We had a really great stay at Villa Marcela. It is perfectly located just off the main road in La Fortuna so you are close to all the action but out of the way a bit. There is plenty of space at the house for everyone to have their own rooms. The kids loved playing in the pool in the evening after a long day of exploring. There is tons to do all within about an hour drive of the house, including arenal volcano, zip lines, river tubing, waterfalls, El Salto rope swing, and so much more.
We had a wonderful time at this location! From the moment we were greeted at the property to the time we drove away we were comfortable! The beds were comfortable, and the rooms were spacious and the air-conditioning in each bedroom worked well. The kitchen was stocked with the necessary dishes. The pool was beautiful and we felt safe! We would come back to this location and would highly recommend!!
Our family had a wonderful stay at Villa Marcella. The location is so convenient and the home is absolutely beautiful! The only challenge we had was when it came time to cook dinner. The villa didnât have any baking sheets or foil, and was limited in number of plates, silverware and paper towels. Overall would highly recommend!
We had an outstanding stay in Villa Marcella. The property was just as advertised and the location was perfect. Close to town, but still quiet and alone! Felt safe our whole visit. Had a maintenance issue the first night and they came out first thing in the morning to fix, on a Sunday! Mario, our host, was very pleasant to work with and had great communication all through the booking, including booking all our excursions to include transportation. He was very knowledgeable of the area and gave many recommendations from where to eat, order in, and shop. I would highly recommend this house to anyone looking to stay in the La Fortuna area.
The house was perfect for our extended family of 8. The view of the volcano from the pool was beautiful. The house was well stocked. The concierge service was amazing. This location was close to town and also close to the sites. I highly recommend this place!
Great house plan. True to picture. Only draw back was the size of the shared bathroom. No space on bathroom vanity. None at all. Could not even leave a toothbrush out. No place for toilet paper. Toilet paper was on top of toilet. Hard to reach. The other bathrooms are very large but this shared bath was extremely very small. Lack of hot water after 2 showers. Water was freezing cold. Had to wait about 2 hours for water to become warm ( not hot). Other than that the house is absolutely beautiful!
We loved staying in this home . It was a perfect location to get to all of our activities, close to restaurants. The pool was wonderful and the kitchen gave us the option to cook a nice breakfast a couple of mornings. The only suggestion I have is that the steps going into the pool were a little slippery and one of our friends actually slipped going into the pool. It might be great to add a hand rail. Overall, we absolutely loved our time in Costa Rica!
Great location-easy walk into town or $2 dollar cab ride. Cabs quickly responsive and easy. Home meticulous and spacious for large group. Can say enough about House of Tours (owners). BEST service and instant communication. Met all our needs at rental and transportation. They truly do get best prices Highly recommend!!
Nice four bedroom house, just outside of town with small pool that was clean. Management company was very responsive. We did not think the exterior alarm system worked
We had a great stay at Villa Marcella. The home and yard was very spacious and it felt very private and safe. It had a big kitchen & the complimentary coffee was very nice :) the hosts were super helpful with planning activities. I would come back again!
