Cottage vacation rentals in Alajuela Province

Andrea was an exceptional host, very helpful and responsive. The place was more beautiful than the photos and the attention to detail inside was very nice. I highly recommend a stay here for a very peaceful, restful, and for the amazing views and experience.

My friend and I really appreciated Ana Maria's hospitality and her family's gorgeous home. We loved the special personal touches including the jungle of house plants and well-stocked library with board games and books. Having the fireplace stocked with wood made it possible to have the perfect ambiance for reading in front of the fire on a misty afternoon! We found it helpful to have earplugs at night, as the home is close to a transit road, and earplugs did the trick to help us sleep soundly.

Very nice house. Peaceful setting. Beautiful view of the mountains.

Truly splendid stay! Inflatable jacuzzi was amazing! And you can’t beat fresh clean water, chlorine free! We absolutely loved the place. We would definitely come again. Amazing price, definitely worth what we paid. It works great for a family with up to 4 children. Our king size bed was comfortable completely a dream. Nice kitchen well stocked. Huge glass front gives the house a sunny open feel. Even had a washer and dryer to get laundry done. Even provided laundry soap and extra toilet paper when needed. There’s even a simple grill and charcoal we used to grill supper.

Fantastic view and a really nice property. We didn’t get to see much of the surroundings due to unfortunate weather, but we enjoyed the house a lot. The area is beautiful, even on a rainy day, and the house is very close to the poas volcano, yet far enough away that you are not surrounded by tourists.

This was an amazing AirBnB there is far more to do and enjoy on the farm than you expect. The farm is enormous and there is a short hike down a little hill through the jungle that leads down to a big open area for cattle where you can cross a stream and enjoy the beautiful nature. Also there is this great, cheap restaurant called Victorino's which is relatively close.

We stayed for two weeks and felt sad to leave. Yuliana and her parents were great hosts, always responsive and helpful, recommending places to eat and visit and the occasional gift. Throw into that their dogs who asked for little more than a belly rub for their friendship. The cottage itself was as described. Large screened windows kept the place aired and let the sounds of nature flood in. The lack of aircon meant it was often hot especially upstairs and in the afternoon but what you get in return is a deeper connection to your surroundings. This included visits from capuchin and howler monkeys, birds, bats, toads and countless butterflies, and a diverse range of insects. The screens are pretty good at keeping the latter outside, and you can close the windows. Wi-Fi is decent and other amenities as described. With the heat we didn’t cook much but the option was there. We’d 100% return for the hospitality, the closeness to nature and the dogs.

Quiet place, clean, the horse riding it's perfect, I recommend the place

Neal and Diane were very helpful. we had some issues with the car, contacting folks back home. They gave us some good tips. I had an issue with my knee and they gave me the number to a physical therapist in the area. Claudia was great, I was experiencing no pain by the time I left. The pool was a good place to watch storms move in and out from. The birds and other ani.als made it wonderful to look at. There property is just so beautiful. Tronodora is small but has all the things in a short walk for a long stay or a short stay. We had a car but on most days we simply walked into town. We fid hang out with there two dogs, Franny and Albert. They were cute, loving, creatures.

Chechey is a great host, he is very responsive and kind. The place was very well located in the center of Bijagua, and it is in a quiet street. The house is very comfortable and has everything you need. I definitely recommend the place!

very peaceful place with a great pool

Spectacular service, attentive and friendly all the time

The place is absolutely amazing. All activities are very close, the accommodation is super well maintained and beautiful and the host is involved. I would 100% recommend it for the very affordable price.

Peaceful and cozy. The right price, we were looking for.

Ana was an amazing host who was very responsive and helpful. She was welcoming, and the place was clean and as described. Would highly recommend staying here. Everything was clean, well maintained, and in a beautiful area. Host was extremely helpful and made us feel at home.

The place is beautiful, with lots of green areas and a beautiful garden. The house is beautiful and very spacious, ideal for six people. It is super well located, just a few minutes from downtown Nicoya. Katia and Carlos were excellent hosts: always attentive, very friendly and answered all our questions patiently. The place has many fruit trees, which attracts a great variety of birds. If you like observation, it's perfect: we saw trogons, aracaris, titiras, motomotos and more. The pool is beautiful, as is the ranch, ideal for relaxing surrounded by nature. We will definitely be back!

The location was perfect for visiting Coffee yours, La Paz and other points of interest. The restaurant food and service was amazing. The weather did not cooperate as it was rainy and cold so we had to use the 2 space heaters and the wood fireplace to keep warm. All supplies were there to get the fire going. I would stay here again. I can understand why in the rainy months a 4x4 is recommended as the drive up is wet and muddy and between the cow pastures. It’s a cool part of the place that made it different from anywhere else.

Very spacious house with all the amenities, a swimming pool with a wonderful view and excellent service from Shirley

We had a very nice stay at Eric’s place. Everything felt very clean and on the newer side, and it was all accurate to the pictures. It was easy enough to find if you follow the directions, and while the house was private, we felt close enough to downtown when we needed something. The yard is lovely and my kids were in the hammock and yard every day. We were only cooking breakfasts, but the kitchen had everything we needed. We would stay there again.

We really enjoyed our stay. Sometimes pictures make a place look a lot nicer than it is, but in this situation the place is even more beautiful in person. There is plenty of space especially for its size, a well stocked kitchenette, and great shelving and storage. We initially got a little confused trying to find the location with our apps, but Aurora’s very detailed message with photos got us where we needed to be. We really appreciated her proactive and thorough communication. This is somewhere we would have been happy in on an extended stay. It’s not far from Santa Elana but is removed enough to be peaceful, and the back deck and beautiful window wall with string lights was a beautiful and ambient touch. This is sincerely the best bang for buck place we have ever stayed in and highly recommend it!

I would definitely return to this place. It's simply beautiful and ideal for relaxing. Beautiful views and the place is very tastefully and cozily decorated. I recommend arriving during the day, as it is an area with few buildings and you have to follow some signs on the way; but the host shares super detailed directions to get there without getting lost. I was very afraid to go to the area, as I was traveling at night; however, the host was always available to provide me with accompaniment and alternatives. A highly recommended and enjoyed place.

Great place to spend a weekend or some vacation time, with a tiny supermarket nearby which can be reached out by walking. Adrian was very responsive, making the stay even better. I recommend the place and would stay again when going to La Fortuna

We loved our stay! We nicknamed the patio the patio of peace. The surroundings are beautiful. The insects and birds sing to you all day. Clean and comfortable. About 15-20 min drive into downtown La Fortuna. We throughly enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful home….. beautiful grounds. If you are booking transportation I would only accept Adrian as your driver, he is awesome.
