Guesthouse vacation rentals in Alajuela Province

Silvia was a wonderful host and the local groundskeepers were lovely as well. Silvia went above and beyond, helping us to communicate to the airline regarding our luggage that didnt arrive. the place was exactly as posted and an amazing value, and was perfect for what we needed. it was wonderfully located from all the sights, and perfectly secluded for our family with little kids. We would love to stay here again when we come back to Cosra Rica!

Read the list of amenities carefully.

Everything was great – lovely place, clean, just as described. Very friendly host.

This apartment is good, just as described in the listing. It's equipped with everything necessary and all appliances and WiFi work well. Good stay!

We really loved this Airbnb. The small casita was very comfortable, had great views, friendly animals that came to say hello regularly and was close to lots of activities near the lake and town. The space felt clean, super safe, and homey. We will definitely book again, our favorite place near the lake so far!!

Beautiful garden and so very peaceful! Gerhard met us at the gate which was so helpful because it was not very easy to find plus it was dark so even harder. He was very informative about the area. Their dog Coco was so friendly and we enjoyed having her around.

We enjoyed staying at Cat’s and Yolanda’s home. Even though there is shared common areas, we felt very comfortable and private. Afternoon swims in the pool and lounging in the hot tub was relaxing. Quiet mornings in the upper deck were peaceful and you could hang out and enjoy the gorgeous valley view. We are fairly active so walks into town were very doable. Atenas has a good mix of tourists and locals and is a friendly town.

Laurie and Barbara were excellent hosts, going over and above expectations at every turn. They were extremely helpful when our rental car had a flat tyre, driving out to find us on the main road to Tilaran. Laurie changed the tyre for us because the rental car didn't have the correct tools. Laurie and Barbara drove us to places and restaurants we would not have otherwise found. The views from the road above Lake Arenal are truly spectacular. The Casita is fairly close to many unique attractions. It is quite private and quiet, except for some men who were working on a building next door. The tastefully decorated Casita has a beautiful view of Lake Arenal from the back yard. It has an excellent washer and dryer, a comfortable king sized bed, a lovely bathroom and a comfy couch for watching TV. The kitchen had enough equipment for basic food preparation, which we appreciated. Any time of day it was great to spend time soaking up the sun and bird watching/listening. We saw/heard hummingbi

Dulce's place is a little gem with a fantastic view. We stayed two nights and felt very welcome. Everything we expected was available, and the communication was easy and smooth. Highly recommended!

This place is absolutely stunning. Out of the whole region, it was by far the most beautiful. The hosts are kind, friendly, and responsible — they offer breakfast or dinner upon request. The house is located in a very quiet and remote area, exactly what we were looking for. We enjoyed walks around the nearby surroundings and even hiked up a hill with views of several volcanoes. The house itself is very clean, everything inside is new and well-maintained. A tree near the house attracts a variety of birds — even more species than we saw in the national parks! We also had horses come right up to the house, which was magical. Everything was perfect. Just one note: there are some dogs on the property that roam freely and might bark at guests, so if you're uncomfortable around dogs, it's something to keep in mind. Also, the location shown on the Airbnb map is not accurate, and it was difficult to find the place at first. Be sure to message the hosts in advance and ask for Google map point

Our stay at Gineth‘s place was really great. The view is beautiful specially when you wake up in the morning and the first thing you see is this amazing view! 😍 The house itself has everything you need: a good shower, a well equipped kitchen, a comfy bed & enough space! The path to get to the house is a bit rocky, so a 4x4 is highly recommended, but it’s also an adventure! Would definitely recommend to stay!

This place really is a gem in the hills overlooking the village of San Isidro de Penas Blancas. Perfect for families or individuals, International and domestic Costa Rican travellers, to stay put; or to tour mountains, valleys and rivers b/w the Arenal and Poas volcanos and end the day in comfort listening by the pool in the gardens to Exotic Birds and seeing grazing cattle and maybe the big iguana! Mila often shares meals, fruit, coffee and Costa Rican cooking tips. She often invites guests on ad hoc adventures. During those outings, I had animal sightings, including sloths and a parrot; beautiful lush mountain and valley scenery always; lots of water, night rain as well as visits to waterfalls, swims in many rivers and even the Pacific Ocean. The Apartment is airy and comfortable. An amazing mountain valley vista (heart) from my hours long perch on the main balcony morning and evening every day! Ask Mila about sourcing locally made cheese, the best artisan coffee and raw ca

The place is exactly as it looks in the pictures. Very comfortable, nice, with A/C and it also has a laundry room. Definitely an option to go back. The hostess was always attentive to any questions.

Kevin and Liz were wonderful hosts, we felt right at home and the kids LOVED their sweet doggos! Kevin's recommendation to a nearby hot spring park was one of our best days in Costa Rica. We had dinner at the neighbours and the food was wonderful. The daily coffee/breakfast was delicious. Felt like an authentic Costa Rican experience!

Super relaxing place, you can only hear the noise of nature!

A beautiful, comfortable, and peaceful place to relax and recharge. Perfect for spending your days off and escaping the fast pace and noise of the city. The atmosphere is serene, the surroundings are lush and inviting, and the property is thoughtfully maintained. There are also plenty of charming spots to explore nearby—whether you’re into nature or just a quiet café with a view. Highly recommended for anyone looking to unwind in a calm and cozy environment.

Even though we stayed only 1 night, we really enjoyed Dani and his wife's property, hospitality, and the stories they shared with us at the outdoor patio under the moonlight. Kids enjoyed watching the soccer game, then spent few hours playing in the field right at the property. The property is well maintained, clean, safe, and in a good neighborhood. He and his wife took few of us to the wholesale farmer market at night to hunt for the tropical fruits, especially the soursop (guanabana) per our request. They went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable. One side of the property has 4 rooms with AC (6 single bunk beds in each) and 4 bathrooms. The other side has a kitchen and dining room; and few more rooms with fans only (and bunk beds) & bathrooms. Weather is cool down at night in March. Overall, everyone enjoyed our stay and wanted to stay longer. It will be our first choice to stay if we are back to San Jose. Thank you so much Dani and the Wife!

Great value. Peaceful and quiet surroundings. Very responsive host. Easy to get around by car, close to San Jose. The air conditioning was lovely in hot weather. We had a great stay.

La Casita is a peaceful retreat in beautiful surroundings. Everyday we got to see the mountains in different appearances in different weathers, right from the comfort of home. The house is equipped with everything you need for a long stay: living space, fully equipped kitchen and dining space, bed with blankets and pillows, wardrobe, TV, private attached bathroom with hot shower as well as washer and dryer, car parking, good WiFi. The patio is nice for chilling, eating or even working, with the views of the lush greenery and sounds of birds. Nancy is a very nice host, friendly, welcoming and kind, always willing to help and always available whenever we needed something. She is a lovely person who felt like family. We would love to return to this place someday.

We had a wonderful stay for four days in this lovely cabin which looks exactly as on the pictures. It is located in the middle of nature and you can hear the howling monkeys in the morning and evening hours. The kitchen is great for cooking. We loved everything about this place, especially the friendly host family who is super caring.

A warm place, with a family atmosphere, don Roberto, a very excellent host. Recommended 100%

Loved the location of this house with views in all directions.
