Vacation rentals with a fire pit in El Castillo

Really great stay and a very nice sheltered conservatory style place with a gas fire pit (easy to use) easy to check in, lovely complimentary marshmallows, easy check in and great spot for the local Italian but only 10 minutes to central Monteverde.

Maikol’s place has a beautiful view overlooking the valley. It is very private and peaceful. It is a bit of a drive from the major centre of Monteverde with 4x4 recommended but well worth it. Maikol was an incredible host and had lots of local suggested activities. Wonderful place to stay!

If every Airbnb had a Tobi, the world would be a better place. He went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful stay in Monteverde. We enjoyed the tranquility of the property, watching the sunsets and the kids enjoyed swinging on the jungle vine! It is up a steep hill but Toni’s directions were great. Coming from living by a national park in Canada I struggled with having to pay fees every time we wanted a nature walk/hike. This can add up quickly for a family of four as every park or trail has their own fee system. It’s as shame as the cloud forest is such a beautiful landscape and I wish it were more freely accessible. We really enjoyed the night safari though, and got to see some really neat creatures including a sloth and bioluminescent scorpion.😍 I would recommend Rainbow House as a great place to stay to explore Monteverde.

If you value travel for its cultural exchange, but you still want your own space and privacy, this may be the perfect combination for you. I traveled with my partner and 3 kids to La Fortuna and stayed for 2 nights at Jose’s Genesis house. The house itself had several charms and perks: a pretty pool our young daughters loved, a jacuzzi, fun bunk beds, a washer and dryer, a luxurious shower, great AC, a fully-equipped kitchen… Jose checked on us after we arrived to make sure we had what we needed. We were very comfortable in the space! For us, the included tour offered something unexpected and special. We are Americans with a culture of not wanting to “impose,” feeling impolite even just for talking too long to someone we don’t know well. By the end of our time with Jose and his family, I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that they had invited us into their home as if we, too, were family. I’m still awed by their trust, relaxed ease, and welcoming spirit.

An excellent place, great location, private and quiet. My wife and I will definitely be back.

An excellent place to spend with family and friends, very private, quality place

My friends and I had a really good stay, and we loved the location and the house. However, somehow we were able to hear when the motorcycles pass by the house when we were sleeping in the middle of the night, and that would wake us up. Other than that, they were very responsive, helpful, property is very clean. extremely convenient as there is a store + coffee shop right across the street.

"We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful place in La Fortuna! The view of the Arenal Volcano from the room was absolutely stunning, and the space was modern, clean, and very comfortable. The location was perfect — peaceful but close enough to town and activities. Communication with the host was easy and everything went smoothly for our arrival. Highly recommend this spot for anyone visiting the area!"

Raquel’s place was amazing! Raquel was very responsive, kind and helpful. The home was great, very clean and cozy. The location is great as well! It’s a 10 minute walk to the grocery store, and a three minute walk to a great restaurant. I highly recommend staying here!

It's a place surrounded by gardens, with trees and it feels very peaceful. The apartment is clean and well equipped. The attention was extraordinary. I liked how safe the car is and how central it is.

Juan's place was CLEAN, nice pots, pans, flatware, great fridge, BEAUTIFUL wood ceilings, comfortable couch, beautiful and clean bathroom. The wifi worked very well. Me and my guest were very impressed with the room. It is so clean that you can actually let your children sit and play on the floors. Juan was very accommodating. He kindly helped me by allowing me to do a late check-in. He was very responsive to my needs and questions. He suggested a great location to go eat and the food was good! This room is right near town. Definitely walkable to restaurants, stores, and places of interest in both directions! The cost of this room was well worth it! My only issue: No side tables in the bedrooms. There was nowhere to set my glasses or cell phone before bed time except on the shelf in front of the bed. No lamps in the bedrooms; you have to keep the bright ceiling lights on when it's late and you want to wind down. Lights had greenish hue. But this room was still awesome!

We had a good time, everything was as describe. Thank you!

Randall is a great host, very kind. I really liked the house, it was very comfortable, organized and clean. Close to the center of fortune, and it sleeps very well

Hi Jennifer as an excellent host, Esteban is also super friendly, attentive to our needs. A super quiet place, spacious, I loved that it is so natural, that they separate the waste. The pools are not so chlorinated. They were always willing and attentive, very friendly. Great place, super recommended 🤗

I felt quite comfortable, a very nice area, I really enjoyed my stay and traveling around the area, I would definitely stay in the same place again!

We loved our stay here! This cute little bnb is off the beaten path with gorgeous views and quiet surroundings 😊 the inside is clean and comfortable and the shower has hot water and comfortable water pressure. The driveway is no joke! Be prepared with a four wheel drive vehicle or to walk. We took our vehicle up and by the end felt comfortable driving up it but the first time was intimidating. Jose helped us find the place with super clear directions and came out when we arrived to greet us and give us some tips for things to do close by. Love the hammock and gazebo and the friendly little kitty that wanders around!

we loved our stay at Casa del Sol. it was a wonderful spot. Great views morning and night. Friendly horses who love carrots. gorgeous plants and birdsong all around the place. thank you Silvio and family.

Our family had a wonderful time. Highly recommend if you want to experience the Monterverde area. This location is close to everything but yet you felt like you were in your own private space. Our kids loved exploring the area around the villa with clear trails and got to see a lot of natural wildlife, birds, monkeys, etc. The people in Monterverde where friendly and we loved walking around town to visiting local restaurants and shops. We will definitely stay here again if we are back.

A beautiful garden with numerous animals. It is a must to sit outside until dark. Great place with flair. We felt very comfortable.

we had an amazing time and would definitely come back. Our highlight: you can spot a lot of animals from the deck of the house including a sloth and a toucan. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. if you are looking for a place that is peaceful, private but still only a 10 minute drive to the town, this is perfect for you.

Christina is an amazing host! She is always responsive, and knows the area very well. The breakfasts were amazing and comprehensive. Being able to walk to dinner at Selina was great as well as Monteverde. Walking to an art gallery and family-fun cafetal (coffee farm), albeit down the mountain, was challenging yet awesome. Pura Vida!

Everything was very good and accurate as described

Josh and Yer’s place was cute and comfortable with a beautiful view. The location was close to all of the sites we wanted to see as well as being close to town. Josh and Yer were very responsive to all of our questions.
