Vacation rentals in Upala

We absolutely loved our stay! From the moment we arrived, the sweeping panoramic views stole our breath. Our hosts went above and beyond, greeting us with baskets of freshly picked fruits each morning that fueled our adventures around the farm.

Our group of 8 adults and 2 teenagers stayed at Allan & Jorge’s villa, and it exceeded all our expectations. The villa offered the perfect balance of privacy and a shared space, ideal for our group. Everything was spotless and well-maintained, and communication with our hosts was seamless. We especially appreciated the thoughtful welcome gift of fruit and drinks. Thank you, Allan & Jorge!

This was our 2nd stay at this location in a 6-month time period. Great place and we will be back.

I can't say enough about how good the house was. Elidier was a better host than words could say, he helped to arrange some extras for my wife's birthday that really made the stay above and beyond. The house was clean, beautiful, private and safe. If you need a house in the La Fortuna area look no further, this is the place. You will not find a better host than Elidier.

We had a great short stay, could return already to continue discovering the many things to do, bathing, hiking, and the like. Juan helped with every necessary hints and recommendations and was always responsive and open for questions. Many thanks to you Maribel and Juan! We'd have liked to stay longer than two nights:) Best, Paula, Markus, and L.

We enjoyed our stay! It's a nice, clean home with scenic views in an authentic, safe community. We bought a few basics for breakfast (eggs, queso blanco, milk, coffee, juice) at the nearby community mini-market (a few blocks away) so we could make breakfast at the place. If you want fresh fruits & veggies, you should stop at a bigger market on your way (La Fortuna? Or El Castillo?). We ate dinner twice at the nearby La Terraza restaurant, which was good. We loved the batidos de fruta (fruit smoothies/shakes - 'de leche' ('of milk') . My favorite is the batido de papaya (de leche). My kids also tried the strawberry, pineapple, maracuya (and I think others, too!). We enjoyed the dishes we had there, too. Internet at the house can be spotty, but there's some cell reception, too. If you're on vacation and just checking your email from time to time and researching things to do in the area, it's fine; if you're looking to be a digital nomad, this is probably not the place for you.

We loved how close to town we were but still seemed private and secluded! The area was calm and quiet we loved having breakfast outside our cabin! The area surrounding was stunning the inside was spotless !!! We also met their friendly little kitten! Place was awesome can’t stop thinking about it can’t wait for the next time we are in La Fortuna.!

Clean and comfy. Close to lots of activities we booked which was convenient

Wonderful stay! Very private location a bit off the beaten path. The home was comfortable and the gardens are gorgeous! Milton showed us around and taught us how to eat green mango. We felt very safe at his place. Loved getting local tips and info from him and his wife. Just felt like we were staying with family.
