This villa is absolutely amazing. The outside patio and pool area is so large and beautifully done. Super fun to walk around the property and see the different plants and wildlife.The inside stays nice and cool. It was extremely comfortable and welcoming.Our added on dinner was fantastic! The food was crazy tasty and very affordable. The cleaning and gardening staff was suberb.Thank you so much for making our stay so enjoyable. We can't wait to come back.
Amazing house, more space than we could even use, the host team was great, and the home cooked dinners and breakfasts (arranged with Yadi, the amazing woman who lives in a separate home on the property) were the best food we had in CR. The place was spotless, perfect, and a very easy ten minute drive to everything in Fortuna. Loves it.
This property will blow your mind. The grounds are impeccable and would match any expensive botanical garden. There's a gorgeous yoga studio & gazeboamongst the garden. Picture perfect pool area with a hot and very large hot tub! The outdoor living space was huge and where we ate our meals, had coffee, and listened to all the jungle noises when it rained. Rooms were comfortable, house was giant and plenty of room to spread out! Jordy was SO helpful for the weeks passing up to our trip. His excursion recommendations were perfect and we were thankful to have a local person arranging the transportation and the tours so that we didn't have to. There's a few restaurants, local shops and grocery within walking distance. Everyone we meet were so nice. If we ever get to come back to Vista Rica we will DEFINITELY come back here!! Believe me-- you won't be disappointed!!
We really enjoyed our stay at this villa. The back of house opens to the wonderful grounds and pool. It was a perfect place for relaxing after a busy sightseeing day. The activities and drivers provided by the concierge Jordy were great.
Ranch Villa is paradise!!The photos do not do it justice!The excellent staff are friendly and very accommodating.Joaquin took some of us on a farm and property tour. It was very fun. His horticulture knowledge is outstanding. We had Yadira and her co worker prepare 2 meals for us. The food is amazing. We are all sad to leave this beautiful place.There were 11 of us staying and all had more than enough space. We took advantage of the pool and hot tub as much as we could.
Perfect home base for adventures around La Fortuna
The house and grounds were beautiful and so well kept. The backyard and pool area was the perfect spot to hang out after a long day of adventure. We had one meal prepared by Yadi which was delicious! Another plus of the villa were restaurants and grocery stores well within walking distance. Will absolutely consider Rancho Villa Arenal for future visits.
We had a wonderful time at The Ranch Villa Arenal! The house and grounds are beautiful and the staff was warm and welcoming. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub and sitting on the porch at night. The Ranch was close to all of our activities in the area. We would highly recommend this property!
We had the best time at the villa. Yadi cooked the most amazing meals, Joaquin took some of our group on a tour of the grounds but on top of that he always seemed to appear right when we needed something, anticipating our every thought. We truly have no complaints, this was the perfect location and experience for our group of 8 adults.
Immaculate grounds. Beautifully maintained pool. Great A/C. Close to activities. Housekeeper preparers delightful meals served al fresco on a beautiful patio.
The Ranch Villa Arenal is a gorgeous house and property. We felt at home and fell in love with Yadi the house keeper/cook and Joaquin the grounds keeper. Yadi cooked a delicious breakfast every day and Joaquin entertained us with tours of the working ranch. The Fortuna area offers many activities for all age groups. Our family had a fantastic time and highly recommend this property. Pura Vida.
What a beautiful place. We felt so special and welcome. The grounds are impressive and clean. Each day the pool area gets cleaned . We had ladies fix our meal 2x and the prices were very reasonable. There is someone on the grounds who would help us with anything. Everything we did was close by.
I cannot say enough positive things about our stay. Jorge was an amazing host with amazing staff. Jordy, the concierge was so responsive and helpful with organizing everything for our stay. Yadi, the chef, made the yummiest food for our group and Joaquin, the Gardner, gave us a fun and interactive tour of the property. My husband and friends raved about the house and grounds. Would 100% stay here again!
This was a beautiful property and the stay was amazing. Hands down the grounds man was one of the best people we have ever met! Had a mishap where my wallet was left and nobody notified me until I reached out, but otherwise all went perfectly. Such a beautiful property!
Looks like the listing. Great overall stay will a large group of friends. Huge property with lots to see (fruits, birds, etc) and pool w/ hot tub. Water pressure can be low at times if more than 1 person is using a shower.
