What a view!

We would highly recommend Villa Maria!The house was in a fantastic location, we could easily walk to town, sodas, restaurants and El Salto. It was clean and we felt very safe. The birds were amazing and the views of Arenal when the clouds are away is just unreal. The communication of the property manger was fantastic. They also helped set up transportation and an excursion. They were fast to respond and incredibly helpful. Highly recommend for your trip to La Fortuna. We were 6 adults with 7 teens.

Great family spot

Our multi-generation family of 8 all enjoyed our time at this beautiful property, AND I can't say enough nice things about the Home Vacation/House of Tours service. We were making this trip "on our own" and their help with resources and speedy responses was just the best! Thanks especially to Mario. The property was just as described. We loved it. Spectacular view. Well equipped kitchen. Ample parking. Felt very safe. Lovely decor and linens. Thanks for all the great beach towels. Very detailed and helpful information about the house and area. Clear directions on getting there from the airport, plus restaurant recommendations along the way. We ate at Restaurant Mi Rancho both coming and going! All in all, a great Costa Rica family vacation. We all hated to leave. Pura vida!

Perfect Family Vacation

Our time spent in La Fortuna was so much better because of our stay at Villa Maria. There is tons of beds all of which were incredibly comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you might need. Booking this house was a great decision and we would definitely choose this house again.

Nice property

The house was very nice. Not over the top fancy but comfortable. Plenty of beds and bathrooms for large groups. Would have liked some additional seating in the living room but the outdoor seating made up for it. Kids really enjoyed the pool with a great view of the volcano right out front. At one point during our stay the washer broke and the host arranged for the cleaning lady to do our laundry for us which she graciously did. They also helped book a tour for us to the Baldi Hot Springs and saved us quite a bit of money. Be sure to also have breakfast with Guiselle next door. Wonderful authentic Costa Rica. Experience.

Property Manager, House of Tours, responded to every request and they we very accommodating. the house itself was clean, as good or better than the pictures. Location is perfect, less than a mile outside of town. close to all the activities, waterfall, volcano, etc. we really enjoyed the local swimming hole with rope swing that was within walking distance of our place.

Beautiful and spacious property with Volcano views

The views of the Volcano from your patio and pool were amazing. Plenty of sleeping space and having 4 full bathrooms was great. The beds were comfortable and the house was very clean. It would be great to have a dishwasher and air conditioning in the family room and kitchen but you are in a rainforest. Eder and the entire crew were very responsive and helpful. The very close walking distance to the El Salto rope swing was a big hit with my teenage sons. We didn't rent a car while in La Fortuna but it might be helpful to get groceries and get to the local restaurants. Overall, a fantastic stay!

Beautiful home ih La Fortuna

We certainly enjoyed our stay! We had quite a bit of mis-communication with the host as well as no hot water for the first day we were there (propane tank had run out). The tiny ants all over the kitchen are probably par for the course in such a climate - I would have like a can of bug spray available. Nevertheless, the property worked out very well for us and our 6 adult "kids".

Great house in LaFortuna

Our family group of 10 had a wonderful stay at this modern LaFortuna home. The property is only a few minutes from town, and the house and property were very clean. Each bedroom had an attached bath and air conditioning. The beds were comfortable. We loved relaxing in the pool with the amazing volcano view. There is another house on the gated property but there are trees in between so it still feels private. There are adequate supplies for cooking. We ran out of LP gas one evening when we were going to use the flat top grill and we contacted management who had someone come with a replacement cylinder in less than an hour. A couple of minor issues- the washing machine wouldn’t spin the clothes dry and the safe handle seemed to be broken. (Just adding this for future renters reference, because these were really not a big deal for us) We loved this house and would definitely recommend to others.

La Fortuna Fun

We loved the house! It had everything we needed, and lots of beds. We adored the outside living area, and the views were spectacular! We totally appreciated the basket of pool towels. The location of the house was great, because every activity we did was 30 min or less away! Although we were only a mile from downtown, you definitely needed to drive there at night. Walking wasn’t really an option.

Our stay was superb from start to finish. The communication with the host was better than any place I’ve ever stayed. As a guest I had made a couple of mistakes in our booking, and Eder/Alan was more than accommodating, he made things happen for us last minute, and I will be forever, grateful for the communication and the knowledge and follow through. I would absolutely book with house of tours again. Thank you for a wonderful stay for our first time in Costa Rica.
