Farmstay vacation rentals in Alajuela Province

My friend and I really appreciated Ana Maria's hospitality and her family's gorgeous home. We loved the special personal touches including the jungle of house plants and well-stocked library with board games and books. Having the fireplace stocked with wood made it possible to have the perfect ambiance for reading in front of the fire on a misty afternoon! We found it helpful to have earplugs at night, as the home is close to a transit road, and earplugs did the trick to help us sleep soundly.

If you are like me, always looking for views and sunsets don’t think twice! This comfortable little mountain home has by far the best views we have found so far in Monteverde. We usually head out at sunset time looking for a good spot but this stay we spent every evening watching the spectacular and ever changing panorama from our own front porch. Super comfortable beds and well equipped kitchen. Would like to add Waze will get you to the lower gate (search Casa del sol, Unnamed road). Just continue on the unpaved road and you will get there! Village is called Altos de Cebadilla.

We absolutely loved this place. It is well maintained and has everything you need. It feels like home. The woodwork in the house is so beautiful. The property is gorgeous and has trails to explore. Carolina and Manuel arranged to get some specially requested food for our stay. They had the food there for our arrival which was so helpful. Manuel took us on an awesome night hike. Carolina’s husband also gave us a tour of the property too. Carolina and her family really go out of their way to make this a welcoming place. They grow amazing coffee on the property which we really enjoyed. They also shared their garden veggies and the bananas. We stayed 4 days and wished we had stayed longer. We found it easy to go into Monteverde for activities like coffee tours, cloud forest, animal sanctuary el Tigre waterfall, etc. There are some great restaurants close by the house and of course in monteverde too. We enjoyed ordering homemade empanadas from cafe Horizonte for breakfast.

We stayed at David's place as a couple. It is a very private grounds with two separate houses. A car should definitely be available. The view through the glass facade or even from the balcony to the volcano is fascinating. The balcony is very inviting to enjoy a cool drink or make yoga - great backdrop! There are also restaurants in the area, where I would recommend driving to La Fortuna (about 20-30m in travel time). The communication with David was impeccable, quick and friendly. Possible activities for active people in an environment of about 60 km: Hanging Bridges, Cavernas de Venado, Rio Celeste, Mirador El Silencio.

Vera was recommended to us by our relocation team, whom we have hired to help us move. She has been in Costa Rica a long time and gave us some incredible advice and went out of her way to make us feel right at home 🏡

Great nature spot with view

We have stayed at Casa Isabelita multiple times. It is always so peaceful. We hope to stay again.

A week in Pura Vida.  Casa Aracari is a great combination of Tico and modern style and amenities.  Very comfortable, with large windows which makes the living area light and airy, and gives a pleasant view of Vulcan Poas which was puffing steam during our stay.  Our trip was during the rainy season, so things were ... humid (as expected).  There is no air conditioning, but a bit of adjusting of the screened windows and doors gave light breezes through the house, so totally comfortable.  The only issue we ran into was after one particularly strong thunderstorm, the power was out and the electrically powered driveway gate wouldn't open (can happen anywhere, so you just deal with it).  This was quickly and efficiently remedied with a text to Diana.  The Jacuzzi was welcoming on cool evenings after long days of sight seeing.  All in all, our stay was peaceful, pleasant, and this was a great retreat and base from which to explore the Atenas region.    Highly recommended.

This place was absolutely perfect for what we needed for our family of 4. Our boys are teenagers and were fine sleeping in the room separate from the house. Everything was as expected and communication was great. Views were gorgeous as described. One of our most favorite stays in Costa Rica.

My partner and I had an amazing stay for our first trip to Costa Rica! The place was beautiful and serene, looked exactly as in photos, and quite convenient to a lot of attractions. Irene was also a responsive and very helpful host. We really enjoyed our stay!!

Such a beautiful place in beautiful surroundings. Gilberto and Gretten are wonderful people. Thank you for teaching me how to milk a cow! Book this place!

We really enjoyed our time in Monteverde. The location is exactly as pictured. The view of the mountains is incredible! And it is a very peaceful location, but only 15 minutes into town. Yamileth was helpful and met us when we arrived to ensure we knew which drive and how to locate the parking. I would recommend this location to anyone considering the Monteverde area.

We’ve stayed at some cool places over the years, but Casa Del Mono is one of my all-time favorites. It’s a perfect little getaway for anyone who wants to be close to nature but with all the comforts of home. It’s a very private property sitting way up the side of a mountain with a beautiful courtyard and hiking trails right out the front door. You simply cannot beat the view, and waking up to a chorus of birds like toucans, oropendolas, and tanagers was incredible (bring your binoculars)! The house itself is beautiful and well-equipped with everything you need. The kitchen is fully stocked, the bed is comfortable, and the shower/tub are gorgeous. It was everything we were hoping for in a Costa Rican stay, and I hope we get to visit again soon!

Although on the main road to the national park, a quiet tranquil spot. Beautifully decorated. lovely garden ideal for bird watching.

An incredible place, a unique peace and tranquility, Amalia is super friendly and answered all my questions quickly and in a good way. I would definitely be back again! Also, I want to highlight that the place is super clean and comfortable!

Where to begin...a beautiful location outside of the thick tourist zone of La Fortuna. The views and surroundings were breathtaking. Only about a 10-minute drive into the center of La Fortuna with great dining options. The house was clean and the kitchen had everything we needed. Agustin was responsive and very friendly. Highly recommend this stay for you and your family! Would also be very private and romantic for a couple.

The property was beautiful and the views are incredible. Really enjoyed doing some yoga on the deck!

Amazing place to stay with friends or family and close to La Fortuna downtown and the El Salto rope swing. Great backyard with grill and pool that is covered from the rain.

This Airbnb is a nature lover's dream. Beside the bedroom and bathroom, everything is outside! We enjoyed cooking, reading, and playing cards outside on the covered patio. There are lots of birds and lizards to see and the landscaping is beautiful. We used the pool daily, which is in a very cute area. The location is close to downtown Sarchi. Alonso was very responsive to everything we needed.

This is a mountain top oasis. We loved the view of the Arenal volcano from the infinity pool. The place was the perfect size for our two families. There was plenty of room for everyone. Mario was very attentive to our needs. We even got the opportunity to milk a cow and visit the farm. If you visit La Fortuna, you should consider staying here, you are close to town but still in the country.

Our family came for the first time to Costa Rica and we are super thankful for the hospitality that Mauricio and his family had towards us. Every afternoon his mother came by and drop us some hand made bread. Her dad was always super friendly with our kids and provide us with the opportunity to feed the animals and shared some fresh eggs. Hospitality from this host has been nothing but exceptional!! Hope to see you again !

This house is the perfect spot while exploring La Fortuna. It’s so close to all the restaurants and excursions. We ended up stopping at the house between all of our activities because it was so close and easy to access. The house is way nicer than the pictures look and very clean! The pool was very refreshing and the views of the volcano were amazing!! I would highly recommend this house to anyone visiting the area!

My absolute most favorite destination on planet Earth. Surrounded by breathtaking views and tons of the friendliest dogs you’ll ever meet. As well as cows, horses and goats. it is a piece of paradise. The villas are beautiful, clean comfortable with tons of space. You won’t be able to find a more peaceful place.

Laura and Verny are wonderful hosts. We were very grateful that they opened their beautiful home to us. From the moment we walked into the house, we felt like we were walking into our own home. Laura had everything in her kitchen that I needed to cook and bake for my family. The views surrounding their home are breathtaking. Verny and Laura were very respectful to our privacy and made sure that we had everything we needed. We highly recommend staying at this AirB&B the next time you visit this beautiful country. Thank you Verny and Laura. ☺️
