Cottage vacation rentals in El Castillo

Andrea was an exceptional host, very helpful and responsive. The place was more beautiful than the photos and the attention to detail inside was very nice. I highly recommend a stay here for a very peaceful, restful, and for the amazing views and experience.

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.

Nos encantó! Es como salir de casa pero con las comodidades de una casa. Esperamos volver.

Truly splendid stay! Inflatable jacuzzi was amazing! And you can’t beat fresh clean water, chlorine free! We absolutely loved the place. We would definitely come again. Amazing price, definitely worth what we paid. It works great for a family with up to 4 children. Our king size bed was comfortable completely a dream. Nice kitchen well stocked. Huge glass front gives the house a sunny open feel. Even had a washer and dryer to get laundry done. Even provided laundry soap and extra toilet paper when needed. There’s even a simple grill and charcoal we used to grill supper.

Fantastic view and a really nice property. We didn’t get to see much of the surroundings due to unfortunate weather, but we enjoyed the house a lot. The area is beautiful, even on a rainy day, and the house is very close to the poas volcano, yet far enough away that you are not surrounded by tourists.

Coincide con la descripción, la casa cuenta con todas las comodidades para disfrutar en familia. Viajamos con un bebé y mascotas y no tuvimos ningún inconveniente.

This was an amazing AirBnB there is far more to do and enjoy on the farm than you expect. The farm is enormous and there is a short hike down a little hill through the jungle that leads down to a big open area for cattle where you can cross a stream and enjoy the beautiful nature. Also there is this great, cheap restaurant called Victorino's which is relatively close.

We stayed for two weeks and felt sad to leave. Yuliana and her parents were great hosts, always responsive and helpful, recommending places to eat and visit and the occasional gift. Throw into that their dogs who asked for little more than a belly rub for their friendship. The cottage itself was as described. Large screened windows kept the place aired and let the sounds of nature flood in. The lack of aircon meant it was often hot especially upstairs and in the afternoon but what you get in return is a deeper connection to your surroundings. This included visits from capuchin and howler monkeys, birds, bats, toads and countless butterflies, and a diverse range of insects. The screens are pretty good at keeping the latter outside, and you can close the windows. Wi-Fi is decent and other amenities as described. With the heat we didn’t cook much but the option was there. We’d 100% return for the hospitality, the closeness to nature and the dogs.

Neal and Diane were very helpful. we had some issues with the car, contacting folks back home. They gave us some good tips. I had an issue with my knee and they gave me the number to a physical therapist in the area. Claudia was great, I was experiencing no pain by the time I left. The pool was a good place to watch storms move in and out from. The birds and other ani.als made it wonderful to look at. There property is just so beautiful. Tronodora is small but has all the things in a short walk for a long stay or a short stay. We had a car but on most days we simply walked into town. We fid hang out with there two dogs, Franny and Albert. They were cute, loving, creatures.

House is on a dairy farm, cozy and comfortable. Kitchen is equipped with everything you need for cooking, thank you very much. You do need to buy your food before you go since it is a little remote. There is someone working in the middle of the night next to the house and that might bother you if you are a light sleeper. One of the bathroom does not have hot water at the time and it seems common that kitchen does not have hot water. We are ok since there is another bathroom has warm enough water for shower.

My daughter and her boyfriend were there for a bike ride ride. The location was perfect for proximity to the ride and a great environment to relax following a strenuous day! There was a slight mix up with rooms, but it was quickly resolved for everyone. And, my daughter loved the replacement digs (pets included!) Kees is extremely easy to communicate with and very responsive. We highly recommend him and his accommodations.

Muchas gracias Marianela por tu amabilidad, esperamos regresar!

Muy lindo el lugar la verdad, a mi familia y a mí nos encantó mucho todo, la piscina la disfrutamos y nos gustó que tuviera un área para niños ya que siempre viajamos con niños, los anfitriones muy amables y en general todo fue excelente

Le logement est absolument incroyable. Toutes les activités sont très proches, le logement est super bien entretenu et magnifique et l’hôte est impliquée. Je recommande à 100% pour le prix très abordable.

Très bel endroit, le jardin est sublime, en pleine nature et la vue en haut du chemin est juste incroyable ! Le logement est confortable et la terrasse très appréciable. Il est idéalement situé pour profiter des nombreuses activités de la région. Yania est très accueillante et les échanges chaleureux! Une adresse à retenir !

Hermosa casa, me hubiera gustado pasar mas tiempo en ella . El jardin es hermoso y con una hermosa vista al volcan.

El lugar muy limpio, en buen estado, accesible y si cumple con lo que muestran las fotos, el Anfitrión es muy amable y atento y brinda una gran atención

Todo estuvo perfecto! La ubicación es excelente, ingreso a la casa fue sencillo, las indicaciones súper claras y la privacidad de la casa es una de sus principales cualidades. Súper importante comentar que pueden ingresar cualquier tipo de vehículo. Nosotros duramos aproximadamente 9 min de la casa al supermercado más cercano. La atención y comunicación con Home Vacations estuvo perfecta! Súper atentos a las necesidades. Ideal para familias con niños o bebés porque la casa está totalmente equipada.

Nous étions 6 personnes dont 2 enfants, pour un séjour de 4 jours. Tout s'est bien passé. nous avons particulièrement aimé la piscine, le calme du parc arboré, fleuri et particulièrement soigné, les animaux, l'allée et le sentier de promenade dans la forêt.. Eduardo, le gardien, était gentil et nous a aidé quand nous en avions besoin. Bref, nous avons adoré notre séjour.

Wonderful home….. beautiful grounds. If you are booking transportation I would only accept Adrian as your driver, he is awesome.

El lugar es precioso, la casa tiene todo lo necesario para alojarse. Llegamos y todo estaba limpio, la piscina es techada por lo que no se siente el sol tan directo. Es un vecindario muy tranquilo, tiene un bar restaurante y un súper cerca. Sin duda volveríamos

This is a nice, spacious place. The hosts are super friendly and gracious. The town is beautiful ... one of my favorite spots in Costa Rica.

Bonito lugar para desconectarse y estar tranquilo en la naturaleza. El único detalle es el olor que proviene de uno de los baños, que no es tan agradable. Aparte de ahí, todo excelente.

Esmeralda's home was amazing for my family to stay in. We were greeted with views of Arenal Volcano 24/7. The location is about 15 min from La Fortuna (4 wheel drive is a must on Costa Rica roads), away from the hustle and bustle and city sounds, and her house is plotted on top of a hill with the best views, which we loved very much. Not only were the views and peacefulness amazing, Esmeralda is the best host I have every had! She is such a sweet lady who lives on the property, so whenever we needed something or had questions, she walked on over to answer questions and help us. She even made us breakfast one morning. Her grandson Daniel, helps out as well and has his own guiding company called Las Pastivas. We took one of his tours and he is amazing and very knowledgable on everything Costa Rican! Check him out as well for tours. If you are looking for a Tican local house experience, this is the house. We will stay here again when we come back to La Fortuna area.
