Vacation rentals with a washer and dryer in El Castillo

Quaint place in the middle of La Fortuna. Highly recommended.

Andrea is THE Best host I have ever had! She was always quick to respond with helpful and great recommendations. Her place was very comfortable for my family of 4 very close to everything Monteverde has to offer.

Clear and easy to find location. The studio has everything you need, comfortable and clean. Great views to the volcano with the jacuzzi!

We really enjoyed our stay at Fresia's place. It was a treat having actual hot water in the kitchen sink and the shower, something that we'd realized was not always the case in Costa Rica. It was a bit of a challenge to find which specific villa we were in, and how to get in once we arrived, but part of that challenge was that I hadn't read the check-in instructions I'd received until I got there, and they basically said "Reach out to your host for check in instructions". But Fre responded to my messages, told me which specific villa it was, and sent someone to help us access the villa. Fresia's assistant/property person, Anna, was extremely helpful with issues and local info/recommendations. The place is very nice; gas stove (had to go outside to turn the propane tank on initially), big fridge, comfy beds, nice sheets and towels, lovely tile floor, very spacious, lots of good stuff about the place. Very peaceful location. I would stay here again.

This place was AMAZING and exceeded our expectations! Adorable little condo, bedrooms very comfortable, and the view of the volcano FROM MY BED… was breathtaking! This is exactly where I will be next time I visit La Fortuna! Thank you!

Very nice, updated, well situated place. Nice and accommodating hosts. Would stay here again.

Absolutely loved our stay here! The balcony is the true highlight—perfect for watching wildlife. We spotted 54 bird species on the property, including the charismatic Three-wattled Bellbird, watched a troop of nine monkeys, and even saw a compost-diving coati—all from the comfort of the balcony. The hosts were fantastic at communicating, and the lodging was clean, comfortable, and exactly as pictured. All the amenities and equipment worked perfectly, and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook our own meals for a week. There’s also a small grocery and bakery conveniently located across the street. The location is excellent—within a 10-minute walk you’ll find Curi Cancha Reserve, Bajo del Tigre, the Monteverde Waterfall, and the Crandall Reserve, which is accessible directly from the property. There is some occasional road noise from motorcycles and milk trucks, but the incredible wildlife and comfort more than make up for it. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a front-row seat

Beautiful and spacious studio with great view and the balcony. Loved the location and the vibe of this place!

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 absolutely loved our stay at Casa Gisela. The property is immaculately cared for with incredible views. The house guidebook was full of excellent recommendations for activities and restaurants. We can’t wait to visit again someday!!

We had an amazing stay here! The location was easy to find and not too far from the airport. There were definitely lots of local stores and restaurants to visit near by. We recommend Resturante Ross! The views especially early morning were amazing overall we have no complaints. Our favorite part was visiting the farm animals! Oscar was so nice and welcoming.

We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property. Having Curi Cancha right next door was amazing. Beautiful landscape and a wonderful home that felt cozy and warm.

The home was exactly as described and offers beautiful views of the lake! The home is close to La Fortuna and all attractions. The layout worked well for our family (older adult child and two teenagers). Nancy is a great host and gave us good suggestions for things to do! We enjoyed our stay in El Castillo/Lake Arenal area and will be back!

Our stay at this Airbnb was absolutely breathtaking! The property was stunning, with every detail thoughtfully designed to create a cozy yet luxurious vibe. We were surrounded by gorgeous nature—lush greenery and serene landscapes that felt like a dream. We were worried the entire trip would be rainy, but to our delight, the skies cleared, giving us an incredible, unobstructed view of the volcano. It was the highlight of our stay! We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect experience and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for beauty and tranquility.

We had a wonderful stay! The home was cozy, spacious, and surrounded by beautiful nature—perfect for anyone looking to relax and unplug. What made it extra special was the horseback tour through the property, where we got to see local wildlife and enjoy fresh juice at the end. Jose and his family were incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home.

The back deck was spectacular and really became part of our trip. We saw lots of birds, including Toucans, and even Agoutis. My only real complaint had nothing to do with the house but rather the road beside it which was busy with motorcycles and other vehicles at night and in the morning.

Where can I start....This is my first time to La Fortuna and we had a great vacation with the help of Gregory. Gregory's is a great host and his property is one of a kind which suits well for La Fortuna environment with lot of nature to enjoy inside his property. He helped in almost everything including recommending a nice Chef Gabriel.

A small, cozy space, but above all very clean and tidy.

Found our stay at the apartment comfortable and enjoyable. The place was spotlessly clean. The bedrooms were spacious and the mattresses comfortable as were the sofas in the living space. It was an ideal location for our base for the week, close to town and restaurants, but also perfect as a sanctuary from some spectacular rain and thunderstorms that would roll in. We never really used the kitchen for cooking but it had all the amenities. The shower had good water pressure and hot water if needed. Our hosts were very friendly and responsive to any questions. If we needed it, fresh towels and sheets were available as was a tidy and clean of the garbage and bathroom from the helpful lady who worked there. We stayed for just over a week and would happily return and recommend to others.

I liked the place. I'll definitely be back.

Fabián was always attentive to any detail. Everything was excellent

Awesome place with beautiful views. Restaurant downstairs has excellent food and drinks.

It is a very nice condominium and fits a family of 5 to 6 people very well equipped and all functional. Very comfortable beds and each room with its own bathroom. We will definitely be back at any time. Thank you for your hospitality.

Room with a balcony overlooking the mountains and the Nivoya peninsula in the distance, breathtaking! The balcony and bedroom are spacious and well maintained! The beds are comfortable! The common room, well-equipped, is welcoming and a harmonious and spiritual atmosphere is present! Upscale and well-maintained swimming pool and hot tub! In Monteverde, the hot bath served, against all expectations, one evening at 15 degrees Celsius!
