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.

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".

The house was perfect. Not over the top fancy but has everything you could need. Full bathroom in every bedroom and a well appointed kitchen. The outside area was awesome. Great pool. Unobstructed view of the volcano and a short walk to everything. Great find. We would stay there again.

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.

Wonderful work lace in La Fortuna
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.

Our family of 11 loved staying at Villa Maria! Eder and his staff were so helpful in every aspect. Our flights were delayed and made us late checking in. Eder waited for us and led us directly to Villa Maria. It was clean, very well furnished, comfortable beds, great outdoor living area, etc. Great view of volcano! Location was easy and accessible to La Fortuna attractions. Definitely recommend!

Beautiful, modern stay
The house was absolutely stunning with all of the amenities you could possibly need! Perfect location just outside of the hustle and bustle of town but within 2-3 driving distance to go over for a quick meal or coffee. Beds were so comfortable and each room has its own air conditioning, although the common areas were without air we were still very comfortable. Check in was a breeze and the host graciously waited for us after our flight was delayed and we showed up after hours. My favorite part was the hammocks hanging on the porch with a gorgeous view of the mountain. Totally recommend!

Had a terrific stay in this brand new spotlessly clean casa. Perfect jumping off spot for all activities La Fortuna. Eder and team were responsive to all our requests and made everything easy including booking tours through them. You stay inside a gated complex with only the owner next door so we never locked our doors or used keys to get in and out. Super safe. Thx again for allowing us to share your beautiful house!! And the unobstructed view of Arenal Volcano out the front door was mesmerizing. What a gem!
