Being in this beautiful rainforest villa in La Fortuna is like staying in a threshold between the familiar and wondrous, one built for the traveler who desires both immersion and retreat. This villa nestles within its natural frame in almost a sacred manner, only six minutes' drive from the busy heart of La Fortuna-one that instantly can make you feel the world at its most primal and pure. Here, we are embraced by natural beauty, the sounds and vision of Costa Rica, yet given the quiet luxury of privacy.
This villa is a true philosophy of openness. Four inviting bedrooms each have their own private bathroom-an indulgence in comfort and solitude felt rarely in such intimate spaces. Perhaps the most evocative offering of the villa, sticking to its 'al fresco' concept, would be an outdoor shower option. Bathing here is the reimagining of a simple, ritualistic part of one's life. Water becomes almost reverent in this sequestered corner of the world, connecting to the surrounding river, the environment folding into our stay.
The crystalline pool is ever in flow, adding to the atmosphere of serenity. It feels like a timeless presence, always close. In its silent, crystal-clear water, the sky and greenery meet, grounding and liberating all at once. One can wade and splash without restriction from confined spaces. With each passing day, the rainforest and its music-the burbling, soothing sounds-gently layer onto memory.
