Ranch Villa Arenal - Your peaceful oasis in Arenal

Everything about this property was absolutely wonderful, and perfect for our group of 4 adults! The photos do not do the property justice. The grounds, the outdoor living and dining areas, the pool, hot tub and meticulously kept property created a magical setting for us to come back to after days of exploring beautiful La Fortuna. More than all of this, the people who made the property all that it is are simply the epitome of “Pura Vida”. We highly recommend Rancho Villa Arenal! Simply the best!

Yes, the pool seat was comfortable and the kitchen had what we needed to cook with

Host was amazing. Amenities were good. House is beautiful.

My goodness- where to start. This is a magical place. So much so we changed out plans and extended our stay by a night. It made it hard to leave to see the sites in the area. The house is lovely cared for, the beds are very comfortable and outdoor living spacings and pool/spa are perfect and the grounds are stunning. Yadi cooked most breakfasts and dinners for our large family which allowed more time for us to connect and enjoy as family. We hope to find a reason to return. Do not hesitate to book.

Beautiful expansive home and grounds with a great relaxing backyard / pool area. Great tour around property with Juaquin - saw toucans and drank from fresh coconuts.Great home for our family get-together.

WONDERFUL property! Large home with tons of privacy. We had a group of 7 adult family members and there was room for more! Great amenities, welcoming staff, yard was FULL of fruit trees and flowers! We had Armita BBQ a dinner for us and it was fantastic! We were treated to a garden tour by Joaquin and he cut down fresh coconuts and served them to us with a straw! It was MAGICAL!

Very peaceful and beautiful. All the staff was great! Jordy was extremely helpful in setting up our excursions. You must have meals prepared by Yadi and Estella. Joaquin the grounds keeper was so sweet bringing us fresh coconut water and fruit off the property trees. Would definitely stay here again.

Absolutely beautiful property. Close enough to the small take of El Tanque to walk over to the grocery/fruit/meat markets, but large enough and secluded enough to feel like you're truly in the jungle. Staff was always ready to help, especially the gardener who was very friendly. Highly recommend you take him up on his small tour of the property (some small amount of Spanish fluency will be helpful here). Saw tons of birds, lizards, etc on the property. Pool and hot tub were delightful after a full day of activities in the surrounding areas.Overall we had a great stay and loved the property. Highly recomend.

We loved our stay at Ranch Arenal. The house and the grounds were modern and incredibly well kept. Our hosts were wonderful. Very kind and good communicators. We wished we could’ve stayed longer.

This villa is absolutely amazing. The outside patio and pool area is so large and beautifully done. Super fun to walk around the property and see the different plants and wildlife.The inside stays nice and cool. It was extremely comfortable and welcoming.Our added on dinner was fantastic! The food was crazy tasty and very affordable. The cleaning and gardening staff was suberb.Thank you so much for making our stay so enjoyable. We can't wait to come back.

Great place to start a two week family vacation in Costa Rica House was nice and the staff took good care of us

Amazing house, more space than we could even use, the host team was great, and the home cooked dinners and breakfasts (arranged with Yadi, the amazing woman who lives in a separate home on the property) were the best food we had in CR. The place was spotless, perfect, and a very easy ten minute drive to everything in Fortuna. Loves it.

This property will blow your mind. The grounds are impeccable and would match any expensive botanical garden. There's a gorgeous yoga studio & gazeboamongst the garden. Picture perfect pool area with a hot and very large hot tub! The outdoor living space was huge and where we ate our meals, had coffee, and listened to all the jungle noises when it rained. Rooms were comfortable, house was giant and plenty of room to spread out! Jordy was SO helpful for the weeks passing up to our trip. His excursion recommendations were perfect and we were thankful to have a local person arranging the transportation and the tours so that we didn't have to. There's a few restaurants, local shops and grocery within walking distance. Everyone we meet were so nice. If we ever get to come back to Vista Rica we will DEFINITELY come back here!! Believe me-- you won't be disappointed!!

This was an amazing place to stay in La Fortuna. The house and grounds were beautiful. It was an oasis.

This place was remarkable. We absolutely loved it.

Loved this place! We ordered dinner two of the night with the staff and it was excellent. Great place to stay!

The home is absolutely gorgeous and the entire property is perfect! Our family aging from 8-70 years old enjoyed staying on site, taking excursions, walking to town and definitely loved the meals prepared by Yadira. It was a trip of a lifetime! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!

Ranch Villa is paradise!!The photos do not do it justice!The excellent staff are friendly and very accommodating.Joaquin took some of us on a farm and property tour. It was very fun. His horticulture knowledge is outstanding. We had Yadira and her co worker prepare 2 meals for us. The food is amazing. We are all sad to leave this beautiful place.There were 11 of us staying and all had more than enough space. We took advantage of the pool and hot tub as much as we could.

We had the most amazing stay at this property in Arenal! The grounds are absolutely stunning – lush and well-maintained, creating a peaceful and beautiful environment for relaxation. The pool is gorgeous, and the outdoor living spaces (including a dining area and cozy living room) made it easy to enjoy the perfect Costa Rican weather. The jacuzzi was a highlight, especially after a full day of exploring Arenal and La Fortuna. It was the ideal way to unwind and relax under the stars.The hosts were incredibly responsive to all our needs. Yadi prepared delicious meals for us, and we were able to pre-purchase groceries, so everything was ready and waiting when we arrived. We felt truly taken care of.A special shout-out to Juanquin, who gave us a personal tour of the grounds. He showed us all the fruits growing on the property and even cut down coconuts straight from the tree for us to taste the freshest coconut water we’ve ever had!One of the highlights of our stay was the beautiful pavilion in the garden. We used it for a little yoga and zen time mid-week, which added an extra layer of tranquility to our vacation.Overall, this place offers the perfect blend of adventure and relaxation, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend to anyone looking to explore the Arenal/La Fortuna area while enjoying an incredibly peaceful and unique stay.

The house, property and staff were great. Amazing house with plenty of room for the family (6 people). Everyone loved the pool, hot tub, outside area and short walk to El Tanque's downtown. Downtown had a couple of grocery stores, bakeries and restaurant. Plus a short drive to La Fortuna.

The property and staff were great. Alway willing to go above and beyond.

We had a great time at Ranch Villa Arenal. The grounds are absolutely stunning and well taken care of. The house is lovely, though rustic and has no air conditioning in the common areas (just in bedrooms) and screens are only on some of the windows (so there were more bugs than we’re used to). The home is rich in history and has a very “Costa Rica authentic feel.” The master bedroom was recently renovated and charming. The home is centrally located for many activities but while it is set back from the street and generally quiet, there was a concert / party one night we were there at a school across the street that was quite loud until around 10:30 PM. The hosts were very attentive to our needs and came daily to clean inside and take care of the grounds. Very gracious and kind.

The house and grounds were beautiful and so well kept. The backyard and pool area was the perfect spot to hang out after a long day of adventure. We had one meal prepared by Yadi which was delicious! Another plus of the villa were restaurants and grocery stores well within walking distance. Will absolutely consider Rancho Villa Arenal for future visits.

Cannot say enough about this beautiful oasis. My family of five adults and four children (2, 5, 8, and 9) stayed at this beautiful villa for a week. We truly enjoyed our stay. There was plenty of room for all of us and it had a pool, hot tub, a porch with a great view, gorgeous grounds, and playground for the children. The check in and check out processes were easy. The villa was located close to activities we chose to do. The host Jorge, concierge Jordy, the groundskeeper Joaquin, and housekeeper/cook Yadi were all awesome. They were responsive and helpful. Joaquin was there every day to keep the grounds and pool beautiful, and to take care of anything we needed. He took us on a wonderful tour of the grounds. Yadi and another staff member kept the villa clean and cooked (including cleanup) delicious meals for us (breakfast and dinners/Costa Rican). It was nice having the option to have meals during our stay especially when we arrived and after long days. The prices were reasonable. We highly recommend this villa.
