"The house was beyond our expectations! Everything was wonderful, and we were very happy with our stay. The property was beautiful, comfortable and exactly what we needed. We truly enjoyed our time there and would definitely recommend it to others. We would love to stay there again. Every morning, we were amazed to see so many different kinds of birds and animals right around of the property. The wildlife was truly especial, and the view of the volcano was absolutely breathtaking- more beautiful than any picture could ever capture.

5 BR Rainforest Retreat 5 Minutes from Town!

10/10 Excellent

"We could not be happier with our stay at Casa Armonia! The house is incredibly spacious and as well equipped as any rental I have ever stayed in. We saw monkeys almost every day from the backyard, and walked a minute down the road to a night tour, where we saw a sloth, snakes, frogs, and more! The rooms are massive and the beds very comfortable. We travelled with our grandchildren, and the trampoline and swing set in the backyard kept them busy! The hot tub was icing on the cake for colder or rainy nights, where we could relax while watching spider monkeys jump from tree to tree.The hosts were friendly, quick to reply, and made great recommendations on what to do and where to eat. La Fortuna has become one of our favorite vacation destinations, and it all started with Casa Armonia! Thank you Silvia for hosting us, and we will absolutely be back!"

10/10 Excellent

"The location is extraordinary - El Castillo is c. 40 min from La Fortuna. Although it rained consistently, the views were stunning when the weather cleared. We enjoyed local restaurants and exploring the area from a more relaxed setting. We were not able to connect with the on-site concierge, so we are not able to comment. Comments in the guest book affirmed her helpfulness. The property was spacious and well-appointed. We found it good value for money."
