- The large kitchen with fine wood cabinets, granite counter tops and all the appliances is perfect to cook tasty meals for large parties.
- For your enjoyment the spring fed pool and jacuzzi are just steps away from the house, and so is the BBQ Ranch with Propane Grill, tables and chairs.

- THINGS TO DO: There are lots of tours to keep you entertained for days, Volcano hikes, Zip Lines, Hanging Bridges, ATV tours, Kayak and Paddle-board tours, Rainforest and Waterfall hikes, Horseback riding, Hot Springs, Wildlife watching tours and more.

- GETTING AROUND: You will want your own Rental Car. While there are a few things to see and a couple of restaurants within walking distance of the house, there are many activities that require a 10 to 45 minute drive. You will not be happy waiting for a cab to arrive either coming or going.

The property was exquisite. 360 of incredible views. We enjoyed using the hot tub and extensive balcony at night overlooking the volcano and the covered outdoor spaces in the morning enjoying our coffee and nature. We liked that it was far enough away from the busy town of La Fortuna to get the peace, tranquility, and breathtaking wildlife while also being close enough to the Hot Springs, attractions, etc. The home itself was practical for us as we had seven people: two couples and three young adults. Everyone had their own room and bathroom, which was a plus. Definitely recommend!

We just completed our trip to Pie in the Sky Villa and couldn't be more pleased! We had a group of 10 and spent four days in the La Fortuna area. This house is located on the south side of Lake Arenal and has amazing views at every direction. It's a 30 minute drive into the town of La Fortuna but most good activities are not there anyway. We highly recommend Sky adventures for zip lining less than 10 minutes away. The house is very removed but that's what we wanted. It feels like you're out overlooking the jungle. It has a few really good restaurants very close so you don't need to go into la Fortuna . It also has a small market down the road. The house itself is well equipped, clean, and has all the amenities including a cool pool and hot tub with outrageous views. The owners are extremely nice people as well and were very helpful. It is about 2.5 hours from Taramindo with a beautiful drive around the north side of lake Arenal. Try to drive in during the day for best views and less stress. It's a windy curvy road, but in nice condition. We couldn't recommend it more!

2nd Stay @ Pie In the Sky

We stayed here in 2019 as well. Incredible views of Lake Arenal, volcano and jungle with howler monkeys and beautiful birds. We love the Eagle's Nest for a morning coffee and just to enjoy the view. 30 minutes from La Fortuna and 5 minutes from 3 nice restaurants and markets. Will go back again in the future.

Amazing stay!

We had two families and this was the perfect location for our stay near Arenal. The house has a beautiful view of the volcano with an amazing breeze on the porch. You are a 30 mins drive from all the craziness in La Fortuna but have several good restaurants 5-10 mins away in El Castillo. We will definitely be back!

Awesome location, and views

This property is absolutely amazing. Awesome views of the volcano and lake and the landscape surrounding. It is absolutely beautiful. It sits high on a hill without any close neighbors. The area is super as well. Close to restaurants and all the excursions and hot Springs, etc. Some items did not work, however or needed repair. We found plumbing leaks. The safes didn’t work the grill needed repair and it could use a washer and dryer. But otherwise we had a wonderful day.

Gorgeous estate near Lake Arenal

A wonderful property near El Castillo. Checkin was great. Agustin is the property manager. He took care of little issues with the property AND gave us great advice for activities. The raised gazebo with a fantastic view of the lake was special. The only issue for us is that it's 30 minutes from La Fortuna - where most of the activities in the area are based.

Amazing Arenal Views

What a unique and fun property! Our family of 12 had a fantastic time at El Fosforo. Home was spacious, liked that each bedroom had their own bath. Patio views are amazing, the Bird's Nest was a huge plus for my bird nerd brother-in-law, kids loved the pool and Jacuzzi was a favorite of the adults. 15-30 min distance to various activities and our concierge, Agustin was super helpful with scheduling actives and dinner reservations. Perfect for nature lovers and adventures both!

Mosca Family Costa Rica Trip

I took my family of 13 including 4 grandchildren to Costa Rica for 10 days. We stayed at the Pie in The Sky Villas for the first 5 nights and were not disappointed. The house and grounds were amazing and the views even better. We were fortunate to meet the owner, Ronald Peterson, after a few minutes he became one of my family. You could not ask for a better host. The location is perfect for any activities you want around the Arenal Volcano. 5 bedrooms & 5 baths, more than enough room for all. Th swimming pool was like something in a movie especially with the views.

Group of 13. We rented all 3 homes. Fantastic views in all of el Castillo. Would definitely stay here again! Two places to eat in walking distance.. Agustus the property manager was fantastic, prompt, and super helpful. We had a chef one night (Fermin) - glad we had them come after a long day of hiking. Kids loved the pool and the hot tub. The grounds were INSANE. So much to do in this area - you won’t be disappointed Booking Pie in the Sky

A gem of a house with the best views

My family of 5 loved this home in the jungle. The kitchen was well stocked, the pool and hot tub were perfect, the beds were comfortable and each bedroom has it’s own air conditioning unit. The driveway is steep but manageable even during rainy season. The grounds are gorgeous and the lake/volcano/rainforest views are to die for. The treehouse is super cute, too. Coffee on the porch outside the bedrooms was the best! There is a little market for some provisions and snacks. There are plenty of restaurants in the area as well. We highly recommend La Ventanita. We also went white water rafting and zip lining during our stay in the mountains. Will definitely stay here when in Costa Rica!

Spectacular View

Our stay at pie in the sky was absolutely wonderful. The view from the property was amazing and made our family feel at home in Costa Rica. The house was well maintained and had ample space for our family to spread out. The separate bedroom was a nice space as well although the stairs down to the bathroom were tricky at night. The kitchen and dining table were exactly what our party needed, especially for the holidays and our large group. Our party enjoyed using both the pool and hot tub as well as the grill area. The location is a bit far from La Fortuna area but that is what our group wanted. There were plenty of places to eat around the house. The road up to the house was a bit steep but expected given the view you get and the road was well paved. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would absolutely come again.
