Location: Birdsong Villa is only 3 hours (150km) from two international airports, either in the capital of San Jose, or on the northern pacific coast in Liberia. Birdsong Villa is just 30 minutes from La Fortuna, which offers amenities such as grocery, banking, post office, restaurants, hot springs, excursions and much more.

Amenities: The villa offers luxury and elegance with the comforts of home, including satellite TV and high speed wifi internet.
As you sit out on the observation deck and the sunshine warms your skin, close your eyes and listen to the melody of the birds and howler monkeys, all set against the rushing waters of the Piedras Negras river and nearby waterfalls.

Things to do: Experience the ultimate Costa Rican holiday with some of our recommended day trips. The Arenal area has it all, from zip-lining, horse riding, hot springs, butterfly conservatory, kayaking and paddle boarding, fishing, hiking, birding, and more. Everything you could ask for is less than an hour away so you will spend more time enjoying your holiday and less time driving. Our concierge is always available at our new and modern Welcome Center to help you book tours, find the best restaurants, book a massage and get the most out of your time in the area.

GETTING AROUND: You will want a 4WD vehicle. The last drive up to the house is a road made of gravel and rocks. When it rains there are potholes. You will be a lot happier with a 4WD here and in most areas of Costa Rica. While there are a couple of things to see and one restaurant 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 of going.

Hands down our favorite place we stayed in Costa Rica

This property was perfect in every way! We loved everything right down to the shower inside the villa. The only complaint I have is the bathtub didn’t fill or at least if we did try it would have been cold by the time it filled bc of the water pressure. The outdoor shower only had lukewarm water as well and wouldn’t stay hot, if it was on hot it trickled out. Other than that we will def be back, absolutely loved our stay

This was a beautiful place with some issues. The good: beautiful home, nicely appointed, great views of the lake and Arenal Volcano (when the clouds cleared). A lot of insects, but expected in a jungle habitat. Secluded and intimate, a great place to go if you want to get away for a couple of days with a loved one to reconnect. The bad: there are two rooms, separated by a long stairway outside the building. There is no internal way to get from upstairs to downstairs, and if it is raining it is more of an issue. In the main section (upstairs) the shower, the bathroom, and the "hot tub" which is an indoor jacuzzi bathtub is inside in the corner of the unit across from the bed. Great if you are there with just a couple, if you have kids, or other guests, there is no privacy. Also, it says that this sleeps 8, but that is a stretch, and 8 would be very crowded. Also, the road up to the home is steep and rutted, and while the information suggests needing a 4 wheel drive to get up the road, it is not stated on the information prior to booking. you really do need that, as even with a 4WD vehicle, it was occasionally difficult. Also, the initial search showed this as a "La Fortuna" property, and it turns out after booking that it is actually in El Castill0, a 40 minute drive around the base of the volcano. i would still rent it again, however not with a family, unless i could use the upstairs alone and enjoy the privacy to ourselves.

A Gem in the Rainforest

This place was absolutely incredible to stay at. The home is beautiful, and the grounds are stunning. The groundskeeper, Pio, showed us around and brought us some fruit off of the property. He made us feel welcome, and while he only speaks Spanish, we had a fun time conversing with him. We highly recommend Birdsong!

Amazing views

I've stayed at high end resorts and niche rental properties all over the western hemisphere. The views here were unlike anything I've ever seen. They were absolutely amazing. You will need a decent high clearance vehicle to get here. The road is dirt and rock. There are large potholes and washed out areas. I'm not sure 4x4 is necessary but you will probably do some damage to a sedan. There are a couple of local markets within 10 minutes that stock most things you might need. The gardener was very nice and provided a tour of the property. He only speaks Spanish (which is part of the fun). He brought us fruits and coffee that was grown on the property. It was a very unique experience. We will be back.
