The House: Spectacular—pictures don't do it justice. Beautiful, clean, and well-appointed with quality toiletries (really no need to bring your own!) and plenty of towels. No big TV room, which we loved—kids weren't drawn to screens. They do have TVs in all the bedrooms, if that is your thing. Instead, we read, hammocked, and played games on the covered terrace, the heart of the house. Lots of games and puzzles provided. Minor hot tub issue (not getting hot) was addressed immediately and did not impact our stay.The Grounds: Sprawling and breathtaking. A working farm, yet completely private. We spent two full days poolside, soaking in the magnificence. The gardener gave us a property tour (used a translator app). He went out of his way to point out the sloth that seems to live on the property. He prepared coconuts, plantains, yucca, breadfruit, and fresh cheese seeing our interest—an unforgettable light dinner for our group of 10 highlighting local produce.El Tanque: Ten minutes from La Fortuna and away from the bustle. Walking distance to a bakery, grocery, butcher and great restaurants—Victorino's and Annia's Empanadería are musts! Casatica (pizza) was terrific if you can uber/have a rental, close but no sidewalk to get there.La Fortuna Activities: We had big plans but ditched most to stay at the house. The Springs Resort and Mistico Hanging Bridges were worth it, but honestly, the house was the highlight.Bottom Line: Don't hesitate—book it. You won't regret it.
