The farm has more than 70 years operating. Since the beginning of the 19th century the Quesada family has been in the agriculture & cattle business offering the Central American market premium products with a sustainable vision. This ensures that the land will be passed through generations maintaining the same fertility and quality of its beginnings.
The ranch villa was always the main family house for the Quesada family.

The Villa has been upgraded and modernized in the last years so to keep the feeling of an outdoor farm house that with all the features that a city house has to make sure you can continue your day to day with the slight difference of being in a privileged location. Newest addition: YOGA DECK!
Plants In The gardens have been meticulously selected to have the perfect combination between an ornamental and an edible organic garden surrounded by fruit trees.

We welcome you to relax & enjoy our rich gardens of native plants & flowers that draw an incomparable landscape!

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!

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.

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!

Fantastic Property

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.

Amazing experience. Would love to come back.

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.

We loved this place!

We had the best time at the villa. Yadi cooked the most amazing meals, Joaquin took some of our group on a tour of the grounds but on top of that he always seemed to appear right when we needed something, anticipating our every thought. We truly have no complaints, this was the perfect location and experience for our group of 8 adults.
