Volare-Awaken Above The Clouds: 3 Bedroom, Privacy. Costa Rica REAL Adventures!

Volare is like a treehouse on the top of the mountain overlooking Turrialba. The view is spectacular and the home comfortable and well maintained. It is in a good location for rafting the Pacuare, about an hour drive. Tucker was a tremendous help in making all the arrangements for our trip, from airport arrival to reaervations for activities. Franklin and Yami, who take care of Volare, provide for all your needs from transportation to meals to laundry, if you would like to pay extra for these conveniences. They are both lovely people, very helpful and completly trusrworthy. We are a family of 5. My husband and I have 3 sons, ages 17,19 and 21. We came here to raft the Pacaure and it was absolutely fantastic. If you like white water rafting, you can not beat it. We loved our stay and would highly recommend Volare.

Up in the clouds, overlooking the city lights is this modern yet cozy home. Amazing bird watching and even a sloth in the trees. We lit a fire in the fireplace each evening and played games. Relaxed with a book and coffee in the mornings. Enjoyed cooking each morning and evening. Visited Guayabo Park and Golden Bean coffee plantation.

This house is spectacular in everyway. The service before you arrive from Tucker is 5 star hotel level and when you arrive the service continues. The house itself is better than the pictures (and the pictures are amazing) if you want a millionaires lifestyle experience then book this house.

Volare is truly a magical place. It is the most unique house I've ever been in. Our family of 6 (with 4 teens) stayed for 2 nights in June. My family doesn't get involved in trip planning, leaving it to me. So, they didn't see any pictures of Volare ahead of time. When we pulled onto the driveway leading to Volare, my oldest son asked it the first house on the drive was where we were staying. I told him no. As we drove farther along and Volare came into view, I said, "There it is". In awe, my son said, "We are staying in THAT house?". High praise from a jaded older teen!

We were there such a short time. I could have spent days just sitting on the deck watching the changing view. There is so much charm and little artistic details throughout, it feels like you are staying in a piece of art work. We enjoyed the comfortable beds (enough for family of 6), the strong WiFi (much appreciated with teens) and the hot tub not only with a view but with a hanging bridge (how cool is that)!

Tucker was very helpful answering questions and helping arrange tours. We did a canyoning tour and whitewater rafting on the Pacuare (our main reason for staying in this area). Both were a lot of fun, but the rafting was our favorite activity of the trip. We also loved the climate in this area - comfortably warm but not too hot. But, the best part of our stay in the area was the magical Volare - a destination in itself!

This place is incredible! The house is meticulously maintained and the view of the valley below is breath taking. Every morning the local birds would put on a show. It is worth getting up at 6:30 to see it even if you go back to bed afterwards . We saw toucans, Montezuma birds, flocks of parakeets and many others from the deck every morning.

There is a couple, Yami and Franklin, that live on the property in another house that are wonderful. Franklin even accompanied our family on a day trip to a nearby waterfall (The one in the picture.) He brought along a machete (I'm assuming for snakes because the trail was well maintained) and a rescue rope in case one of my daughters (7 and 10 years old) got themselves into trouble.

We went to see the ruins in Ujarras and while the ruins were OK, the drive out was one of the most beautiful drives I've ever taken in my life. We accidentally took the long way around Lago Alto and the road wound through the mountain valleys where they grow coffee. It was spectacular. It was one of the best navigational errors I've ever made.

The hot tub is beyond words, we were in it every night. The temperature in the house was perfect day and night largely due to it's design. Air flows through the house very well and some of the walls do not join the ceiling in every room. The only draw back is that sound communicates through out the house as easily as the air does. We could hear everything our daughters said in the room down the hall and vice versa, so any romance would require discretion.
