Great vacation home with great amenities. We had a wonderful time while we were there, enjoying the great sights, wildlife, activities, and food in the area. Great communication with the owners and property manager for any questions we had.
We arrived to breathtaking views of Lake Arenal and the volcano. Over the next couple of days we savored delicious varied breakfasts and a German cuisine inspired dinner that was prepared and customized to accommodate our dietary restrictions. All of us enjoyed visiting the hot tub daily. The library was well utilized during our stay. So many genres of books for our varied interests! We strolled through the gardens, admiring the many tropical plants and flowers and even saw toucans both mornings. The kitchen is very well equipped, and the beds were comfortable. This is an amazing, large yet cozy property with hosts that make us feel that this is our home away from home! We can’t wait to return!
The house was a perfect place for my family to spend some time, relaxing and enjoying all the wonderful nature available in Rio Celeste. Rick provided everything that we could need and we felt so well taken care of. I highly recommend. this house if you are looking for a beautiful house and wonderful location to spend some time enjoying nature and unwinding.
This lovely casita was exactly what we anticipated. It is well designed for guest privacy and captures lovely breezes to cool the building for sleeping. After a few weeks of very warm weather, this location was very refreshing. We cooked most of our evening meals in the kitchenette, which was well equipped and easy to work in. The owners took great care in keeping their friendly dogs away but we love dogs so had no issues with the occasional canine visitor. We would definitely recommend this property.
Gorgeous property with beautiful walking trails and lots of wildlife. The hosts are very friendly and accommodating. Went above and beyond. The house is well equipped and exactly what we were looking for. Bijagua is a quaint little town with friendly people. Car rental would be recommended. Overall an incredible experience. Highly recommend if you want a genuine experience.
Could not have asked for a better place/host for our very time in Costa Rica! Glen was hands on making sure our stay was everything and more! We would highly recommended Villa Encantada!
Our group of 2 families enjoyed the stay here. We had everything we needed. The location is beautiful, but very windy. The scenery was the highlight for adults. Kids loved the mini golf and the upstairs loft (beware of the steep steps). It is about an hour drive to the volcano. Lots to see and do within an hour drive in all directions. There is nice food close by
We had such an amazing stay at this property. Our jaws dropped when we first walked in as the view is breathtaking. We felt very welcomed and taken care of by the staff and looked forward to coming back to our villa each day after we adventured. It was great proximity to all of the activities we did and enjoyed the scenery. I would suggest a vehicle with 4x4 to get into the property as some of the roads were rough, but it added to the fun! We would absolutely stay here again and looking forward to coming back in the future. Thanks so much for hosting us!
