About this property
Serenity Home. Amazing house with Gorgeous panoramic views and Swimming pool.
The Serenity House was built on 2 acres in the heart of the Rainforest, very privately situated far from the noise of the city but close to some of the best attractions and restaurants El Castillo has to offer. The gorgeous infinity edge swimming pool is filled with fresh spring water, and is perfect to refresh while you listen to the Howlers Monkeys, watch the Toucans, Hummingbirds and 20 other species of birds that surround the house. At Serenity create memories that you will treasure forever.
*Please note, what in the photos looks like a Jacuzzi is not actually a heated, is a water feature that overflows into the swimming pool creating a cascade effect. However, the whole pool is in a system that recirculates the water through solar panels installed in the roof of the house to warm up the water a bit.
The house is big and spacious with beautiful decors from local artists and unique indigenous statues located around the property.
The combination of really high ceilings and the location on the edge of a hill with constant breeze makes for no need of Air Conditioning in the house. Plus all of the rooms have ceiling fans and the sliding doors & windows are equipped with screens so you can perfectly leave them open to let the breeze in without worrying about the insects coming in the house. All 3 bedrooms have private bathrooms to give your group the privacy they want.
In our fully equipped kitchen, you can delight your family with a energizing breakfast to begin the day or with a delicious dinner to close a memorable day of exploring the rain forest. After dinner sit around and share memories in our comfortable living room with all reclinable leather couches and sofas.
- THINGS TO DO: There are lots of tours to keep you entertained for days, Volcano hikes, Zip Lines, Hanging Bridges, ATV tours, Kayak and Paddle-board tours, Rainforest and Waterfall hikes, Horseback riding, Hot Springs, Wildlife watching tours and more. All of these are less than half an hour away from the house.
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.
-LOCATION: El Castillo is approx. 3 hours (150km) from both international airports, either in the capital of San Jose, or on the northern pacific coast in Liberia. La Fortuna, which is a small city that offers amenities such as grocery, banking, post office, restaurants, hot springs, excursions and much more, is only 30 minutes away.
- 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.
