Jun 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Villa in Paradise Perched atop a hill, overlooking Lake Arenal and a lush valley, this estate was exactly what we were looking for. It is large enough to accommodate your party of up to 20 people, although we enjoyed having the entire place to our family of four to explore. The ornate details throughout the home remind you that this is authentic Latin American architecture. The pool house is nice and includes a deep pool, jacuzzi, weights, and table games. The property is expensive and you can take a nice hike around the perimeter, surrounded by jungle of course. Lastly, Patrick is awesome and arranged all of the excursions during our stay. The included breakfast is fantastic. I'll definitely stay again. ##### Cameron G. Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa L.

We all enjoyed the house, the area, views from the patio and especially the breakfasts! Sitting on the patio in the mornings with a cup of coffee while enjoying the view and peaceful quiet was sublime. ##### Lisa L. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marci K.

From first choosing this beautiful home to driving up it was wonderful. Patrick met us at the door full of information and support of us enjoying Costa Rica. Being in the mountains was a treat. There was plenty to do at the house to keep us in fun mode, no matter the weather. ##### Don D. Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### reba b.

Everyone from Patrick, his wife, the housekeeper made us feel welcome. The drivers were like family by the end of the day, Miguel and Luis are the best! Patrick was a great help suggesting and helping plan our tours. All you have to do is sit back and enjoy yourself. ##### reba b. Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gillian G.

The house was comfortable and the breakfasts varied and delightful. AC was nice but the mountain breezes cooled things off nicely too. Pool and hot tub were amazing!

The property and house are beautiful, a wonderful oasis to relax in the rainforest. The daily fresh cooked breakfast was the perfect start and exceeded our expectations. Miguel, such a great guy and driver helped us get to any adventure we wanted and made sure everything went smooth. Patrick is a great chef and we had the best tres leche cake for dessert. We highly recommend this home and would not hesitate to book again. ##### Matt H. Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Darryl P.

Ample room for everyone with the library/entertainment area, the dining room, deck, covered swimming pool and hot tub and every room with its own bathroom. Patrick couldn't have been more helpful. It was like having your own Concierge. Very helpful coming up with activities and and recommendations. The staff were friendly and took care of everything. The breakfasts delicious and large. It all worked flawlessly. ##### Darryl P. Stayed 8 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elorie M.

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! ##### Elorie M.

Apr 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A Nice Place to Stay The house was great for our needs. You can fit in a lot of people and it is a clean house. Breakfast (which is included) was excellent. Patrick made our dinner one night and it was also very good. He also knows all the excursions and sights to see and tells you about them and sets everything up for you. Hunter was a big help and very nice to talk to. The only downside was the fact that it rained a lot and was very windy--but you are in the rainforest. As soon as you travel away from the house to go to an excursion the weather clears up! There are quite a few restaurants in the area and we enjoyed them immensely.Thank you Patrick and family for a great time! ##### Allison S.
