Great view from the back patio. The host was available and helpful. ##### Sean R. Séjour de 4 nuits en juin 2025 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Kevin C., West Kelowna Canada 10 déc. 2024 Points forts : Propreté #### Trip to Costa Rica There was lots to do within walking distance of the home, otherwise it was a short drive, the butterfly sanctuary was very good and the motorcycle restaurant basically next door was very good as well ##### Kevin C. Séjour de 3 nuits en décembre 2024 ### 6/10 – Acceptable #### Rasi W., Houston, Texas 8 déc. 2024 #### Beautiful location but a very dated property In contrast to most of the other opinions here, we had a very different experience. To begin with the check-in process was very quick and efficient. The property manager is just down the road, and he’s very attentive. Unfortunately, the condition and state of the properties a whole different story. The house is very dated, extremely rundown, and in serious need of a facelift. When we arrived, all the furniture was covered with dusty blankets which the property manager promptly removed. However, although the bedsheets were clean, the furniture was very dusty. The bathroom is partially exposed to the living room with the washbasin in the living room itself, and the toilet and shower in two separate cubicles. The toilet and shower cubicles were cramped and moldy smelling. The floors were quite dirty and the beds were creaking with every movement. I would also note, that the beautiful balcony that you see in the photographs is not attached to the house, but a separate gazebo built outside of the house. We did have some beautiful views from there. Overall, based on the quality of the property, this was not worth the money. I feel strongly that the owner should probably put some time and effort into renovating the property from its current state, and the value proposition would be much better. We regularly stay in VRBOs during our vacations and are generally a good judge of quality but we left feeling that with Casa Mirador we really missed the mark. ##### Rasi W. Séjour de 3 nuits en novembre 2024 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Charles C. 6 déc. 2024 Points forts : Propreté #### Great place to visit the region Lovely place in a quiet bedroom village about 15 minutes from Fortuna. We preferred that because Fortuna is a crowded mess. The house itself is lovely and spacious. Great views if it's not raining. Also, Agustin was easily available a d quite helpful. ##### Charles C. Séjour de 3 nuits en décembre 2024 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Tara P. 17 juin 2024 Points forts : Propreté #### The View! We enjoyed a short stay at this home. Its in the perfect location for rural experience of Costa Rica, but close enough to jump over to La Fortunas tourist trap. We watched the parrots (yellow naped and toucans) play and eat every morning with the volcano backdrop. We also got to see a pizote on our ride into La Fortuna. The Butterfly Conservatory is magical and within walking distance. We had a great and inexpensive meal at Ventamita Cafe as we enjoyed the view. We went to La Fortuna for horseback riding (Don Tobias), hot springs (Los Lagos) and of course, the waterfall. Dont miss out on the shampoo ginger growing all over in El Castillo. It's super fun for the kids, its a natural shampoo plant that you can squeeze and put into your hair. ##### Tara P. Séjour de 2 nuits en juin 2024 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Alison R. 11 mars 2024 Points forts : Propreté #### Amazing views We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Castillo. The terrace had an amazing view of Arenal volcano, and we saw so many birds in the backyard. It was amazing to have coffee in morning and watch clouds roll through valley and listen to birdsong. The location is convenient for getting to Fortuna and nearby parks for hiking, but Castillo feels much more quaint and quiet for enjoying peaceful evenings. We cooked in kitchen and had everything we needed to prepare meals. We also loved Ventanita restaurant up the hill from this location. ##### Alison R. Séjour de 4 nuits en mars 2024 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Dustin S. 18 févr. 2024 Points forts : Propreté #### El Castillo Wonderful home with a great view of volcano. Close to amenities, dining, activities. Locals are super nice. ##### Dustin S. Séjour de 2 nuits en février 2024 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Jared H. 14 févr. 2024 Points forts : Propreté #### Beautiful old Costa Rica If you are looking for an escape to old Costa Rica with an amazing viewing platform of Arenal volcano, this is your spot. The village of El Castillo is quaint and 2 great restaurants are walking distance from the property. Augustin was great to work with, but Vrbo has a weird quirk that doesn't give you a confirmation of your reservation. Check directly with Augustin the manager of the property. ##### Jared H.

Séjour de 6 nuits en décembre 2023 ### 4/10 – Médiocre #### Jeff I. 21 janv. 2024 #### Great view, substandard house No hot water. Lumpy sorry excuse for a couch, rooster next door starts at 3:30 and goes to 6:30\. Guide book leaves of great special places uphill. Guidebook is out of date with prices and has no contact info for recommendations. No laundry detergent. Why make us by new package whe we want to do one ore two loads.? lol ace a fe detergent pillows. The town is full of money grabbers. nOT recommended. ##### Jeff I. Séjour de 4 nuits en janvier 2024 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Jennifer M. 14 janv. 2024 Points forts : Propreté #### Miss Back patio and welcome center already! This property is off the beaten path in charming El Castillo which we enjoyed. Need 4W drive. Family of 5 very much enjoyed the back patio/hammock...so many birds, hummingbirds, Arenal view, and flowers. The welcome center folks are OUTSTANDING and helped us with recommendations of where to shop and amazing tours. 1 bed creaky but comfortable. ##### Jennifer M. Séjour de 5 nuits en décembre 2023 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Janelle B. 9 déc. 2023 Points forts : Propreté #### Setting, setting, setting The view is spectacular - I loved sitting on the deck every morning to enjoy it with a cup of coffee. The house is as described. There are some bugs and a gecko, but when you see the setting, it makes sense and using chemicals would hurt the beautiful surroundings. Beds were very comfortable. You will hear roosters every morning and sometimes the day. They belong to the neighbor and you just have to get used to it. I was aware and just dealt with it. If you have the air-conditioner on in the bedrooms it is not as loud. Every morning we opened up the doors and windows and let the wonderful breeze come through to air out the house and cool it down (might be why we had bugs!). Totally worth it. The cool mountain air is fresh and invigorating. We closed up if leaving or once the sun started to go down. I didn't get one mosquito bite! FYI Costa Rican roads are DIFFICULT. Be ready to drive some harrowing roads. This home is in a great area with some great restaurants and tours available, but there are big hills. I had a sprained ankle so we drove, but if I had been healthy we would have got some good cardio in. If you have food allergies, there is a restaurant called Essence up the road that will accommodate it all. The hostess is always there and remembers what you told her. Cocoa tour was fun. Fantastic bakery down the road - stores, restaurants as well. La Fortuna nearby (20min). Host was just down the road and was responsive and very nice. We really enjoyed staying here! ##### Janelle B. Séjour de 4 nuits en novembre 2023 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Tess W. 30 nov. 2023 Points forts : Propreté #### Great location Loved watching the birds in the morning on the balcony with a cup of coffee! So much to do within an hour's drive. I wish we had more time to check it all out. Easy to communicate with property manager and to check in/out. Recommend getting groceries from far away as most of the close stores have only the basics. ##### Tess W. Séjour de 4 nuits en novembre 2023 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Paul T. 8 août 2023 Points forts : Propreté #### Wonderful stay. We stayed here in July of 2023\. Everything was great. Check in was super convenient and friendly. This is a really gorgeous area with a ton to explore. I would 100% book this location again. (Family of 4.) ##### Paul T. Séjour de 2 nuits en juillet 2023 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Bryan B., Concord, USA 27 juin 2023 #### Awesome views and charm We really enjoyed our stay but it wasn't very clean when we arrived. The cottage was very cozy (very charming) and the view from the covered deck was spectacular with lots of birds. The people at the welcome center were extremely friendly and helpful. The location is very convenient to Arenal and La Fortuna. There was more to do than we could do in our short stay. On another note, the second nite when we returned, we found termites coming out of the walls in the shower. Lots of them. This place needs a thorough inspection and treatment or it will be sawdust. ##### Bryan B. Séjour de 2 nuits en juin 2023 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Stacy P., Charlotte 24 avr. 2023 Points forts : Propreté #### THE VIEW! Holy cow - the view from this place is priceless! There is also a bakery that you can walk to down the hill each morning and an amazing restaurant up the hill that we would go to at night. It's about a 30 min drive into La Fortuna for activities which isn't bad at all. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! ##### Stacy P. Séjour de 3 nuits en avril 2023 ### 8/10 – Bien #### Tracy L. 9 mars 2023 Points forts : Propreté #### A quiet gem The house is located in El Castillo and not in La Fortuna which was fantastic. It is a smaller, quieter community yet still a short distance from La Fortuna. The house is beautiful with nice woodwork. The management staff were wonderful and responsive to questions. It is in walking distance to a couple of places to eat, a small store and most important, a bakery. The house was clean, spacious and had everything you need. It has a deck in the back (pictured) where you can spend hours looking at Lake Arenal, the volcano and an amazing amount of birds passing by the property. In our 3 week trip, we spent less time here than in other places and that was a HUGE mistake. There is much to do in the area. We most certainly would rent this VRBO again. ##### Tracy L.

Agustin was amazing to work with and he made all our reservations which was very helpful. Views from the property were fantastic and we saw many native birds including toucans. Tried many of the local restaurants and the food was very good. ##### Anna D. Séjour de 4 nuits en février 2023 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Clare M. 8 janv. 2023 Points forts : Propreté #### Loved the Birds and the Food We really enjoyed our stay in El Castillo. The town is not as busy as La Fortuna and the home has a beautiful backyard view. We only had to walk a few steps to reach La Ventanita, which is a wonderful place to get very reasonably priced food and great milkshakes. There is a bakery down the hill that serves fresh baked goods and a delicious vegetarian restaurant named Essence Arenal. The house was the perfect base for our exploration of this incredibly beautiful area. ##### Clare M.
