10/10 Excellent
"We could not be happier with our stay at Casa Armonia! The house is incredibly spacious and as well equipped as any rental I have ever stayed in. We saw monkeys almost every day from the backyard, and walked a minute down the road to a night tour, where we saw a sloth, snakes, frogs, and more! The rooms are massive and the beds very comfortable. We travelled with our grandchildren, and the trampoline and swing set in the backyard kept them busy! The hot tub was icing on the cake for colder or rainy nights, where we could relax while watching spider monkeys jump from tree to tree.The hosts were friendly, quick to reply, and made great recommendations on what to do and where to eat. La Fortuna has become one of our favorite vacation destinations, and it all started with Casa Armonia! Thank you Silvia for hosting us, and we will absolutely be back!"
