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. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Massage - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Chef service ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Living room ### Outdoor areas - Garden - Porch/lanai ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Gravel flooring in public areas - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Concierge services - Housekeeping (on request) ### Location highlights - In a village - In the mountains - On a lake ### Things to do - Water park - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Kayaking nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Rafting nearby - Swimming nearby - Theme park nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden - Housekeeping (on request) - Unit size: 2,152 square feet ## Similar properties ![Outdoor pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/32000000/31980000/31971800/31971751/471c38d0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Luxury Home overlooks Arenal Volcano & Lake Arenal & Ceiba Tree El Castillo de La Fortuna - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen - Free WiFi 9.6 Exceptional 202 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-04&endDate=2025-11-05&selected=31971751&PinnedHotelID=31971751&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![TV, DVD player](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/31000000/30260000/30250500/30250420/09a30887.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cozy 3BR Home on Lake Arenal and Arenal Volcano.

May 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fantasyland in Costa Rica We decided to come to Costa Rica rather than Hilton Head for a short vacation. When I booked this property, I did not pay quite enough attention to the description of the driveway, which was rather rough. However, we did get our minivan front wheel drive up the road, although it was a little scary at time. The property was beautiful and the setting was mystical. A volcano off your shoulder on one side and a beautiful lake in front. My adult daughter and son-in-law and two granddaughters ages eight and 10 had a fantastic time. We really enjoyed the little restaurant just a little walk away.Overall, I would definitely do this again. It was absolutely beautiful clean and very comfortable.

Jun 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing rainforest escape This property is absolutely beautiful and everything you see in the pictures. The views are incredible, the bird watching from the porch provides hours of enjoyment, and the accommodations are very comfortable. Our family enjoyed the pool and leaving all the sliding doors open to feel the cool breezes of El Castillo. Even though it is listed in the description, I did not realize the property didn't have air conditioning and was initially concerned, having just come from the coast where it was very warm. But El Castillo is much more temperate and the breezes keep everything very comfortable in the house. The need of a four wheel drive vehicle is absolutely necessary as the road leading up to the house is steep and very rocky. There are many wonderful restaurants close by. No service stations and only a small market, so plan accordingly. Close to the volcano, zip lining, and the La Fortuna waterfall. Would definitely recommend! ##### Layla D.

We had an exceptional experience staying here from the first breath taking view of Volcan de Arenal upon waking to dipping our toes in the pool during a hot afternoon. As recommended having a 4x4 to get up the steep gravel road is more comfortable. Be mindful of the black entry gate as it is slow to open & close. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Pam C.

The property manager worked diligently to get us flashlights. The driveway is long and steep, the recommendation for 4 wheel drive is absolutely warranted. A little further from attractions then I was expecting. No air conditioning. But on a clear day it is spectacular and very comfortable. ##### Pam C.

The views were amazing of the volcano. The pool to cool off in was awesome. The birds were so fun to watch- we saw toucans, hummingbirds and yellow chest birds. The Pheonix restaurant just down the road was definitely one of our favorite places to eat- went there both nights. Really close to Sky Adventures for zip lining. You need a car that can handle a rocky road to get here- it's a fun drive up and down. Property manager wonderful- helped us reserve zip lining and recommended restaurants. La Street Bistro in downtown Fortuna was really good too. Highly recommend this place! ##### Jennifer B. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tyler C.

If you get lucky enough you can get a clear view of the volcano (it’s probably the best you can get in the area). The pool is great, however it’s not a hot tub in the photo, it’s a water feature. The drive up to the property is very bumpy and uphill, we didn’t have a 4x4 so it was a little more difficult but we still made it up fine. All in all, a great stay and a beautiful property with a gorgeous view! ##### Tyler C. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ellen G.

It was absolutely stunning and the view was incredible. It looked just like the pictures. It was located in a great community with some local restaurant options that were very tasty. The property manager was very helpful and answered all questions we had. There were many activities nearby that we could do and the area was quite. The only area of improvement would have been more towels for the pool and some fans as it did get a little hot without AC. Other than that it was perfect! We would recommend it to anyone and would definitely go back. ##### Ellen G.
