Perfect stay in La Fortuna
This house was the perfect base for our adventures in La Fortuna. It was extremely clean, very spacious, and we had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. The upstairs porch is wonderful. Really can't say enough good things, everything was ideal and I would highly recommend!

Looking for a great location in La Fortuna?
The house is absolutely spic and span clean and has all the comfort needed to adapt yourself to the hot and humid environment. Television sets with all features! Pablo is very attentive before arrival! But you do need a high weel car to manage the entrance.

Pablo was very good at communication and answered all questions promptly. The check in process was seamless and the home was stocked with all necessary items. We were all delighted with the shampoos, lotions, soaps and laundry facilities. There is a sitting area downstairs and upstairs which allows for individual space and one bedroom is well equipped to sleep children. The air conditioning is very welcomed, worked very well and was quiet. You need to really like very firm beds (was hard for some to sleep) and not mind constant neighbourhood dogs barking(day and well into the evening). It is a great location and we booked tours through Jacamar and they picked us up at the home. That was a wonderful bonus and we had great tours.

Wonderful experience!
I feel I was very fortunate in choosing La Fortuna as our home base and this house was a perfect fit for what we wished to do. I had thought perhaps there was a little exaggeration in the description of possibility of seeing sloths, toucans, etc from the deck. I apologize! We did indeed spot them as well as iguanas as we had our coffee sitting there. I have absolutely NO complaints! It was still a wonderful experience for all of us. I hope to return someday and would feel fortunate to spend the time at Casa del Bosque.
