We loved our location in La Fortuna. We rented a car so we could move around easily for food and excursions. Our kids loved the pool and we loved the outdoor space. The property manager met us at a nearby restaurant to take us to the home and get us acquainted with the property. We had some trouble with the air conditioning, but the host was very responsive and the problems were fixed immediately.

Excellent 3Br house in LaFortuna

My huband, myself and 2 sons (ages 18 and 20) staryed at Villa Ensueno for 3 nights. The house, pool and outdoor area are great! Very clean and well-maintained. We didnt have a chance to use the outdpor kitchen, but it looks lovely! There is also a well-equipped bonus bathroom in the pool area. It was perfect for our family's needs. The house is in a great location for all the major attractions in the area. We had a rental car from San Jose airport, and we used Waze for directions to get around. Mario and Matius were highly responsive. We also enjoyed the hummingbirds at the house. Thank you for hosting us at your lovely home!
