Beautiful little place on the outskirts of town

The property was gorgeous and well maintained. Rooms were nice and the air-condition works well. The location is too far to walk to most places in town, but plenty of room to park a rental car. Or if you prefer, Uber is quick, easy, and cheap. We had no issues getting an Uber within a few minutes in town. We also hired the private chef that works with the owner for one night. Absolutely amazing experience! You cannot stay here without trying it! Charlie and Annette were very professional, polite, and provided a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

Perfect retreat for couples!

Super cute, cozy, and great location! This place is even better in person. We were a group of three couples traveling together. All had our own bedroom and bathroom, each with a shower. Beds were comfortable and AC worked great in the rooms. We loved the pool, the outdoor seating with big patio table

Live like a local

My family and I had a great stay at Magnalia House. The house and detached pool cabana were spotless, comfortable and well appointed. Highlight is definitely the soaking pool in backyard. The area around the pool was comfortable, and beautifully landscaped, giving a feeling of complete privacy even though you are in a neighborhood. Also, the awnings allow for plenty of sun but also allow you to enjoy outside even when it’s pouring rain. And the view of Arenal from the pool is stunning. A couple of practical realities, you are staying in an actual neighborhood in CR. There’s some realities you deal with: occasional road noise, the neighbor’s dogs barking late at night. Also, the process of getting in and out of the property is a bit involved and trying to negotiate after dark makes it more challenging. But the owners were responsive and went out of their way to fix any issues that came up. Also, you get to live like a local in a safe neighborhood and still be close to town. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Great stay near La Fortuna

We really enjoyed our stay here. The place felt safe, private, and was a short drive from La Fortuna and the Arenal area. The pool area was a really nice retreat to relax between activities and was so peaceful for listening to the rain.

Clean and comfortable home

We loved staying in Nela’s home in La Fortuna. The house was very clean, the location of the home was very convenient to everything in La Fortuna. Communication was easy with Nela, and she had great restaurant recommendations. The beds were comfy and we loved spending time outside in the courtyard and taking dips in the little pool to cool down in the afternoon. Would definitely recommend and would stay here again.
