About this property

THE Ranch Villa Arenal - Oasis, Location, Tradition, Nature and Adventure

Enjoy the magic that surrounds Arenal Volcano in this gorgeous Costa Rican farm that will be yours alone for your visit! This working Ranch is 10 minutes from La Fortuna & continues to produce Plantains, Cassava and Mangosteen. We are proud to offer our guests a unique opportunity to enjoy the luxury of the Villa lifestyle with your own private chef! We welcome you to relax & enjoy our rich gardens of native plants & flowers that draw a plethora of bird species.

The farm has more than 70 years operating. Since the beginning of the 19th century, the Quesada family has been in the agriculture & cattle business offering the Central American market premium products with a sustainable vision. This ensures that the land will be passed through generations maintaining the same fertility and quality of its beginnings.
The ranch villa was always the main family house for the Quesada family.

The Villa has been slowly upgraded and modernized in the last years so it has the feeling of an outdoor and farm house but also counts with all the features that a city house has to make sure you can continue your day to day with the slight difference of being in a privileged location.
Plants In The gardens have been meticulously selected to have the perfect combination between an ornamental and an edible organic garden surrounded by fruit trees.

Loved By All

Our family of 13, ages 73 to 5, stayed for 7 days at this property. The moment we stepped into this villa we felt "on vacation". It has its own personality seeped in history not a bland cookie cutter house. The outstanding landscaping made you feel you were in a remote area yet you are actually within walking distance of necessities and only a few minutes from La Fortuna. The grounds were planted to attract local wildlife and we were always entertained by these visitors. Jaquin gave us an educated farm tour (he is the diamond at this villa) of the crops, answered any questions that we had and went out of his way to be helpful. One suggestion would involve the many light switches throughout this large home and grounds. After a week we still had not figured out where some were located. Labeling them or a detailed diagram in the house manual would be very helpful. The extra bedroom on the main floor is perfect as a handicap room. It has sliding door to bathroom and walk in shower with shower chair. Our family has been home a few days and we miss it already.

Gorgeous home!

We absolutely loved our oasis. Ranch Villa is conveniently located outside of Fortuna, about 10 min, if that. It is next to, in walking distance, a nice restaurant, small sodas, and a grocery store. The outside living is beatiful with pool, hot tub, nature lagoon, and playground for kids. Birds galore! Toucans, macaw, lizards...Yadira cooking was a fantastic and easy way to enjoy CR food and the pool time, although a little expensive. Our main issues, although not really the house's fault, but if developing country- we either had no hot water, no water, a trickle of water; a giant spider in the kitchen; lots if bugs; and a broken hot tub (which they fixed after we convinced them in broken Spanish something was wrong- am electrical shock in water). Again- we take issues in stride when staying in other places, but guests should know it still has challenges. A way to improve the house would be an ac unit in the living room or fan over inside table and see if the water pressure can be normalized. Also- bring noise makers for traffic. The house isn't on the road, but the vehicle noise gets loud.

A wonderful stay at a beautiful property!

We had a wonderful time at The Ranch Villa Arenal! The house and grounds are beautiful and the staff was warm and welcoming. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub and sitting on the porch at night. The Ranch was close to all of our activities in the area. We would highly recommend this property!

Amazing time at the Ranch Villa Arenal

I cannot say enough positive things about our stay. Jorge was an amazing host with amazing staff. Jordy, the concierge was so responsive and helpful with organizing everything for our stay. Yadi, the chef, made the yummiest food for our group and Joaquin, the Gardner, gave us a fun and interactive tour of the property. My husband and friends raved about the house and grounds. Would 100% stay here again!
