Best location, nature and art

Our HOME is a beautiful piece of art, designed and owned by Julian Tiglat, only the best materials were used on the construction. Relaxing surroundings invites you to sit and enjoy of a Costa Rica countryside house located close and far from La Fortuna downtown (Just ½ mile – 15 minute walk) in friendly and secure neighborhood.

The majestic house is a lilting combination of straight and curved lines soaring to a high ceiling; the gallery and living area are very large and create a cool open space, while the bedrooms are intimate and cozy. The patio off the family room opens to a very large, private park with birds nesting in the palms where a brook feeds a lovely pond; there is INDOOR POOL in the house and a garage with a work bench and enough room for three cars.

You imagine you are far from civilization in your private paradise with the natural sounds of birds and swaying palms but in reality you are just a kilometer from LA FORTUNA, a charming little town of excellent restaurants, markets, souvenirs and tour agencies at the foot of the active ARENAL VOLCANO. In the other direction, just a ten minute walk, is a large natural swimming pool in the Fortuna river surrounded by jungle, where the locals cool off in the middle of the day; the people of Costa Rica are very friendly, pleasant and happy, who greet strangers with a salutation of HOLA and PURA VIDA.

We will make sure that your experience in Arenal be unique and memorable, we have all kinds of information about activities, must visit places and recommendations to travel around La Fortuna and all over Costa Rica. Please feel free to ask me anything and we will give you an answer as soon as possible.

Great Stay
We really enjoyed this property. There was plenty of room for our family to spread out, and the location was perfect for us. Just a short walk to a rope swing swinging area where many of the locals go. There are a couple restaurants very close or you can walk all the way into town in less than 20 min. Julian (the owner) lives right next store. He was very helpful and was quick to respond to any requests.

This location was very close to all activities. I did learn to not book tours online, I paid one-third more than other people. Buy from locals. This property was very comfortable. Get reservations to restaurant around the corner. It is very good. Would stay here again. All nessities were in the home. Host is very talkative and nice.

Good location, conviene to town.
Very interesting property. It was clean and secure. Julian, the host, was available and went out of his way to be helpful. Our host is an amazing artist. He introduced us to Sonia at Redlava tours. She was extremely helpful and booked us for some amazing tours. There were beds for 8, not 12 as listed online. We stayed for tho weeks, 4 people the first week, 5 the second. Host insisted on a $25.00 per day charge the second week because of the 5th person. No bill was presented and it was a cash transaction with no receipt. Was this a reasonable charge in a rental property that was listed for 12 guests, or a scam? Overall, we had a good experience.

Lovely little house in a great location
Perfect house for our family of 5. 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, good water heat and pressure, smart tv, and a great location. Nice benches on the porch to sit outside with a coffee. We could walk to downtown La Fortuna and to El Salto rope swing. Clear view of Arenal volcano at the end of the street too. Julian was an attentive and friendly host. Very clean with a gated yard though we felt safe everywhere we went in Costa Rica.

A great option just outside of La Fortuna
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Julian's. The home is super spacious, clean, reasonably quiet (set back from the main street), and very unique. Within walking distance to the El Salto rope swing (a big hit with our daughter), also a very doable walk into town. The only notable downside might be the lack of laundry but it wasn't an issue for us. Julian was great to chat with, very helpful with tips to improve our stay. There are two dogs on the property, very friendly. Recommended!
