Vacation rentals in Río Platanar

The house was a great experience, Danielle was great to deal with, she was very helpful in helping us coordinate tours and advice on where to go. The house was very clean and private. We were a group of 8 (4 adults/4 kids) and we had ample space in the home.

Spent an amazing 2 months at Chris's place. Exactly what we have hoped for. The grounds and property were absolutely stunning! A true little paradise, especially if you are bird lover! A wonderful location to walk and enjoy the beauty of the lake, or walk into town to experience one of the many amazing restaurants. After we spent a day exploring, it was so nice to come back and relax in the beautiful pool! The beds were very comfy and the linens were a nice treat. Last but not least, Chris' place made us feel so at home. Chris checked in with us to make sure we had everything we needed. And Alex( and of course , Cindy) the property manager/ grounds keeper, added to our amazing time, his friendly smile, his whistles as he works to maintain the beautiful gardens, his funny stories and his knowledge of his country that he is so passionate about, truly was the "icing on the cake" . We feel very lucky to have found Chris' place as we now feel like we have found another home! Dave & Lisa

Beautiful amazing place

Ingrid’s place was amazing and exactly as described. She was a thoughtful and responsive host and left wine and chocolate to welcome us. We would definitely stay here again. The road up to the house is best navigated with an SUV.

Amazing house close to everything in La Fortuna but also quiet and peaceful. Wonderful volcano views from a beautiful pool and hot tub area. Would love to stay here again!!

We loved this place and we lived the little kitty cat Sally who greeted us every time we came home. Great little companion. Consider donating a bag of food to feed her if you stay here and put out a little bowl of water. The location is really nice! Out of the bustle of La Fortuna, but easily walkable to town. Quiet and surrounded by beauty. Always felt safe. Private cottage surrounded by tropical plants. Lovely family that lives at and takes care of the property for the owners. We had an excellent stay and we would definitely recommend!!!

What a wonderful experience we had at this property! Of our 3 homes we stayed at during our time in Costa Rica, this was the most personable and felt the most authentic to Costa Rican living. Leonardo’s mother, Damas was a true gem! What a beautiful woman! She showed us her garden, brought us fresh bananas, cut some coconuts from the tree, showed us her unbelievable orchids, and so much more! She treated us like her personal guests. The pictures of the property do not do this place justice! Gorgeous, fun, educational and WOW, just so fun!! It is a bit of a a drive to La Fortuna (about 30 minutes), but that’s what makes it special and more of an authentic experience. It’s not a touristy place to stay, but close enough to LaFortuna to do the typical tourist attractions. Thank you for sharing your home and your mother with us!

AMAZING. Such a beautiful and peaceful place, the view is WAY better in real, the room are big and clean with hot water, really a piece of paradise!!! The only thing to know, there is a breakfast for a great price available. Otherwise you need to think to buy some food to eat. It is not far away from the little town where you have a few restaurants (maybe 1-2?), a little convenient store and a place to get meat but it is a bumpy road to come back to get it, so think ahead and buy it before you get there!

This place was absolutely magical! Amazing view, clean and cozy. The horses next door visited and said hello and the flower garden was an added bonus! The restaurants in the area are all great and people very friendly!
