About this property

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.

Beautiful home away from home

Thoroughly enjoyed staying at this unique and spacious home with our family of 6. Easy walk to town for groceries and banking. El Salto was nearby and fun for the kids to see. Beds were very comfortable and we felt safe on the beautiful, peaceful property. The pool was clean and very refreshing. Julian is a wonderful host.

Christmas 2024

Property is attractive but not functional. Thankfully, the house is in a good area because we were not able to secure the house. Only the front door locked properly. The windows around the pool didn’t lock and there were poor locks on the other doors. No garage parking. No hairdryer. Owner met us and gave theimpression that he did not enjoy renting the property. We were so taken aback we didn’t ask any other questions.

La Fortuna

This is a very unique home, a one-of-a-kind artists original. The tin roof really echoes rain and the open ceiling carries noise and conversations within the house. The location can’t be beat! We loved all the suggestions and took advantage of the proximity of things to do.

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.
