It’s in a local area just not a lot to eat in walking distance but it’s a short drive to downtown. Everything else was a perfect rural area.

Casa COLIBRÍ Rubi

Wonderful accommodations and great location. The kids felt like royalty and were so impressed with the house and the pool. We drove into La Fortuna daily for restaurants and wandering and did a bunch of activities as well. Nothing was more than a 20 minute drive.

Best stay in Lafortuna

Arnaldo has one of the best properties you’ll find in Costa Rica. A gated property with fully furnished homes, heated pools & sloths on property. Every morning was a delight to wake up to see Toucans & macaws floating around & that early morning coolness. Wonderful stay!!

The property and house itself was amazing! Very well kept and maintained and had a beautiful outdoor relaxing and swimming area that is all yours! I highly recommend stopping beforehand (main areas/cities) to get food if you are not wanting to drive all of the time as the restaurant options within walking distanceare limited. Overall a great location for any type of trip if you are looking for the sights not the beach!

Tranquil La Fortuna Retreat

Our stay at Casa Colibri was absolutely wonderful with plenty of room for our family to stretch out and a beautiful pool and gorgeous property. Our hosts were very accommodating. Everything was super clean and we had a wonderful experience taking small adventures and coming back to relax at this beautiful home. We especially loved the pool and terrace where we sat and played games each night as a family. The caretaker brought us to visit a sloth on the property and we were invited to walk the lovely grounds. We had a wonderful experience and are looking forward to return soon!

Beautiful property and great for families

The property was beautiful and secure. The home was amazing and cannot say enough about the pool. The groundskeeper showed us sloths every morning. The house is a little bit outside of La Fortuna (15 minutes) but we were ok with that. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Fantastic stay in fortuna

What a beautiful property. The pool was warm and magical. The beds were so comfortable. Lots of warm water. Not within walking distance of town, but the magic of the place was a fine trade-off.

Great Stay

This property is wonderful, there are other houses on the property but they are all very private. The groundskeeper showed us where the local sloth was each morning. We saw a ton of toucans one day they were so fun to watch. Having the pool right out the back door is wonderful. Need a car as it’s a bit out of townwatch.

Multi-generation stay

We had a great experience at this property! It’s nestled in the lush country. I was impressed with how clean the property was, and the groundsman kept the outdoors in great shape. He even showed us a sloth on property.My son left an important item, and the owner coordinated a driver to drive it 3 hours to Tamarindo.Communication and check in was easy. We would stay here again!

Sloth watching from the Pool!

Great place, Louis, the grounds keeper, told us on day one there were 3 sloths on the property. He took us around and we got great footage. We could watch one each day from the pool/patio area. The house was great. Only down side was its little trek to LaFortuna, but I would highly recommend.

Beautiful villa outside of la Fortuna

Very nice accommodations. Everything was clean and in good working condition. It was just as advertised. The added bonus was that Luis who came to clean the pool every day also took the time to show us sloths, toucans and other wildlife on the property. We would not have seen them on our own. Really enjoyed our stay!!!

We loved the home and property. The home is well stocked with everything you need for your stay. The outdoor area is beautiful with a lovely pool and landscaping. Arnaldo responded quickly to any of our questions. On our last morning, the groundskeeper came to get us to show us the 2 sloths in the trees at the back of the property! We also booked the chefs for our last breakfast and they were amazing! Great experience.

La Fortuna Vacation

We spent 5 wonderful nights at Casa COLIBRÍ. The house is very nice and would highly recommend. We loved the nightly visit from host pup Lulu and her friends. Luis showed us Sloths on the property every day, saw more on Property than we did at Sloth Park. Had great ATV adventures, Sky Adventure with zipline and hanging bridges in the area.

Wonderful La Fortuna vacation!

Casa Calibri Rubi is a beautiful and spacious home in a private gated community, extremely clean, upgraded throughout. Comfortable beds, plenty of towels, great A/C units, very nice bathrooms with shower gels/shampoo/conditioner provided. We appreciated that Arnaldo provided detailed instructions on how to use security codes, appliances, A/C, etc. He is a great host. We really liked the wonderful outdoor living space. Great pool, huge covered patio with very nice dining table and chairs, comfortable upholstered furniture set. We preferred that Casa Calibri Rubi was located just outside of town, surrounded by nature, a lovely large, lush yard and grounds—all the sights and sounds we love about Costa Rica! We rented a car, it’s an easy 10 drive to downtown La Fortuna. It was convenient to all the fun adventures we planned.In the early morning hours I loved our Costa Rican “alarm clock” howler monkeys! Luis, the groundskeeper showed us a couple of sloths in trees right on the property as well as a family of howler monkeys—-so awesome!We will return to La Fortuna and we highly recommend this house.

Quiet, beautiful pool, amazing views, close enough to La Fortuna for essentials, food, and activities yet far enough to relax. Take a walk around the property to see sloths and other wildlife.
