Wide Luxury Home with Pool & Jacuzzi access & Amazing Volcano and Lake views

Nestled on a hilltop, with spectacular views of Lake Arenal and the Arenal Volcano, Pie in the Sky is truly a little piece of paradise. Experience an unforgettable holiday in one of Costa Rica’s premier travel destinations.

Accommodation: Pie in the Sky is a unique and luxurious accommodation. There are 3 separated houses that share the common areas like Swimming Pool, Jacuzzi and BBQ Deck, and it offers you the flexibility to rent each house individually or the entire complex for maximum privacy. This listing is ONLY for PIE IN THE SKY 3

- Pie in the Sky #3 is a 5 bedrooms house with same number of bathrooms and it sleeps up to 15 people. For your comfort all the bedrooms have air-conditioned, custom-made black out draperies, hotel like amenities and have access to the front terrace where the views are simple stunning.
- The large kitchen with fine wood cabinets, granite counter tops and all the appliances is perfect to cook tasty meals for large parties.
- For your enjoyment the spring fed pool and jacuzzi are just steps away from the house, and so is the BBQ Ranch with Propane Grill, tables and chairs.

- THINGS TO DO: There are lots of tours to keep you entertained for days, Volcano hikes, Zip Lines, Hanging Bridges, ATV tours, Kayak and Paddle-board tours, Rainforest and Waterfall hikes, Horseback riding, Hot Springs, Wildlife watching tours and more. All of these are less than half an hour away from the house.
Our concierge is always available at our new and modern Welcome Center to help you book tours, find the best restaurants, book a massage and get the most out of your time in the area.

-LOCATION: El Castillo is approx. 3 hours (150km) from both international airports, either in the capital of San Jose, or on the northern pacific coast in Liberia. La Fortuna, which is a small city that offers amenities such as grocery, banking, post office, restaurants, hot springs, excursions and much more, is only 30 minutes away.

- GETTING AROUND: You will want your own Rental Car. While there are a few things to see and a couple of restaurants within walking distance of the house, there are many activities that require a 10 to 45 minute drive. You will not be happy waiting for a cab to arrive either coming or going.
*ROAD UPDATE: Some reviews mention the necessity of a 4x4 car to access the property, the drive up to the house was steep, rocky and sometimes slippery, but after Sep. 5th of 2022 it's completely paved, so any type of car will be able to make it up and down the hill without problems.

Spectacular
Property is better than in the pictures. Pool and jacuzzi were immaculately clean. Great views and well appointed kitchen. The supplied coffee was delicious. Monkeys and birds were entertaining. Location close to activities and provided a needed quiet from the fast paced adventure activities. Nearby restaurants were all 10/10. Highly recommend.

Paradise
Absolutely gorgeous property with unbelievable views. The house itself was nice and comfortably slept 8 adults. Living room furniture is very uncomfortable but luckily we didn't spend much time sitting there. Kitchen was semi-well stocked but there are not any reasonable grocery stores nearby to be able to cookanything. Lots of ants got in the kitchen so couldn't leave anything out. We did hire a private chef the first night which was quite lavish and very expensive at around $120 per person. There are a number of restaurants within a 15 minute drive. It's about a 30 minute drive to Fortuna.

Great place to stay in that area.
We stayed for 3 nights and did the volcano hike, hanging bridges and coffee and chocolate tour. 6 adults and was plenty of room. Ate at both Howlers and Fusion which were both good and very close to us.

Amazing views!
The property grounds were amazingly beautiful well kept and views were well worth the stay. Erica and Agustin were available for questions and they responded quickly. The draw back was for how huge the place is the living room was so small and couches were outdated and not comfortable. Not enough room for all eight of us to sit and relax together. And it had no AC so it would get stuffy even with the bedroom doors open to allow cooling. Although cleaning services were provided our rooms were still not really cleaned but they did provide clean towels. The grilling area, pool and hot tub were a great bonus. Location was good restaurants and grocery store around. In end it was a 4 1/2 stars but rating doesn’t do 1/2s.

Spectacular View
Our stay at pie in the sky was absolutely wonderful. The view from the property was amazing and made our family feel at home in Costa Rica. The house was well maintained and had ample space for our family to spread out. The separate bedroom was a nice space as well although the stairs down to the bathroom were tricky at night. The kitchen and dining table were exactly what our party needed, especially for the holidays and our large group. Our party enjoyed using both the pool and hot tub as well as the grill area. The location is a bit far from La Fortuna area but that is what our group wanted. There were plenty of places to eat around the house. The road up to the house was a bit steep but expected given the view you get and the road was well paved. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would absolutely come again.

We traveled to this property before Christmas. It was beautiful! Such an amazing property that truly was a unique vacation rental. The property was very private. We saw a toucan on the property as well as many other birds. The view of the volcano was beautiful.

My family and I spent 4 nights on this beautiful property. The kids loved the hot tub and pool. The adults loves the views. There landscaping was beautiful and the view of the lake was amazing. The location is about it 30 minutes to La Fortuna but very close to quite of few things to do like zip lining and hiking. The drive to La Fortuna is a bit windy and the road had a few pot holes in it when we were there. We ate pizza at Howler’s the first night and it was really good. If you plan to cook while you are there you might want to buy groceries in La Fortuna. The small stores down the road from the house had a few things but not a lot of variety. Very nice people though. There were some ants that liked to visit at night by the property manager provided us with Raid after the first night. If we sprayed around the door before sunset it seemed to help. If you are looking for beautiful, peaceful views this is the place for you.
