This house is beautiful. It has the best views. El Castillo is such a cute town, with some of the best food at the shops down the street (and a very good bakery). The house is very close to the lake and Arenal volcano, and about a 30-40 minute drive to the city center where you can do a bunch of different tour activities. The views are incredible! We spent some time every day sitting on the roof and looking over the rolling hills (and the volcano if we got lucky). At night, we were able to see quite a few stars as well, being in a small town. The seats on the roof were so comfy! We were serenaded by birds and frogs, but no traffic noises as it is at the end of the street. Sometimes the neighbor dogs do bark, but it wasn't a problem. We slept well each night. We saw so many hummingbirds as well as other tropical birds that would perch on the trees and flowers near the property. Pro tip, download Merlin bird identification app, we checked off a ton of lifers at this property. Erica the local host was so helpful, we appreciated her meeting us later at night when we were delayed getting to the house. She also made sure that everything was going well for us in the house. The host was very communicative and answered all our questions before we came. The opportunity to do laundry is very helpful in an area prone to rainstorms, and in an area with so many hotsprings, it is nice to wash your clothes. The house was cute, clean and lovely. I would 100% stay here again!
