"We wish we would have spent more time at Patrick's place. The breakfast was the best we had in Costa Rica. This place has everything you need to explore the La Fortuna area."

"This house was really a gem, well equipped and surrounded by nature. Just be SURE to rent a 4WD vehicle, as there are many steep and winding dirt roads to access the property with huge potholes and ruts. We knew about this area but if you have never been there be prepared for an off-road experience. Lots of birds and beauty make the effort worthwhile. Friendly and helpful caretakers. We had a lovely time:)"

"If you enjoy unique places, Destino is a MUST DO! The photos are exactly what you get - no unpleasant surprises. The villa we stayed in for 3 nights has 2 bedrooms, each with an ensuite toilet and sink. Each has access to 2 showers, an indoor and an outdoor. The infinity pool was a fabulous way to cool down and relax after a day of hiking. The kitchen was fully equipped for four people with full sized fridge, gas oven and stove, microwave, dishwasher, kettle, small drip coffee machine, stove top expresso maker, and a ricemaker. There's air conditioning that we used only at night for sleeping. Dining is el fresco with wonderful views from the deck. Orlando was an excellent communicator and was super helpful and accommodating. The location is a little off the beaten path, but honestly, that's definitely part of the charm! The dirt road is steep in places, but absolutely no issues in our rented rear wheel drive Toyota Rush. The landscape is fun to explore, with plenty of kilometers to walk. There is a view of the Rio Blanco and a path/steps down to it for those who are able. You don't want to miss a stay at Destino! "

"Great view and a fun area. Chef was good and feels like staying right in the rainforest "

"This was our first visit to Costa Rica, and we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. The home offered a peaceful and private backyard that made us feel like we were the only ones in the world—overlooking a lush ravine, beautiful lake views, and unforgettable sunsets.We loved how everything was within walking distance—great local restaurants, sodas, and a little convenient store. The infinity pool was the perfect spot to unwind while listening to the soothing sounds of nature and birds chirping. We were lucky enough to see different species of birds and several toucans right from the backyard!It is truly a slice of paradise. We’re already looking forward to coming back and would absolutely stay in this exact home again. It was perfect!"

"This is a very property and the staff is excellent. We enjoyed our stay and the river tubing was a lot of fun. I would recommend it."
