The farm has more than 70 years operating. Since the beginning of the 19th century the Quesada family has been in the agriculture & cattle business offering the Central American market premium products with a sustainable vision. This ensures that the land will be passed through generations maintaining the same fertility and quality of its beginnings.
The ranch villa was always the main family house for the Quesada family.

The Villa has been upgraded and modernized in the last years so to keep the feeling of an outdoor farm house that with all the features that a city house has to make sure you can continue your day to day with the slight difference of being in a privileged location. Newest addition: YOGA DECK!
Plants In The gardens have been meticulously selected to have the perfect combination between an ornamental and an edible organic garden surrounded by fruit trees.

We welcome you to relax & enjoy our rich gardens of native plants & flowers that draw an incomparable landscape!

What a beautiful place. We felt so special and welcome. The grounds are impressive and clean. Each day the pool area gets cleaned . We had ladies fix our meal 2x and the prices were very reasonable. There is someone on the grounds who would help us with anything. Everything we did was close by.

Relaxing paradise
The Ranch Villa Arenal is a gorgeous house and property. We felt at home and fell in love with Yadi the house keeper/cook and Joaquin the grounds keeper. Yadi cooked a delicious breakfast every day and Joaquin entertained us with tours of the working ranch. The Fortuna area offers many activities for all age groups. Our family had a fantastic time and highly recommend this property. Pura Vida.

We loved this place!
We had the best time at the villa. Yadi cooked the most amazing meals, Joaquin took some of our group on a tour of the grounds but on top of that he always seemed to appear right when we needed something, anticipating our every thought. We truly have no complaints, this was the perfect location and experience for our group of 8 adults.

A Hidden Gem in Arenal – Perfect Retreat!
We had the most amazing stay at this property in Arenal! The grounds are absolutely stunning – lush and well-maintained, creating a peaceful and beautiful environment for relaxation. The pool is gorgeous, and the outdoor living spaces (including a dining area and cozy living room) made it easy to enjoy the perfect Costa Rican weather. The jacuzzi was a highlight, especially after a full day of exploring Arenal and La Fortuna. It was the ideal way to unwind and relax under the stars.The hosts were incredibly responsive to all our needs. Yadi prepared delicious meals for us, and we were able to pre-purchase groceries, so everything was ready and waiting when we arrived. We felt truly taken care of.A special shout-out to Juanquin, who gave us a personal tour of the grounds. He showed us all the fruits growing on the property and even cut down coconuts straight from the tree for us to taste the freshest coconut water we’ve ever had!One of the highlights of our stay was the beautiful pavilion in the garden. We used it for a little yoga and zen time mid-week, which added an extra layer of tranquility to our vacation.Overall, this place offers the perfect blend of adventure and relaxation, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend to anyone looking to explore the Arenal/La Fortuna area while enjoying an incredibly peaceful and unique stay.

Amazing time at the Ranch Villa Arenal
I cannot say enough positive things about our stay. Jorge was an amazing host with amazing staff. Jordy, the concierge was so responsive and helpful with organizing everything for our stay. Yadi, the chef, made the yummiest food for our group and Joaquin, the Gardner, gave us a fun and interactive tour of the property. My husband and friends raved about the house and grounds. Would 100% stay here again!

Amazing Villa
A well built and cared for house situated on an amazing property. This was the perfect vacation get away for my family. Everyone had their own room and bathroom, and we had plenty of places around the property to hang out, play games, or just relax with a beverage. The back veranda was a wonderful place to gather for meals, and the cool ACs in the bedrooms worked great. A short drive to all kinds of La Fortuna activities, and within walking distance to fresh fruit, groceries, restaurant. An amazing place to stay while in Costa Rica!

Magnificent Arenal villa
Nine of us (two families of adults) had a wonderful time at the villa. The grounds are beautifully landscaped and maintained by the ever helpful Joaquin, and the house is kept in great shape by Yadi (who is also an amazing cook). There are enough bedrooms and bathrooms to accommodate a large group easily, and the outdoor living space was spectacular. Our group spread out between the large covered terrace and the pool area. The proximity to Victorino’s is a huge plus!

La Fortuna Stay
We had an excellent time celebrating my dad's 85th birthday. The location was central yet out of the way so it felt private. The staff was super attentive. We had a hickup where I left something at the house when I went back to San Jose and the staff had it messengered over. The food prepped by Yadira was outstanding as well! Thanks for a great time!

This is a lovely property just outside of La Fortuna. Everyone was wonderful and the back yard is beyond beautiful. This is the perfect place for those who don't want a typical tourist experience. It is like living on a plantation in the jungle. We did not want to leave.

Lovely, unique property with responsive staff
This is a lovely, huge house that is perfect for large groups. The backyard/verandah is a feast for the eyes, the bedrooms are comfortable, a very nice sitting room for gatherings and the bathrooms are clean with hot water. Very convenient location, near a grocery store and not too far from all that La Fortuna has to offer. The staff is responsive, helpful and flexible. Jordy was critical to helping plan our excursions and transfers, Yadira made several delicious meals for our group and Juaquin gave us a wonderful tour of the property. Would recommend to anyone who wants a relaxing trip for a big group!

Great Location, Wonderful Staff, Super Stay
Property was beautiful. There were 6 of us and more than enough room. Check-in was easy, everything was clean and kept that way throughout our stay. Joaquin the gardener does not speak English, but very nicely found a sloth in the field behind us, took a picture to show us what he had found, then took us to it. Yadira made lasagna, quiche and empanadas which were all fantastic. Villa is just a short distance from La Fortuna, so was easy to get to everything we wanted to see. Would highly recommend.

Gorgeous Oasis
We absolutely loved staying at this gorgeous well cared for Villa. The grounds were breathtaking. Birdwatching was almost as good as going to a national park. We were 3 families with 6 kids ranging from 10-18. We loved the house, pool, grounds, and farm. Joaquin, the grounds keeper was so friendly and kind even though he spoke minimal English. He proudly showed me around this majestical place. We were traveling all over the country. I wish we could have stayed here longer.

Beautiful Home and Centrally Located
My family and I had a wonderful stay at this home. It was centrally located to most activities which we greatly appreciated (15 min drive to La Fortuna town, Arenal volcano, Tabacon hot springs and Sky Trek Ziplining). The home (including all beds) was very comfortable with a great layout. Simply beautiful property and grounds. The pool with waterfall and jacuzzi was also a nice treat, although we had trouble with the pool filter which was not operating when we arrived. Other than that, we had a fantastic stay and highly recommend this home. The fresh coconuts cut down by Jorge on our last day was a very nice gesture and he was very helpful throughout our stay.

Oasis in La Fortuna
We truly enjoyed our stay at the ranch villa! The backyard was the perfect place to destress with a ton of wildlife and beautiful gardens! The best decision was to have Yadira make us dinner the day of our arrival. We all had the fried talapia and it was the best fish we had on the whole trip.. highly recommend! We also had her cook us breakfast each morning which was amazing. The villa was in perfect location- close enough to walk to stores and an amazing restaurant (victorinos), and an easy drive to the hot springs and arenal volcano. We went on the Don Olivio chocolate/coffee tour which was only a 5 minute drive and a great experience! We could not say enough good things about the backyard and we highly recommend staying at this villa if you are planning a trip to La fortuna!
