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!

My goodness- where to start. This is a magical place. So much so we changed out plans and extended our stay by a night. It made it hard to leave to see the sites in the area. The house is lovely cared for, the beds are very comfortable and outdoor living spacings and pool/spa are perfect and the grounds are stunning. Yadi cooked most breakfasts and dinners for our large family which allowed more time for us to connect and enjoy as family. We hope to find a reason to return. Do not hesitate to book.

WONDERFUL property! Large home with tons of privacy. We had a group of 7 adult family members and there was room for more! Great amenities, welcoming staff, yard was FULL of fruit trees and flowers! We had Armita BBQ a dinner for us and it was fantastic! We were treated to a garden tour by Joaquin and he cut down fresh coconuts and served them to us with a straw! It was MAGICAL!

Very peaceful and beautiful. All the staff was great! Jordy was extremely helpful in setting up our excursions. You must have meals prepared by Yadi and Estella. Joaquin the grounds keeper was so sweet bringing us fresh coconut water and fruit off the property trees. Would definitely stay here again.

Amazing experience. Would love to come back.

Amazing house, more space than we could even use, the host team was great, and the home cooked dinners and breakfasts (arranged with Yadi, the amazing woman who lives in a separate home on the property) were the best food we had in CR. The place was spotless, perfect, and a very easy ten minute drive to everything in Fortuna. Loves it.

The house and grounds were beautiful and so well kept. The backyard and pool area was the perfect spot to hang out after a long day of adventure. We had one meal prepared by Yadi which was delicious! Another plus of the villa were restaurants and grocery stores well within walking distance. Will absolutely consider Rancho Villa Arenal for future visits.
