Villa Encantada is located on Lake Arenal in the Central Highlands of the Guanacaste Province of Costa Rica. Only 1 hour from the Liberia Airport and 3.5 hours from San Jose, Villa Encantada's private Lake front estate is close to many of the country's top destinations. Lake Arenal's elevation is 2,000 ft, and the average temp is a springlike 78 degrees F year round. The village of Nuevo Arenal has 2,500 inhabitants and this is a great local to get away from the hectic tourist crowds, and beat the heat at the beaches, but yet near enough to all of the major parks and beaches for easy day excursions. The always active Arenal Volcano is a safe 15 miles from the villa, and Monteverde is nearby as well. This rain forest climate is refreshing and the village is as friendly a place as you'll find. If you want to get away from the crowds and experience the real Costa Rica~~ this IS the place to do it. There are a great many activities in the immediate area as well. Come, relax & enjoy!

Notes:

We've coined a term called 'casual elegance', which is to say that Villa Encantada has an upscale, enchanting, magical presence to it. It's decorated with a Central American theme of antiques, indigenous masks, colorful tapestries, and lots of glass to give the feeling of being immersed in nature. We've found that more and more travelers are trying to escape the well beaten path of tourist traps and are looking for a place to get away from it all, and to experience the real Costa Rica and it's friendly people. The village of Nuevo Arenal offers that great escape, yet easy day trips to top attractions are well within reach. This is the best of both worlds! We've been renting Villa Encantada for 12 years now and have hosted thousands of guests, a great many of them have visited numerous times and referred friends. Almost without exception we hear again and again, 'This place is awesome and we'll be back'. It's our pleasure and we're proud to be a part of your travel experience.
