Birdsong Villa. Romantic Suite w/ Jacuzzi & Volcano View.

Nestled on a lush and secluded hilltop, with spectacular views of Lake Arenal, Arenal Volcano and the Children’s Eternal Rain Forest, Birdsong Villa welcomes you to little piece of paradise. Experience an unforgettable holiday in one of Costa Rica’s premier travel destinations.

Accommodation: Birdsong Villa is a unique and luxurious accommodation that offers you the flexibility to rent one or both floors of the villa. This listing is ONLY for the SLOTH SUITE.

The Sloth Suite is located on the upper floor of the villa with a private entrance. The suite has an open concept, with a large main room for dining, living and sleeping. There is a queen bed and a pull out couch that accommodates 1 extra adult or 2 children. There are large glass windows that provide stunning 180-degree views of the volcano, lake and rainforest.

The Suite offers luxury and elegance with the comforts of home, including satellite TV, high speed wifi internet. It has a modern bathroom with a walk-in rain shower (big enough for two!), with excellent water pressure and temperature. The toilet is in a separate room adjacent to the sink. You can also enjoy the outdoor rock shower in a completely enclosed and private area.

The modern kitchen provides all the cooking amenities of home. Refrigerator, stove with oven, microwave, toaster and drip coffee maker.

As you sit out on the observation deck and the sunshine warms your skin, close your eyes and listen to the melody of the birds and howler monkeys, all set against the rushing waters of the Piedras Negras river and nearby waterfalls.

Location: Birdsong Villa is only 3 hours (150km) from two international airports, either in the capital of San Jose, or on the northern pacific coast in Liberia. Birdsong Villa is just 30 minutes from La Fortuna, which offers amenities such as grocery, banking, post office, restaurants, hot springs, excursions and much more.

Things to do: Experience the ultimate Costa Rican holiday with some of our recommended day trips. The Arenal area has it all, from zip-lining, horse riding, hot springs, butterfly conservatory, kayaking and paddle boarding, fishing, hiking, birding, and more. Everything you could ask for is less than an hour away so you will spend more time enjoying your holiday and less time driving. Our concierge is always available at our new and modern Welcome Center to help you book tours, find the best restaurants, book a massage and get the most out of your time in the area.

GETTING AROUND: You will want a 4WD vehicle. The last drive up to the house is a road made of gravel and rocks. When it rains there are potholes. You will be a lot happier with a 4WD here and in most areas of Costa Rica. While there are a couple of things to see and one restaurant within walking distance of the house, there are many activities that require a 10 to 45 minute drive. You will not be happy waiting for a cab to arrive either coming of going.

Beautiful Properry
The Sloth Suite at Birdsong Villas was fantastic! Although the rain and fog didn’t allow us to see the volcano, the grounds and property were beautiful. Agustin was wonderful to work with - communications were speedy and welcoming. The Phoenix restaurant on the hill and El Patio at the bottom of the hill were great options for dinners during our short stay. Convenient proximity to La Fortuna and the surrounding activities.

Top of the World!
We spent 3 nights at Birdsong Villa and greatly enjoyed our stay, even though the weather was rainier than we would have preferred. Prior to the clouds closing in, the views were amazing. Both showers (indoor and outdoor) were great, and we also enjoyed the jetted tub. The access road to the villa was an adventure; fortunately we rented a four wheel drive vehicle with decent ground clearance.

Best view!
We loved our short stay at Birdsong villa and only wished it could have been longer. The view is fantastic, the area very quiet, and there was a nice small restaurant nearby where we had our dinners. We didn't use the bath / Jacuzzi because it looked like it would going to take a very long time to fill up. Check in was very easy and the property manager couldn't have been more helpful.

Beautiful views!
It was very beautiful! Be prepared for a lot of insects in the suite though ( it is in the middle of the rainforest😉) Jacuzzi tub takes a very long time to fill, but was still nice because it was surrounded by windows and beautiful views. The kitchen is not well accommodated for cooking but there are many restaurants nearby. There is even one that you can walk to within five minutes. This property is all about the views and we enjoyed them every day.

Paradise
The property was clean and well appointed. The surroundings are out of a fairytale. The property has the ability to transport you to another reality. It was enchanting. We went to Monteverde, Arenal, and Playa Flamingo, but this was the place we fell in love with. Augustin was pleasant, kind, and patient. He never made us feel rushed. We will be back.

Description doesn’t do the place justice
Stunning location and beautiful views. We ate our meals at The Phoenix restaurant, and hiked back up the hill to Birdsong. That part was difficult and the 50 stairs up to the property can be a challenge to. However it was all completely worth it. We hired someone to drive us and not having a vehicle to get up and down the hill left us feeling a bit stranded. However we would stay here again if the opportunity came along. Very clean environment and a magical experience.

Spectacular views!!
Even better than pictured! Exceeded our expectations. Breakfast included at Nepenthe was a bonus. Very friendly staff. Wood fired pizza. 4 wheel drive is a must. Loved sitting out on the observatory deck. This place is awesome!!

A little slice of Costa Rican heaven!
After a rough and bumpy drive up the hill, this place sits atop a hill with a fantastic view of both the Arenal Volcano and Lake Arenal. The grounds are perfectly manicured and the vegetation and flowers are absolutely beautiful. Inside the house, you'll have a 180 degree view thanks to floor to ceiling windows on 3 sides of the living area. While there is a hot tub in the corner, it really is not usable as the water flow is extremely slow. The same is true of the outdoor rock shower, although it adds a lot of character. However, that did not impact our love of this place. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
