A quiet place to come back to.

Villas Vilma sits two kilometers west of La Fortuna on the road to Arenal Volcano. It is a family establishment, calm and green, with a pool and a covered jacuzzi surrounded by tropical gardens that the hummingbirds and butterflies have also agreed to call home.

Every room opens onto a private terrace with views of Arenal and Cerro Chato. The town is a short drive away when you want it, and far enough when you don't.

Eight rooms, one view.

Four room types, each opening onto a private terrace with Arenal in front of you. The only real difference is how many of you are traveling.

“We had a wonderful stay at Villas Vilma. The location is absolutely amazing, right in front of the volcano, which made every morning view feel magical. It's very family-friendly and perfect if you're traveling with kids. The space was comfortable, peaceful, and surrounded by beautiful nature. If you want a place close to the volcano with a cozy, family atmosphere, this is a great choice. We would definitely stay here again!”

“Beautiful villa to stay right outside La Fortuna. Immaculate grounds. Wildlife to watch right from the porch or the hammock. There's a little coffee pot, fridge and some dishes for those who don't want to eat out all the time. Within walking distance of sodas and souvenir shops, and tour packages will pick you up from here. Nice pool and hot tub as well. Great place to stay!”

“The pool and hot tub were amazing. You're surrounded by a tropical oasis. The staff at the front desk are truly some of the best I have ever encountered. Every need was accommodated, from taxis to recommendations. The place and the staff were truly amazing. I have nothing bad to say about this place.”

“Villas Vilma is a wonderful property! We loved that it was on the edge of town, so it was quiet and had a nice view of the volcano, just a few minutes' walk from restaurants and a grocery store. We stayed with kids, so we appreciated the front lawn to kick around a soccer ball and a hammock on the porch to relax after the day's activities. The rooms are very clean, the beds comfortable, and it includes a few kitchen items. This place is a gem!”
