The Villa Hermosa
Private Guesthouses
The Villa Hermosa is the perfect property for a family, couple or group looking for a quiet retreat after an action packed day;
The Villa Hermosa is a VRBO (HomeAway) Premier Host, a TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice Winner, and an Airbnb SuperHost.
We rent to one family (or group) at a time; when you rent the Villa, you get the whole Villa.
The primary guesthouse, also called 'The Villa Hermosa', features a main bedroom with king and queen beds and sleeps 4 people. This Villa includes an outdoor living & dining area for cooking (& BBQ'ing), birdwatching, reading, online work/play, board games (we have a selection) & just hanging out.
The second guesthouse, 'The Villa Toucan', is furnished with queen and single beds and sleeps 3 people.
Both guesthouses have full-bathrooms.
Clean, Safe & Healthy
Your Health is our Priority
We go above and beyond to ensure that the cabins are clean & disinfected from top to bottom (using a combination of anti-viral/anti-bacterial & green cleaning products - Airbnb Enhanced Clean Certified).
We believe the cleaning is in the details and take the extra time to do a calm and thorough cleaning of the cabins & premises between guest stays.
The Service You Want
The Privacy You Need
The owner (or property manager) stays in a private house on the property and is available (upon request) to assist with personal driver, car rental, tours and activity information.

Judah and Michelle were absolutely lovely hosts.
Their property is beautiful and private but close to great restaurants and resorts.
They graciously provided amazing food and activity recommendations.
The outdoor living space was perfect for enjoying Costa Rica's natural landscape. 10/10 stay!

Villa Hermosa is out of the hustle and bustle of La Fortuna, yet with great access to all the fun adventures to be had in this area of Costa Rica.
The Villa is a peaceful and gorgeous retreat, even better than the photos.
Perfect location to The Springs hot springs and two incredible restaurants, Jalapa and Dona Luisa.
Sadly the clouds prevented us from seeing volcan arenal, but we could feel the mighty presence of the volcano!
Judah and his mom Michelle are truly sweet and caring hosts, they gave us plenty of privacy and at the same time were so helpful with advice and recommendations.
We were traveling with teens and they really loved having their own space at the separate cabin.
Also, the drive from San Jose is just stunning, right through the cloud forests.
I highly recommend staying here!!!

Where to start?
The place is wonderful, the garden is phenomenal, it feels like a botanical garden: the walks on the garden trails are very pleasant, you will see birds (toucans, hummingbirds, parrots and many more).
The house is very well arranged, tastefully decorated, there is even a pool table and a game of darts. the kitchen is open to the garden and the pool, it's beautiful.
The bedding is excellent and the king size beds.
The Wifi connection is excellent, a Supermarket is 300m away.
It's by far the most beautiful AirBnb we've done.
Judah and Michelle are very welcoming hosts, of such kindness, always caring with us.
Judah booked us and advised us on some activities.
They are so endearing that we will miss them!
We recommend this place 1000%!

This was our third stay at Judah's place, but will not be our last.
It's the perfect location to stay while visiting the La Fortuna area, and Judah once again was a plethora of recommendations and helpful discounted rates on things like shuttles, accom along the way, and rental car.
The outdoor living space and private pool area together truly act as a tropical paradise.
I can't recommend this accommodation enough.

This is a beautiful property! Judah described it well and has accurate photos.
What stands out the most about this Airbnb is there are so many little things done just right - darkening shades so you can sleep past the sunrise at 5:30 am, lots of kitchen supplies including tupperware and bowls to put your food, a grill, beach towels, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, etc.
Judah was very helpful with directions and suggestions on things to do.
Even though it is shared space with the owners, we still had plenty of privacy and never felt that they were intruding on our time and space there.
The pool and garden are beautiful! It was very relaxing there.
Our teens loved having their own casita and loved hearing howler monkeys in the early morning hours.
This location was farther from La Fortuna that we realized (around 30-35 minutes).
Now with your own car it is fine, but it is good to know when booking that it is not right in the town of La Fortuna.

Judah's place is the definition of serenity!
Extremely beautiful, quaint place that was really easy to get comfortable in.
Eli greeted us immediately and showed us the beautiful sanctuary!
Judah was always responsive and helpful with any need we had.
The place is worth every penny and the drive up or down to town is absolute devine!
We will definitely be back! 10/10
