It’s like coming home to family, Giovanni and Luis are the most amazing hosts, warm, welcoming, the whole place represents tranquility, downtime, beautiful surroundings and the best Margarita I have ever had made by Luis. I recommend this place whole heartedly to anyone. The lodges are great and all surrounded by dense foliage, amazing sounds as dusk settles. Thank you both for making our holiday so good. .

Staying at Villa San Rafael was an exquisite experience. Giovanni and Luis received us in a wonderfull way (even Thor in is doggy way participated) and helped us with all what we needed for an unforgattable vacation. Giovanni helped us to visit the nearby "el bosque eterno de los niños", a must when you are staying at the hotel, and also the eco-termales nea lor the Arenal Volcano. During this visits we saw more animals in wildlife condition then we saw in our whole life. Breakfast was included but even then really exquisite, and a wonderful way to begin the day. I hope I can repeat it with the rest of my family, and I can fully recommend it to anyone who travels to the beautiful lands of Costa Rica.

Great stay about 30 min drive from busy and touristy La Fortuna town. The hosts were phenomenal: accommodating, friendly, everything was taken care of. Great homemade food! What a wonderful stay, will return in the future for sure.

What a wonderful stay and experience. Giovanni and Luis made us feel like family. You can feel the love and thought in all the details of the landscape. Gio’s passion for nature was infectious. The property was cozy, peaceful and clean. The food was delicious and fresh. Many herbs and ingredients used to cook were from his property. We had such a great experience and can’t wait to go back!

Hospitality is a top priority here. All our wishes were immediately fulfilled by Giovanni and his staff, whether it was about eating or laundry. The apartment had everything it needed, everything was very clean and the beds were comfortable. The location is quiet, the garden beautiful and supermarkets are nearby. Me and my daughters would come back any time.

I have stayed in various hotels over the years in Costa Rica and this place is by far one of my favorite spots! The host was incredibly kind and the rooms were very clean with a great view off of the balcony. The food was also very delicious, Giovanni and Luis had offered some garbanzos with rice that had been locally sourced. While dining we had an amazing conversation with both. Really looking forward to staying here again in the future. Lovely stay!

We stayed at this property in October 2022. Hotel is super clean with amazing staff with super nice nature around and easy to access to all other sights as La Fortuna and Vulcano. if you travel to Costarica I can only say that this property is a must stay. thank you

Just be aware it is not air conditioned, which is not needed but some Americans might feel they need that. It was comfortable, people were so kind and the place was super clean. it is in the rain forest area, the beauty is beyond belief. Great food was served. Overall I would give a high score but with how most rate it would be a 3 because of everything they want. If you want to get away, and relax and not deal, well come here, lay back and let go.

I'm not one to overpraise and, frankly, I'm wary of overly-positive reviews. But SR Ecolodge exceeded all expectations. Splendid location, superb family-type service, away from the crowd. Couldn't be happier. Thank you Giovani and Louis!
