Just north of Chachagua village, these immaculate, simple wooden cabins with full kitchens and volcano views are surrounded by private rainforest trails that penetrate the Bosque Eterno de Los Niños. Four newer cabins uphill lack garden ambiance but are more modern.
Ask your hosts, Jorge and Sioni, to point out the sly sloth that sometimes inhabits the guarumo tree near the lobby. Within the grounds, you can take an 800m stroll through the Jardín Botánico Josipek, home to rose gardens, rainforest and medicinal plants, as well as a contemplative labyrinth and a giant plastic brontosaurus.
Villas Josipek is about 10km south of La Fortuna proper.
