Experience Costa Rica, Welcomed Like Family
I’m Gustavo, and A&E Living Gardens is a project I now share with my mother, Rosibel.
I’ve had the opportunity to travel across more than 40 countries and over 200 cities around the world, and together we’ve explored more than 20 countries and close to 100 cities. Those journeys have shaped the way we understand what it truly means to feel welcomed far from home.
That is exactly what we want to recreate here in Costa Rica.
We are a Costa Rican family, and we host with warmth, care, and authenticity, inviting you to experience this country in a more personal and meaningful way.
Because the best trips are not just about where you go, but how you are welcomed.
Private chef and in villa dining experiences
Access to exclusive hot springs and hidden local gems
Tailored trip planning with personalized concierge support
Curated experiences across Costa Rica
Thoughtful local recommendations beyond the expected
A&E Living Gardens was born from a simple idea:
To host people the way we would host a friend in our own home. Created by a local Costa Rican family, this project is more than a place to stay, it's a way to experience La Fortuna through real connections, curated experiences, and a deep love for this land. We don’t just offer villas. We help you live Costa Rica the right way.
