About this villa rental
This home is surrounded by tropical paradise, with maximum privacy, and has fantastic panoramic views of the mountains and valley below. Located in a gated community with one of the few heated swimming pools in the area, near the small town of Atenas which is only 30 minutes away from the Juan Santamaria airport in San Jose. Thousands of lights across the valley come to light at night time. It is located inside a protected forestall reserve with luxurious vegetation, precious trees - like the Guanacaste (the national tree) and other flowering trees, offering a powerful mixture of colors. Wildlife is plentiful with a large variety of hummingbirds that feed daily on the flowers and Toucans.
The house has been constructed with extensive use of giant bamboo (guadua), and it is divided into two separate structures. The main structure has the large master bedroom on the 2nd floor, while the living/dining rooms, modern kitchen with all appliances are on the main floor. Within this main house there is a separate den/study room on a lower level that provides an additional relaxing area to enjoy.
The 2nd structure contains two separate bedrooms each with a private bath. The main structure has a large wrap-around porch to provide separate areas with hammocks and rustic furniture for your enjoyment. This is a great area for use of the gas grill and to enjoy some meals outdoors. The lush garden area will add to your enjoyment. You can relax in our large, pool (solar panels) with ambient temperature that is located between the two structures.
You will enjoy visiting the town of Atenas that is known for its friendly and helpful people. Visit the outdoor market that offers delicious local fruits, vegetables, and seafood or dine in one of the various cafes to taste the local food specialties. Or just go and sit in the peaceful Central Park and visit with the locals or just watch the people go by. In addition, Atenas has been rated the best place to retire abroad by AARP has been ranked by the National Geographic Magazine as having one of the best climates in the world!

Beautiful and relaxing. The host was most helpful.

The property exceeded our expectations. The layout of the main house and guest house is perfect, the beds are comfortable and the outdoor furniture and pool was awesome. The home is located in a lovely neighborhood full of wonder residents. The climate was absolutely perfect. We enjoyed our 4 weeks in Costa Rica with a property manager (Eunice) that responded swiftly to any need which was raised during our stay. Three sets of friends and family joined us during the stay and the guest house was perfect! Eunice went above and beyond by providing a crib for our 15-month old grandson!!
The property is well manicured and maintained with housekeeping, ground maintenance and pool cleaning weekly. The house was cleaned weekly and we were delighted with the results!
The property and neighborhood have beautiful flora and wildlife. A pair of Tucans visited almost daily and the resident Iguanas were a treat. We even saw a pair of white faced monkeys in the trees near the entrance to the neighborhood. During Jan, the flowering trees and shrubs are ever changing and beautiful and winds helped to create the perfect environment and temperature.
We walked to the town of Atenas several times to grab a pastry from the numerous bakeries and stop by Smoothie Queen for the best Aqua Sandia ever!! It’s really not that hard of a walk back up the hill to the property!
We absolutely loved our stay and would highly recommend this property!

We arrived at the property very late in the evening and were not sure what to expect since our gps took us through some interesting back roads, but we found the property to be even more beautiful than the pictures had described. The property managers were very quick to respond to any questions or needs that we had. The beds were very comfortable, the kitchen was well appointed, and the view was amazing. We would have loved to stay much longer than our three nights.
6 / 10Average·Mar 2024
Once a nice property, now in a state of disrepair. Water pressure is dismal, send several emails to property manager about the water pressure, to no avail. Stairs and stair rail leading from house to pool are dangerous, especially at night, poorly light. Step to exterior rooms is uneven at ground level and again while cleaning staff do their best, still grubby.
On the plus side, view is incredible, temperature was magnificent, and the veranda with the rocking chairs very comfortable.
