Wonderful Mountain Views Studio

We got to the property, in the dark, many hours later than we expected and were greeted by two wonderful hosts! Guida and John were exceptionally kind, more than willing to share their suggestions of places to visit and making us feel immediately at home and welcome! The studio was perfect for us. All the amenities one could need, from beach towels to a bathroom with floor to ceiling glass looking out toward San Jose, many, many km's in the distance! This is a perfect place to drop out! It was peaceful, quiet and the views were serene. We loved watching the cows on the hill as they came and went and the toucans that perched right out our window. The grounds around the property were professionally maintained and absolutely beautiful! Each day something new was blooming. Guida and John shared with us their love of the beautiful tropical plants and we especially loved the orchids that put on a show while we were there! We instantly became friends with Guida and John, even dining out together a few times! They are fascinating individuals and were a delight to get to know! Come, you will be refreshed and won't want to leave!

I’m pretty sure I’ve fallen in love…both with the property and our wonderful hosts. Our expectations were exceeded throughout. Guida and John are so lovely and their property is just magnificent. Between the endless view and the magical well-manicured gardens and the comfortable accommodations we felt at home and at peace. A bonus was a platter of fresh fruit, bread and coffee waiting for us upon arrival. So thoughtful. I know that we will be coming back…hopefully very, very soon. I honestly could not recommend this property and these delightful hosts more. Thank you so much Guida and John. Even though I know we will see you again I will never forget you.

The location at the top of the hill has amazing views of the Central Valley. The accommodations are basic but a welcome bottle of wine, snacks, butter and milk for coffee are nice touches. However, there is no air conditioning and the windows face due east. In the morning, that means bright sun directly into the sleeping space. There are aluminum blinds which help lessen the sunlight a bit, but unfortunately they rattle loudly if the wind blows and vents are open to let in fresh air. The biggest complaint was the lack of hot water. We were never able to complete even a short shower without the hot water running out, if there was any to start with.

The property was beautiful, very quiet and private, the little town down the road was very quiet, as well great restaurants. Host couple were very sweet and informational people would definitely stay there again.
