Private Villa for 8 Guests:
Check-in time at our villa is from 3:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Please plan your arrival within this period to ensure a smooth reception and to enjoy your stay without any issues.
Villa Description:
Imagine waking up to freshly brewed Costa Rican coffee and breathing in fresh air while enjoying a view of picturesque mountains. Then, spend the afternoon relaxing in a private infinity pool with solar heating. Does that sound like paradise? Because it is.
This private and gated villa is located in a safe, quiet, and peaceful neighborhood, surrounded by landscaped gardens and beautiful scenery. The villa features European-inspired decor and floor-to-ceiling windows. Experience a taste of Pura Vida.
Bedroom Layout:
All the bedrooms have Queen-sized beds. Upon arrival, we offer a complimentary breakfast that includes fruits, coffee, milk, sugar, bread, butter, cheese, and a bottle of wine. INTERNATIONAL CHEF AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST FOR AN ADDITIONAL COST.
- The master bedroom overlooks the garden and is equipped with a 60" TV, a comfortable Queen bed, and a private full bathroom with a bathtub and separate shower.
- The junior bedroom has a 40" TV and a Queen bed.
- The third bedroom also has a Queen bed and garden views, plus a game center with a variety of board games: poker, Monopoly, roulette, chess, and checkers.
The second bathroom includes a shower and vanity area.
- A fourth bedroom is located adjacent to the main villa. It has a Queen bed, private bathroom, TV, and outdoor access.
Amenities and Equipment:
- The TVs have access to 60 channels, and the villa has WiFi throughout the house.
- There is an office corner with an ergonomic chair, scanner, and printer.
- The open-concept kitchen, with high ceilings, creates a sense of spaciousness. It is fully equipped with a dishwasher, stovetop oven, microwave, toaster oven, refrigerator, and a full sink.
- From the dining room, which seats six, you can step out onto the patio for a drink. The patio includes outdoor seating and a grill.
Extras:
- There is a laundry area on-site.
- The villa is very secure, surrounded by six outdoor security cameras, and the owners live next door. Despite this, you will have complete privacy, as the houses are separated by a morning glory and bamboo wall. We are discreet and peaceful.
Surroundings:
- There are excellent restaurants in the area, including one half a mile away with an incredible view that serves late.
- Many takeout spots are easily accessible by taxi at a very affordable fare.

Amazing

My daughter and I flew to Costa Rica for a long weekend to visit my son who is in college in San Jose for the semester. This property was perfect for our little reunion. Plenty of space, beautiful views way up in the hills, and a pool. The owners were very helpful and charming. Liked that the house had a local flavor and not generic like most hotels and many other rentals were. Nice restaurants in town. Was central to our day trips.

The property was very beautiful and you could tell a lot of time and love went into the landscaping! If you just want a place to relax and totally enjoy the scenery, this villa is definitely for you! The view was beautiful everyday! We were unsure of the no a/c but being on the mountainside was a/c enough for March! The owners are next door and though it was a little different from other Vrbos we have stayed in, it was nice to have someone looking out for us in a country we had not been to before. I would recommend renting the house and the two extra rooms to have the property entirely to yourselves. I already have friends looking to visit Costa Rica and stay in Atenas in this villa! This was our granddaughters first trip out of the country and they are ready to go back. I would recommend a rental vehicle that has more horsepower than a lawn mower! It is a trek to go up the mountains. I would definitely go back!

What I loved about this property was the incredible view, the friendliness and how welcoming the hosts were, we were very appreciative of the basket of fruit and goodies as well as all of the information on the local restaurants, attractions and what to expect in the area in general.
What I disliked about this property was I do not feel it should be advertised as privately as it is since the host does live just right next to where you stay, there was quite a bit of noise just from their comings and goings as well as the noise of the maintenance personel. The host also has a very friendly dog who barked quite often during our stay. The pool was unfortunately a little too chilly to be enjoyed however it did rain quite a bit which I'm sure did not help to maintain a comfortable temperature.
The house itself was not the cleanest, all the chairs had a lot of crumbs in them and the placemats and counters were a bit dirty as well. The beds are very firm and not too comfortable and there is no AC in the rooms.
Overall the hosts friendliness and the view were 5 star, but the house itself I would rate maybe a 2 or 3 star. We enjoyed our stay but will be seeking different accommodations next time we visit.
