About this apartment rental
THE PERFECT "WINTER" IN COSTA RICA! CONSISTENT 65 t0 75F EVERY DAY!! Sunshine, stunning views. See also the reviews for Casita Vivace (VRBO #991709) and Vista Vivace (VRBO #1201627).
PRIVATE WITH LUSH SURROUNDINGS. Our property sits at the end of a quiet country lane on acres of lush semi-tropical landscape with spectacular views of rolling mountains, and the Gulf of Nicoya. This immaculate single-story, 800 sq' apartment is fully furnished and includes outdoor covered patio, living room, full kitchen with dining bar, ground floor queen bedroom, full bathroom, laundry and private parking.
This beautiful apartment is part of Hacienda Vivace, a spectacular main home. The apartment is fully furnished, Starlink wifi, all utilities and private parking are included. We have an indoor solar heated lap pool in the main Hacienda that we share with guests. There are also two large public pools in San Ramon.
Our property is located on the outskirts of San Ramon in the quaint area of Magallanes, a mix of Costa Rican and expat residents. The area is quiet, safe and private, yet just 5 minutes to downtown San Ramon. The gardens are tended with care by the owners and provide an ambiance of beauty and tranquility.
San Ramon is a 'muy tranquilo' provincial town of 20,000 that welcomes travelers with a graceful sense of pride and slow pace of life. The town offers it all -- a weekly farmers market, supermarkets, shops, restaurants, bars, museums, as well as major hospital, and a University of Costa Rica campus.
We are in a non-touristy area a day trip to many tourist attractions: from the volcanos Poas and Arenal, Manuel Antonio, beaches, canopy tours, sugar cane and coffee plantation tours, hiking and bird-watching.
Pickleball friendly with 3 venues within 5 to 10 minutes.

Large, clean, and has a wonderful patio (with now mature landscaping and covered patio unlike online photo). Hosts are on-site and very helpful and responsive, with lots of info and recommendations for local resources. We enjoyed watching the birds, butterflies, and other wildlife while relaxing on the patio. Close to San Ramon, a beautiful little city, and perfect weather. Like most places here, bring insect repellent for the midges and mosquitoes (unless you are one of those people who never get bitten). And if using Google Maps to get here, when it says you have arrived, you are actually at the neighbor’s drive, and your destination is the next drive ahead on the left!

Comfy, cozy, private in a beautiful setting where you can have your morning coffee while looking at the Bay of Nicoya or the surrounding pastoral setting: That's Bella Vivace! It's clean, spacious, well equipped, and the hosts are very accommodating. Everything you need is here for a enjoyable Costa Rican vacation. Centrally located so it's easy to get to the popular tourist spots without having to be surrounded by tourists the entire time. We highly recommend Bella Vivace!

Overall I was very satisfied with my stay and with my hosts Nancy and Andy, in San Ramon. The Belle Vivance, one bedroom Casita was very clean, the right size and level of comfort I expected. The gardens were well maintained and absolutely stunning! The sunsets were MAGICAL. Nancy and Andy were very accommodating and hospitable. Would I stay there again? Absolutely!
However, I would like to point out a few misleading marketing claims listed: One being, “Pet Friendly”. This place is certainly NOT pet friendly. JAKE, their much older large, male dog, aggressively and continuously attached my small dog RICO, (chihuahua) many times, putting him and myself at risk of being physically harmed. After many failed attempts, of requesting that my hosts secure JAKE on a leash for our SAFETY, finally, they addressed the issue and found a solution.
Misleading marketing issue #2. The advertisement suggested that there was an indoor pool, YES there is, however it’s a LAP pool located inside their home. I did not feel comfortable entering their private home everyday, to swim. This was very disappointing as I expected to continue my exercise routine, while I was there. I felt very mislead Therefore, the pool was never used by any of the guests in the three apartments.
Misleading marketing issue #3. There was absolutely no PRIVACY. I had a beautiful patio, (as advertised, but certainly NOT private). it was the main traffic area for the owner and his workers.
