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.
This house has abundant charm. The location provided a pleasant, peaceful, quiet getaway. Close enough to town for convenience, but far enough away to feel safe and secure. Six year old grandson loved the pool. Great place to stay for rest and relaxation. We would definitely stay here again.
Great location for simply relaxing. Thank you hosts for allowing us to check-in after hours.
Enjoyed the view even though it will get dark after 5:30 pm. Need to wake up at 5:30 am to enjoy the sunrise.
Our first trip to Costa Rica did not disappoint.
This property we called home for 8 days.
Comfort and style this home had both with incredible views that were always changing. Fully landscaped and the pool was incredible.
Guida and John are the perfect hosts.
They are extremely helpful and knowledgeable.
We enjoyed having them close by.
Pura Vida
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!

Breathtaking Views in Beutiful Atenas
The view is one of the most beautiful you will find in all of Costa Rica. However, the descriptions are very misleading. The host's house is literally footsteps away. The pool is shared and felt as if we had no privacy. We didnt use the pool much for that reason. On multiple days we were awakended by drills and loud noises. The washroom was not available for use. They did the laundry for you, which is nice but we had to leave home with wet clothes in our suitcase because we couldnt dry them. John and Guida are very sweet people, however we were not satisfied. The communication was very poor also. If it wasnt for the view, the rating would have been lower. The location is great also. We felt very safe. Lots of great local restaraunts and markets. I love the city of Atenas and will definatly be back. Unfortunately, not to this property.
Our stay here was nice and the view is unlike anything else we saw while traveling around Costa Rica. The hosts were super friendly and welcoming and if we needed anything they always responded in a timely manner. There are some things that I think are important to point out about this property but in no way did any of these things ruin our stay.
The property is gated but is situated in close proximity to the hosts house, with the pool area being almost like a shared space even though there is a bamboo privacy wall around the hosts portion of the pool you are still occupying the same space.
They do have a dog who will come and go as she pleases who is extremely friendly but would bark early in the morning which sometimes felt like it went on for hours.
If it’s your first time traveling to Costa Rica and you would like to stay somewhere that the hosts are trustworthy and knowledgeable then I would recommend staying with them. We did a lot of traveling around Costa Rica while we stayed here and it was nice to come back every night and relax in the yard but we did end up having to spend a lot of time in the car being that it’s pretty far from anything we did.
We had a fantastic time at this house! It had everything we needed and more. Our hosts John and Guida were really great, and very responsive. We couldn’t recommend this place more.

house is old and worn
the house is configured with 2 other houses. it is noisy because of the work being done and their dog barking. i was embarrassed to stay there.
The views were amazing, we arrived at night and were in awe of the view, when we woke in the morning our jaws dropped at the beautiful view in the daylight. If you are looking for a peaceful, clean property with an excellent view, you have found it! The house guide to town and sights was extremely helpful and the house had a great set up for cooking and family meals!
Unforgettable Experience in a Beautiful Home with Amazing Hosts
This property lives up to (and exceeds) the pictures in the listing. It was an authentic 'Costa Rican" experience. Atenas had some great restaurants and the home was emaculate. Everything was very clean, well stocked, and the owners were very attentive to every need and went above and beyond to ensure a wonderful stay. Highly recommend!
Great location in the mountains with awesome views of the valley and San Jose (especially at night). Truly, the story is true about Atenas having the best climate. The hosts, Guida and John were the best. They made sure we had everything we needed, actually they went above and beyond. We will definitely be back!
This was our best rental so far! and we rent every summer... The property is stunning. Perfect location. Quiet. The host is attentive and caring; gave us great tips and what to see. Where to eat. Overall incredible experience. I actually have nothing to complain about! We loved it.

Spectacular Views!
I've been to Costa Rica a few times and I can say, without a doubt, that this was by far the best experience I've ever had. Dealing with Guida and John was such a breath of fresh air as they have everything set up for you upon arrival and made us feel right at home. The property is absolutely stunning and has everything you need. The ever changing views are spectacular! We can't wait to come back and visit! You will not be disappointed if you choose this amazing place.
My job happened to get very busy right when arrived so I worked the whole time. Internet was good enough for a video chat & email. Kitchen was sufficient to cook and the view was amazing. Good hosts, nice people, wish I spent more time there.
We stayed with Guida and John for a week. It was 4 of us. We really enjoyed the house and the views are spectacular. Both Guida and John and the most wonderful hosts. They live on the property, in the house that is pretty much adjacent to the rental and they are extremely attentive, easy to chat with, and very kind. We could not ask for better hosts. We would absolutely recommend you book your stay with them. You will not regret it.
Fantastic property with incredible views. Home and surrounding property were pristine. Peaceful, quiet setting in the hills with a wide vista overlooking the valley. Gracious hosts John and Guida are nearby and welcomed us with a lovely note & bottle of wine. Really enjoyed their sweet dog Leika as well. Used a private driver for our excursions and always loved returning to this paradise at the end of the day. So grateful for the experience and their hospitality. We would definitely return!
Wonderful property and the views: WOW! Conveniently close to town but far enough you don’t get traffic noise! The whole house is lovely and well maintained!
The pool was a tiny chilly as there is a good breeze being up so high, however we still enjoyed it! Our hosts were very helpful with recommendations on places to see and eat! So appreciated that! Could’ve stayed another week!!!
This area is more ex-pat than it is touristy, which we really enjoyed. We LOVE the people of Costa Rica- and the slow lifestyle is something we could deftget used to!!! Great vacation!!!
The property and the view from the property was breathtaking and did not disappoint! Our stay at this property was nothing short of welcoming and glorious! The morning sun to the evening/night clouds were amazingly gorgeous! The clouds that continually changed the landscape was nothing like we've ever experienced! Guida and John were great! We experienced some minor miscommunications, but, were able to move past them! Overall, we were satisfied our stay at this property. Highly recommend a stay at this magnificent property!
The house was quite clean and comfortable. The hosts went out of their way to make everything great for us and had wonderful recommendations on everything from activities to restaurants to the best place to get meat. Our meal prepared by the Chef Olsen del Toro was out of this world. Would definitely recommend! Could not have been happier with our choice to stay there and hope to be able to go back. Oh, and the weather temperature is perfect all the time. It did rain in the afternoons but it is that time of year.

Charming and viw to die for!
Stayed here 4 nights in November with 2 friends. We loved the property and views so much we really didn't want to do much except hang there using the pool, watching the cows, and reading our books. The home has so many beautiful touches, many brought from Portugal by the owner as well as photos from her well known photographer husband! We were so warmly welcomed by Guida and John, a welcome basket on arrival and sharing a wonderful conversation our last night. I hope to see them again next year when I return!

We fall in love with the mountain where the property is located. The house is secluded and feels very safe. It has stunning views day and night! My husband and I enjoyed so much drinking our cups of coffee in the morning. John and Guida are wonderful hosts and were available to guide us during our stay in regards to tours and places to visit. Costa Rica is a beautiful Country and for sure we will return and even consider the possibility of retiring in this Country. Book your stay you won’t regret it! Thanks again John and Guida and God bless. Pedro & Lilly
