Summary: I came here to rest and relax after a huge accomplishment. The beautiful landscape and the cozy house was spectacular. Who needs tv when I could sit by the pool for hours just watching the hillside and all the nature around. Piet and Yvonne were so helpful and accommodating. I highly recommend booking a tour through them and also ordering meals to be delivered. The food was local cuisine and every meal was incredibly delicious. It felt like such a treat to rest all day and have amazing meals brought to me. Thanks so much for everything.

Summary: We stayed seven nights in the house. We loved the location and the view. My husband and I stayed outside under the ranchero most of the day and enjoyed It even more at night in the hot tub with the rain storms in the evenings. Town is only minutes away from great restaurants and stores. The hosts were wonderful and so helpful with their knowledge of the area. We would be more than happy to return for another stay

Summary: Felt like we were living in a million dollar botanic garden. Pool was lovely, spa was really nice, the outdoor shower was awesome. The house was a spacious size for 2. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you need to cook. Plus the rancho (covered area by the pool) had a very nice gas grill, sink, and table with benches. Not much in walking distance, but within a 15 minute drive to lots of good restaurants, a really good grocery store, farmers market, and more. And the property manager can provide pick up from the airport, a good rental car delivered in Atenas, and meals (breakfast, dinner) delivered for a fee. We really enjoyed our stay here.

Summary: This little house was adorable, clean, convenient, well stocked, and had a wonderful outdoor area. The beds were comfortable, the washer/dryer was handy, and the pool and hot tub were so relaxing. The property offers a lot of privacy as it is surrounded by solid fencing on 2 sides, a fenced extremely steep hill on the back side, and bushes/flowers on the front with an electric gate. Piet and Yvonne were super helpful and quick to respond. The landscaping was absolutely beautiful with gorgeous flowers, huge cacti, and a few types of fruit trees. We loved being able to relax in the hot tub after returning from a busy day of exploring. Keep in mind that there is a lot of street noise (loud vehicles/motorcycles), roosters, and dogs barking regularly. As with many homes in Costa Rica, there is no AC so this means you keep the windows open quite a bit which makes the noise harder to block out. Again, it was not a problem for us since we are heavy sleepers, but a light sleeper may struggle. All of the different bird noises were so fun to listen to in the mornings. In late June, the evenings were cool enough to use a light blanket so the absence of AC was not an issue either. The home is located in Atenas so it is not really near the popular tourist attractions. It was about a 3 hour drive to La Fortunas/Arenal Volcano and about a 2 hour drive to the Jaco Beach area. Driving in Costa Rica is quite the experience. It would typically take about 30 minutes to get 10 miles due to the hair pin turns, mountains, and one lane bridges, but the spectacular countryside made it all worth it! I would definitely recommend this house to anyone looking for a relaxing and beautiful get-away for those that plan to spend a good deal of time at the house.
