2 Bedroom Villa in Mercedes, Atenas

Delightfully relaxing Balinese-inspired villa with three separate pavilions (living, primary bedroom, and guest bedroom) custom-designed to enjoy inside/outside living in your private oasis of sun, lush gardens, hummingbirds, butterflies, toucans, and sparkling pool waters.
Nestled high on a peaceful hilltop, the panoramic views are fantastic: to the northeast, the Atenas Valley with Póas, Barva and Irazú volcanoes in the background, to the southwest the Rio Grande Valley and to the east, the Central Valley. Ideally located in a gated eco-residential community, a thirty-minute drive from San Jose airport, this exquisitely crafted three-pavilion tropical hideaway is close to everything Costa Rica has to offer. Invite family and friends to enjoy the spacious pool and spa, lounge on the terrace with a good book, or surf the WiFi from the hammock.
Location: 26 miles northwest of San Jose; 15 miles west of the international airport and 43 miles northeast of Jaco Weather: Warm during the day; mild at night. The dry season runs from December through mid May. A stroll through the immaculate, palm-lined central park or lunch at one of the many typical small cafes serving local food in town awaits visitors to Atenas. Located on the Central Valley’s western edge, Atenas is a slice of quintessential small town Costa Rican life. With just 5,000 inhabitants (17,000 including the suburbs), Atenas is famous for having one of the best climates in the world, according to National Geographic. The words “El Mejor Clima del Mundo” are emblazoned on every Atenas bus; a valid claim as daily temperatures hover around 80 degrees and dip into the 60s at night. Temperatures: Daily averages 77 to 86 °F. Evenings vary from 62-70 °F. Altitude: 2600 feet above sea level.

Summary: We had a wonderful time at Villa Tamarindo, and I wish we could have stayed longer. Elias was very helpful, and the property is stunningly beautiful. We even got used to the cicadas! The kitchen is very well appointed and all the rooms are quite comfortable. It was a good location for birding as well; I added several species to my life list, including a keel-billed toucan and a turquoise-browed motmot. The lock to the living room was a little sticky, and we could have used labels on most of the light controls because we forgot which controls went to which lights. That’s minor, though. We recommend this place at the highest level!

Summary: We stayed 4 nights at Villa Tamarindo and it did not disappoint. From the welcome email from Joe with directions, to Elias warm greeting and villa tour, to the bonus room for yoga/reading, this villa was amazing. We had 2 couples but will likely return with our kids next time. We were blown away with the beauty of the place! A 4x4 car will be needed if you rent a car which is highly recommended. LOVED IT here! Thank you Joe and Elias!

Summary: It’s true, the pictures do not do this justice! My husband and I spent 14 beautiful days at the Villa along with another couple. We were warmly greeted by the caretaker, Elias. If we needed anything, we communicated with him using WhatsApp. He even arranged for a Taxi to pick us up one evening so we could go out to dinner. (It gets dark at 6pm and we didn't want to drive knowing that we would be having cocktails with dinner). It felt like we were on our own private resort. Waking up to the birds singing in the morning and seeing beautiful sunrises was a highlight for me. We even saw Keel-Billed Toucans around the Villa. The pool and hot tub were also a hit. We rented a car (necessary if you plan on staying for a while). We ventured out to Manuel Antonio for the day but otherwise, we stuck to Atenas for groceries and an occasional breakfast or lunch out. We were perfectly happy cooking for ourselves. Everything about the Villa is well thought out. The kitchen has everything you could need! I would highly recommend renting this Villa and if we were ever to come back to Costa Rica again, this is the place to stay - no doubt about it.

Summary: I've been tracking Joe's Atenas property on VRBO for several years, always wondering if it was as fabulous as the pictures and reviews made it appear. It was everything and more! Exquisitely appointed yet perfectly comfortable, it was the ideal layout for our two couples/4 adults group. The woodwork is truly gorgeous, throughout so tastefully decorated and discreetly presented as a rental; every inch immaculate. It truly felt as if we were staying as personal guests. Elias was wonderfully helpful, too. A perfect place for the week. Thanks so much for sharing your amazing property!

Summary: Absolute 10/10! Gosh we cannot say enough great things about how stunning this property was. We stayed for 3 nights and wished we had stayed our whole week here! Elias was great at showing us around and helping us when our friends left important documents even after we had left. The neighborhood is well secured, it wasn’t too hard to navigate to get to. The driveway is very steep so I would recommend a decent vehicle but it’s worth it. There wasn’t AC but we didn’t need it with the windows open and the amazing weather in Atenas. The hot tub and pool were both great and well cleaned. Having a washer and dryer was great as well as all appliances and some small pantry goods like seasonings were provided which was a nice touch. The grounds are absolutely stunning and we all wished we lived here and would definitely return! Very worth the money and made for an incredible stay!

Summary: Perfect from start to finish. Great communication with the owner. The caretaker Elias is a gem. The property is meticulously cared for and very well appointed. The private lush grounds and the architecture/layout make this place special. Iguanas, leaf cutter ants, and views with high flying hawks abound. We had a great time here. Perfect for our first couple days in Costa Rica before traveling West.

Summary: This was our second stay as guests at Villa Tamarindo. The property is a beautifully gated, and private villa tucked away on a hill outside Atenas inside a gated community. It’s the definition of tranquility and Pura Vida. The living quarters are well furnished and very clean. The sleeping quarters are in two separate bungalows to provide additional privacy and luxury. We really enjoyed the pool and jacuzzi during our extended stays. Elias the property manager is kind and was always available and very responsive to our every needs. Atenas is a nice small town with a handful of nice restaurants and cafes. Highly recommend it. We will be back again!. Thank you for another fabulous stay!

Summary: This property is outstanding. The pool is the largest we have seen in Costa Rica. The gardens are unbelievable throughout the entire property. The lush vegetation provided total privacy. We loved having the 3 separate buildings for the common areas abs 2 bedroom suites. I would highly recommend.

Summary: We finished our time in Costa Rica at this villa. We were greeted by the caretaker with a smile and a grand tour of the property. After time at the HOT beach area of C. R., it was a treat to have the cool breezes and pool to relax. (Reading books, napping and playing cards were our main activities.) The owner, was very responsive via email when we had a couple of questions. We didn't even leave the property, but stopped at the grocery store in town and gathered what we wanted for our 3 night stay. We will definitely be back when we travel in and out of San Jose Airport.
