Stunning and Magical
Posted May 31, 2024 on HomeAwayI’m pretty sure I’ve fallen in love…both with the property and our wonderful hosts.
Our expectations were exceeded throughout. Guida and John are so lovely and their property is just magnificent.
Between the endless view and the magical well-manicured gardens and the comfortable accommodations we felt at home and at peace.
A bonus was a platter of fresh fruit, bread and coffee waiting for us upon arrival. So thoughtful.
I know that we will be coming back…hopefully very, very soon.
I honestly could not recommend this property and these delightful hosts more.
Thank you so much Guida and John. Even though I know we will see you again I will never forget you.

Stunning view, no a/c
Posted Feb. 3, 2024 on HomeAwayThe location at the top of the hill has amazing views of the Central Valley. The accommodations are basic but a welcome bottle of wine, snacks, butter and milk for coffee are nice touches. However, there is no air conditioning and the windows face due east. In the morning, that means bright sun directly into the sleeping space. There are aluminum blinds which help lessen the sunlight a bit, but unfortunately they rattle loudly if the wind blows and vents are open to let in fresh air. The biggest complaint was the lack of hot water. We were never able to complete even a short shower without the hot water running out, if there was any to start with.

Beautiful Mountain View
Posted Dec. 11, 2023 on HomeAwayThe property was beautiful, very quiet and private, the little town down the road was very quiet, as well great restaurants. Host couple were very sweet and informational people would definitely stay there again.

Mostly good
Posted May 17, 2023 on HomeAwayExcellent views, lovely unit, you will need a vehicle if staying here, it’s a quiet and private location. When we received our booking from VRBO it stated we could check-in after 11am, when this is NOT the case. In advance we contacted Guida to confirm, and she told us that our booking confirmation was incorrect and we couldn’t check in until 3pm….and even when we arrived there was confusion about which unit we had booked, so our unit wasn’t ready yet.

Beautiful place to get away
Posted Mar. 20, 2023 on HomeAwayGuida was wonderful, friendly & extremely accommodating. The view from the property is simply stunning. Such an amazing experience to watch the sunrise in the mornings. We will definitely be staying here again on our next trip to Costa Rica. I definitely recommend staying here. Thank you again!

Costa Rica ‘23
Posted Feb. 15, 2023 on HomeAwayThis was a beautiful location with jaw-dropping views. The studio had stunning photography personally taken and developed by the host. The studio was also incredibly clean. Communication with the host wasn’t always perfect, but it did work out in the end. Also, a more refined address could be used to ID the destination. Outside of that, we had a wonderful time and enjoyed our stay. Oh, and I forgot to mention the cows!! We loved them too!

Supreme service in Paradise
Posted Dec. 17, 2022 on HomeAwayWords can't capture how magical of experience I had with Guida and John at their beautiful home. My first day of arrival I got lost, Guida was so patient with me and stayed on the phone with me until I found the home. I came to my beautiful room greeted with wine, fresh bread butter, chips , salsa, pineapple and papaya. After giving me a comprehensive tour of the space, Guida sat down with me and reviewed what activities I could do during my stay and made recommendations based on my interest on places to go and restaurants to eat at.
The trip just got better from there, everyday I got the treat of having quality time with Guida. She checked on me everyday to ask me if I needed anything, made arrangements for me to get two of the best massages I have ever had in my life, she also arranged for me to have a day pass at a 5 star resort. Guida opened up her home to me, her network and her resources to ensure I had a fabulous stay. There is no question I will be back and I have made a connection for years to come.
Thank you Guida and John! Je t'aime XOXO

Perfect
Posted Nov. 9, 2022 on HomeAwayI was traveling alone for a few days away. I felt very safe here on Guida's property. The view is amazing. I enjoyed having coffee in the morning watching the sunrise over the mountains. Guida and John are lovely hosts and were very sure to make sure I had everything I needed. I would definitely stay here again!

STILL love this slice of Paradise
Posted Apr. 6, 2022 on HomeAwayThis is my second visit to this property and it was just as I remembered! So relaxing and beautifully decorated. Guida and John are hosts that do not disappoint and will see to your every need. We will be returning as often as our schedule allows - simply fantastic with stunning views and scenery!

living on the side of a mountain
Posted Feb. 23, 2022 on HomeAwayIt's a beautiful location with near panoramic views. The night lights of Alajuela and San Jose are spectacular. Quiet, paved roads allow for a 2 mile walk with moderate ups and downs. We had no car and went into Atenas by taxi for shopping and eating. Taxi was $4 each way. That worked well.
