Conveniently located to the San Jose airport and day trips to Jaco for fun in the sun. We loved coming back to the house in the evening for pool side happy hour and grilling for dinner.

The pool was so amazing and the views so so stunning. Great location for tourists, in the middle of all attractions. One thing I will say is after a full day of Costa Rica’s hot and humid weather we would have loved for the villa to have a/c. Most tourists are not use to this weather and want to come back to a cool home. It was hard to cook in the house because it was hot and humid. Even a ductless split would help so much. Otherwise Outstanding ##### Tori B.

You must remember that you are in a valley surrounded by mountains and the roads can be steep at times. That being said, Atenas is a wonderful base for exploring many of Costa Rica's towns and attractions.

The property manager walked me through all of the amenities and provided all the best contact information for an easy fun stay. The home is nestled up high providing amazing views, especially in the morning time with the sun peaking over the mountains. The taxi driver that was provided was such a good honest individual too. Even brought me out to eat before heading to the airport! =) The house is clean and safe, and no problems whatsoever. The pool made everything even better, photos dont do justice!

Everything we saw and experienced while here was exceptional. Piet ( our host )was more than gracious and friendly, he was a blessing. He invited my wife and I to a Halloween party at a local resort that his band was playing. A perfect evening, thanks again Piet. The house was stunning, views that would take your breath away. We'll definitely be back. After you stay here, you will too. ##### Jeffrey N. Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katherine S.

Checked up on us throughout our visit to make sure everything was ok. The house is beautiful and has an amazing view, worth waking up every morning too! The house itself is gated as well as its in a gated community so it feels pretty safe. Getting to the house can be a challenge, as it is on a mountain and lots of curves, and can get pretty dark at night, but thats in all costa rica and trust me the house is worth it. I would definitely stay there again. ##### Katherine S. Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Valentino S.

The view from the pool is absolutely amazing. The bedrooms are spacious and have large windows overlooking the entire valley. We had a good time playing in the pool. Villa Aleva is just a few minutes driving distance from Atenas. The property managers Piet and Yvonne met us at the home when we arrived. Because of the late check-in we ordered some local food and Yvonne delivered to our place right on time for dinner. The food was delicious. If you are looking for tranquility and serenity, we highly recommend this place. Valentino & Keysha ##### Valentino S. Stayed 8 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mickey K.

It was amazing to get up in the morning, have a coffee and sit outside. The view is vast and you can see far and wide. My one wish was ro see a toucan which we did a few days before we left. It was in a tree in the back yard and waited for us to get the perfect picture before he flew away. We also saw geckos which make some really weird noises but they kept all the bugs out of the house. The property is quite far from town so we needed to get a taxi when we wanted to get to town. The property managers were amazing and extremely helpful. I need to work on my spanish, but google translate was helpful in a pinch. We did several tours and enjoyed them all The pool at the house was wonderful and kept us cool and refreshed. Special thanks to Piet, he was absolutely amazing throughout our stay. The chef at the house was a great way to celebrate Christmas the food was delicious. The people in Costa Rica are wonderful and the fruit is massive and fresh. ##### Mickey K. Stayed 10 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tracy R.

The house & property are beautiful & safe in a very nice, gated neighborhood on a mountain. Someone is always at the front to let you in and out. The big screen doors across the back of the house let the breeze in. The pool gets lots of shade, so the water is nice and cold. There was shade on the patio at about 8:30am, so whether you like the sun or shade, you will find a nice spot to sit. The washer and dryer are new and worked well. The owner provided cleaning and paper products. We booked the airport transfers and the dinner delivered on our first night was delicious. The grocery store is within 10 minutes and so are many restaurants. Piet booked 4 of their recommended tours for us and drove us to them, which was so convenient. Atenas is close, but walking there would be arduous (steep slopes) and dark at night, so you'll need a car or to take taxis. Piet and Yvonne had our rental car delivered nearby and drove us to it, and they also called a taxi for us when we needed it. They go above and beyond as property managers - they made our vacation easier and more fun! ##### Tracy R. Stayed 9 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Danielle L.

The house is gorgeous, and the view from the backyard is stunning. On two separate occasions toucans came to the tree in the backyard to feed on the berries. We also had 6 head of cows/ bulls wander up one morning while we enjoyed coffee on the back porch. The late afternoons did get warm, but we just cooled off in the pool. We did not see any rain while we were there. The nights do cool down, but was still a little warm for sleeping. Driving was an experience! The roads are very narrow and congested. The hosts were very helpful planning several tours for us. We really enjoyed the coffee farm tour. We did get lost several times In the neighborhood. The roads and driveways all look the same and street signs are minimal. We had to go back to the gate house and ask for directions. They have a map of the neighborhood that we were able to take a picture of, which was extremely helpful. The people of Atenas are super friendly and gracious. Overall it was a fabulous vacation in Costa Rica! ##### Danielle L. Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kevin S.
