Vista Vivace is located on the outskirts of San Ramón in the quaint area of Magallanes, a mix of Tico and expat residents. Hacienda Vivace's property sits at the end of a country lane, semi-tropical landscape, view of rolling hills and the Gulf of Nicoya.

The surrounding hills display lush semi-tropical vegetation. The gardens are tenderly cared for by the owners and provide an ambiance of beauty and tranquility.
San Ramon is a non-touristy area that is on the western edge of the central highlands. We are about an hour from the San Jose International Airport and a day trip from many popular tourist experiences of Costa Rica such as Poas and Arenal Volcanoes, La Paz Waterfalls and Gardens, La Fortuna hot springs area, Lake Arenal, Carrera National Rainforest, Sarchi, Beaches, Zip-Lining, Butterfly Farms, Birding, Animal Rescue Centers, Manual Antonio, a weekly farmers market and much more. We can help you with arrangements to ensure you experience the best of Costa Rica.
QUAINT VILLAGE OF SAN RAMON. 5 minutes by car from San Ramon, a 'muy tranquilo' provincial town of 20,000 that welcomes travelers with a graceful sense of pride and slow pace of life. Known as the City of Presidents and Poets, San Ramon has been home to four Presidents and many of the literary leaders of Costa Rica. The town itself offers it all -- from restaurants, museums, supermarkets, shopping, the main cathedral of this region as well as a major hospital and a University of Costa Rica campus.
Vista Vivace will give you the chance to experience the real Costa Rica and ‘Pura Vida’ lifestyle, while enjoying the modern luxuries of a beautiful North American style home.

The pictures say it all
Luxury is accurate….tile, granite, hardwood throughout, huge deck with all the furniture, all necessary applicances, washer too. Very clean and everything worked, internet was very stable. Andy and Nancy were great and live right on the site. We used this unit as a base for travel to the volcanos and waterfalls and day trips all over everywhere. Be sure to be home by 5 for those sunsets.

Spectacular
Our first glimpse from the second floor kitchen / living room / terrace set the stage for a glorious two week stay. The view from the wall of windows overlooking the valley and Bay of Nicoya is jaw dropping. Pictures don’t do it justice. Nancy and Andy are welcoming, kind, and generous hosts. We felt like we were visiting friends. Add in warm days and perfectly cool nights, easy access to groceries and other necessities, and a wealth of possibilities to explore and this property is a true treasure.

Great home, owners and location
Vista Vivace was a perfect place to stay in the Central Valley! The owners, Nancy and Andy, are lovely, generous people and welcomed us to to their home. The one bedroom was perfect for a couple with the living space above the bedroom. The full wall of windows plus an outdoor patio allowed full enjoyment of the view and sunset. Kitchen was fully stocked with all the equipment and there is a washer in the unit and a dedicated clothes line in the carport. There are some short sections of gravel road to get to the home but are not an issue. Location is approx 10 min to get to San Ramon for dining/shopping and was convenient.Would definitely return if in area.

Even better on our 2nd visit!
We returned after a 5 year hiatus (Bella Vivace) and this time stayed in Vista Vivace, this 2-story home and it was lovely! We looked forward to the views each morning and especially for the sunsets each early eve in beautiful weather. Spacious, clean, perfectly appointed furniture to play card games/have wine/dine etc, had all the amenities including a washer and an awesome patio. It was great seeing Andy and Nancy again (easy communication through WhatsApp) and enjoyed dinner with them in their home/upstairs. Enjoyed San Ramon (only 10 min drive) for restaurants (Green Garden, Crave, Nectandra cafe), sodas (Las Tinajitas, Donde Culebra) and groceries (feria/market open on weekend). Naranjo's Espiritu coffee tour and Finca Gerardo/small hike/catarata (40 min away). We hope to be back in the near future! Thank you to our hosts/friends!

30 Wonderful Days And More to Come
The apartment is new, clean and spacious and the views from the living level and terrace are out of this world. We stayed for one wonderful month (January) and are returning for another 5 weeks in March. The apartment is on a quiet dirt road, has wonderful north wind breezes, and many birds on property. Route 1 is a three minute drive and San Ramon, another 4 minutes. Andy and Nancy are wonderful hosts and Andy is a fantastic chef (be sure to request a special dinner or breakfast)! I would, and will return!!

Wonderful apartment, convenient to San Ramon
Nancy and Andy are wonderful hosts for the apartment adjacent to their home in a beautiful neighborhood just outside of San Ramon (just off Hwy 1.). They are gracious hosts who willingly share their love of the area and their story about their move to Costa Rica. The apartment is modern and very comfortable, and the views of the valley and even the Pacific in the distance are beautiful. We would highly recommend this stay!

Most enjoyable stay...
Nancy and Andy are great from the moment we entered the property. Very helpful in all ways and always attentive to our needs, which was mostly directions to places near San Ramon or things to do with the property. Andy is soooooo laid back and extremely helpful. He offered to take us into San Ramon to the market when we arrived.
Our unit had everything a home would need, and lacked nothing. We felt secure in the time we spent at the property.
The property is worth the drive, and we hope to stay here again in the future when visiting this part of the country. Thank you Nancy and Andy for a very enjoyable and relaxing stay. ..see you again. George and Helen (Burlington, on. Canada)

Wonderful place to spend a week, a month or a year!
Love love love it!!! This is our third time to Costa Rica and we are very glad that we met Nancy and Andy. Their apartment was perfect for us. The views of the ocean are outstanding. Many a happy hour was spent on the patio. We are walkers so we really enjoyed the challenge of walking up the hill to the autopista was great.

Enjoyed our stay for the month
Things we really liked about the apartment:
*Owners are great communicators and were eager to please us before and during our stay. They provided an excellent guest guide upon our arrival, which really helped us maximize our month in Costa Rica!
*The location is central to all the main areas that most people want to visit e.g. La Paz Waterfall, Arenal Volcano, Monteverde and many beaches. San Ramon has a lot to offer on its own including several nice restaurants.
*The apartment is in very nice condition and the view is absolutely beautiful… the sunsets are incredible.
Improvement opportunities:
*There is no AC in the unit, so letting in a breeze is critical to being able to sleep. It was very difficult to sleep in the bedroom, which is on the ground floor, due to not being able to open the windows at night to let a breeze in. If you do open the windows and leave the shades down for privacy, which is needed with a first-floor bedroom that is right on a road, they blow all over the place and make a lot of noise. This could be rectified if the owners install shades that won’t blow in the wind, preferably room darkening for sleep. It would also be helpful if they put screens on the windows for night time use, as the bugs do come in when the lights are on.
*The owners, who live in the unit above this apartment, have 3 dogs. Unfortunately, they proceeded to bark almost every morning when other neighbors walked their dogs past the apartment. The dogs are often out on the deck right above the apartment looking down onto the apartment patio area. If you are an early riser, this won’t be a big deal, but we like to sleep in so this didn’t work well for us.
*Internet service was poor and not available for many full days and parts of other days. For us this was a major inconvenience since we use the Internet for everything: phone calls, TV shows, movies, business communication, blogging, downloading maps, etc. We had to leave the apartment many days and go to restaurants and coffee shops with wifi to get anything done. Maybe for others this won’t be a big deal, but for us it took a whole point off our rating.
*There was no microwave or clothes dryer as listed in the rental amenities. There was also no TV (not advertised), but generally expected by most travelers.
*Despite these issues, we would have rated our visit as a 4 if the Internet had worked as the 6G network that was advertised.
