This house is brand new! The furnishing and gardens have been chosen to highlight the uniqueness of the house and property.
Nestled just outside the town of Atenas this is a one of a kind piece of paradise. This brand new 3 bedroom 2 bathroom house is truly an architectural masterpiece. Every detail of this design was methodically thought out to make its inhabitants able to enjoy the views and every comfort imaginable. This house is beyond a doubt luxurious! From the moment you enter the massive castle door you will know that have found something magical.
Open up the 6 sliding doors that make up the back wall of the living room, and invite the outdoors in or sit and enjoy the giant round rock wall. The 23 foot ceiling will make you feel like you are outside. You won’t be able to take your eyes off the breath taking view of the mountains and jungle below.
The master bedroom is equipped with a 2 person Jacuzzi tub with its own rock wall and waterfall faucet. Take in the amazing view while you soothe your worries away in the tub. In the master bathroom there is also a 2 person shower that allows each person to control their own water temperature. Swing open the large window in this shower to feel that you are taking your shower in the jungle.
Sleep like you have never slept before....all beds are equipped with an Orthopedic Pillow Top mattress. The kind you can not feel the other person move. Bed sizes are as follows: King bed in Master. Queen in Bedroom 2 and Full in Bedroom 3
In the second washroom there is a roomy glassed in shower and a vessel sink. There is also a door that goes out to the pool - just one of the many conveniences.
The kitchen is equipped with a breakfast bar, and all of the amenities you may need to cook any gourmet meal.
You won’t be able to wait to take a swim in the infinity pool that is surrounded with lush tropical gardens. Along the one side of the pool there is an underwater contoured bench with a table that will allow you to sit, relax, and enjoy your favorite tropical drink in comfort while taking in the amazing view. The 24 foot infinity edge will make you feel like you are sitting on the edge of the world! Or put your lounge chair in the mirror of the pool and cool your feet while soaking up the glorious sun that Atenas has to offer.
While you are here you will be able to sit back, relax, and enjoy the wonderful wildlife that this area has to offer. Toucans, humming birds, geckos, and iguanas are just some of the interesting creatures you may be lucky enough to feast your eyes upon!
This house is a scenic 25 minute walk down the mountain into the town of Atenas. Or a 3 minute drive, but you feel like you are in the country and far from any hustle and bustle while you are at the house.
Atenas is centrally located in Costa Rica. It is close to all of the many wonders that Costa Rica has to offer such as rain forests, waterfalls, volcanoes, the Pacific Ocean, butterfly farms, coffee plantation, and much much more! It is a safe area with many neat restaurants offering Tico prices. Atenas was named by National Geographic as having the nicest climate in the world! There is no better way to describe the weather here!
What are you waiting for? You need a vacation like this one!

Fantastic Thanksgiving Getaway
Guest: chris c.

Date of Stay: 11/19/11
Review Submitted: 01/16/12
We stayed in the villa Thanksgiving week 2011 and we had an amazing time. The villa was beautiful and was even more spectacular than shown in the pictures with attention to detail throughout. We spent alot of time at the villa simply looking out at the constantly changing views across the valley. Neither of us were particularly avid bird watchers before coming here but we found ourselves discussing the birds and wanting to find out more about them, seeing new birds depending on the time of day. Sam and Roxie were very helpful and were always there if we needed them. I would highly recommend using the drivers suggested by Sam and Roxie. They were very professional and we were able to plan great days out which would be built around our schedule unlike some of the large tours we noticed at some places. The La Paz Waterfall Gardens and the ziplining at Jaco Beach are two things you have to do when you are here. Sam and Roxie recommended some restaurants in town and the pizza place was particularly good and we visited here twice. We would highly recommend this to friends and family and we will definitely look to return here at some point.
Owner response:Yes when you have time to relax and notice nature, it is quite nice. We get many different birds such as budgies, paraquites, blue mot mots, toucans, hummingbirds, hawks and many more. Come and see for yourself.

This place was great -- Sam and Roxie were great hosts, offering lots of advice on local area and always nearby for questions. They met us in Atenas and delivered us right to the house. The house and pool are beautiful -- the pictures don't do it justice. The views are incredible. Coffee by the pool each morning lingered on and on. The location is convenient - only an hour to the Pacific Coast (stop at Outback Jack's on the way) where there are ziplines, parks, etc. Atenas is a nice town with an open market, some good restaurants - Alida's and LaTrilla - and friendly people. We had 3 couples staying in the house and there was plenty of room to cook, eat and relax. We would highly recommend this property. We hope to be back ourselves.
Owner response:Helping to create lasting memories is what we strive for when you stay with us. Book your best vacation ever....NOW!

A Perfect Escape

This property is exactly as it is offered, luxurious and with jaw dropping views. I would highly recommend a stay here for a weekend or a month. Private, gated, secure and well maintained. The house is immaculate in every sense of the word, from pristine landscaping to a crystal clear infinity pool that overlooks a beautiful valley that is illuminated in the evening. Perfectly situated just on the outskirts of the quaint, picturesque town of Atenas. The house is equipped with a binder full of suggestions of places to eat, (we tried 2, superb) and things to see and do, including phone #'s and a map for convenience. Centrally located for easy access to the East or West coast of Costa Rica. The drive to the airport was a breeze, 25 minutes, tops. The proprietors, Sam and Roxanne, are available at any time, for any thing. The house also has a large flat screen t.v. with satellite access should you have to get your "fix" while vacationing! The house is awesome through and through, evidence of the pride the owners have. Thanks for everything and we can't wait to return for a longer stay. Jeff and Barri (Venice, Fl. USA
Owner response:We are so happy you enjoyed our dream home! We want to share it with as many people as possible!

Family vacation @ the Castle!
Guest: Bonnie

Review Submitted: 09/20/11
Our time at the Castle exceeded our expectations!! More beautiful than the pics, and they were really great pics. House was clean and all the beds are very comfortable. The landscaping on the property is perfect- like a home in a magazine. Plants and flowers everywhere with a butterfly garden and a daily show from the hummingbirds. The view is breathtaking and ever changing. This property is centrally located and the town and the people are warm and friendly. Don't miss our favorite restaurant Alita's, it was the treat of the week for Italian food. Sam & Roxie will give you all the information and direction. Poas Volcano & the zoo are a must. Don't sit on the fence for this property, you will be totally satisfied.
Owner response:It is true. Life is short. Do not this on the fence.....book this property now!

What a terrific house! Spacious and comfortable, this rental house was the perfect place to stay on our honeymoon and Atenas is the most charming town I can imagine. Not only are the people in Atenas friendly, but the town is perfectly located in the mountains between the beach and the city (San Jose). The owners of the house were very helpful long before we even left home. They made sure the house was in good condition before our arrival. The house is large and the pool was fantastic. We had a blast hanging out at the house, looking out at tThe house had plenty of necessities like towels, glasses, and basic cookware. We will definitely be back.he view.
