Your 5 Star Positively Private Paradise -

This Amazing Country Villa can be your very own Private Paradise where you can come and enjoy all that Costa Rica has to offer. The property is set high on a hill top, surrounded by coffee plantations and cattle ranches, offering peace, tranquility, and spectacular views of San Jose and the Central Valley, both night and day. Ask about the use of our FREE Garmin GPS with Costa Rica maps when you sign up for a minimum one week stay. ($100 CASH deposit required upon arrival - CASH refunded upon departure). The house has 5 spacious bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and 5000 square feet of living space on two acres of tropical landscaped very private gardens. The house easily sleeps up to 10 people, making it perfect for large families or groups to share those special moments of a once in a lifetime vacation. Casa Doughty is also very 'Pet Friendly'. The entire grounds are enclosed so if you bring your pet they will have the run of the 2 acres. The Courtyard between the two wings is also another contained area with plenty of grass for them to enjoy! Pets are welcome! There is a flat pet fee of $50 for each stay. Animals in the house must be crated when left alone. Throughout the home the rooms are spacious and airy with high ceilings. Built to USA standards, our house has all the comforts of back home. Some of the many features of the property include: 47 inch HD LCD TV with International cable with HBO, Cinemax, CNN, ESPN, as well as many Spanish networks, Wi-Fi high speed Internet, swimming pool that is surrounded by tropical landscape for your privacy, covered Rancho complete with outdoor seating, a dining table and chairs, and a large stainless-steel BBQ propane gas grill. Stretching the entire front of the house, you will find a wide “rocking chair” front porch that is perfect for having your morning coffee, watching the sunrise, or enjoying evening cocktails while you view the Central Valley city lights in the distance. Atenas has spring like conditions all year round. The daytime highs are in the 80’s and the lows at night are in the 60’s. The two master suites have air conditioning and all the rooms have ceiling fans. There is always a nice breeze and the temperature is mild so you rarely need air conditioning. Our multi-lingual Property Managers, Piet and Yvonne, live nearby and can be reached by phone to help with any questions that might arise during your stay. They will do everything possible to make your stay a success. They also offer a wide range of custom tours, and they also offer a fee-based transportation service from the SJO Airport if you notify them ahead of time. Be sure to ask for your FREE copy of our very own Central Valley Insider's Guide that we have produced and can send to you via email. It provides some general information about Costa Rica, tells you about some of our favorite popular Atenas Restaurants, and of course a list and description of many Central Valley nearby attractions. Since Casa Doughty is centrally located, there are many attractions within driving distance so it is very easy to take day sightseeing trips. (Ask about assistance with transportation or tour guide recommendations/tips.) In the kitchen, on the breakfast bar, you will find a Welcome Notebook with helpful information about the house and a list of things to do in the area with brochures from many of the Central Valley attractions.
