Lovely stay. All the reviews are accurate and not much more we can add. Truly the place is a private paradise - the outdoor shower and wildlife and the cloud forest just beyond. Those were some of the highlights for us. Easy to contact owners and they had a number of good suggestions of day trips. Highly recommend!
Great place to enjoy the "best climate in the world"

We felt right at home at Villa la Jolla. The house had everything we needed for a simple, relaxing stay. We were able to cook our own meals, good internet, Smart TV, comfortable furniture - nothing too lavish - just right for us. The pool is a lovely treat. From time to time, friendly iguanas and agouti came into the yard to visit. There is a green area next to the house with beautiful bird life. It is a convenient location - a short drive into Atenas.. Many thanks to our kind host, Bruce, and property manager Eunice. We hope to return and wish we were still there!
We had an amazing week in Costa Rica. The property is on a mountain side which results in a temperature about 3 or 4 Celsius cooler than in town . There is also a light breeze that helps keep the temperature comfortable. All 3 bedrooms were lovely and spacious and each had their own ensuite. We absolutely loved it!
We loved our stay! The property is located in a safe community and we enjoyed our time in town as well. The view was unbeatable, the pictures don't really do it justice! Everyone was incredibly helpful right from the initial communication with the host to the local folks to help us navigate any questions we had. I truly can't say enough about what a great group of people we worked with. The house itself had everything you need. There are three bedrooms all separated from the common room (one downstairs through the out door stair case). This was great for privacy. We were two families traveling together, so we put the kids (all teens) in one room leaving the other two for parents. Kids loved the pool. Views from everywhere. We enjoyed the drives to the various sites - gave a great perspective of the country. I would happily visit again.
The view was amazing, in all weather. We arrived very late at night and the arrangement for the keys and the groceries provided were extremely helpful and appreciated. A wonderful vacation spot.
The house is perfect for a family, everyone has their own bedroom and bathroom. 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.
Beautiful house and area, smooth check in, clean accommodations, fast and helpful communication from host and property manager. Being close to the airport was a great bonus. We had a great time and would return!
Villa Paraiso was the perfect location to enjoy the natural beauty and climate of the Atenas area. The house is well appointed and well equipped. The kitchen offered us everything we needed to make delicious meals with the excellent local produce. The beds and bedding were superior. And we appreciated the variety of streaming services for evening viewing. But the most important feature for us was the outside living area. Comfortable furnishings, a glorious pool, lovely gardens, plenty of room to spread out and always a choice of sun or shade. The perfect place to escape winter and relax.
