Beautiful property in a secure gated neighbourhood in Atenas with amazing mountain views. At night you can sit in the pool or hot tub and see the city lights in the distance along with a really beautiful night sky. The property was very clean, nicely furnished and beautifully landscaped. It had everything we needed including AC, TV, a full kitchen and laundry.Check in and check out were both very easy. Sandra and her husband Klaus were very nice and helpful throughout the stay.

Wonderful property. Highly recommended. My husband and I stayed with our two adult daughters for a week. The house was spacious, comfortable and beautiful inside and out. Being this high up meant a lovely breeze all the time to offset the heat and made sitting outside even more enjoyable. Hosts Klaas and Sandra were excellent in answering any questions and helped us find some great tours/chef/car rental/restaurants etc. The area is also very safe. Ubers were available to go to town for dinner etc if you don't feel like driving. We would gladly come back here again.
Beautiful views while enjoying the pool / sun tanning
Covered area with a beautiful view wonderful for morning coffee, reading and evening cocktails.

This is a beautiful property, even better than we'd hoped for. The house is spacious, well laid out, well-equipped and comfortable. The kitchen has every appliance and extra you could want. The view, magnificent. Breathtaking at night. Sandra and Klaas are perfect hosts, absolutely the best. This was our first trip to Costa Rica and, of course, Jewel Villa. We wish we would have found this place 10 years ago.

We started our first ever Costa Rican adventure at Jewel Villa and it was a phenomenal experience. What drew me to this property was the pictures of the house itself and the amazing views/amenities. As amazing as the pictures are, the experience of the property is far greater than what I had expected. It was so peaceful and beautiful up there. My whole family of 5 (including 3 teenagers) felt instant tranquility there. What made this property truly exceptional though, was the property managers, Klaas and Sandra. They were just wonderful. We chose to use many of their services and all were worth every penny. Klaas was a fantastic guide and was lovely company as we explored in Costa Rica for the first time. If Jewel Villa is available, book it. You won't regret it.

Fantastic property and experience

Everything was exactly as promised. The view from the property is absolutely stunning, and the property itself is immaculate. The property manager was extremely responsive and made sure everything went very smoothly for a top-notch experience. The property is very close to town and restaurants. I highly recommend this Roca Verde property in Atenas.

Beautiful home

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!

Klaas and his wife Sandra were very attentive and took care of all the details quickly and efficiently from our arrival to our departure. With our tours and everything we needed. They were amazing I would recommend renting a car with Maria from Alamo, she was wonderful. We already miss our days in Costa Rica!!

Best vacation ever

This was our first experience with a VRBO property and we knocked it out of the park. Not only was the property amazing (super clean, spacious, beautiful views, etc), but our property managers Klaas and Sandra went above and beyond. Not only did they do our grocery shopping for us ahead of time, but Klaas hooked us up with an english-speaking cab driver, a list of recommendations, and was essentially our tour guide for all the excursions we took. He provided a ton of information about the area, the locals, and the particular places we visited. He also made sure that we were safe and prepared for each excursion. One of the options we chose was probably not safe for my daughter and MIL due to all the rain they just had so he helped us find another option that was better suited. It was the perfect way to explore a new area for people who had never been and were english-speaking. It was an incredible adventure with zero stress.

Roca Verder

Lovely property, very clean, ample parking, secure gated community, all the facilities and some at the house. Nice welcome gift of local coffee and bananas. The views over San Jose beyond the pool were amazing at both day and night. Atenas is a nice town. Sandra our host made some recommendations which were great. Monsoon, La Jardin as well as some other places we found in the hills. Costa Tica is lush and beautiful and it would be great to go back and explore further.

Perfect!

This house is amazing. The pictures really do not do it justice. Even my teens agreed. With the amazing views, lots of outdoor space and a lot of indoor space for us to spread out, we could not have picked a better place to stay. The hosts were very responsive and helpful. We all loved having our own private pool and hot tub that we could use 24/7. The kitchen had everything we needed. And it was very convenient having our own washer and dryer in the house. There is no AC, but we never had an issue with the many ceiling fans, floor fans, and slider doors. I highly recommend this rental.

Absolutely Stunning Atenas home

Sandra's home was an amazing place to relax and enjoy all the beauty Costa Rica. The pool was great and the views could not be beat. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need to make meals as well as welcome coffee that was very appreciated. The beds were very comfy and each room has fans too keep cool. 10/10, recommend staying at Sandra's home. Her husband and her were knowledgeable on the area and able to give us multiple recommendations and provide transport from SJO.
