Outside San Jose

Great property. This is an old, rambling house set like a grand matron in a beautiful park-like setting. The house is 'venerable', and in need of updates and cleaning. But it's rustic and open to nature. It's huge with 5 different bedrooms and lots of beds. About an hour away from SJ Airport, and downtown SJ, and some sites. But 3 or more hours away from major attractions. So great for large family/friends get togethers, but not necessarily for CR's touristy hot spots.

Huge house with beautiful views!

My family and a Costa Rican friend spent eight days in this beautiful house, located on the top of a mountain overlooking the city of San Jose. It was absolutely breathtaking! Our host Ruth was incredibly attentive and very communicative. She met us at the front gate and make sure we got settled into the house. OK. During the week she checked in on WhatsApp to make sure that we had everything we needed and also made a special trip in to take care of some details that popped up. The house itself is absolutely gorgeous with huge bedrooms, picture windows, and balconies overlooking the city below, and a huge property to explore and enjoy! There is also a working fireplace in the middle of the living room, and a generous collection of firewood that you can help yourself to. We actually made a fire for three of the evenings we were there, and it was so beautiful and cozy! The neighborhood is incredibly safe, tucked away behind a private gate.
