About this property

Bali Dream View, Total Privacy, Pool, Wifi, 30 min to Beach/Waterfall/Ziplining

Sleeps 6. Restore yourself at La Luna Vista, your luxury Bali home offering complete privacy and a 360 degree view of a lush, eco protected valley from every room in this modern custom built home with 3 bedroom/suites. It's a modern Shangri La, yet a 2 minute drive into one of Costa Rica's loveliest towns, with it's 5 markets, restaurants, English speaking emergency room, orchid trees and church overlooking the central square and, according to Natl Geographic, 'the best weather in the world'. Super wifi. Centrally located, La Luna Vista is a 'home base' for your entire Costa Rican vacation and easy drives to volcanoes, cloud forests, beaches, river rafting, fishing, surfing, coffee farms, ziplining, monkeys and bird watching. For an active or relaxing vacation
It's 'pura vida' as you sit by the pool overlooking the neighboring farm and protected valley while the butterflies dance around you. Open the pocket doors entirely to the world outside while cooking in the in the completely modern gourmet kitchen or BBQ on the deck. One level is the main sala with kitchen, dining room, living room with modern convenience, and also the master bedroom & bathroom with its own veranda to the valley + the guest house bedroom, bathroom and private yard. The next level is another bedroom suite, complete with it's own veranda looking at the valley, but with easy access to the main level.
The Best of All Possible Worlds: Our brand new home La Luna Vista really has all the modern amenities but is surrounded by nature. The Costa Rican government has chosen to preserve our gorgeous valley because of it's great natural beauty. You see only trees and mountains from the terrace that surrounds the house no matter where you look. At night, nature provides a light show in the clear skies, and sometimes you can watch lightening dance over the mountains beyond the valley. There is complete privacy yet on the other hand there are neighbors close by. Our little town of Atenas has wonderful restaurants, many supermarkets with Chilean and Argentinean wines, even pizza delivery and modern American kitchen necessities. A farmers market where all the surrounding farmers bring delicious mangoes, veggies, colorful fruits a local specialties happens every Thursday and Friday in the park.
Activities? Or not!: You can relax poolside, sip smoothies or a glass of wine and completely remove yourself from the stress of contemporary life. But if you want to check your emails and stream movies, we have great wifi.
If you are looking for a more active time away from home, butterfly farms, volcanoes rain forests, river rafting, horseback riding, are all an easy drive.

If you want to hang ten or simply stroll on the pristine Costa Rica Beaches or swim in the warm Pacific water of famous surfing beaches like Jaco and Playa Hermosa which are only 45 minutes away.

Pura Vida!: It's no accident that Costa Ricans' motto is 'Pura Vida.' They are lovely, well educated, warm, and welcoming people.

I can't say enough postive things about Diana's house. This was our second stay and we wont ever think about another property to stay at in Costa Rica. The quietness, views and quality of this home are all top class. Leticia (property manager) is so helpful and she has always made our stays all the more enjoyable with her attention and care during our time there.

The home was absolutely gorgeous, and the view was spectacular! We truly enjoyed our stay — peaceful, private, and even more beautiful in person.We did have an issue with the lower unit toilet leaking water, which caused a mild mildew odor, but it was addressed as best as possible during our stay. It didn’t take away from the overall experience. The main living room couch could use an update, though it certainly didn’t affect our enjoyment.Our driver, Alvero, was amazing — patient, friendly, and very accommodating. Leticia was also wonderful to work with, always responsive and helpful before and during our visit.Thank you for welcoming us into your home. We left relaxed and happy and would absolutely recommend this Costa Rica getaway to others!

Great stay!

We thoroughly enjoyed Diana's Atenas home. Leticia and Darwin were wonderful resources and became friends. It was such a joy to sit on the verandas, enjoy a cool drink and soak in the fabulous views. Leticia was welcoming and a source for all things wonderful. Darwin was very attentive and made sure everything was always right with the home and surrounding areas.

The pictures in this listing look amazing so we were excited to see the property in person. I will say that it did not disappoint. The beautiful house, and the gorgeous view, were everything you see in the pics and more. The privacy of the location, along with the gorgeous decor, make this spot a wonderful refuge. Admittedly, its location makes some of the drives to tourist spots like La Fortuna and La Paz a bit far. But waking up to that spectacular view every morning made it all worth it.The hosts were very gracious, communicative, and hospitable. I highly recommend staying here if you find yourself in this region of Costa Rica.

Unbelievably Gorgeous

Our first time in CR and this place blew us away! Beautiful everywhere you turn. Perfect for our family with older kids, as all the bedrooms are very private from each other. We loved the decor, the privacy, the views, everything. I especially enjoyed the house cat and dogs that visited us each day. We saw geckos and all types of birds. Just fantastic. Thank you!

Superb Overall Experience

The surreal views, active birds, location, property features, and helpful staff are why we came back for a second time. We enjoyed a combination of active days where we loved the central location to explore Costa Rica, close to home days to enjoy Atenas and live like a local, and home days where we enjoyed coffee, the pool, and having a chef come in to prepare meals. Highly recommend!

Perfect Home-base for Adventure and Relaxation

Stayed at this stunning home for one week with my two sisters.

Amazing Property

We absolutely loved our stay at this house. There is no need for air conditioning being high up. No bugs at all! A lot of folks wrote comments about the steep road up to the house, which almost turned me off from booking it. The driveway is paved and while steep not an issue at all. Not sure why anyone would mention it. Fantastic place to rent. We will definitely be back. There are three rooms, each with their own queen beds and bathrooms.

About the host

Hosted by diana baron

Host profile image
I am a mom, business owner, and i grew up in a large family in Los Angeles. I love Latin culture, the kindess, the food, the love of family, and the appreciation of nature.

Why they chose this property

More than ten years ago, my son had a 'foreign country' experience during high school right in this tiny town of Costa Rica. While visiting him, his art teacher showed me this area, where at the time there were no houses, and basically a wild hill overlooking the valley. i felt at that moment i had found 'my place' on this earth, like the character in Carlos Castenada speaks about. So, i bought the land. It took me two years to find the right designer and builder to work with, whose aesthetic i appreciated and who understood mine. The designer was an American woman so she had experienced the many conveniences in homes that other builders here didn't - lots of closets, lots of drawers and storage in the kitchen etc. Her husband Fred was my builder and he used a crew headed by Lumberto to build the house. Fred & LInda have moved back tothe states, but i still work with Lumberto on upgrades and in face Jaime, who worked on my crew, is my caretaker. They know every square inch of this place and feel a part of it too.

What makes this property unique

I am writing this while sitting in the swing chair on the veranda over looking the valley. I can hear the Tucans croaking in the tree below and the sound of birds in the morning is beautiful. My neighbors cows are just now making their way to the river below. i've already taken a walk through mango fields and coffee fields. I brought some carrots with me todayy to feed some of the horses I see along the way. i make my way during the day from here, to the rocking chairs, to the hammock to the lounge chairs, etc. while checking the news in the States.
