Great place to relax and enjoy nature

Our family very enjoyed the many comforts and amenities of this lovely home. It is spacious and has comfortable furniture and beds. The kitchen is well supplied with pots and pans, dishes, utensils and appliances making it super-easy to prepare meals. There are 2 We felt very safe and we very much appreciated the peace and quiet, the big trees and lush greenery. The beautiful birds and other occasional visitors like iguanas and coati kept us entertained. The fiber optic wifi was great and we were able to stream and work on-line with no problems. It has 2 nice patios with outdoor furniture and hammocks. The house is very easy to access from the gate and it is a pretty easy drive into Puriscal from Altos de Cafetales. We hope to return soon! Thank you Ana and Juan Carlos!!

Wonderful home

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home at Altos los Cafetales. The home is very spacious, has all the cooking amenities and super comfortable beds. There was ample space for all of to enjoy time together and still have some privacy. The fiber optic wifi gave us many options to connect to any streaming service or work remotely. We enjoyed sitting outside much of the day taking in the gorgeous views or just watching and listening to the incredible bird life. The gated community is very quiet and has many connecting roads in which we could walk each day. The host and the caretaker were both very attentive to any of our needs or questions. If you are looking a place to chill out, enjoy nature without the typical touristy hussel and bustle, then this is the place for you. We were here for 10 days and wish we could have stayed even longer. But we will return.

We enjoy the peaceful environment, surrounded by nature. We spend most mornings watching birds, iguanas, and wildlife. In the afternoon, we go for walks around the community or in the back roads. The location is close to Puriscal, where you can find groceries and basic necessities. It is also close to San Jose, and to the Pacific coastal towns. We often do day trips to Jaco, Playa Hermosa, and Los Sueños gated community.

Our house offers three comfortable bedrooms and two spacious bathrooms. It is located in a corner lot. Neighbours are close but not adjacent to our house.
