À propos de cet hébergement

Vues panoramiques, Bali style, Pool-tropicale privée-Atenas

Cette maison est entourée d'un paradis tropical, avec une confidentialité maximale, et offre une vue panoramique fantastique sur les montagnes et la vallée. Situé dans une communauté fermée avec l'une des rares piscines chauffées de la région, près de la petite ville d'Atenas, située à seulement 30 minutes de l'aéroport Juan Santamaria de San Jose. Des milliers de lumières à travers la vallée s'allument la nuit. Il est situé dans une réserve forestière protégée avec une végétation luxuriante, des arbres précieux - comme le Guanacaste (l'arbre national) et d'autres arbres à fleurs, offrant un puissant mélange de couleurs. La faune est abondante avec une grande variété de colibris qui se nourrissent quotidiennement de fleurs et de toucans.

La maison a été construite avec l'utilisation intensive de bambou géant (guadua) et est divisée en deux structures distinctes. La structure principale a la grande chambre des maîtres au 2ème étage, tandis que le salon / salle à manger, une cuisine moderne avec tous les appareils sont à l'étage principal. Dans cette maison principale, il y a une salle de travail / bureau séparée à un niveau inférieur qui offre un espace de détente supplémentaire.

La deuxième structure contient deux chambres séparées, chacune avec une salle de bain privée et une kitchenette séparée. La structure principale dispose d'un grand porche enveloppant pour fournir des zones séparées avec des hamacs et des meubles rustiques pour votre plaisir. C’est un endroit idéal pour utiliser le gril à gaz et prendre quelques repas en plein air. Le jardin luxuriant ajoutera à votre plaisir. Vous pourrez vous détendre dans notre grande piscine chauffée (panneaux solaires) à la température ambiante située entre les deux structures.

Vous aurez plaisir à visiter la ville d’Atenas, connue pour ses gens sympathiques et serviables. Visitez le marché en plein air qui propose de délicieux fruits, légumes et fruits de mer locaux ou dînez dans l'un des différents cafés pour déguster les spécialités culinaires locales. Ou tout simplement aller vous asseoir dans le paisible Central Park et rendre visite à la population locale ou simplement regarder les gens passer. En outre, le magazine National Geographic a classé Atenas comme le meilleur endroit pour prendre sa retraite à l'étranger par le National Geographic Magazine comme l'un des meilleurs climats au monde!

Beautiful house and view

Great first impression arriving at the house. Beautiful master bedroom upstairs in the main house with large bathtub and separate shower. Blinds on all windows for those who like to sleep in. The pool was great although not heated. With the house being at higher elevation with cooler temperatures it won’t get warm. Our kids loved it anyway and were swimming everyday. The casita has 2 separate bedrooms which is nice as you can have some privacy in the main house. Overall very nice place to stay in a very secure, beautiful location. I Would definitely recommend this place and would certainly not hesitate to stay there again.

Beautiful house! Wonderful Host! Wind caused noise

The main house is well laid out. The two bedrooms in the Casita are quite small and the lack of air conditioning was an issue because the strong winds blew the curtain shades around all night long. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking meals. The walk to downtown Atenas is 45 minutes. The taxi rides to restaurants in the area was 4 or $5. It was very warm and windy when we were there the last week of February. The pool was nice to cool us down. The yard is very brown in the dry season. We enjoyed our stay and Eunice took very good care of us, but we would not recommend the house to our friends because the noise from different parts of the house banging because of the wind at night.

Dear Cheryl, Sorry to hear that the high winds from this years unexpected El Nino impeded your enjoyment of the house. The windy season lasted much longer than usual with everyone living at elevation experiencing a blustery spring. As you know the house is very exposed on the mountain ridge which gives us the lovely views and the full teeth of the wind! Sadly the windy season and drought lasted many more weeks than the usual few weeks of January. We are working on the issue with the noise from the windows/blinds and plan to have this resolved before the next windy season. Thank you for staying with us and we hope you will come back some day!

Once a nice property, now in a state of disrepair. Water pressure is dismal, send several emails to property manager about the water pressure, to no avail. Stairs and stair rail leading from house to pool are dangerous, especially at night, poorly light. Step to exterior rooms is uneven at ground level and again while cleaning staff do their best, still grubby. On the plus side, view is incredible, temperature was magnificent, and the veranda with the rocking chairs very comfortable.

A Piece of Paradise in Costa Rica

The property exceeded our expectations. The layout of the main house and guest house is perfect, the beds are comfortable and the outdoor furniture and pool was awesome. The home is located in a lovely neighborhood full of wonder residents. The climate was absolutely perfect. We enjoyed our 4 weeks in Costa Rica with a property manager (Eunice) that responded swiftly to any need which was raised during our stay. Three sets of friends and family joined us during the stay and the guest house was perfect! Eunice went above and beyond by providing a crib for our 15-month old grandson!! The property is well manicured and maintained with housekeeping, ground maintenance and pool cleaning weekly. The house was cleaned weekly and we were delighted with the results! The property and neighborhood have beautiful flora and wildlife. A pair of Tucans visited almost daily and the resident Iguanas were a treat. We even saw a pair of white faced monkeys in the trees near the entrance to the neighborhood. During Jan, the flowering trees and shrubs are ever changing and beautiful and winds helped to create the perfect environment and temperature. We walked to the town of Atenas several times to grab a pastry from the numerous bakeries and stop by Smoothie Queen for the best Aqua Sandia ever!! It’s really not that hard of a walk back up the hill to the property! We absolutely loved our stay and would highly recommend this property!

Great views!!!

My family and our friends stayed at this property in July. Where to start. One thing is that I made a mistake of putting in the search site 5 adults and 3 kids, when the 3 kids are teenagers. This place is made for only 6 people, so a couple of the teenagers had to sleep on couch and loungers. Also in the description we thought we had a heated pool by solar. The pool is NOT heated. Please be aware when booking this. Since it gets down in the 60s at night, even in the summer. The pool is very cold. So none of our group got to enjoy the pool or the sauna/hot tub. Yes, the hot tub/sauna is NOT heated. The views from the place are amazing and the place had pretty much everything that we needed. The wifi was awful, so if you need to work while there. Don't plan on it!!! Plus if you have kids that can't live without wifi, plan on hearing a lot of complaining. We tried everything, but it was a no go. The location was good to get to town for shopping and other site seeing options. We enjoyed all the restaurants we went to around there. The only way we would ever go back to this house, is if the pool was heated and we had a smaller group and better wifi reception.

Thank you for your comments. We're sorry you didn't realize that your group wouldn't fit into our 3 bedroom/4 bed property although we clearly document the setup on the website. One king-sized, one queen and 2 singles is usually perfect for the maximum 3 couples we recommend. There are pictures on the website that clearly show each room and the sleeping arrangements available, so we can only assume that your circumstances changed? Regarding the WiFi, we should be clear on your usage situation. There is more than enough WiFi to work, stream music and Netflix movies. The owner works in IT and works remotely from the house on a regular basis without any issues. However, if you try to get 6 people all accessing the WiFi for streaming, gaming and other entertainment, you will have network congestion. WiFi is still an expensive commodity in Costa Rica so you do not find the substantial internet bandwidth here that you would find in North American homes. However it is reliable and fit-for-purpose assuming you don't have multiple people streaming services simultaneously. Multiple devices accessing email and browsing has never been an issue. Finally, we are sorry that the pool was not warm enough for you. It is rare to heat pools in Costa Rica due to the high cost of energy, however the ambient temperature is usually enough to keep the pool in the high 70's or low 80's in summer. We installed a solar heating system a few years ago which would usually take the chill out but are apparently having problems with this system. Inquiries are being made with the pool maintenance company to investigate the problem. Thanks again for your stay, we appreciate it, Pura vida, Andrew & Eunice

Walking in the clouds....but beware amigo viento!

We had a small issue with connecting with Eunice/Christian on the day of arrival but it was not a major issue. First, all the good things about this spectacular mountain retreat. Pica Flora is a small gated community. Casa Blais itself is really a very neat place. The main house has an amazing lower floor with a wrap around porch with gorgeous hardwood furniture. The view to the east and south is treat, day and night. The main floor sitting room and kitchen are great. The second floor has a single bedroom with windows on three sides and a bath behind with a jacuzzi and shower stall. The main house is for a couple. It is meant to be and a great space. The view from the bedroom is also heavenly. We did not use the guest house but the rooms are clean, spacious and each with a bath. Now to the most amazing moment of our stay; on the second day, we saw clouds rolling into the valley and we literally watched clouds rolling into the yard. We stood in the clouds.!! We have been above the clouds before but never IN the clouds. Chalk that up as a once in a lifetime experience. We enjoyed our daily walks at least 2, to Atenas. It is a nice town and we enjoyed exploring including walking all the way to the Farmers Market. The walk back is hot and sweaty as it is all up hill so we took a $4 can back each time. The trips down are just over 2 .2 km. We did our walks early and later afternoon as the sun and the heat are a bit strong middle part of the day. All in all, we enjoyed our days and Pica Flora and the Casa were an amazing experience. The wildlife is not on overwhelming side but the iguanas in the yard are great. Everywhere in CR will have a few ants but we are not bothered by them. Now the hard part; the WIND!!! If you go in the windy season, you will NOT sleep. The windows are not weather proofed and the wind howls at nigh, That and bamboo trees and drains smacking around create a unique orchestra that is part drums, part chimes and part whistles. The wind kept us up and it also impaired our ability to sit outside for evening dinners. Another side effect is that the wind drives a lot of dust into the house through the loose windows. We had to do a lot of wiping down. Given all of that, we would recommend this property with the strong caution that you avoid the windy season if that can be done. Lastly, the house could use a touch of TLC like replacing missing screens etc. But it is clean and well appointed.

Dear Sudhir S.: We're glad you enjoyed the scenery and thank you for the kind words about the house. Our apologies for the issues with the wind. It seems that Costa Rica has experienced a bad El Nino this spring with unusually high winds and dry weather lasting much longer than expected. We usually only experience these winds for a few weeks in January but this year they have been much more severe and lasted well into March. This weather has been compounded by a lengthy drought resulting in dry, brown conditions across Costa Rica. Unfortunately this is the price of living in the highlands with the great views! We are working on the issue with the windows and blinds making noise in the high winds, which should be subsiding any day now. Thank you for the feedback and we hope you will return! Pura vida,

Last stop on a memorable vacation

We arrived at the property very late in the evening and were not sure what to expect since our gps took us through some interesting back roads, but we found the property to be even more beautiful than the pictures had described. The property managers were very quick to respond to any questions or needs that we had. The beds were very comfortable, the kitchen was well appointed, and the view was amazing. We would have loved to stay much longer than our three nights.

Perfect "Working From Home" rental

If you need a peaceful get-away where you can Work From Home, this place is perfect. You can tuck the kids into the guest house, which has two bedrooms, and the main house has plenty of room in the downstairs for relaxing for the family. The internet is strong enough to work anywhere in the main house or on the veranda. The house location in a small gated group of homes is on a mountain ridge 45 minutes from the capital, the it is a 10 minute drive to town, where there is a large and modern grocery store. The house's kitchen has everything you need. The master bedroom upstairs is like living in a tree house. Toucans, hummingbirds, and iguanas will keep you smiling, and a dip in the pool when you can "flee the office" is a nice diversion. We didn't leave the property, except for groceries - the home was exactly what we needed - quiet, attractive, excellent internet, and a lovely change from our regular fast-paced world.

Beautiful Home!

I can’t say enough good things about this property. First of all, it is gorgeous. Love the bamboo, love the vegetation all around and it’s built beautifully. Plenty of towels available, and Eunice was so responsive and amazing, as was Christian. The only thing I would say was a drawback was the internet but that being said, being so high up and in such a secluded area probably contributed to that (plus it was nice to disconnect for a couple of days). Highly recommend!

Beautiful views, but...

I was very excited about this rental, since the pictures of the house intrigued me and indeed the architecture of this house is wonderful, it just needs some TLC. We arrived at night, which is unsettling, since you don't know what is around you. The caretaker forgot we were coming, so we contacted Eunice (the owner's local agent) and she was able to drive right over with keys. She was always available to answer questions for us and the caretaker (Geronimo) did help us with an outside ant infestation quickly. The people who are working with the renters are very nice and helpful. The panoramic views from the house and yard are amazing! Regarding the TLC, the house was not as clean as we had hoped, cooking pans and utensils are in bad shape and the toaster is rusty. There are some large iguanas that live on the house and in the yard, which we were fine with. The first night one of them scratched at the roof over our bed all night. We also noticed a large insect and arachnid population near and in the house. Ants were living in the master bedroom's jets in the tub. My husband tried to clear them out of the jets, but the next few days we would still see some in there. My daughter's room in the guest house had a daily trail of tiny ants going from the bathroom sink up the wall. We battled other bugs daily, but on our last night we lived our own Little Shop of Horrors. Granted, we are from the U.S. Midwest, and are not used to such large spiders, but we arrived home to see a very large spider sitting in the middle of the living room. Once my husband took care of it, my adult children went out to their guest house and started screaming. Not only was there an identical large spider in front of my daughter's door there was a type of tarantula, almost the size of an adult hand, sitting on my son's door. Once those spiders were taken care of by my husband, we walked into my daughter's room and found a scorpion inside. Needless to say, our 24 year-old daughter slept with us in the main house that night. My son toughed it out in the guest house. We did love the town of Atenas and the people that we met there (Take the El Toledo Coffee tour!). The gated community that the house is in, was also very nice. Unfortunately, because of the bug/spider issues that we had, and the lack of cleanliness, we wouldn't rent this house again. As for Costa Rica, we loved it! We went on to another house near Quepos and had a spectacular time.

We're sorry to hear of your challenges and can assure you we are not running a private zoo on the property! Indeed the wildlife you mentioned are all very common across Costa Rica, although we rarely see them on the mountain ridge as they prefer the valleys. It's important to keep doors closed to avoid any unwanted visitors. Nonetheless we regularly fumigate the house to repel the visitors and this is being done again this week due to your reports of heightened activity, which is typical of this time of year. As for your issues with kitchen, we sincerely apologize and find it unacceptable that you should encounter these problems. We have recently changed our cleaning staff due to previous reports and expect the standard has now returned to normal. They have also been asked to replace any aging appliances or cooking utensils, which we believe has now been done.

Great Views - Enjoyed our Stay

This is a beautiful property with spectacular views. We spent many hours relaxing on the porches in the perfect Atenas climate soaking in our surroundings. It was windy though, especially at night, during our stay. I can't give a 5 star review because it is a noisy house in the wind and we did not sleep well while staying here. There are bamboo poles as part of the gutter/drainage system. These are unsecured and knock around in the wind - loud enough to wake us throughout the night. We did see an occasional large spider and ants on the property as a recent review noted, but never inside the main house or guest house. I expect some "wildlife" in Costa Rica, so this didn't bother us. Eunice - the property manager - was very helpful in arranging our initial transportation from the airport and quickly responded whenever we had any questions. I do recommend having her arrange for an airport pickup as the property would have been difficult to find on our own especially in the dark. I then had a rental car delivered to the property on the following morning through Vamos Car Rental - they don't charge very much additional for delivery to Atenas and were good to work with.

Beautiful property

We had an amazing time in Costa Rica and at this gorgeous home. We really enjoyed hanging out at the house, cooking and relaxing on the picturesque patio. The view of the mountains is breathtaking. If you are an early riser the sunrise in the morning is a thing of beauty. You can walk to town from this home but it is a bit of a haul. Not a lot of negatives other than the freezer door was a bit problematic. All in all a great place to stay.

Spectacular Views

We very much enjoyed our stay in Atenas . The house is located very close to the town which makes running the errands a breeze. It is very spacious and was as described in the listing although we didn't realize (our mistake) that the other building where two of the bedrooms are located was not attached to the main house. The views of the surrounding area are spectacular and the pool was nice on some of those warmer afternoons. Eunice and Geronimo (gardener) were very nice and quick to address any of the issues we faced during our stay (all minor stuff). Only real negative comment about the house has to do with various items (e.g. kitchen utensils) that are a bit dated and could be replaced and a few other things that need to be fixed (freezer door, dinning room chair, etc.)

Outstanding home and view! Comfortable bed and great master bathroom! Clean and great patios!

We enjoyed staying here immensely. The neighborhood is close to Atenas and safe. The garden was beautiful and patios were delightful to sit out on and enjoy wine and our meals. BBQ was clean and functional. Great place to stay!

Perfect home for a relaxing stay in Atenas

We 4 women had a wonderful time at the Casa de Blais in Atenas. The main house is gorgeous with beautiful furniture and decorating. We loved seeing Toucans and other amazing birds in the trees right off the outside porch and had iguanas in the yard! The kitchen was well furnished with utensils and Costa Rican coffee. Eunice, Andrew and Geronimo gave us help and information so quickly when requested. Thanks for the use of this amazing home.

À propos de l’hôte

Hôte : Christian Blais

Image de profil de l’hôte
Hola! My Wife and I bought this beautiful house after visiting Costa Rica and plan to retire here one day. We currently live in Bermuda and enjoy travelling extensively, however, coming back to our Shangri-La in Atenas is always a delight. We hope you will enjoy our home while we are away.

Voici pourquoi l’hôte a choisi cet hébergement

We initially experienced visiting other areas of Costa Rica and later found that Atenas had more peace and tranquility with a better climate. No air conditioning or heating needed here. Atenas is more strategically located to enjoy all the things people like to do. There are many exciting places to visit on relatively short trips to the beaches, golf courses, volcanoes, tropical gardens, zoo, or just having fun exploring.

Voici ce qui rend cet hébergement unique

Begin each day with the sounds of different birds singing nearby like one of the many Toucans. Enjoy watching them feeding on the property. Relax around the pool or in one of our hammocks just relaxing or planning what to do. Enjoy seeing the wildlife coming to our huge Guanacaste tree at the back of our house. Go on some interesting hikes on trails near the property. Be amazed at all the interesting photos you can take to record your visit and don't forget to enjoy a cup of the locally grown coffee - it is amazing!
