Beautiful location
Gorgeous mountain location with beautifully done landscaping that attracts lots of butterflies and hummingbirds. If you love a gorgeous view this is the place to go. We even had a visit from a group of White Faced Capuchin including a mommy with tiny baby on her back. Due to our very late arrival we decided to have the owner make us a delicious breakfast and we were not disappointed.

Lovely casita -- rain or shine
We spent 2+ weeks in this lovely casita. It looks just like the photos. Everything was designed and built to a professional's standards. The attention to detail is amazing. Hard to believe this is a rental and not someone's dream home. The place is perfect for a couple – everything you need on the main floor. Just FYI, additional sleeping options (shared) in the loft mean coming downstairs for the bathroom.
Location is great – 10-15 minutes drive from downtown San Ramon, where you can find grocery stores, restaurants, and more. Beautiful long-distance views to the coast come and go as the clouds roll in and out. You're surrounded by lush gardens. The kitchen is well equipped if you want to cook. Even includes a wide range of spices, not surprising since Andy is a chef.
The owners, Andy and Nancy, are delightful. They are extremely responsive to anything you mention. They're also a wealth of information about the area. Loved our stay here and would happily return.
HEADS UP: got an invoice on our last day for for Costa Rica taxes (not collected by vrbo) for our 15-night stay. Nice that they're being “legal” but still surprised since it was 13.5%. The other vrbo we stayed at included this tax in the nightly rate and we paid it in our reservation.

We are really sorry that you were surprised by the Costa Rica government 13% tax we are required to collect. VRBO does not include the government taxes in our customer room fees for 2 reasons: 1) If we request that VRBO add 13% tax to the room fee, they simply add calculate the added tax using ALL their fees: service fees, VRBO taxes, other fees. It ends up costing the guest significantly more in taxes! 2) We rent via 5 different global rental services. Unfortunately every service and country is different in the fees they charge and how they are paid. The result is that VRBO is the only one of the 4 that will agree to add the gov't tax for Costa Rica prior to check-in.
We tried to communicate via the VRBO site prior to your arrival but were not successful in receiving a response. However, we should have tried harder to make certain you knew about the tax once you arrived. It is in red on the first page of our Guest Guide. We brought it to your attention when you asked to extend your stay by 1 night. We definitely will by more diligent in helping our guests understand the added tax. Thank you for the feedback.

We Were Conned — DO NOT stay here
We spent one night in a bug infested, unkept place. It is a place that looks just like the photos but is not a place we would ever consider staying in, considering the following:
Flying & crawling insects all over the inside. And I’m talking dozens of insects that only an entomologist would like.
No WiFi - owner said it might have blown out nights ago in a storm.
Kitchen — no hot water.
Drain not working in the inside shower /tub. The bugs in there drown & were swirling around - gross.
Screens on windows have major gaps that let in bugs when bedroom & other windows are left open. No screen on front door. And since there’s no air conditioning, the windows should be open. We left them shut cause there were already enough bugs in there. Pulled back the sheets and my wife yelled “spider”!
Skeleton key lock on sliding glass door entry! It’s a high theft area so I would expect better than that.
And no, we did not ask for nor were we offered a discount for the non functional items. We stayed one night although we paid for six nights & moved ourselves to the Marriott in San Jose, about 40 minutes away. Inconvenient but the Marriott is safe, clean and has a/c, hot water and WiFi.
If I could sue the owners I would.

Andy and I were taken aback by the angry and unfounded comments from this guest couple who stayed at Hacienda Vivace following 3 previous stays with wonderful reviews from their family relatives. One relative stated “the place was clean, beautiful setting, and wonderful hosts…I can’t wait to come again”. Another relative commented “the views from the upstairs balcony and down stairs were amazing! House was cozy and had what we needed. Andy and Nancy were gracious. We will definitely stay there again when we visit our daughter” (and they did).
IT IS CRITICAL FOR US PERSONALLY, OUR REPUTATION AS HOSTS, AND FOR FUTURE GUESTS THAT WE RESPOND TO THE UNFOUNDED MISINFORMATION PROMOTED BY THIS PARTICULAR GUEST COUPLE.
When they checked into the Casita, they announced that, even though they had paid for 6 nights and were visiting family, they intended to stay only 2 nights and then move to the more exclusive La Fortuna Baldi Hot Springs Resort, a considerable distance away.
EIGHT HOURS LATER, THEY APPEARED AT OUR FRONT DOOR, HANDED US THE KEY AND SAID THEY WERE LEAVING BECAUSE “WE ARE SIMPLY USED TO MORE HIGHER-END ACCOMMODATIONS”. THEY REFUSED TO DISCUSS FURTHER AND SAID, “EVERYTHING IS FINE, WE HAVE FOUND OTHER ACCOMMODATIONS, WE ARE ALL TAKEN CARE OF. GOOD-BYE.” THEY MENTIONED NONE OF THE FOLLOWING ISSUES DURING THE 8 HOURS THEY WERE IN RESIDENCE NOR WHEN THEY LEFT ABRUPTLY.
1. COMMENT: “Bug infested, unkept place. Flying & crawling insects all over the inside.”
OWNER RESPONSE: False. The Casita was professionally cleaned the day before the guests arrived. To say that it was “unkept” is bizarre; it was immaculate. Yes, we have bugs in Costa Rica, but certainly not what was described.
2. COMMENT: “No WiFi - owner said it might have blown out nights ago in a storm.”
OWNER RESPONSE: False. We informed the guests that the week prior to their arrival, we lost our router due to a lightning strike to our roof. However, we replaced it the next day and our password protected high-speed WiFi/Internet was working fine.
3. COMMENT: Kitchen — no hot water.
OWNER RESPONSE: False. The entire house has very hot water with great water pressure and is served by one system. It would be impossible for only the kitchen to lose hot water.
4. COMMENT: “Drain not working in the inside shower /tub. The bugs in there drown & were swirling around - gross.”
OWNER RESPONSE: False. The drains were not clogged the day prior to their visit, nor were they clogged the day they depar

Our month at Casita Vivace
The casita is extremely comfortable, well appointed and very clean. The view from the comfy swinging chairs on the porch is stunning - gorgeous sunsets every night. We loved the location in San Ramon - away from heavily populated tourist areas yet close enough to Montevere, Arenal and La Fortuna for day trips. So many wonderful authentic cultural day trips to explore in San Ramon. Good resturaunts and easy access to grocery and produce shopping. And one of the best features of the property are the hosts - Nancy and Andy. Lovely people and always available to help if needed. And there were multiple times they helped us out . Highly recommend this property.

Property was in an excellent location, close to restaurants, bars and downtown San Ramon. The climate was pleasant, really no need for air conditioning in January. There was a constant breeze blowing through the casita, we were thankful for that since there are no air conditioning units in the casita.

Thank you for the wonderful review! Just to clarify for future guests, we do not use air conditioning in the Pacific Highlands, i.e. greater San Ramon. Our temperatures are consistent throughout the year: in the mid-seventies during the day and sixties at night. Many think it is "the ideal" place to live in Costa Rica. December through April is our summer or "dry season," while May through November is our winter or "green season." In the Casita we have a large fan that cools 2 stories as needed.

Have coffee while taking in the view from the hanging porch chairs, greet the locals while you stroll the neighborhood, relax and read a book while lounging on the second floor sectional, and enjoy an outdoor shower at the end of the day.

Great stay
The casita was wonderful, clean and well-appointed. Upscale appliances, comfy furniture, and the second story loft was a great place to hang out. The outdoor shower was Wonderful! Even with our drop-in gecko. LOL
We were so pleased to be invited to a sunset cocktail party at the big house where we met other ex-pats, locals and enjoyed good conversation and GREAT ceviche (thanks, Andy!)
Andy and Nancy offered a wealth of information and sightseeing ideas and were genuine and excellent hosts. Their three little dogs were delightful as well.
We experienced no issues with our internet connection; a problem reported in the past but that has been fully corrected with strong, fast service.
Folks should be aware that there is not a television set in the casita - this was not an issue for us, given the beautiful scenery, multitude of birds and beautiful sunsets.
We highly recommend this wonderful property.

Sobre o anfitrião
Anfitrião: Nancy Sperry and Andy Robinson
Andy and Nancy are a retired married couple from Santa Cruz, California. Andy is a former cabinet designer and Nancy a former Silicon Valley marketing executive. We designed and built the spectacular 5,000 square foot, contemporary Spanish Hacienda Vivace and 1800 square foot Casita over the past 3 years. Our architect fondly refers to it as "Andy and Nancy's art project".
We are active members of the community having established "Friends of Hacienda Vivace." We do community outreach projects and monthly fundraising events for organizations such as San Ramon scouts/girl guides, local orphanage, children's cancer foundation, local music school instrument donation program, and more. We also host events such as Oktoberfest, Christmas Madrigal, and St. Patrick's Day.
Por que o anfitrião escolheu essa propriedade
After looking at Bali, Thailand, Philippines, Mexico and Panama, we felt that Costa Rica had so much more to offer us. The country is incredibly beautiful, travel is easy, and the people are wonderful. There are many micro climates to suit individual needs and an abundance of things to do. In 1949 the country abolished their army and invested all their money into education and health care and, today, have a well educated, healthy and happy population. Recent surveys show that Costa Ricans are one of the happiest people in the world. Costa Rica has a very low crime rate compared to other countries in Central and South America. They also have a longer life expectancy because of the lifestyle they live - Pura Vida!
The Pacific Highlands where we live is the heartland of Costa Rica with truly awe-inspiring coastal and mountain views, stunning sunsets, year-around weather in the seventies, historic culture, and wonderfully warm people. And San Ramón is the ideal central location for us to easily go to the airport, beaches, volcanoes, rainforests, and hot springs as well as cultural attractions like San Jose's Little Theater Group and the infamous Teatro Nacional.
O que faz essa propriedade ser única?
Hacienda Vivace will give you the chance to experience the real Costa Rica and ‘Pura Vida’ lifestyle, while enjoying the modern luxuries of a beautiful North American style home. We're located at the end of a private country lane on a working plantation that overlooks the Bay of Nicoya. You can bask in the early morning sunshine with your coffee on the back patio, contently sit and enjoy the view in the hanging basket chairs on the front porch, take a swim in the pool in the afternoon, and enjoy evening cocktails and sunset on the upper balcony.
Pick up fresh fruit and vegetables at the weekly outdoor market in historic San Ramon just 5 minutes away, drive to one of the local waterfalls and splash in the pools, visit an orchid garden or sugar cane factory, or launch a day of site seeing to volcanoes, the beaches, zoo, animal rescue center, one of many hot springs, canopy tour, or an evening at Teatro Nacional for symphony or ballet.
Another unique benefit to staying at Hacienda Vivace is the food! We serve a hearty breakfast upon request, and If you are interested in experiencing local cuisine without leaving your patio, you can take advantage of the Hacienda’s private chef. Whether you are looking for typical Tico fare or a gourmet dinner, the Hacienda’s experienced chef comes highly recommended.
