Enchanting Villa W/Large Pool, Lush Gardens, Great Views, & Total Privacy

Delightfully relaxing Balinese-inspired villa with three separate pavilions (living, primary bedroom, and guest bedroom) custom-designed to enjoy inside/outside living in your private oasis of sun, lush gardens, hummingbirds, butterflies, toucans, and sparkling pool waters.

Nestled high on a peaceful hilltop, the panoramic views are fantastic: to the northeast, the Atenas Valley with Póas, Barva and Irazú volcanoes in the background, to the southwest the Rio Grande Valley and to the east, the Central Valley. Ideally located in a gated eco-residential community, a thirty-minute drive from San Jose airport, this exquisitely crafted three-pavilion tropical hideaway is close to everything Costa Rica has to offer. Invite family and friends to enjoy the spacious pool and spa, lounge on the terrace with a good book, or surf the WiFi from the hammock.

Location: 26 miles northwest of San Jose; 15 miles west of the international airport and 43 miles northeast of Jaco Weather: Warm during the day; mild at night. The dry season runs from December through mid May. A stroll through the immaculate, palm-lined central park or lunch at one of the many typical small cafes serving local food in town awaits visitors to Atenas. Located on the Central Valley’s western edge, Atenas is a slice of quintessential small town Costa Rican life. With just 5,000 inhabitants (17,000 including the suburbs), Atenas is famous for having one of the best climates in the world, according to National Geographic. The words “El Mejor Clima del Mundo” are emblazoned on every Atenas bus; a valid claim as daily temperatures hover around 80 degrees and dip into the 60s at night. Temperatures: Daily averages 77 to 86 °F. Evenings vary from 62-70 °F. Altitude: 2600 feet above sea level.

Amazing Property
I've been tracking Joe's Atenas property on VRBO for several years, always wondering if it was as fabulous as the pictures and reviews made it appear. It was everything and more! Exquisitely appointed yet perfectly comfortable, it was the ideal layout for our two couples/4 adults group. The woodwork is truly gorgeous, throughout so tastefully decorated and discreetly presented as a rental; every inch immaculate. It truly felt as if we were staying as personal guests. Elias was wonderfully helpful, too. A perfect place for the week. Thanks so much for sharing your amazing property!

Palace in the hills
Perfect from start to finish. Great communication with the owner. The caretaker Elias is a gem. The property is meticulously cared for and very well appointed. The private lush grounds and the architecture/layout make this place special. Iguanas, leaf cutter ants, and views with high flying hawks abound. We had a great time here. Perfect for our first couple days in Costa Rica before traveling West.

Paradise in Costa Rica’s Blue Zone
This was our second stay as guests at Villa Tamarindo. The property is a beautifully gated, and private villa tucked away on a hill outside Atenas inside a gated community. It’s the definition of tranquility and Pura Vida. The living quarters are well furnished and very clean. The sleeping quarters are in two separate bungalows to provide additional privacy and luxury. We really enjoyed the pool and jacuzzi during our extended stays. Elias the property manager is kind and was always available and very responsive to our every needs. Atenas is a nice small town with a handful of nice restaurants and cafes. Highly recommend it. We will be back again!. Thank you for another fabulous stay!

Beautiful Pool and Gardens
This property is outstanding. The pool is the largest we have seen in Costa Rica. The gardens are unbelievable throughout the entire property. The lush vegetation provided total privacy. We loved having the 3 separate buildings for the common areas abs 2 bedroom suites. I would highly recommend.

Crazy Wonderful!!!
We finished our time in Costa Rica at this villa. We were greeted by the caretaker with a smile and a grand tour of the property. After time at the HOT beach area of C. R., it was a treat to have the cool breezes and pool to relax. (Reading books, napping and playing cards were our main activities.) The owner, was very responsive via email when we had a couple of questions. We didn't even leave the property, but stopped at the grocery store in town and gathered what we wanted for our 3 night stay. We will definitely be back when we travel in and out of San Jose Airport.

Beautiful home on top of a quiet mountain top. Was able to see the clouds roll in and hear the birds in the treetops. What a perfect way to end our trip in Costa Rica, close the airport, yet far enough away that it made you feel like you escaped the city. Just breathtaking!
