Photos and Description of the Alajuela vacation cottage rental

Casita Alta Vista is a cottage in the classic Latin style with white walls, red tile roof and terracotta tile floor. Plenty of ventilation with vented windows on all four sides and a vented atrium in the center. Large covered front porch with beautiful views. You don't need air conditioning because the weather in Atenas is always mild. National Geographic magazine claims Atenas has the best climate in the world! Large floor fan available. The cottage is at the top of a two-acre lot with fabulous views of the Central Valley, the volcanoes, and the mountains and valleys to the north as well. Landscaped with local flowers, fruit trees, and lawn. The cottage is small but fully appointed with all kitchen utensils, flatware, stainless steel cookware, automatic coffee maker, two small refrigerators, and four-burner electric stove with oven. Free cell phone available with refundable deposit. Bodega (small garage) with washing machine. State-of-the-art security system, wall and gate.

Atenas is at the west end of the Central Valley, and the cottage overlooks the entire valley, including the volcanoes Poas and Irazu. Atenas is a lovely town with a beautiful park in the center. Atenas is located about midway between San Jose and the pacific beaches. It is about 45 minutes drive to the center of San Jose and about an hour from the pacific coast. It is 20-25 minutes from the cottage to Juan Santamaria International Airport. Atenas is about 20-25 minutes from the Alajuela shopping mall, where there are a wide variety of retail shops, two movie theaters, a supermarket and a fast-food mall. In Grecia, a 15-minute drive from Atenas, is the snake zoo, which is famous for having all kinds of exotic reptiles.
