Further details for this vacation house rental in Atenas, Costa Rica

The property: You enter the property through a beautiful iron gate. Immediately after passing through the banana and mango trees you will see the caretaker's house on the right and citrus trees, including oranges, tangerines and limon on your left. Ahead another 100 meters is the bridge over the Quebrada (a small river) shaded by the beautiful Pavele trees. Pass over the bridge and travel up the curving road another 170 meters past the Bougainvillea, Ginger, Oleanders, and Palms to the house we call 'Serenity'. The road continues past the house another 700 meters to the back pasture. A walk to the back will be rewarded with a beautiful view of the mountains. The River is at the back of the property, but the hill down to the river is steep.

The house: This brand new house was designed to take maximum advantage of the extraordinary Atenas weather. Atenas was recognized by National Geographic magazine as having the best weather in the world. Unlike the coast, with its scorching tropical sun, the days in Atenas are pleasant and the evenings cool. The home is surrounded by high ceilinged terraces on three sides. Each terrace offers a different breathtaking view. Only native woods were used to build the vaulted ceilings, doors and cabinets creating a calming, tranquil environment. The home is furnished with award winning, comfortable, designer furniture, quality lighting, professional appliances, jacuzzi tub and other amenities to assure your comfort. A very wonderful feature of this house is that you can open the doors from the north and south of the house and have a cross view and cross breeze through the entire house. Air conditioning is completely unnecessary.

Your visit: This property has a caretaker who can bring you fresh eggs in the morning and seasonal fruit from the farm. We have a management company available to meet and greet you and assist you in anything you may need to make your stay the best possible. The house is only twenty five minutes from the San Jose airport. You can rent a car or take a taxi from the airport. Atenas has everything you could need: restaurants, grocery stores, doctors, chiropractors, pharmacists, coffee shops, bakeries, etc. You can take day trips to Poaz Volcano, the Pacific coast, which is famous for surfing and deep sea fishing, one of the many natural parks, zip lines, waterfalls, and other attractions. Atenas is ideally located to explore Costa Rica. We strongly recommend that if you rent a car that you rent a four wheel drive. If you have any questions in reference to staying at Finca Colina Paula, please feel free to write to us or call. We will be happy to assist you

Finca Dream

trebron Washington - Toulouse - Muenchen
Review Submitted: April 16, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
Colina Paula is just incredible ! Best Finca ever seen and lived, unfortunately for a short stay only; extrem perfectly maintained and equipped with Tonia's excellent taste. The mood in the house, the surroundings, the views in the morning and evenings make you totally relaxed...The preparation of the contract and arrangements are very satisfying and gives yoy the feeling of being really welcomed. I already have shown many photos to my friends who are frequently speechless whow I find such exciting villas respectively owners. To go around in the countryside is easy and it is near to a lot of wonderfull national parks and other attractions. My spouse only could come for 1 night and fall directly in love, so our next visit is just a matter of time... Felicitations sinceres !!

A month of Pure Life

terrestar04 Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
Review Submitted: March 15, 2009 Date of Stay: February 2009
Our first time in Costa Rica and we found a little bit of paradise. The property is wonderful, private, but not isolated. The grounds are beautiful and the whole property is peaceful and relaxing. It is close enough to town for a night out or to buy groceries. For a little excitement you can drive to the beaches or national parks.
We stayed for a month and feel in love with Costa Rica and would stay here again! We highly recommend this property and would like to express our thanks to the owners and property managers for making our stay stress free and peaceful.
By the way, the weather was perfect, the people friendly and the pace was relaxed. We highly recommend Atenas and Finca Colinapaula!

The Real Costa Rica

be back Texas, USA
Review Submitted: January 2, 2009 Date of Stay: December 2008
This was absolutely wonderful and family friendly. You have the opportunity to see the real Costa Rica while you stay in luxury accomadations. There is so much there than what is mentioned: a full library, games, ipod docking station/radio, fresh flowers, soaps, shampoo, beach towels, tons more. There is a caretaker that lives on the property to help with anything you need, he is great. There is even a Spanish dictionary. You are close enough to go to the beach, zip line, there is a bird zoo, wonderful restaurants (La Trocha), open markets, and shopping in the city of Atenas. I would definitly recommend staying here. The owners are great and go above and beyond to make sure your visit is unforgetable! The house and the grounds are immaculate! It is very close to the airport but a world away.
