The property is set on a hill top, surrounded by coffee plantations and cattle ranches, offering peace, tranquility, “pura vida” and spectacular views of San Jose and the Central Valley, both night and day.
The home has a traditional “colonial” layout (U shape), with two distinct wings that are separated by a beautiful garden courtyard, complete with fountain and tropical plant
s.

Through out the home the rooms are spacious and airy with high ceilings. Built in the year 2000, to USA standards, our house has all the comforts of back home.

Atenas has spring like conditions all year round. The daytime highs are in the 80’s and the lows at night are in the 60’s. The two master suites have air conditioning and all the rooms have ceiling fans. There is always a nice breeze and the temperature is mild so you rarely need the fans or air conditioning.
There is a full time Gardener who works from 6 AM to 12:00 noon Mon- Fridays. Our multi-lingual Property Managers, Aad and Marian, live nearby and can be reached by phone to help with any questions that might arise during your stay. They will do anything possible to make your stay a success. They can even arrange custom tours, through their travel agency, and they also offer a airport pick up or delivery service if you notify them ahead of time.
Every Friday morning Atenas has an open air Farmers Market that has an abundance of fresh fruits, huge variety of vegetables, cheeses, fresh flowers, plants and herbs, fish, pork, chicken and home baked goods available for purchase. Atenas also has three supermarkets, several banks with ATM’s, several pharmacies, a number of sodas (small restaurants) that serve breakfast and lunch and many wonderful restaurants. One of our favorite gringo hangouts is Kay’s Gringo Postres where you can have breakfast or lunch and meet many local ex-Pats who live in the area.
Since we are centrally located there are many attractions within driving distance so it is very easy to take day sightseeing trips. (Ask about assistance with transportation needs.) In the living room, you will find a Notebook with information about things to do in the area with brochures from many of the Central Valley attractions. Also in the Notebook is a Yellow Pages of vendors in the Atenas area. You are less than an hour from Poas Volcano, the nearby LaPaz waterfalls and Butterfly Farm, San Jose Museums, San Jose Amusement Park, Jaco Beach and other less touristed central pacific beaches and Casinos.
