Amazing Honeymoon
Review Submitted: October 29, 2009
Date of Stay: September 2009
My husband and I stayed at PicaFlora for our honeymoon. The pictures on the homeaway site are accurate, however, upon arrival our jaws dropped at the absolute beauty. The house was equipped with EVERYTHING and if you don't have something, the gentlemen who manage the property will do everything in their power to ensure your needs are met. The location is wonderful. We rented a car and were within 1-1.5 hours of everywhere we wanted to go. The people in Alajuela are some of the nicest I've ever met. We had an AMAZING honeymoon and were so sad to leave. We will definitely return.

I initially wanted to go to all the usual touristy spots in Costa Rica, so was somewhat concerned how a week in the small town of Atenas would go. Anyone who wants to see a lot of Costa Rica, but would still like to have what will be the most relaxing week of your year, would be well advised to build an itinerary around this villa. We started by getting lots of adrenaline out of our systems in La Fortuna, came to Atenas to relax, and finally went to enjoy the beaches and see monkeys in Manuel Antonio. Atenas is a very charming town with an Amazing climate (I was concerned about not having A/C, but the night time temperate allowed it to be comfortable, even with a duvey on. The master bed room is really nice and the bed is very comfortable (not pictured) There is lots of privacy on the property which feels great. If you don't want to drive, taking the local bus in combination with taxis at some points is very managable. I'd probably only recommend the bus though if staying in Costa Rica longer than a week and taxi into town is only 2-3US. We found it an effective and very cheap means of transportation. (doing the bus research goes a long way though - knowing schedules, and buying tickets for long routes in advance). The pictures shown do accurately show you what you'll get, and you may still have a jaw dropping moment knowing this will be your home for a week! SImply put - a beautiful place in a beautiful country!!!

The home is gorgeous and we thoroughly enjoyed the stay. The property managers were amazing and so helpful during our stay. I would highly recommend this location to anyone looking to get away from the hectic day to day...there is no tv and we loved that.
Truly a Paradise

This was without a doubt the best home away from home we have stayed in. We enjoyed touring the area, but most of all we enjoyed being in the lovely "Mountain Paradise". Thanks for sharing such a lovely home with strangers.

For a couple of senior citizens, this place was almost too romantic!
The openess, comfort, view, pool and hot tub demanded we forget our old age.
The kitchen, moving walls, lighting, breezeway, and the impressive Bali design were over the top.
If you are not ready to take on laziness and luxury as a lifestyle...don't come here!

My wife and I spent a wonderful week at this fabulous home. The pictures on the web do not do it justice. We had a great time and loved the house. My wife was very disappointed that we had to leave. If you are thinking of taking a vacation and want to get away to a peaceful, relaxing place, then book this house! This was my 20th anniversary present to my wife - we will always have great memories of our time at pica flora. You will too.

I have taken several vacations over the past 48 years of my life but NOTHING compaired to the trip we just completed. Your home there is unbelievable !! We stayed in the guest bedroom and kept the "Walls" open all night and awakened to the most spectacular view every morning. Dennis and Gerardo are the best. They even hand delivered 30lbs. of local coffee for us to bring back to the states.Gerardo taught me so much about his country and customs. I could sit and talk to him for hours. Tico's drive like wild men.. but you learn to drive like them in no time. We all had a great vacation and are already talking about a return trip. I wanted to drop you a line and tell you want a beautiful place you have. My wife Holly also wrote in your guest book. Do me a favor and never put a TV in your place. It was so nice to sit around.. have a couple cold Imperials.. and talk for a change instead of being glued to a TV set. We had a great time and are planning to return!!
