About this property

Atenas Mountain Top Villa - Heated Pool- Breathtaking Views. AC in the bedrooms

Jewel Villa is a fully equipped, luxurious 3-bedroom home on a hill. It offers breathtaking 360-degree mountain and Central Valley views of San Jose, Mount Poás, and Downtown Atenas.

Whether you are admiring the expansive views from the cliffside solar heated pool and gas-heated jacuzzi, relishing a scenic stroll through the safe gated community, or enjoying the sunrise, sunset, and nightfall from the two outdoor decks.
This fantastic home is your idyllic getaway to restore and reset in Pura Vida paradise. It is only 15 minutes from the local bars, restaurants, and farmer's market. A scenic drive to Jaco Beach, rainforests, and volcanoes is nearby.

We sincerely hope you will allow this home to be your home away from home as you soak in everything Costa Rica has to offer.

The villa is built on a 1.4-acre Roca Verde plot amidst a newly blooming tropical garden and fruit trees. The home comfortably sleeps six guests in spacious bedrooms (one king master suite, one king guest suite, and one queen guest suite); all bedrooms have air conditioning. There are three private full bathrooms with a 24/7 solar-heated water supply.

The master suite has access to the large private deck and mountain views. The highlights of this home are the open indoor and outdoor living and kitchen areas, which feature a traditional Costa Rican-style wood ceiling and brand-new, luxurious furnishings.

The home has a 65-inch flat-screen smart TV, high-speed internet service, and kitchen appliances.

Our property management team, Klaas and Sandra de Graaf, a multilingual (English-Dutch-Spanish) couple from The Netherlands, are ready to welcome you to Jewel Villa and will do everything possible to make your stay a great success.

As an additional service to our house guests, they offer a fee-based airport pick-up and drop-off to help you avoid the potential hassles involved in the transitions into and out of your time in Costa Rica (great especially when you have late travel plans, but a nice comfort to have in any event). They also provide car rentals (delivered to the house) and tours to all corners of the country, including the Poas and Arenal volcanoes, La Paz Waterfall Gardens, a private Catamaran Sailing tour, a visit to an Organic Coffee farm, all kinds of adventurous activities (f.e. zipline, rafting, ATV, horseback riding, fishing, sailing, hiking, etc) and tours custom made to our guests' requests throughout Costa Rica.

Pamper yourself and make arrangements with our managers for grocery delivery (stocking fridge at arrival), catering, private chef at the house, wellness treatments, and more.

Jewel Villa and its staff are set up to allow you to enjoy an incredible vacation—stress-free, surrounded by beauty and luxury.

Atenas is famous for the best weather in the world, its welcoming community, and its central location, making it the perfect getaway for your next vacation.

Weekly cleaning is included for guests who stay longer than 10 days. Our wonderful housekeeper, Isabel, is excellent.

Beautiful views and great location

This house was beautiful. The views from the pool and patios were amazing.. you can see for miles and miles. The 3 on suite bedrooms are great and the kitchen was fully stocked with supplies. The gated community added a layer of safety. Sandra was always super helpful with suggestions and helping plan tours and giving advice. Perfect secluded get away

Beautiful home

We had an amazing week in Costa Rica. The property is on a mountain side which results in a temperature about 3 or 4 Celsius cooler than in town . There is also a light breeze that helps keep the temperature comfortable. All 3 bedrooms were lovely and spacious and each had their own ensuite. We absolutely loved it!

Beautiful view

My family and I had a great time! The house is very spacious and had everything we need. The view is breathtaking, and we enjoyed it every day. Klaas and his wife Sandra were very attentive and took care of all the details quickly and efficiently from our arrival to our departure. With our tours and everything we needed. They were amazing I would recommend renting a car with Maria from Alamo, she was wonderful. We already miss our days in Costa Rica!!

Best vacation ever

This was our first experience with a VRBO property and we knocked it out of the park. Not only was the property amazing (super clean, spacious, beautiful views, etc), but our property managers Klaas and Sandra went above and beyond. Not only did they do our grocery shopping for us ahead of time, but Klaas hooked us up with an english-speaking cab driver, a list of recommendations, and was essentially our tour guide for all the excursions we took. He provided a ton of information about the area, the locals, and the particular places we visited. He also made sure that we were safe and prepared for each excursion. One of the options we chose was probably not safe for my daughter and MIL due to all the rain they just had so he helped us find another option that was better suited. It was the perfect way to explore a new area for people who had never been and were english-speaking. It was an incredible adventure with zero stress.

Roca Verder

Lovely property, very clean, ample parking, secure gated community, all the facilities and some at the house. Nice welcome gift of local coffee and bananas. The views over San Jose beyond the pool were amazing at both day and night. Atenas is a nice town. Sandra our host made some recommendations which were great. Monsoon, La Jardin as well as some other places we found in the hills. Costa Tica is lush and beautiful and it would be great to go back and explore further.

Paradise in the Mountains

The house was incredible, and the pictures do not do it justice. We stayed 5 nights and I wish we stayed longer. Sandra, Marco, and Klaas were amazing, and they helped organize all our adventures. We did the private catamaran with Neil, the speedboat with Robert and Ziplining. All of those were amazing. We will definitely be back!

Absolutely Stunning Atenas home

Sandra's home was an amazing place to relax and enjoy all the beauty Costa Rica. The pool was great and the views could not be beat. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need to make meals as well as welcome coffee that was very appreciated. The beds were very comfy and each room has fans too keep cool. 10/10, recommend staying at Sandra's home. Her husband and her were knowledgeable on the area and able to give us multiple recommendations and provide transport from SJO.

Fantastic Getaway

We had a wonderful stay at this property. The views are unreal and far exceed the pictures shown. Communication with Sandra and Klass was wonderful and they were very helpful in making our stay so great. They had wonderful recommendations for eating, and our private chef they hired for us knocked it out of the park. Wish the week did not go by as fast as it did!

Perfect!

This house is amazing. The pictures really do not do it justice. Even my teens agreed. With the amazing views, lots of outdoor space and a lot of indoor space for us to spread out, we could not have picked a better place to stay. The hosts were very responsive and helpful. We all loved having our own private pool and hot tub that we could use 24/7. The kitchen had everything we needed. And it was very convenient having our own washer and dryer in the house. There is no AC, but we never had an issue with the many ceiling fans, floor fans, and slider doors. I highly recommend this rental.
