The pool was as advertised: very nice temperature and large enough for a family. The TV worked well with many channels but we did not use it.Eunice, the local property manager, was quickly responsive to text and phone communications.We enjoyed our time at Villa Serenidad immensely.

Kitchen was well appointed. Large dining table. Comfortable sitting area to enjoy the fabulous views. Pool to cook off.

Animals 😊

We stayed with our family of 10. Everyone fit perfectly. Location was a dream. Loved waking up to cows mooing and birds chitchatting. We even had large toads eating all the bugs at night, which became a regular evening event that entertained us. Pool was a lifesaver with all day activities and the heat and humidity.

Nature lovers paradise

A great place to reconnect with nature and friends, play some cards on the terrace and cool off in the pool. The kitchen is well equipped, the beds were comfy. The house looks like the photos. Atenas was hot while we were here so the pool helped tremendously - would not recommend staying at a house without a pool in the dry season there! The evenings were nice and cool and two of the bedrooms had very large windows with screens so that created a great breeze. The BBQ was brand new and almost industrial sized. It fed our group of 6 easily. Highly recommend taking advantage of that!Eunice was great to work with - very easy going and also took care of our every need.

Amazing place

Hi Jeff and Kara, Your place is beautiful, it has an amazing view! The high ceilings and the master bedroom were our favorite but every corner of the house is gorgeous. We loved to see our kids enjoy the pool while watching them from inside the house. We had an amazing stay! Also, Eunice was great with the communication. We are giving you 5 stars. The only thing we would add to make it completely perfect would be the A/C, at least in the rooms…. It was over 85 and at some point we had to go to the car to cool down. We would’ve stayed longer if it had it. Thank you! Johanna and Omar.

Great Family Vacation

The Villa Serenidad was the perfect home for our family vacation. The outdoor pool area was enjoyed by all 7 of us to swim and enjoy the gorgeous scenic overlook to the valley and the mountains beyond. The inside space included everything we needed; a very well stocked kitchen, laundry, nice appliances, long and roomy dining room table, comfortable seating in the great room, bedrooms and baths were also fine. This is a quiet neighborhood to enjoy scenic Costa Rica. We met a kind and friendly neighbor who cooked a delicious dinner for us. The communication with the property owners and the property manager was very easy and efficient. Upon engagement for the property, Jeff sent a precise and detailed copy of everything concerning the house. Our family is still talking about the trip and sharing memories.

Family Vacation

We stay 2 1/2 weeks at Villa Serenidad and enjoyed the vacation with the complete family - 7 adults and 2 toddlers. We particularly liked the rural surroundings and the fantastic view of nature. The children had fun with the farm animals every day and we enjoyed the unusual visitors. We used the pool every day and it is ideal for children. In the village of Atenas there are numerous shopping opportunities and typical restaurants. The wealth of information in the Vills Serenidad manual was very helpful. Valentino was also available for us the whole time and we were happy to make use of his numerous contacts and information. Oscar in particular - driver and friend - helped us to discover Costa Rica's natural parks in a relaxed way on day trips. The vacation in the villa will remain unforgettable for us.

AMAZING!

Villa Serenidad exceeded our expectations! It is a beautiful home and the view is wonderful. We really liked watching the cows and calves next door and meeting Iggy the iguana. The people of Atenas and all of Costa Rica are welcoming and so helpful with those who are not at all fluent in Spanish! I don't think we ever had even close to a bad meal either! We took advantage of having a meal cooked and delivered to us and it was delicious. Our friends joined us for a part of our stay and we heard many exclamations of 'nirvana' and 'heavenly'. Thank you for letting us stay at your property. Maybe the only negative comment we would have is that there is no hammock! That didn't seem to get in the way of our enjoying the pool and veranda, however, so it maybe it isn't a necessity after all.

Great home in a great location!

We have been to CR several times and wanted to do something different for this trip. Renting a home in this location turned out to be a nice change. Unfortunately, the pool was a bit too cool for us but it was so nice to have a private, quiet space to relax in between our outings. We had coffee as we enjoyed the views each morning with the birds singing and finished up with a drink in the evening as we looked out at the lights twinkling in the distane. This home is set next to a working farm, meaning there arent homes right up against you, and it was fun to hear the cows mooing, birds talking, and watching the occasional visiting iguana come by to say hello. Communication from the owner was fast and he was thorough with all the relevant information. When asked, he recommended the neighbor to prepare and delivered an excellent CR dish for our first night. After a long travel day, it was so convenient to have that brought to us! Overall, it was everything we hoped it would be. The home is quite spacious and I'd definitely recommend it for a couple or a group. Plus, the price for a home that size and that nice is more than worth it!

Villa Serenidad is aptly named

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa Serenidad. The house was clean and spacious, with screened doors and windows all around to let in the breeze. The swimming pool and shaded patio were peaceful and inviting. The pool was immaculate and the there were plenty of poolside chairs and tables for our group of 4. The location of the Villa on a dead-end road in a gated community made for a very private stay. The only traffic sounds were the mooing of cows on their way down the path to the river. The Villa was a little further from town than expected (we thought we would be walking to town), mostly because we didn’t understand the reality of roads and pedestrians in Costa Rica. Even so, the drive is short and there are good restaurants, banks and a nice supermarket within a ten-minute drive. We took day trips to the Poás Volcano, Las Mina, and Jaco - all very doable in an easy day. The property manager Eunice was very responsive to the few questions we had (highly recommend WhatsApp for communication), neighbor Heidy made and delivered a lovely Costa Rican meal to the Villa, and Oscar arranged for a very competent masseuse to come to the Villa. We felt very well cared for. It sure was quiet when we had to pack up and leave - very sad to leave this little slice of heaven.

Relaxing, comforting Villa, and Full Service Experience!

My friends and I came to Costa Rica for the first time and we are happy with Villa Serenidad! It was perfect for the 7 of us. It has all the amenities you’d need for either group of adults or families with kids. Made lots of meals and enjoyed lots of pool time! Jeff was very helpful communicating transportation from the airport and around in Atenas. He provides a very thorough guide way before check in that helped plan our 6 days in Alajuela. One guide included the local contacts that can help, including Eunice the property manager and Oscar, local tour driver. Eunice helped us arrange check in and any small questions we had during our stay. The neighbors are also very friendly and even made my group dinner for our last night. I do want to recommend taking advantage of the contacts that Jeff shares. As my group was big, many attractions in Costa Rica are quite spread out, and we also had limited Spanish speaking knowledge, we knew we’d need to look into shuttles, rent a car, and a guide. We shared our itinerary with Oscar, who works with the Villa owners and will take you wherever in Costa Rica you need, and are we so so glad we did! We went to Jaco for catamaran, coffee tour at Doka Coffee Plantation, Monteverde for zip lining, and La Paz Waterfalls, and Oscar was with us every step of the way. He has many CR contacts and can take you off the beaten path. Super friendly and he really made our trip special and comfortable. Amazing vacation, can’t recommend enough!
