About this property

Spectacular Luxury Vacation Home - Breathtaking Views - Best Climate

La Perla de Atenas, The Pearl of Atenas, is an incredible home, made just for you because you deserve the best. This spectacular luxury home can be your perfect vacation stay in Atenas.

The place to be in Costa Rica, famous for having the best climate in the world, and centrally located to the main attractions of Costa Rica. A fabulous property situated in the most exclusive gated community in Atenas, conveniently located within walking distance to the center of this quaint little town.

When entering this amazing home one gets dazzled by its beauty. A uniquely designed inner courtyard and fountain welcome you into this exquisite home with a luxurious and comfortable living room, media room, fully equipped kitchen with butler's pantry, and a formal dining room.

Taken in by the beautiful artwork and decorations, plush bedroom furniture and beddings, expansive outdoor deck with sparkling clear pool, hot tub/jacuzzi, cold plunge pool, and inviting lounge furniture – it's almost too overwhelming.
Start your day with a tropical breakfast on the outdoor patio, take a swim in the pool, and enjoy a good glass of wine while overseeing the beautiful view of the valley below and the mountains beyond; all ingredients for a wonderful vacation at “La Perla de Atenas” – and you can have it all.

This beautiful home has 3 bedrooms, each with en-suite bathrooms, double sinks, and walk-in closets comfortably accommodating up to 6 people. The master suite has a king-size bed with a luxurious Tempurpedic mattress, 2 walk-in closets, a jacuzzi bathtub, a separate luxurious shower, and a sauna steam room. There are two separate guest suites, both tastefully furnished with comfortable king-sized beds and dressers. WiFi, cable, and local telephone are enabled for convenience.

On the property, there are many full-grown trees that tropical birds like toucans, Montezuma Oropendolas, and motmots, visit all the time. Wake up in the morning to the sound of nature, stroll outside, and pick your healthy breakfast from the many fruit trees; orange, mango, guanabana, clementine, star fruit, and water apple, make a great start for a wonderful new day in paradise.

As an additional service to our house guests, we 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 (something to particularly consider when you have night-time travel plans, but a nice comfort to have in any event). We also provide car rentals 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, and tours custom-made to our guests' requests throughout Costa Rica.

Our property managers, Aad, Marian, Marco Veltman, and Klaas & Sandra are multilingual (English-Dutch-Spanish-German) from The Netherlands, are ready to welcome you to La Perla de Atenas, and will do everything within their power to make your stay a great success.
They can arrange for you to have your fridge stocked with your favorite groceries upon arrival or have a home-cooked meal ready for you on your arrival day.

For guests that stay longer than 10 days, weekly cleaning is included, our wonderful housekeeper Isabel is a jewel.

La Perla de Atenas is a high-class comfortable home with endless daytime views, glorious sunsets, and twinkling evening lights of the valley. A perfect place to be, and is waiting for you to spend your well-deserved vacation.

Beautiful Place
Our second stay at La Perla. A beautiful comfortable well equipped house with everything you could possibly need. Sandra was great and went out of her way to get a forgotten item sent to us. If you are looking for privacy, views and luxury all within close range to the city of Atenas, grocery stores, and many things to see and do, La Perla is the place! Highly recommend!

Family vacation time
We enjoyed our stay at the Villa. We did feel that there are some things that need attention such as holes in screen and most of the doors don't lock so you have to put poles across the bottom of them. The media room was definately not as expected and the TV is very old. My guys look forward to watching movies at night and also playing video games and the internet was not good in that room. The TV really needs to be upgraded. A coat of paint could also be used in some areas as the walls are quite dirty in the Butlers Pantry and a few other areas in particular. The dishes in the cupboard were not very clean and I quickly realized it's because the dishwasher doesn't clean at all. We handwashed everything for the whole stay including before we left. Coffee machine needs to be replaced as it doesn't filter through very well and we had to stand there and keep lifting the filter up as the water passed through. I think a good walk through to see what needs updating and cleaning would be very good. We loved the stay and the outside area was perfect for us. Beds were probably the most comfortable I have ever had at any VRBO. We had the chef come in one night and all the excursions planned were perfect and Sandra or Marco were on time for everything. They made everything go flawless for us. All in all a good vacation and the villa is beautiful.

A truly wonderful stay at La Perla De Atenas
This home is beautiful! The views of the countryside and Poas Volcano were spectacular from the floor to ceiling windows, and especially from the expansive outdoor living area where we had leisurely meals and relaxed. Atenas has clean air, a cool climate, and just the right mixture of local flavor in a smaller town with conveniences (grocery store, sodas, restaurants, taxis). Located in a gated subdivision, the home and its gorgeously landscaped grounds are also gated so we felt relaxed and safe. The home is even more beautiful than the pictures. The property managers Aad and Marian made our stay stress-free and we can't thank them enough for seeing to all of our needs. We took advantage of many of their services such as airport pick up and drop off, excursions with transportation, and private tours. They are part of the Atenas community, with many friends there, and the tours they arrange have this added experience with the charming and friendly local people. We would give Aad and Mirian six stars if we could! Gracias! Pura Vida! Trish and Bruce
