Judd/Liz have created a beautiful oasis in Villa Passiflora.
Accommodations are exactly as described. The Villa is beautiful and well-appointed with everything needed for a wonderful stay. Not a detail was missed.
The grounds are full of surprises with the most beautiful tropical flora. And the view… nothing short of spectacular. As well, take time to spot the wildlife. We saw capuchin monkeys, toucans, iguana, hummingbirds, chacalacas, just to name few.
Their house manager, was kind, knowledgeable and available if needed. We’ve never encountered a house manager of this caliber.
If you’re considering booking this property, DO IT. You won’t be disappointed and that’s a promise.

I second what the other reviewers all say and could go on and on. Basically, if this beautiful home piques your interest, just book it. It is an absolute dream. The owners, Judd and Liz, and their house manager, Leticia, are so kind, helpful, and responsive. With their communication and blog, it made planning the entire trip so much easier as well. It's a great location to be able to drive to different points in Costa Rica and see the lay of the land. (We visited San Jose, La Fortuna, and Jaco during our stay.) Bliss... perfection... Just book it. When you arrive, you'll be thrilled that you did!

What to say? Beautiful home, wonderful owners and manager,great location. We loved having this home as our base and will definitely be back again. Thank you!!!!

For our second week in Costa Rica, we chose this home in Atenas. The photos do not do it justice- it is such a wonderful and relaxing retreat. The private pool and outdoor shower allowed a connection no nature. Hammock and hanging chairs, lush landscaping, toucans…. Just too much to mention. We will return to this special place. Lizz did massages on the breezeway our last day to the sound of rain and the birds. Communication was excellent.
4.9
This home is absolutely amazing. It is immaculant and well kept and the pictures dont do it justice. One of the owners of the home Judd was absolutely amazing recommending things to do, restaurants, and various activities. The property manager Leticia was exceptional as well. We needed for nothing and any question I asked was returned promply with kindess. I highly recommend this property not only for the splendor that it is...in the mountains with some of the most beautiful and picturesque scenery i have ever seen. My family and i will return and will stay in the exact house again. They made one of my dads bucket list items amazing and I will remember that for the rest of my life. Hats off to such amazing people and the kindness that was giving. You should be proud of your beautiful home and your management team. Job well done.

We were looking for a week of pure relaxation and that’s exactly what we got! The house is beautiful. We took a couple of day trips (Playa Blanca and the cloud forest), but the highlight of our trip was lounging in the hammock, dipping in the pool and watching the cows walk by at twilight. Great spot if you are looking for a restful escape, or a more local experience. The owners also offer a variety of day trips if you are looking for more adventure!

Wonderful property with beautiful Mountain views. We really enjoyed our stay.

Thank you for sharing your house with us! We could not ask for more.
4.9
Absolutely beautiful home that we enjoyed very much. If you are looking for a quiet place to relax..this is it! The roads are quite curvey to get to the beaches if you do not take the toll road. Long car rides to Jaco and San Manuel Antonio National Park. Not too far from SJO airport.
4.9
We had an AMAZING time in Costa Rica and Liz and Jud’s home was a highlight. It was exactly as listed. We enjoyed all the spaces and the openness of the home. The landscaping and pool were well kept and we enjoyed both. Leticia, the property manager was very helpful, and was a good resource and did a great job communicating. We enjoyed a home cooked meal prepared by a chef that Leticia recommended and also enjoyed massages at the house. The house is located in a gated community and we felt very safe there. We would recommend the property to anyone.

I don't really know where to begin in my review of this property. After booking our vacation, I had lots of questions. I reached out to property owners. They were so helpful. No matter how trivial the question, I received a quick response. Owners directed me to Leticia, the housekeeper who assisted me with everything nessasary to insure a wonderful trip. Owners provided assistance with day trip ideas and reached out to make sure we were having a wonderful time. Leticia met us at property upon our arrival to explain everything and any issue that came up. We took advantage of Chef Aaron recommended by Leticia to come to property to cook us a wonderful meal. ( Highly recommend). Leticia was a phone call away to assist. Okay, now the property itself: This is an absolute beautiful property. We enjoyed it so much. We planned a couple days just at house to relax. House is a very open air concept. No air, but it was not missed. House had everything
we needed to be comfortable and enjoy our stay. Pool was relaxing and very private. We were there almost two weeks. We enjoyed fresh bananas and tangerines grown on property.
House is centrally located in Costa Rica so we were able to go any direction for adventure.
Our trip included ATV riding near Jaco. A visit to Manuel Antonio, white river rafting, hiking Arenal Volcano, hanging bridges in La Fortuna, visit to Poas' volcano, Toledo coffee tour.
Thank you Judd, Liz and Leticia for a very memorable trip.

My husband and I travel to the Atenas, Costa Rica area every year and have had the opportunity to stay at many properties. This is SUCH a beautiful property. We loved the covered breezeway between the main house and the bedrooms...we spent hours there reading, playing cards, eating...the area is beautiful. The pool had both shade and sun most of the day. I am a sun lover, my husband not so much...this pool was perfect for the both of us! This home had many niches, it would be perfect for a group. Places to spend time together, yet enough places to find solitude. The view from the outdoor eating/grill area is gorgeous. What a picturesque spot to spend an afternoon or have an evening meal.
The property is located in a gated community in the very friendly town of Atenas. It felt so very safe and secure. Judd, Liz and their property manager Leticia were wonderful! Fantastic communication, checking in to make sure your stay was going well, the attention to make sure you were comfortable...they are a 10/10 team! The gardener, Darwin, kindly left us mandarins one morning after attending to the property. The whole team is just so kind. We would highly recommend this experience to anyone who is thinking about staying in the area! You will be so very happy that you did!!
4.9
From the first moment we were thrilled with our stay here. Leticia helped us get settled and stayed in touch. There is really no word to describe the beauty, comfort and decor of Villa Passiflora. Great birding, fresh fruit, flowers and views; access to many places of interest. Best lodging experience of a lifetime.
4.9
The planning for our family trip began a year ago when I found this stunning property. Liz and Judd were extremely helpful with the planning of our first trip to Costa Rica.
They have a beautiful blog that gives you excellent tips, a wonderful property manager Leticia that helps with on site needs and suggestions for other options to add to your vacation like a chef prepared meal and on-site massages-which we did both. Chef Aaron was so accommodating of our dietary needs and Heidi was the sweetest masseuse. Eduardo was our driver for most of the trip and he was perfecto!
We also used Coati tours to see Poas and La Paz waterfalls. They did an amazing job coordinating our tour and even helped with a last minute change.
The property was beautiful and had everything we needed for an excellent stay. Waking up to the beautiful views and wildlife was everything we wanted and needed from our vacation. Thank you again for everything! Pura Vida!

Very good communication from owners and Property Manager, Leticia. House was comfortable and enjoyable during our stay - we loved opening the doors and enjoying the fresh breeze. It’s a great location to enjoy nature and discover local restaurants. We had a chef come twice and massages at the house - it was wonderful. Leticia gave us great recommendations.
4.9
It's all true-the pics are spot on (although we have some amazing night shots). This is a gorgeous slice of paradise. My advice-put down your device and walk around the property. Look up to the mountains before you. The lush green foliage, the grazing cows, birds. Look in front of you-humming birds and butterflies. Below you-a small farm with a rooster-who we grew to love and anticipate.
My hubby says things begin at the top. The owners of this gorgeous property have a website that we leaned on planned from. Their property manager, Leticia is a gem! She welcomed us upon arrival. With pride she showed us around. With skill she shared reliable taxi drivers, tour operators, a chef and massage therapist and we took everything in!
In 12 days we experienced the Farmers' Market, Paos Volcano,Playa Esterillos, El Toledo Coffee plantation tour, Arenal Volcano, zip lining, Tabacon hot springs, Mystic hanging bridges, the coolest hotel-Lost Iguana,in house massage,in house chef Aaron. We tried local sodas and even watched American football at La Trilla in Atenas. We enjoyed a San Jose walking/food tour. Originally from the East Coast, I don't easily cry. Saying good bye to Eduardo, our driver for most of the trip was emotional with promises (already kept) of keep in touch.
Costa Rica is gorgeous. I hope to take away the Pura Vida mindset and focus on the beauty before me. This property and her owners will bless you with that!

This lovely home, and surrounding gardens and patios, created a spa-like vacation for us. When we are not out and about in the beautiful surrounding area around Ateneas, we enjoyed the swimming, exercising (with the yoga mats available in each bedroom), relaxing, and eating in the multiple beautiful spaces inside and out. We were mostly outside. There were wonderful places to be all together, and lots of nooks to be alone to nap, read, and relax. The home owners and the property manager all welcomed us warmly and shared great information about possibilities and resources. Thank you.
4.9
The home is exactly as represented. Atenas is a cute low key town close to alot of the different activities.
However if all you want to do is relax you 100% can do that too.
Wifi is strong i was able to get a little bit of work done. I cannot thank judd, liz, and Leticia enough for opening this space for me! I hope to be welcomed back in a few months

Very enjoyable
4.9
We loved everything about our stay. We love the area near Atenas and the gated community at Pica Flora.
The temperature was perfect at night. Of course being there during rainy season, it rained every day but we made it work by getting out early each morning.
Leticia, the property manager was very helpful and attentive. She was quick to respond with any questions we had during our stay.
She suggested the chef, Aaron and Lizz, the masseuse. Aaron cooked us an amazing meal with so much food!! He was awesome.
Lizz was so nice. She came to the house and gave my mother and sister-in-law a massage and even suggested oils to use after. They absolutely loved her!
Can't wait to come back.

The hosts and property manager were so helpful and kind throughout every step of the planning process and while on site. The home was stunning and beautifully located. Couldn't recommend more!

The house is spectacular in a true Bali lifestyle. Beautiful views with a wonderful nature sanctuary. Judd was excellent in helping us find hiking trails and other excursions we asked about. Leticia, their property manager was always on call and readily available. The in-home massage by Liz was fantastic. Five star luxury that felt like a home away from home.
4.9
We loved our stay at Pica Flora. The place was a beautiful as its' pictures and the perfect setting for our vacation and adventures in Costa Rica. Judd and Liz were very accessible and answered all of our questions and Leticia was a pleasure to talk to. She recommended El Jardin restaurant and it did not disappoint - we went twice! We picked this location in Atenas as it was central to every adventure we had planned and also perfect for the days we just wanted to relax and enjoy the natural surroundings this location had to offer. We made four day trips during our stay: We drove out to La Fortuna/Atenas one day for a visit to the waterfall, the free hot springs past Tabacon resort, and a my adult children enjoyed a stop at El Sato - a local watering hole with a rope swing; we drove another day to Poas volcano and then stopped at Doka Estate Coffee Plantation for lunch and a tour; another adventure took us south to Carara National Park where a local guide spent 3 hours showing us all of the wonderous creatures and fauna of Costa Rica followed by an afternoon at Punta Leona Beach (you can get day passes to the resort that include lunch and the use of facilities); and, we made a trip to Monte Verde for ziplining and a visit to the Cloud Forest. Pica Flora was central to all of our planned day trips making our day excursions very do-able. We planned early starts (out by 6am) that had us back in Atenas in time for dinners and enjoying time at Judd & Liz's piece of paradise!

This home is a little slice of heaven on earth!!! The homeowners, Judd and Liz, are so involved and went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience! They have an amazing group of people helping them..Leticia, Eduardo, Lizz, Aaron, Alvaro and Walter…thank you all so much!!! We will be back again in the near future!! Until then..Pura Vida my friends!!!♥️

Liz and Judd were the best hosts that I’ve ever interacted with thru VRBO. So helpful! Leticia the property manager, was there to greet us upon arrival and show us around the property, as well as tell us about her favorite restaurants in Antenas with a map. We have a wonderful chef, Aaron, who prepared a delicious meal for us. Liz and Carolena were our massage therapists and the kindest souls!!
I can not say enough about how magical this property is! We can NOT wait to go back!!
We left a piece of our hearts there!!

You know the saying, "pictures don't do it justice"? This is exactly how we felt about this home (and it instantly felt like home) at Villa Picaflora. The house was uniquely designed and very comfortable in its Bali style indoor/outdoor living with stunning views of the hillside and sounds of nature all around us. We wanted a location that wasnt uber touristy, but close to all we wanted to experience. This home in Atenas was excellent. Many restaurants, stores close by. Within a short drive from the airport and day trips to volcanoes, cloud forests, waterfalls, wild life, hot springs and the beach, we fell in love with Costa Rica.
Communication and really helpful suggestions from the owner, Judd was really helpful. Leticia, the property manager who lived in town was so welcoming and readily available for quick questions. We had chef Aaron prepare a delicious dinner (gave several options) for us followed by a fire dancer artist performance on our first night. What a wonderful start to an amazing overall vacation. Even in the rainy season, we had plentiful sun early in the day (and the days begin early in Costa Rica!)with warm rain late in the day (which didn't stop us from doing anything). Plenty of outdoor covered places to sit and enjoy. A wonderful home and experience. Thank you!
4.9
The property was everything we hoped for and more. It was more than enough room for the four of us and each area was so nice to experience. We couldn’t say enough good things while staying here. The house itself, the views, and the wildlife and plants were simply stunning. Leticia was very helpful with recommendations and we even had a private chef and a massage therapist come one day. We are so pleased with our experience and hope to one day come back in the future. Thanks everyone!
4.9
Perfect villa with all the amenities and a view. Atenas is close to all the major destinations and the town offers all that you would need.
This was home for a week and we throughly enjoyed our stay.
4.9
This property was very comfortable, the views were amazing better than the photos we enjoyed our stay. Aaron our guide that was recommended and also cooked for us was excellent went above and beyond to help us out, we are going to miss him.
4.9
This was the perfect place to destress and get away. As we entered the country, Atenas was quickly described as National Geographic’s acclaimed best weather in the world and they were right. This house is an open Bali style without air conditioning. Don’t let that scare you. The breeze and view of the mountainside are beautiful. You are one with nature with some added luxuries. There is a fully equipped kitchen (even with spices) and each room transitions the outside in with beautiful landscape. You sleep with the peaceful sounds of nature around you. The bedrooms were clean and comfortable. I would definitely recommend and will likely come again.
4.9
So much to say about this wonderful home. So beautifully appointed and such a great location. We had spent the week before in La Fortuna and really appreciated the contrast with this week in the central valley - warmer but still with wonderful breezes. We made friends with all of the iguanas around the house (they really don't bother you at all) and even had a few white-faced monkeys come to check us out. The extra bonus of having a property manager that greets you in person, stays in touch throughout your visit and comes to say goodbye was very helpful. We didn't have a car so relied on drivers recommended by Letizia and by each other and couldn't have been more impressed with all of them. The house is truly stunning and the layout of the home and outdoor area with the pool was so perfect for lounging, working, socializing and reading. The only little bit of feedback would be to have working fans, in addition to the overhead fans, in each room to help with the warm nights. The casita in particular gets quite warm. Thank you to Judd and Liz for sharing your beautiful home.
4.9
The property is as it shows, and even better. The owner and property manager were a pleasure to deal with, and greatly helpful. The location is beautiful with the views and sounds so nice. The private pool just adds more to experience. This is the place to come and relax and you'll not want to leave.
Overall I couldnt recommend a better place to stay other than here, truely a fantastic experience.
4.9
Our stay was incredible. Beautiful property in the hills of Atenas. The hosts were super helpful with travel and recommended things to see and do. Highly recommend!!
4.9
The house is very different in style to anything that we had stayed in before, but we immediately felt at ease and comfortable. It was exceedingly well equipped and there was an incredible number of options on where to sit and relax, or eat. We loved sitting out on the deck in the mornings, overlooking the forested valley, watching the huge variety of birds, including Hummingbirds, Toucans and Mot-mots, to name a mere few. Animals included Cappucins, Coaties, Iguanas and Squirrels. There was always something of interest to watch.
Atenas was a lovely, authentic small Tico town that we quickly got used to finding our way around (with help from Letitia!) and the location of the house was perfect for visiting many places of interest and national parks. We visited Poas volcano (Awesome) , La Paz Waterfall Gardens (beautiful), Braulio Carrillo Skytram (fantastic experience) and Carara National Park (Wild and wonderful), as well as lots of nearby towns and villages such as Sarchi, Grecia and San Ramon. The climate at the house was perfect with a light to brisk breeze most of the time, keeping things fresh and not too humid (unlike the coast). Night times were very pleasant and comfortable.
Staying at the house for two weeks gave us ample opportunity to spend time out exploring, but also enjoy plenty of 'days off' just relaxing at the house. We did have some strange problems with our phone SatNav (even on Waze), but Judd, Letitia and Aaron were all very helpful in trying to find a solution.
The farmer's market on Thursday in Atenas was a real treat, filled with amazing fresh produce at very reasonable prices, including the world's largest avocados! We also bought some beautifully crafted wooden products there.
Thank you to Judd and Liz for allowing us to share your amazing home. We will have so many wonderful memories to cherish for the rest of our lives!

Four of us stayed at Liz and Judd’s home for 10 days and all enjoyed it. The house is spacious and can accommodate 3 couples. The views are beautiful and we loved the pool even though we found the water a little cool .Nature watching and stargazing are incredible!
The property manager was friendly and responsive and helped organize massages by the pool - fantastic!
Judd and Liz have a great Website with a lot of useful information - all communication with them was excellent.
If I may make a suggestion, an ice bucket and a salad spinner would be nice additions to the kitchen equipment.
Thank you and Pura Vida
4.9
This property is amazing. It’s close enough to town to enjoy the great little restaurants, but far enough out to enjoy the mountains and wildlife. The owners and Leticia the property manager were so helpful. They recommended day trips, restaurants, and a masseuse and chef for our stay. Everything was perfect. We hope to return again some day!!
4.9
We had a fabulous stay. What makes this house special is that it has a wide range of seating areas so that we could gather when we wished, and do our own thing in our own space when we wanted to, as well. I found yoga mats at the house, and I did yoga overlooking the mountains every day as the sun set. We ran into a few small issues that we needed help with, and Judd as well as Leticia (the property manager) were right on top of things. The house has 3 beautiful rooms - we felt that the newest room (with an outdoor shower and it's own small seating area overlooking the mountains) was the best among the 3, but the others were great as well. Thanks Judd and Liz! We hope to come visit again in the future!
