About this house rental

Beautiful house set in the hills of Mata de Platano, San Jose.

Casa los Cielos (House of Heavens) is nestled in a peaceful, privately owned mountainous area with spectacular views of San Jose and surrounding mountains. The house features 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. One of the bedrooms and baths is part of of Studio Apartment with it's own terrace and entance (althoug it can be accessed through the house). The house has two balconies, Fire place, fully equiped kitchen, parking in front, fire pit in private yard. No need for air conditioning since tempartures are usually a pleasant 70 -80 degrees F. during day time all year round.

The Casa is a perfect place for families, retreats, or groups of friends interested in stepping away and being renewed by beautiful surroundings.

It is conveniently located 20 minutes from downtown San Jose and a 50 minute drive from the international airport Juan Santamaria. Even though you feel tucked away in the mountains, you're close to restaurants, grocery stores and other shopping. As well as outdoor activities, such as horseback riding (ask us about this- we can take you on a ride), volcanos, canopy tours, white water rafting, hikes, and coffee tours.

And, the closest beach is less than a two hour drive !

Great property. This is an old, rambling house set like a grand matron in a beautiful park-like setting. The house is 'venerable', and in need of updates and cleaning. But it's rustic and open to nature. It's huge with 5 different bedrooms and lots of beds. About an hour away from SJ Airport, and downtown SJ, and some sites. But 3 or more hours away from major attractions. So great for large family/friends get togethers, but not necessarily for CR's touristy hot spots.

My family and a Costa Rican friend spent eight days in this beautiful house, located on the top of a mountain overlooking the city of San Jose. It was absolutely breathtaking! Our host Ruth was incredibly attentive and very communicative. She met us at the front gate and make sure we got settled into the house. OK. During the week she checked in on WhatsApp to make sure that we had everything we needed and also made a special trip in to take care of some details that popped up. The house itself is absolutely gorgeous with huge bedrooms, picture windows, and balconies overlooking the city below, and a huge property to explore and enjoy! There is also a working fireplace in the middle of the living room, and a generous collection of firewood that you can help yourself to. We actually made a fire for three of the evenings we were there, and it was so beautiful and cozy! The neighborhood is incredibly safe, tucked away behind a private gate.

Within minutes of stepping into Casa Los Cielos, I could tell there was something special about this house. Yes (as other reviews have amply noted), the views are "stunning" - clear morning views all the way to the faint line of the ocean, an evening sunset over distant ridges, and the sparkling city below at night. The woodwork, size, and design provide more than enough space to sip coffee and pray, reflect, and experience gratitude; in fact the space kind of draws that out of you. At times, it can feel transcendent, helped by unplugging from life's noise, and being enfolded in the sights, smells and sounds of lush rainforest. Access to the community is behind a coded gate. We met a few neighbors and quickly became friends. The house is built on a ridge, and each other neighbor along the winding narrow old farm road has also built on a ridge. So you won't even see another neighbor unless you take a walk on the stone 2-track road down the hill over a creek and up to the next ridge. And I certainly recommend the walks! One of my favorite parts was the morning up-and down hikes within the converted-to-residence former mountain-side cattle ranch. A couple tips to set your expectations. We stayed here during the rainy season, and that is no joke. Rain every day and chilly down to the 60's overnight. The house is not insulated, so prepare for some cool nights, but the comfortable beds took care of that, and a fully-functioning delightful fireplace provided the ambience and a little relief from the cooler evenings. The house is hardwood throughout (which is part of its gorgeous appeal), and the sensitive nose would need to not mind the interplay of moisture and wood, or the damp tile of the balcony after a misty evening. I doubt that happens at all during the other 9 months of non-rainy season. Also, the charm of the remote location with stunning views also means that time for travel is significant. You will definitely want a rented car, preferably a mini-SUV (automatic) to navigate the very steep and narrow and pot-holed roads to get to and from Casa Los Cielos. Running out of space here, and still so much to tell: I close by saying the owners (who live 15 min away) are absolutely fantastic. SO responsive to questions, problems to solve, suggestions for anything you might need. Truly gracious and hospitable! A part of my heart has been left in these hills above San Jose: I must return to retrieve it!
