This property and location are spectacular. It is truly a gem and our family made lifetime memories staying here. The host and property manager made booking a breeze and were easily reached when questions arose.

We arrived at La Luna Vista to a full moon, and perhaps that says it all. This is beautiful villa in an utterly idyllic setting. Peaceful, private and perfect, with stunning views, amidst all the comforts of home. To the many previous guests…we echo your comments. To Leticia (you are amazing!), Aaron (yummy meals), Valeria and Carlos, and to our sweet friends Muñeca, Chico and Kira...thank you for welcoming us! And of course to Diana, thank you, we can’t wait to return. La Luna Vista is pure magic.

You always worry whether a VRBO will live up to the photos - let me just say, we never got tired of waking up here and taking in the incredible views. If you are looking to get away from it all and enjoy rest and relaxation, this is the place. We loved sitting on the balcony reading and playing games in the living room. And the house is beautiful, too! Aaron cooked us a fabulous meal and we enjoyed a couples massage by Lizz and her assistant next to the pool, while listening to the rain. We had delicious trips into town for dinner, and made frequent stops for coffee and pastries at El Balcon (yum!!). We did several day trips from here to beach, volcano (Poas), and the blue water falls. Always allow extra time as the roads are windy and it can take a long time if you get stuck behind a truck. Four wheel drive was helpful, as the driveway is steep and it rained heavily even though it was the "dry season." One other tip - we love the "open air" feeling of the house, but it does mean that it can get buggy. This was our second trip to Costa Rica and we absolutely love it!!

Property manager Leticia and Carlos the property manager are FANTASTIC.

Great view and very private if you want to just chill by the pool

What can we say? This is our 5th stay at Diana's. We keep coming back every year. The ever changing cloud movement, birds, mountains never tire. Not to mention the warm dips in the pool are a bonus! We love this house, it will not disappoint!

Diana started us off, and owns this beautiful property. Letecia was great about communicating with us, and Carlos was so friendly and such a hard worker. It was peaceful and relaxing, and beautiful. We loved having Chico, the cat, Muneco, the dog and Kira, Carlos's dog, visit us! I would drink my coffee in the mornings while Chico had his milk and kitty treats! Muneco also liked the kitty treats and chicken. It was a great time!

This home is so worth the stay. The moment we walked in the door, we felt right at home. The home is precisely described and more, a write up can not do this home justice. Very well equipped, communication was excellent, Carlos was there when we needed a little help. Overall, hoping to return. Thank you Leticia, for making our visit memorable and seamless

5 star all around! The view, the house, the rooms, the hammock, the pool all were better than listed. Such a tranquil retreat with all the amenities we needed. The owner, house manager and maintenance were welcoming and kind. Highly recommend this property!

We've been staying in VRBOs for 20 years or so. This was one of the nicest places we've found to-date, my wife is certain the nicest. We had to tear ourselves away to do something other than enjoy the fabulous views, home and pool. Two complaints; the beds are very firm, not a problem for my wife, but I would have liked something a bit softer, and the grill is too filthy to use.

This was our second stay and it was just as wonderful. Aaron the private chef made wonderful dinners for us each night and Lizz the massage therapist was very relaxing. See our previous review for additional notes. We are already planning pur next trip. Don’t think twice. Visit this property and enjoy Pura Vida!

The property was amazing. Perfect in every way. The house host was incredibly helpful!

We stayed at this beautiful house for two and. a half months. The view from the veranda was absolutely incredible. During the rainy season the clouds rolled in and out magically. The property maintenance team provided excellent, attentive service. The gardener and the house cleaner were absolutely lovely. The kitchen is well stocked. There is no tv but the wifi works well. I would highly recommend staying here with a few caveats. There are steep steps to get down to the main house entrance so it is not handicap accessible. I would recommend renting a four wheel drive car if you stay here for more than a few days as the front gate is a quarter of a mile away up a steep drive. The nature of the house is that you are living outdoors. Do not expect a sealed, temperature controlled space (like a hotel) where little creatures stay outside. Two of the bedrooms are very comfortable for an extended stay. The third bedroom by the pool is fine for a short trip but the outdoor shower makes it a little uncomfortable for an extended stay. All of our guests who stayed in that room felt more comfortable taking shifts to share the bathroom and shower in the main bedroom. We will miss the incredible views, the veranda, the sliding doors, the toucans that visited us every morning and the lovely staff!

The view from this property is astounding. The pool and outside deck area are really incredible. The house was fully stocked and well appointed. Our host was kind, communicative, and helpful. We loved staying in Atenas. A couple of things to note, if you have children, they will be staying in different areas of the home--in fact, separate "houses" on the property. This wasn't 100% clear to me. Also, I was looking forward to using the tub and it didn't hold water. Speaking of which, this house did had HOT water; a luxury we didn't find many places throughout our 2 month stay in Costa Rica. Also, there's a house cat which is not allowed in the bedrooms but does visit frequently in the main area. Overall, this house is a gem. We'd love to visit again.

We have had the truly good fortune of staying in this beautiful home now four times and it only gets more beautiful. We come here to relax, rejuvenate and slow down. In the mornings, you wake up to the most beautiful view of the valley and the is never tiresome because it changes depending on the time of day, year and with weather - from stunning sunny days, sparkling lights in the distance at night, or clouds that roll in during green season afternoons. You can see toucans and other beautiful birds and wildlife every day. We hike and walk every day to town, through mango and coffee farms - the best walks end with a trip to the German Bakery (El Blacon), don't miss it. The climate is perfect in Atenas, in the 80s during the day and high 60's at night - no heat or AC needed. The pool is really fantastic, clean and a nice size. There is plenty of privacy and your own space if you are traveling with families or other couples. There is the most perfect cat, Chico, that greets you in the mornings, which we loved. I can go on and on about this wonderful piece of heaven. It is really perfection. We can't wait to come back - there is just something special about this location, home, town and area. Also, Leticia is an excellent, top notch property host and manager. She is lovely and will arrange for you what you need. If you need a ride from the airport, Leticia can arrange for Eduardo to pick you up - he is quick, friendly and dependable. Don't hesitate to book this home - we wish everyone who travels here the peace and serenity we feel, every time we have had the good fortune to stay at La Luna Vista.

Believe me when I say you won’t want to leave. Breathtaking views. Zen design. Plenty off space to spread out. A meditator’s perfect getaway. Convenient access to all the best parts of Costa Rica. Impeccable hosting. An incredible, memorable experience.

Awesome house! We spent a wonderful 7 days here and loved the location and the view and the pool. We’re planning on returning next summer. Definitely recommend.

A lovely spot to chillax with easy access to Atenas amenities. Diana's villa was a well-located base for our excursions. Property manager Leticia is attentive, knowledgeable and went out of her way to inform us about local Holy Week celebrations and closures, and to help us manage a medical concern while there. The house unfortunately has few window/door screens so you can't really keep the bugs out. We learned to manage and tolerate. The annual hatching out of the junebugs must have been early this year too, but we learned to leave outside lights on and inside off so as not to attract them inside. Altogether a memorable stay that I hope to one day repeat!

Lots of space, including outdoors to spread out. Close to town. Views are spectacular. Wi-Fi only worked in the main house, not the bedrooms.

We spent a delightful month in pura vida land in Diana’s beautiful home. We loved so many things about it: the indoor-outdoor living aspect 24/7 with wide open windows and terraces overlooking magnificent, peaceful, pastoral views. The birds, cows, and soaring vultures added to our enjoyment. The house is beautifully furnished, designed and appointed. The kitchen is more than adequate. We ate at the gorgeous outdoor table for most meals. We enjoyed the pool. The manager and the on-site caretaker were very helpful, and the housekeeper did a very good job. All that said, there are a few challenging aspects of the rental you should know about. There is an adorable cat "Chico" who lives in the ("his") house. The manager told us when we arrived and spotted Chico sleeping that if we are allergic to cats or didn’t want him that was ok. We were happy to have Chico around,. We think renters should know there is a cat whose home this is. To keep him out you would have to shut the entire wall-sized pocket doors on 2 walls. We kept them open at all times as the temps were perfect and no bugs. Secondly, we did not rent a car. Atenas is relatively convenient nearby by taxi ($4-6 each way). The house, however, is located in a gated community.Walking up to the gate to meet the taxi is probably a 20 minute extremely steep walk only for someone in excellent physical condition. The system to notify the manager that a taxi is coming for her to give remote access good but not fool-proof. Our preference was to get some exercise by walking to town (about 1.5 miles) and taxiing back with groceries. We accessed a road behind the house but only by rigging a rope tied to a tree to get access to that road. Having a car might have be preferable. The town isn't much but we found a couple of good restaurants and the Thursday mkt was wonderful. The dishwasher door only opens about 1/2 way so we washed our dishes. No big deal. None of these things we raise for your consideration diminished to any appreciable extent the quality of our peaceful, restful stay in this wonderful home.

When I tell you this place is amazing, I'm not exaggerating. Every detail has been handled to make this a super relaxing, super private, super clean getaway. Both Diana the owner and Leticia the property manager were very attentive and communicated everything very clearly. Leticia helped us coordinate a private chef for two nights, as well as a massage therapist, and helped us find our best Covid test option for our return flight (despite us flying on a holiday weekend). Each bedroom is totally separated away from each other and the main living area, which provides a wonderful balance of togetherness for a family, while still providing ample privacy for each person/couple in the bedrooms. In this instance, it was just the two of us and it was perfect. The house is located at the very end of a private road so although there are a few other houses behind the gate, you'd never really know it given the location. We went to the sloth rescue as well as zip lining, and both places were very easy to get to. Atenas is located just a short drive from the airport, but feels a world away. The town itself is also very clean and everyone we encountered were nice. The grocery store and restaurants served us well, but honestly, our favorite part was opening up all those pocket doors, pouring a glass of wine, and just taking in the surrounding nature. We are already planning our return trip. If you are considering a trip to CR, we highly recommend Diana's home to fully experience Pura Vida!

Everything that prior reviews described. Only downside was barking dogs throughout the night. If this is bothersome, bring a good set of earplugs.

We had a wonderful time listening to the birds and enjoying the view. The house is beautiful and Leticia was very helpful. I do recommend renting a 4x4 car, the walk to town is hilly!

I loved the variety of birds. We saw a couple of toucans, and the property lives up to its name, pica flora, as there were hummingbirds everywhere. We stayed in one of the rooms with a view and it was magnificent. We watched the sun come up every morning. The skies were clear the week we stayed and the night sky equals the view during the day.

Our stay was great

We enjoyed 1 week at the property and enjoyed the views every day. Pool was warm enough to take a refreshing dip when needed. So many seating and lounging options. Kitchen has all the needed cooking equipment for diners at home at sunset. We are early risers so we joined the local nature for 5:30 am coffee each day. Pura Vida

We are still talking about this beautful home...beyond words...the house, location, views-everything exceeded expecations. If you are lucky enough to see this home available on your travel dates to Costa Rica - grab it! Letitica (property manager) and Diane (owner) were most helpful. We will return to Costa Rica and hope to stay here again!
