Start your day w/breakfast by the pool & end it on the veranda with a cool drink
As you can see, we are completely private yet only 5 min from a lovely town

All our guests just love the hammock, surrounded by passion fruit & valley below

About this property

Bali Dream View, Total Privacy, Pool, Wifi, 30 min to Beach/Waterfall/Ziplining

Sleeps 6. Restore yourself at La Luna Vista, your luxury Bali home offering complete privacy and a 360 degree view of a lush, eco protected valley from every room in this modern custom built home. It's a modern Shangri La, yet a 2 minute drive into one of Costa Rica's loveliest towns, with it's 5 markets, restaurants, English speaking emergency room, orchid trees and church overlooking the central square and, according to Natl Geographic, 'the best weather in the world'. Super wifi. Centrally located, La Luna Vista is a 'home base' for your entire Costa Rican vacation and easy drives to volcanoes, cloud forests, beaches, river rafting, fishing, surfing, coffee farms, ziplining, monkeys and bird watching. For an active or relaxing vacation
It's 'pura vida' as you sit by the pool overlooking the neighboring farm while the butterflies dance around you. Open the pocket doors entirely to the world outside while cooking in the in the completely modern gourmet kitchen or BBQ on the deck. House is on one level with modern convenience.
The Best of All Possible Worlds: Our brand new home La Luna Vista really has all the modern amenities but is surrounded by nature. The Costa Rican government has chosen to preserve our gorgeous valley because of it's great natural beauty. You see only trees and mountains from the terrace that surrounds the house no matter where you look. At night, nature provides a light show in the clear skies, and sometimes you can watch lightening dance over the mountains beyond the valley. There is complete privacy yet on the other hand there are neighbors close by. Our little town of Atenas has wonderful restaurants, many supermarkets with Chilean and Argentinean wines, even pizza delivery and modern American kitchen necessities. A farmers market where all the surrounding farmers bring delicious mangoes, veggies, colorful fruits a local specialties happens every Friday in the park.
Activities? Or not!: You can relax poolside, sip smoothies or a glass of wine and completely remove yourself from the stress of contemporary life. But if you want to check your emails and stream movies, we have great wifi.
If you are looking for a more active time away from home, butterfly farms, volcanoes rain forests, river rafting, horseback riding, are all an easy drive.

If you want to hang ten or simply stroll on the pristine Costa Rica Beaches or swim in the warm Pacific water of famous surfing beaches like Jaco and Playa Hermosa which are only 45 minutes away.

Pura Vida!: It's no accident that Costa Ricans' motto is 'Pura Vida.' They are lovely, well educated, warm, and welcoming people.

Unbelievably Gorgeous
Our first time in CR and this place blew us away! Beautiful everywhere you turn. Perfect for our family with older kids, as all the bedrooms are very private from each other. We loved the decor, the privacy, the views, everything. I especially enjoyed the house cat and dogs that visited us each day. We saw geckos and all types of birds. Just fantastic. Thank you!

A Zen getaway
We so enjoyed our 4 weeks in this beautiful home. So very peaceful, with total privacy, a lovely view and ever-changing cloudscapes. The layout of the home was perfect for us... an open living area, with lots of terrace, and three nicely separated bedrooms with their own private patios.

Amazing Property
We absolutely loved our stay at this house. There is no need for air conditioning being high up. No bugs at all! A lot of folks wrote comments about the steep road up to the house, which almost turned me off from booking it. The driveway is paved and while steep not an issue at all. Not sure why anyone would mention it. Fantastic place to rent. We will definitely be back. There are three rooms, each with their own queen beds and bathrooms.

Superb Overall Experience
The surreal views, active birds, location, property features, and helpful staff are why we came back for a second time. We enjoyed a combination of active days where we loved the central location to explore Costa Rica, close to home days to enjoy Atenas and live like a local, and home days where we enjoyed coffee, the pool, and having a chef come in to prepare meals. Highly recommend!

Amazing Get Away!
We loved our stay! The property is located in a safe community and we enjoyed our time in town as well. The view was unbeatable, the pictures don't really do it justice! Everyone was incredibly helpful right from the initial communication with the host to the local folks to help us navigate any questions we had. I truly can't say enough about what a great group of people we worked with. The house itself had everything you need. There are three bedrooms all separated from the common room (one downstairs through the out door stair case). This was great for privacy. We were two families traveling together, so we put the kids (all teens) in one room leaving the other two for parents. Kids loved the pool. Views from everywhere. We enjoyed the drives to the various sites - gave a great perspective of the country. I would happily visit again.

Amazing Rainforest Oasis
We could not have asked for a better stay in Atenas! This beautiful property is a secret hideaway and a wonderful way to experience the true beauty of Costa Rica. The property manager was so helpful and attentive and the owners seem to have thought of everything a visitor could want! Beds were comfortable, everything was clean, and plenty of space to spread out but enjoy time together. We’ve already started planning our next visit!

Perfect Home-base for Adventure and Relaxation
Stayed at this stunning home for one week with my two sisters. The location was conveniently located 1-2 hours away from all of the activities we planned for our trip, and the perfect oasis for relaxation between adventures. We absolutely loved our time in Costa Rica. The homeowner and property manager were amazing to work with too. Highly recommend this property.

Very Nice Place!
This place was not what we expected.....it was more! Picture don't do this place or the area justice. This place sit just about 5-6 mins outside of the nearest city Athena but a completely different area then what you see driving through the city. It's not a "touristy" city and not every one in town speaks English. Mostly had trouble in the smaller shops but most bigger places to eat shop you can get by. The only real surprise we had was due to the home being surrounded by nature the way it is you are up around 5 am everyday. There's no shades or curtains and your rooms have many windows so when the sun is up so are you. Again, due to the location you will have bugs around. I don't think it matters where you stay it's a thing. Overall we loved the privacy and location of this home and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by diana baron

Host profile image
I am a mom, business owner, and i grew up in a large family in Los Angeles. I love Latin culture, the kindess, the food, the love of family, and the appreciation of nature.

Why they chose this property

More than ten years ago, my son had a 'foreign country' experience during high school right in this tiny town of Costa Rica. While visiting him, his art teacher showed me this area, where at the time there were no houses, and basically a wild hill overlooking the valley. i felt at that moment i had found 'my place' on this earth, like the character in Carlos Castenada speaks about. So, i bought the land. It took me two years to find the right designer and builder to work with, whose aesthetic i appreciated and who understood mine. The designer was an American woman so she had experienced the many conveniences in homes that other builders here didn't - lots of closets, lots of drawers and storage in the kitchen etc. Her husband Fred was my builder and he used a crew headed by Lumberto to build the house. Fred & LInda have moved back tothe states, but i still work with Lumberto on upgrades and in face Jaime, who worked on my crew, is my caretaker. They know every square inch of this place and feel a part of it too.

What makes this property unique

I am writing this while sitting in the swing chair on the veranda over looking the valley. I can hear the Tucans croaking in the tree below and the sound of birds in the morning is beautiful. My neighbors cows are just now making their way to the river below. i've already taken a walk through mango fields and coffee fields. I brought some carrots with me todayy to feed some of the horses I see along the way. i make my way during the day from here, to the rocking chairs, to the hammock to the lounge chairs, etc. while checking the news in the States.
