Spectacular Luxury Vacation Home - Breathtaking Views - Best Climate

La Perla de Atenas, The Pearl of Atenas, is an incredible homemade 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 is famous for having the best climate in the world, and it is centrally located near the main attractions. 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 is dazzled by its beauty. A uniquely designed inner courtyard and fountain welcome you into this exquisite home, which features a luxurious, comfortable living room, a media room, a fully equipped kitchen with a butler's pantry, and a formal dining room.

The beautiful artwork and decorations, plush bedroom furniture and bedding, expansive outdoor deck with sparkling clear pool, hot tub/jacuzzi, cold plunge pool, and inviting lounge furniture are 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 three bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom, double sinks, and a walk-in closet, comfortably accommodating up to six people. The master suite has a king-size bed with a luxurious Tempurpedic mattress, two walk-in closets, a jacuzzi bathtub, a separate luxurious shower, and a sauna steam room. Two separate guest suites are tastefully furnished with comfortable king-sized beds and dressers. WiFi, cable, and local telephone are enabled for convenience.

On the property, there are many mature trees that tropical birds such as toucans, Montezuma Oropendolas, and motmots always visit. Wake up 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. This makes an excellent 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 consider when you have nighttime travel plans, mainly, 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 custom-made tours to our guests' requests throughout Costa Rica.

Our property managers, Klaas and Sandra de Graaf, are multilingual (English, Dutch, Spanish) from the Netherlands. They are ready to welcome you to La Perla de Atenas and will do everything they can to make your stay a great success.
They can arrange for your fridge to be stocked with your favorite groceries upon arrival, or have a home-cooked meal ready for you on your arrival day.

Weekly cleaning is included for guests who stay longer than 10 days. Our excellent 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. It is the perfect place to be, waiting for you to spend your well-deserved vacation.

The standard rate is based on two guests, allowing us to offer a competitive price for couples. Extra guests are very welcome for an additional $15 per person, per night.

The house was amazing and Atenas is a fabulous place to visit. It was central to many of the things we wanted to do and the house was great for the days we didn’t want to go anywhere. I can’t say enough good about Klaas and Sandra. They helped with excursions, and places to eat and were a wonderful resource for our stay. Highly recommend this property and any other that Sandra and Klaas manage.

This is a beautiful home with so many extras. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool and large space. Chef Moma prepared a lovely meal after a long day of zip lining. Sandra and Klaas prearranged several activities per our request.There was a little confusion over checkout but we were able to work everything out smoothly. I highly recommend this home.

Loved the place. Very spacious and well equipped for the needs or our family with 2 little kids. The grounds were expansive with orange and lemon trees. My initial concern was that there won't be much to do around Atenas. However, was proven wrong. Sandra took great care of us and suggested as well arranged fun daily activities for us. Tortilla tour experience was the best followed by the Alex's chocolate tour. Would highly recommend this villa if you are in the area.

La Perla is a beautiful property, inside and out. And Sandra is the bonus you didn’t even know you needed. She was one of my very favorite things about the entire vacation. Her recommendations and assistance were invaluable. Chef Gullimere was top notch and both suggested excursions were outstanding. I recommend this property without a single reservation!

Beautiful Atenas Home

The house is beautiful and the landscaping around the house is stunning. A little disappointed that we didn't get to pick any fresh fruit. There is plenty of room to hang outside by the pool, enjoy your coffee in the morning while the birds are chirping or chill with a glass of wine in the jacuzzi. I would love to go back again. I highly recommend this place.

This was one of the best (or even the very best) home we have ever rented. It had everything and the views and outdoor lounge space were breathtakingly beautiful. Sandra and Klass organized all our transfers and tours and made the trip completely stress free. We researched many homes in Atenas and we are so happy we picked this one. Stay here. You won’t regret it.

Beautiful home, views and weather

We had a great visit. Unfortunately a couple of the kids wound up sick shortly after arrival so we did not explore as much as expected. I will say there was a detailed review by someone that almost made me cancel our reservation that mentioned the heat and lack of AC. The highs were up into the low 90s while we were there, but the house only warms up for a couple of hours before sunset. It was so cool in the morning that having a robe, or long sleeves was a must. We also drove to Arenal and Manuel Antonio National park and stayed overnight at each place. We obviously spent more on stays this way, but we found that it was nice to have a home base 2.5 hrs from each place. The family slept better at the house and preferred it over los Lagos and Shana by the beach, even though those were beautiful places as well. This is a great spot to unwind with a lot of great amenities at home. There is a beautiful mango tree on the property. Definitely explore outside and wake up for the sunrise every day. Keep your screens shut and the home one to keep it cool. My son accidentally had an iguana follow him into the front room when he was carrying things in. We didn’t see him again once we were able to help him find his way out. If this is your first visit to Costa Rica, definitely go visit the surrounding areas to experience seeing the monkeys, birds and sloths in their natural habitats. The driving there isn’t bad at all and the winding roads were beautiful mini road trips.

Christmas Week in Atenas

From check in to check out, our stay was amazing. The house was, as advertised a 10 out of 10. With clean bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen, with amazing and well kept outdoor space we were very comfortable. Klaas and Sandra were able to set up a rainforest tour with Vic and a Zipline tour, both on short notice. We would highly recommend both.

Grounds were beautiful and pools were refreshing especially the cold plunge. The grill area is separated from the other outdoor areas but we still enjoyed it. The night time view of the valley cannot be beat. Sitting in the pool at night watching the lightning in the distance was very relaxing. We would definitely stay again however we plan on seeing other parts of the wonderful country.
