It is an additional $200 to coordinate two vehicles or a larger vehicle to pick up a larger group with all of their luggage.

VEHICLE RENTAL FEES - the rental fee for the van is $150 per day and $100 per day to rent the Mitsubishi (insurance is included in that price).

Other things to note Bella Vista Private Resort is a 2-and-a-half acre property with houses. It runs like a small resort meaning that we have staff that live on-site and that take care of the property and the grounds. We also have a grounds keeper. This means that there will be Gardners and pool cleaners on the grounds most days. Also, if you have not rented out the whole property, please respect the privacy of others and don't approach the other homes on the property that may be occupied by other guests. The gym and the pickleball courts are common and usable by people in any of the homes. However, the pool by the main house can only be used by guests renting the main house. Bella Vista Private Resort is a luxury property, it is not a party house. We have strict restrictions against drug use or illegal activity on the property. The majority of the low reviews came from guests that engaged in drug use or other illegal activity and were upset when we let them know that that was not allowed at the property. So if that is your goal then this is not the property for you. The main house can sleep up to 14 people. If you would like to book the additional guesthouse, treehouse, or tiny house just let us know and we will help you coordinate the booking after your initial booking. ADDITIONALLY, we can accommodate events such as family or corporate retreats, weddings, baby showers, yoga groups, pickleball retreats, and other events on our 2 and a half acre property. There is an additional cost for set up and take down for hosting private events at the property. We have tables and chairs to host up to 80 people and we have connections to wedding planners, wedding officiators, and photographers. Services beyond event set up and take down can be paid for directly to the vendors and we can provide you with a list of vendors to help you coordinate your event. Let us know what type of event you would like to plan and the number of people you plan on attending and what you would like to include, and can help connect you with the vendors to make your even wonderful. ASK ABOUT OUR OTHER LARGE PROPERTIES IN COSTA RICA. We also have 2 other large properties in Costa Rica: the MAJESTIC LODGE located just outside of La Fortuna, and JOHNNY’S BEACH BUNGALOW located in Playa Avellanas. Often guests will visit one or more of our properties during their stay in order to have a more full experience of Costa Rica. We are happy to help you plan your trip to BellaVistaCostaRica and our other properties to help you have the best experience possible in Costa Rica where life is Pura Vida. A FEW LAST THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND **Drugs on the property - we have a zero tolerance for drug use on our property or in our vehicles. If we find that there is anyone using any drugs, including marijuana, you’ll be asked to leave and no refunds will be offered. This also includes drinking alcohol, while operating our vehicles.** **No unauthorized guests on the property. We do not allow for guests to bring "friends" on the property that are not part of the booking unless their presence is prescheduled such as for an event like a wedding at the property. ** **Please make sure to not leave any food out on the counters. Costa Rica is a jungle country and every critter looks for food. In order to eliminate most bug and ant problems, it is very important that all food is placed in containers or in the refrigerator. Make sure no food is left out. Within a few hour you may have a little trail of ants thinking that they just found the jackpot.** **Also, please note that our policy is that there are no refunds for any reason for days used or not used. So rather than asking for a refund, if there is something wrong with your accommodations, let us know right away and we will do our very best to fix any problems. Some problems that may be related to the weather may not be fixable during your stay. We will do our best to address them and help you stay be as enjoyable as possible.**

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our stay at Bella Vista Resort in Costa Rica was absolutely amazing! We chose this beautiful resort to celebrate my 21st wedding anniversary, and it couldn’t have been a more perfect experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff was warm, welcoming, and attentive, making us feel right at home. The property was beautiful, the atmosphere was peaceful, and the breathtaking views made every moment special. The accommodations were comfortable, the food was delicious, and every detail helped create unforgettable memories for our family. Thank you to everyone at Bella Vista Resort for helping make such an important milestone so memorable. We truly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend Bella Vista Resort to anyone looking for a relaxing and unforgettable getaway in Costa Rica.

The estate is beautiful with lush tropical landscape sitting atop a mountain! My family and I really enjoyed this home and the surrounding area. Everything is exactly what’s listed in the description of the estate. The location is the jungle! So do expect to go up and down a lot of mountains. Some of us actually got motion sickness but were okay after taking Dramamine. A shout out to Karen!!! We had a miscommunication daily with our contracted transportation and without hesitation Karen took care of everything and made sure that my family was comfortable and okay each and everyday. There was a language barrier which may have contributed to the miscommunication as well. I love that whenever I text you Karen you responded within minutes even when I wasn’t expecting such a quick response, I really appreciate it. Thank you.

Our family of 13 stayed at Bella Vista for 1 week during the rainy season and enjoyed every day!  It really only rained once or twice during our stay. The property was beautiful and relaxing.  The hosts were perfect with their communication of all our questions and very responsive. Patricia was wonderful and cooked the most delicious dinners and breakfast. Definitely worth having her fix dinners!  We rented the mainhouse and the treehouse and had plenty of room to spread out. The views from the property were outstanding.  The pool was the highlight for all...ages 2 to 71.  Yes, there were bugs mainly outside, it's Costa Rica!! Centrally located we visited Waterfall, Monteverde Cloud forest, ziplines, took the ferry over to Nicoya Peninsula, went to a local beach near the Crocodile Bridge, went to Coffee Farm and butterfly farm. I highly recommend Bella Vista Private Resort and we would definitely stay again! Pura Vida!

We held our wedding in Macacona; our family was able to stay with us thanks to the convenience of having other small houses available in the complex. The place is wonderful, as are the views and the nature. It was a magical weekend!

Celebramos nuestra boda en Macacona, nuestra familia pudo hospedarse con nosotros gracias a la facilidad de tener otras casitas disponibles en el complejo. El lugares maravilloso, las vistas, la naturaleza. Fue un fin de semana mágico!

Great place and amazing hosts! We all had a great time!

The host was very responsive and eager to help. They were able to find us tennis balls and a tennis court upon request. Pickle ball courts on the property were very nice. The views from the house were beautiful; the pool and home cooking were nice. We had to wash bed sheets from stains and hair, there was hair in the shower. The house has a huge bug problem. Caterpillars, ants, a scorpion, tarantula, roaches, spiders, lizards everywhere inside the house, made us very uncomfortable. We demanded to arrange for pest control - the owner helped with that, and bugs disappeared for 2 days only. Then we just had too many things wrong every day: no electricity or AC for one day, lack of hot water later, no WiFi in one of the houses, water dripping from AC- the owners tried really hard to fix everything, to be fair. The house is 2 hrs away from a nice beach, and pretty far from main attractions. Considering everything, the price was reasonable. It was a stressful vacation…

This was the best air bnb we have ever stayed at. The views were breath taking. some of the sights are quite a ways away, but there are a significant excursions that are close to the villa. The custodians are very helpful and caring.

“Thank you so much for your wonderful review Irene! We’re thrilled to hear this was your best Airbnb stay and that you enjoyed the breathtaking views. We’re also glad the nearby excursions and our helpful custodians made your visit even better. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime!”

From the first hour, electricity went out immediately. We were noticed the day before my trip about construction going on outside the house which left no privacy, people in and out the property, even when we’re at the pool we had workers working next to us. Patrica was super nice and helpful but spoke barely any English so if it wasn’t with text messages we couldn’t communicate and she was the care taker. Toilet in master bedroom flood and no one threw any napkins. Bathroom vanity sink water would stay up and was gross. We were told to “take all bed sheets off the bed” which I’ve never been told to do so and once we did we noticed many stains over the sheets AND bed. Shiloh was help when he would answer but would take so long to answer. We ended up booking another Airbnb because we were not satisfied and will be looking to be compensated. I would not recommend this Airbnb to any group of friends looking to leave or have a great time as the place was inconvenient and ruined our trip.

I can understandable why Moe gave us a low review. Moe’s original flight to Costa Rica got cancelled and he lost 2 of his 6 days in Costa Rica. Feeling sorry for his situation, we gave him a large discount on the vehicle rentals. In addition to that, Moe asked for a partial refund for the lost days. However, according to our cancellation policy, we do not give refunds for lost days. It is correct, the power went out due to a storm when Moe arrived. Our care taker flipped the breaker and it came back on within a short time. All other issues that Moe mentioned were taken care of right away. Moe was notified that we’re building a treehouse on the property and 4 pickleball courts. He mention that that would be fine since they would be exploring the country and going to the beach. During their stay, it was discovered that members of his group were using drugs on the property, and we found out that there was drinking in the vehicle. When the vehicles returned, they were both damaged.

The place was absolutely stunning. Patricia and the staff were amazing and made us feel right at home. If you’re not a fan of bugs, this might not be the place for you—but keep in mind, you’re in Costa Rica, and it’s part of the experience (nothing overwhelming, just worth noting). Overall, it was a wonderful stay, and I would highly recommend it! Can’t wait to go back. Pura Vida ❤️

Property was exactly as described and a perfect week spent there with our extended family! This was a trip of a lifetime and the property had everything we were looking for. Patricia was most gracious, helped with transportation, cooked a few meals for us and helped arrange a local Yoga Instructor to come on site for a most memorable activity! We did a lot of research prior to the trip and understood this was centrally located, which allowed us to drive North to Monte Verde one day and South to Jaco another day as well as other excursions and plenty of relaxing family pool days on the wonderful property with great views! We had all 3 houses on the property for our big group and had all of the bedrooms we needed. No this isn't new conctruction, it is a wonderful country estate and we would certainly come back and stay again!

Beautiful Place, beautiful Ms Patricia with responsiveness and good food :) Was preparing for a retreat and needed logistics help which was slow in response and the house could of been a little more cleaner but overall a beautiful spot to host at and we are grateful. Thank you

The place was great. The views, amenities, and location were exceptional. 10/10. We all loved Patricia and her hospitality, such a beautiful woman.

The views are breathtaking and home very comfortable. Highly recommend staying here as part of your Costa Rica trip. This was our first trip to Costa Rica and we learned some key lessons: the roads are 2 lanes and traffic can be challenging so drive times are much longer than they appear by distance. May be beneficial to split time between locations such as La Fortuna area to avoid 5 hours per day of drive time. We learned it is best to communicate directly with the owner through the aBNB app rather than using google translate as there were several miscommunications with the caretaker about added services such as airport transportation and meals. Also be very specific about dietary requests, for example clarify that vegetarian indicates no beef, chicken, fish or pork. Overall beautiful location with many amenities.

Our family of eleven, aged 7 to 70, loved the property and its amenities. Very functional houses (we rented both) and absolutely stunning panoramic views. The main house is spacious and has everything you could want. We did a lot of sightseeing and its central location allowed us to explore the beaches and cloud forest. The infinity pool was a big hit and the porch offered a great place to watch the native wildlife and enjoy the scenery at the end of the day. We found so many beautiful birds and fresh fruit within the property. Stores for provisions were relatively close as was the town center for accessing the bank to get currency. Patricia and Felix were onsite and we found them to be very helpful and attentive. Kristin and Shiloh, our hosts, were great at communicating when necessary. We appreciated that they were proactive with information. We would recommend this rental without hesitation and, if future plans include a trip to Costa Rica, we would not hesitate to book again.

Great stay! Beautiful house- inside and out! We had the entire lot with the main house, guest house, and honeymoon suite. It was very private! Easy to find, very clean, Patricia was so kind and proactive to making sure our stay was comfortable

A Spectacular Stay at Bella Vista – 10/10 Our stay at Bella Vista was absolutely unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the beautifully maintained grounds. The lush landscaping, sparkling pool, cozy hammocks, and outdoor rocking chairs made it easy to relax and feel instantly at home. Every detail was pristine and thoughtfully arranged. Inside, the main house and guesthouse were spacious, airy, and spotless. The air conditioning worked perfectly—an absolute must in the tropical heat. One small note: it would be helpful to have a gentle reminder near the toilets asking guests to dispose of paper in the trash bins, to help keep everything running smoothly. On our final evening, Patricia and two of her sisters prepared a delicious homemade dinner for all eleven of us. It was a wonderful and generous gesture that really capped off our trip in the most memorable way. Their hospitality made a lasting impression on all of us.

Everything was excellent and we loved the place we would❤️ definitely come back. Everything is super clean and impeccable. The hosts' attention was very good and quick. Very good place to spend a few days with family and friends.

Todo estuvo excelente y nos encantó el lugar❤️ definitivamente volveríamos. Todo súper limpio e impecable. La atención de los anfitriones fue muy buena y rápida. Muy buen lugar para pasar unos días en familia y amigos.

This place was amazing and a great fit for our large group of 26 and 16 being kids, amazing pool and pool house. Perfectly in the middle of poas valcano, arenal, and manual Antonio. Patricia was great and prepared us multiple delicious meals!

One of the best host I,ve ever had!  My first trip to Costa Rica was excellent mainly due to my stay here.  We received the best meal in Costa Rica right from here.  Highly recommended, for larger group travel thank you so much 10 stars!

We searched very hard to find a central location that would accommodate our group of 10 adults and 9 children. We did not want to relocate several times to visit beaches and attractions from Jaco, Beach and Town to the South, Cloud Forest an Arenal to the north, and San Jose to the east. There are beautiful wild Toucans and Iguanas that live right on the estate. Bella Vista Retreat worked perfectly for our family.

Our stay at Bella Vista was nothing short of magical. From morning rainbows and afternoon toucans, to views of pristine mountains and distant oceans, Bella Vista is truly one of a kind. Property manager Patricia and host Shiloh were both extremely helpful in planning our vacation. The location was centrally located to all our planned excursions making travel convenient.  We requested additional meals made by Patricia which were amazing and flavorful local dishes. Accommodations were expansive and comfortable with numerous amenities.  May we all be so lucky so have a stay at Bella Vista, Pura Vida!

This property is GORGEOUS. The pictures don’t even do it Justice. We booked the main house, the guest house, and the tiny house. The main house and guest house are very spacious and equipped with everything you could need. We enjoyed the pool every night, utilized the provided yoga mats in the mornings, and enjoyed the STUNNING views surrounding the property. The tiny house is definitely tiny, but it was perfect for me and my husband. It has the cutest walkway with flowers leading to it as well as rocking chairs and swings. The property is close to the road so sometimes it was a little loud close to the tiny house, but it didn’t matter or bother us at all. The caretaker, Patricia, went above and beyond all weekend to make sure everything went smoothly. She picked us up from the airport, made us dinners all weekend, helped us set up for the wedding, and even helped my friend who got sick. She made us feel very welcome. I would book this property again in a heartbeat. HIGHLY recommend!

Staying at Shiloh’s Airbnb was an unforgettable experience! This beautiful place became the perfect setting for our wedding weekend. The atmosphere, comfort, and thoughtful touches made everything so much more special for us. Shiloh was an exceptional host, ensuring that every detail was flawless. My wife and I are beyond happy and grateful for choosing this spot—it truly elevated our big day into something magical. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate such a significant moment in our lives. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a memorable stay!

Beautiful property with stunning views and a great pool and grill area that the kids really enjoyed. We saw toucans, frogs, and giant iguanas on the property. The caretaker Patricia and her husband were very friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. Patricia also cooked two delicious Costa Rican meals for us. We had some mold growth, roof leaks, and broken appliances and bathroom fixtures, which were fixed quickly. Patricia was very responsive both before the trip and during, giving us lots of useful information about things to do in the area, as well as bringing pool toys and providing us with beach equipment. We had a few miscommunications regarding event scheduling and pricing for meals and transport, which led to some surprises and almost resulted in significant overpayment had we not cleared it up, though I think the mixups were due to human error rather than malicious intent. Overall, this was a great destination for our 22 person family reunion.

A Memorable Stay in Costa Rica with Amazing Hospitality and Delicious Food I recently had the pleasure of staying in Costa Rica, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with warmth and kindness by the host, who made me feel at home right away. Their hospitality truly went above and beyond, offering thoughtful recommendations for local attractions and always making sure I had everything I needed to enjoy my stay. The highlight of my visit, however, was the incredible cooking! The meal was a delightful experience, with fresh, flavorful ingredients that showcased the best of Costa Rican cuisine. a savory local specialty, every bite was absolutely delicious. The host’s passion for food was evident, and it made the meal even more special. The grounds were beautiful would love to have seen it without the rain but we got what we did. Would come back to this house agan

Patricia and Felix were amazing they really take care of the place and her cooking is amazing! The house was very clean and welcoming. The pool was great and very clean the only thing I will Say is the rental per day is very expensive on top of the airport travel if you want to be picked up and dropped off by the Airbnb host.

Beautiful place to stay. Home away from home. Breathtaking views.

This was a very nice home. The housekeeper and her husband were amazing and made us feel apart of the family. I would recommend using a driver or using Waze; google maps and Apple Maps didn’t work. There were a lot of bugs, but perks of being in the jungle.

We had our family reunion at Bella Vista this year and it was a dream come true! The house is absolutely gorgeous with plenty of room for our family of 20. Situated in the mountains, the tropical birds and howler monkeys filled the air with song. Patricia and Felix, the caregivers, were so kind and delightful. We felt right at home! Thank you to everyone associated with this property for the most amazing vacation ever! We wish we could give it ten stars!!

We had a wonderful time at Bellla Vista with our extended family of 22! Plenty of room to spread out and have spaces for talking, gaming, cooking/eating, etc. We had ages 7 to 77 and it was wonderful for all. The van and car available to use (rent) was awesome. In a previous visit we rented a van on our own and it was not convenient. The airport and local pickup for our Tico family was great, they were very flexible and accommodating. We did multiple excursions including zipline, puntarenas, waterfall, and nature preserve - all about an hour away. The house is stocked and great for cooking family meals. The kids and teens brought their plates to the poolhouse to eat. We had a salsa teacher come one evening and had an awesome dance party. The one thing I'll mention is if you have kids who are prone to carsickness take note. The mountain road is very curvy, can be bumpy, and lots of braking. Bring preventative meds if that's the case. Patricia and her husband Felix were great!

We stayed here for an immersion trip with high school students and teachers and had an amazing time! Patricia was SO HELPFUL and assisted us with everything we needed. We also had a majority of our meals prepared by her and they were excellent. We very much enjoyed the pool and how much space there was for our group to spread out and enjoy. We will definitely be back and are looking forward to returning!

This place was perfect for my large family! It was exactly as described, spacious and private. We had an amazing time and can't wait to come back for another stay!

Betto was absolutely amazing, we had a fabulous time. Any problem that came up was resolved by the next day. Also, the food that they cooked was delicious!!

Beautiful views, wonderful pool, and a phenomenal caretaker, Betto, who is top class.

So first of all the communication was superb! Months ahead of time I had multiple questions and they responded nearly right away. We had 12 people on this trip and Mrs.Patricia and Betto picked us up up from the SJO and took us for food at a local spot with great food and great view! Betto was full of knowledge about nightlife and offered suggestions and pinned locations for us! The drive was not bad! Secured location, the at the pool breath taking view! They recommended a photographer for me to celebrate my big day. They recommended the adventure day. Mrs. Patricia cooked for us 2 nights the chicken was delicious big hit! We had a problem with the toilets, we alerted Felix who by afternoon called a company who fixed the issues. Also, if I had a complaint it would be the bugs at night! We had hundreds of them! Little Geico’s or Lizards in the house. As city girls that was a bit much! I have posted pics and have already gotten people wanting the info! I’ll book again!

I cannot express how beautiful this estate is. The place FEELS so peaceful, friendly and safe. I held a retreat for 15 people here and Patricia was so incredibly helpful,and responsive. It is immaculate and absolutely worth the price. Patricia cooked wonderful food and the cars were an easy addition— so convenient! It is a drive from most major attractions but there is a cute plaza and big grocery store 20 minutes away. The Choco Tour is phenomenal! It is 100% worth the 30 minute drive and cost. Be advised that the trucks sound somewhat loud on the road below the estate at some hours however, it does not detract from the peaceful atmosphere. The pool was sensational. Pro tip: close the windows and doors at night so the Costa Rican June bugs dont fly in! (But don’t worry, they don’t bite — they’re just clumsy! )

Beautiful place for weddings or family gatherings. Patricia and Felix are the best in making sure all your needs met. The views are amazing as was the delicious meal Patricia made for us. Thank you for everything!

Bella Vista Villa is an absolutely gorgeous property with room to boot for large families/groups, with breathtaking views of surrounding mountains and valleys. Patricia and Felix (the caretakers) embody the friendliness, care and welcoming spirit Ticos (Costa Ricans) are known for. The villa is well appointed, clean, within close distance of stores for all your needs. Our first meal was prepared by Patricia and was so delicious! Shiloh was super responsive prior and during our stay and the details provided were clear and matched all descriptions/expectations. Highly recommend for families and large groups wanting privacy and a relaxing holiday!

Our family of 22 rented all 3 homes on the property, and overall it was fantastic. Beautiful sunsets, clean, looked like pictures, secluded location, and the caretakers were amazing.

Patricia and Felix - the care takers made us feel right t home. Felix kept the pool ready for the kids and Patricia made us a wonderful breakfast and was very helpful with any needs we had. The washing machine wasn’t working in the main house, but Patricia took care of our laundry for us at one of the other guest houses. Our son stepped on some sort of insect that stung his foot and Patricia made sure to get him some cream to help with the pain. The next day, they sprayed the perimeter of the house to keep the ants away. The grocery store was only about 15 mins from the house and there was a great waterfall to swim at about 10 mins from the house. We very much enjoyed our stay. The beds were very clean and comfortable, great hot water pressure in the showers and immaculate condition. Great find - if you are looking for a place more away from the tourist type locations. This area seemed very much authentic Costa Rica.

Bella Vista Retreat met and exceeded our expectations. While the house itself was aesthetically pleasing, both inside and out, it was the exceptional service provided by the caretakers, Patricia and her husband, that truly set Bella Vista apart from other Airbnb options. Their kindness and willingness to assist made our stay even more enjoyable.

Thank you so much Danielle for your review. We do have the best caretakers of all of Costa Rica. And also, thank you for the feedback on those items for us to take a look at.

We absolutely loved Bella Views are spectacular, the property is gorgeous, the house was well stocked with everything needed. We travelled with 4 adults and 4 kids. The pool was awesome, the kids had a great time, plenty of space for everyone. There is a small store just meters from the driveway and larger stores and restaurants 10-15 minutes away - but it’s foolish not to take Patricia up on her cooking. We had her prepare us dinner every night and everyone loved it. Beautiful place!

The house is extremely luxurious and in a remarkably beautiful location. We shared the space with 11 people and had fun cooking meals together in a very serviceable kitchen. Patricia cooked one night which was fabulous and we sampled several local restaurants. It is one of the nicest pools I've been in - very clean, perfect water temperature and amazing views all around. There was great wildlife on the property itself. We were lucky to see a toucan. One standout is the caretaker Patricia. She is truly an angel, helping us with everything needed. Also a very nice opportunity to learn more about the region from someone who lives there. My family all hopes to return one day. It was a wonderful experience in everyway. We can recommend a few outings - Carara National park with lots of birds, Natuwa nature reserve where we saw all the animals. Some of us went to a local waterfall and swimming hole and some did an outing to the peninsula via the local ferry.

Our group LOVED Bella Vista!!! We felt like roalty! Patricia and Felix are amazing and go out of their way to make your stay over the top! My only suggestion is a more well equipped kitchen. Some storage bowls and a few biggwr pans. Also some floating rafts for the pool would be great!

we were a little far from actual cities such as San Jose so getting to excursions were an hour or two there and back. The place itself is great and is very private. can't tell if it was from the house or out and about but we all had big bites even after using bug repellent. two ACS were out the whole week which was bad due to the heat but Paty the house keeper tried to help with fans. Ants were a huge problem in the kitchen and dining area and geicos also seemed prevalent but overall we still had a good time. Strong 4 stars for sure.

I loved everything about it , Patricia was amazing .

It's a special place for large families. All together but not scrambled. The climate of the place is ideal to spend in the pool without feeling that you are drowning from the heat. Very close to San Jose. Overlooking mountains and sea. A private place, ideal for unplugging. Doña Paty and her family have excellent hosts. They got us everything we needed to have fun. From kitchen utensils to firewood to a little fire pit and make mhasmelos. My family enjoyed too much and it was definitely the best place we could find.

Es un lugar especial para familias grandes. Todos juntos pero no revueltos. El clima del lugar es ideal para pasar en la piscina sin sentir que te ahogas del calor. Muy cerca de San José. Con vistas a las montañas y al mar. Un lugar privado, ideal para desconectarse. Doña Paty y su familia son excelentes anfitriones. Nos consiguieron todo lo que necesitábamos para pasarla bien. Desde utensilios de cocina hasta leña para hacer una pequeña fogata y hacer mhasmelos. Mi familia disfruto demasiado y sin duda alguna fue el mejor lugar que pudimos encontrar.

We loved our stay! The house is large with a lot of space for kids to run around inside and outside. The pool was wonderful! We slept very comfortably and had everything we needed. The hosts and caretakers were super helpful and always responded within minutes. The view is incredible. We highly recommend waking up early to catch the sunrise!! We would absolutely stay again.

We were picked up at airport -all 15 of our family. Patricia stopped at store so we could stock up on groceries. Felix was out every morning cleaning grounds and pool. Patricia prepared our group authentic Costa Rican meals that were amazing. Felix grilled one night for us and was delicious!  Having them close and 2 cars was a bonus.  Patricia suggested a Soda(cafe) in Caldera after our day at beach. Great food and the most beautiful sunset ever. Felix provided boards for the little grands at the beach as the 5 older all took lessons and can now all surf!  We used the pool and gazebo everyday and night. They both were instant in any help we needed. Patricia heard  grands love soccer so she bought a ball.  Field was just at end of drive so we used as a family a lot. And a small market within walking distance. Was 1-2 hr drive for some excursions but the privacy and safety for kids to run and hike was worth it. Will return to Costa Rica!!!

The place is beautiful, and everything is very organized and clean, the caretakers of the house are very kind, thank you very much for the experience.

El lugar es precioso, además todo muy organizado y limpio, los cuidadores de la casa muy amables, muchas gracias por la experiencia.

This was a beautiful property. The caretakers Felix and Patricia were incredible. They went out of their way to make sure we were taken care of. You will definitely want to have Patricia cook some meals for you. The views are beautiful the beds are comfortable and the home is clean (expect bugs - you’re in Costa Rica.) We joked about being two hours from everywhere, but that’s pretty much what it was like. It was a great property to return to after a day of fun.

The Bella Vista Retreat was a dream location for our wedding. My husband and I could not have been happier. Our group of 20 fit comfortably in the three houses on the property. The views were absolutely stunning. The best part, though, was Patricia and Felix. Patricia is so kind and welcoming she happily helped with any questions we had, and she cooks the best meals. We highly recommend ordering meals from Patricia during your stay! We look forward to visiting Costa Rica again.

I booked for a family of 22, and there was more than enough comfortable space for everyone!  We left just yesterday, and I'm already missing it so much.  The house is so well laid out and has everything you'd need, even with all the rain we got, the space was BEAUTIFUL, and absolutely peaceful.  The caretakers were amazing and available for any request we had.  They were very gracious and took care of breakfast and dinner a few of the days (just the best)!   They set up a Salsa evening evening....we will be talking about this experience for a long time.  I would definitely visit again and recommend for a family vacation!

The photos do little justice to the actual place. It is spacious, clean, comfortable, private, modern and very secured with breathtaking views. The pools, particularly the kids pool, are well kept and considered one of the best amenities. From the hosts Patricia and Betto, to maintenance personnel, Felix and others were all welcoming, caring, supportive, available at a moments notice and made our family vacations a most enjoyable and fun-filled experience. A heartfelt gratitude to all is extended. Bella Vista accommodation is worth every penny. We will most definitely be back.

We had a fantastic time here! The space was pristine and the views were amazing. The pictures truly don’t do it justice. Everyone went above and beyond and Paty was always available if we had any questions or concerns. I slept like a dream on the bed in the primary bedroom! There are bugs, but it’s just part of the great experience. We also saw cows, iguanas, toads, and all kinds of different birds. I would definitely return again.

We loved the place!  We are very picky about the toilet of the place and this house totally met expectations! Excellent communication and excellent care from Patricia!!! Very grateful and looking forward to coming back! Oh and the place to rest is beautiful! We love nature and this house has it all! We had a great time!

Encantadisimos con el lugar!  Somos muy exigentes con el aseo del lugar y está casa cumplió con las expectativas totalmente ! La comunicación excelente y la atención de Patricia excelente!!! Muy agradecidos y con muchísimas ganas de volver! Ah y el lugar para el descanso es hermoso! Amamos la naturaleza y esta casa lo tiene todo! La pasamos muy bien!

best rental I have ever got clean house and beautiful views in the early mornings I recommend to everyone

The house, the service, Ms. Paty and her husband, EVERYTHING was perfect! Immaculate, even. The house was stunning. Pictures do it no justice. The house care takers were beyond helpful and such sweet people! House had more amenities than I expected! Fully stocked! Beds were soooo dreamy! I can go on and on raving about how peaceful and gorgeous the house was but you should just check it out for yourself! You won’t regret it because I know for sure no one in our party did! Hope to return soon!

Thank you so much Wendolyn for your kind words.  You were great guests and we hope to see you again in the future.

This house was beautiful and very private. Patricia was amazing, she helped us with anything we needed. Her cooking is well worth the money.  Definitely would recommend this place!

What an incredible experience. I host mens health retreats every 3-4 months and I’d say this is probably the best experience I’ve had to date. Incredible hospitality, beautiful scenery, and just overall perfect location. I can’t recommend this place enough!!!

This is an amazing property! Everything is kept immaculately and the views are gorgeous. We enjoyed the pool every single day and loved watching the different birds aroundthe house. Inside and outside were so neat and clean. We had a really nice time relaxing and checking out the area. Patricia and her husband were a lot of help and Beto was very cool and gave us some good information about things in the area. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

I didn’t have much communication with the owners, but the house managers were amazing. Paty and her husband did a fabulous job. We had our wedding ceremony on the property and Paty and her husband went out of the way to make sure everything was perfect. The cooked for us after the ceremony and the food was delicious. I could not have asked for a better place to get married in the mountains. There truly isn’t enough words to say about Paty to describe her. She took care of my cake, flowers and photographer for the wedding. When we needed something she went out of her way to help us. She is an Angel sent from heaven. The house and property are amazing!! It was also awesome to be able to rent their car and not have to deal with car rental. My experience was 5 star plus… ❤️❤️❤️❤️

If you have a large group this is the place to stay. The view from Bella Vista is breath taking no matter in which direction we looked. The property is located on a hill right of the highway. We did several different popular  tours that were 1-2.5 hours away from the property. We had 14 people in our group and rented the main house, the tiny house and the guest house.  That was perfect for us.  If we needed something the hosts responded to our requests right away. The kitchen could use a new toaster and a couple of nicer pans for cooking, otherwise we had all the things we needed. The bedrooms are very comfortable. The outside area is filled with seating and hammocks. We spent a lot of time by the grill area and the pool. The pool collects debris quickly, but Felix came by every morning to clean it. We felt very comfortable and had a great time.

We had an amazing time while visiting Costa Rica for my 50th Birthday. We opted to have the air BnB staff pick us up at the airport. Patricia & Felix showed up on time to pick us up and loaded our luggage for us.  When we needed anything while at the property Patricia and Felix both responded promptly. We were very happy with the property. The views are amazing. The stars at night are so close and the wildlife was incredible.  We also used the Air Bnb provided van for traveling while we visited. This was a great luxury and we did not have to deal with a rental car company while there. Excellent location for a large family!

The home and the property is beautiful! Lots of driving required but the scenery is beautiful so we didn’t mind the couple hour drives to get to places.  Felix and Patricia are so helpful and kind!  Tons of room for our group of 17!!

A group of friends and myself stayed at Kirstin's Bella Vista resort for a week. It was a beautiful compound and was very spacious. The caretakers, Felix and Patricia were so kind and helpful, they were there for everything we needed. We even ask Patricia to cook us a few meals which were all delicious! It was nice to be able to rent the cars on the compound so I didn't have to go through the hassle of renting are car either. The added bonus was the airport pickup and drop off. For where the house was located, it was great to have Patricia and Felix pick us up from the airport. I would highly recommend staying at this house and will stay again when I go back to visit Costa Rica.

I simply recommend without reservation that they can visit this place. Very spacious and super equipped, all very clean and tidy. I was actually delighted to be staying and enjoying everything it has to offer. A large pool, clean and tidy rooms... nothing more to say. 10/10

Sencillamente recomiendo sin reserva alguna que puedan visitar este lugar. Muy amplio y super equipado, todo muy limpio y ordenado. La verdad quedé encantado de estar hospedado y haber disfrutado de todo lo que tiene. Una piscina amplia, las habitaciones pulcras y ordenadas... No queda más qué decir. 10/10

A stunning home with stunning views! The caretakers are such wonderful and helpful people.

This place was a dream! Patricia and Felix were amazing and kind. Everything was beautiful and so well put together. Definitely a hidden gem

Excellent place, the cleanliness, the ocean view, the pool, everything is spectacular and the hosts are very attentive , a place to go back

Excelente lugar, la limpieza la vista al mar , la piscina todo es espectacular y los anfitriones muy atentos , un lugar para volver

The property was huge to accomodate 8 of us in our party. The description and photos are accurate.  Alberto, the driver and tour guide was very hospitable and accomodating. Since Patricia the caretaker was out of town, he had his wife cook for us an authentic Panamanian dinner.

Kirstin’s home was honestly the perfect place to be. The home was clean the staff was extremely helpful and nice. There was so much amenities that we didn’t even get to use or experience them all. If you are looking to relax on top of a mountain and experience true nature this is the spot to get. Thank you Kirsten!

If you are looking for an amazing central base to your adventures in Costa Rica in this region, look no further, book now, you've found it. I'm exceptionally OCD when it comes to planning travel and you can take my word on this, you will be hard-pressed to find something that can match this. Do you want awe-inspiring panoramic mountain views? Check. How about the highly convenient central location to Monteverde, Arenal, Puntarenas/Isla Tortuga, Jaco Beach, the Pacific playas, San Ramon, and all parts in between? Check. Gracious and accommodating caretakers with airport pickup/dropoff, authentic Costa Rican meals hot and ready when you get back from an excursion? Check. Check. Check. Car rentals of different sizes, without the hassle? No problem. What about a perfectly manicured and maintained gorgeous property with every creature comfort you need, an amazing pool, room for plenty and all of the comfort and privacy you desire? It's all here. Pura Vida indeed! What else to succinctly describe the easy, stress-free, and wonderful time we all had here and Kirstin and Shiloh absolutely stay true to this as amazing hosts. This was one of the best AirBnB experiences yet and sets the bar incredibly high. Our expectations were exceeded every single day we were here. Give our warm regards to Patricia and Felix when you get there! PS Do yourself a HUGE favor and go visit Alejandro at https://choco-tour.business.site/ for a life-changing experience not too far away from Bella Vista Estate.

Overall I would give it a 3.5/5. The house is nice so many different amenities unfortunately due to the constant rain before arriving we didn't get to explore the grounds and there were no fruit trees left. Caregivers EXTREMELY NICE AND HELPFUL ! But I have to give it 3.5 because there were just so many bugs everywhere literally killing spiders etc every other hour and the bedrooms sheets were filthy, master bathroom dirty, Grill unsanitary to use. I don't 100% fault the homeowner as there were guest who just checked out prior to our arrival and all the windows in the home were left open so maybe that had something to do with it.

We, 2 families of 6, had an amazing 5 nights at this beautiful house and location. We felt safe and really able to let go and relax. The grounds and house were very well maintenened and beautiful. The care takers, Patricia & Felix, are very attentive and very nice. She comes a traditional Tica Breakfast for us that was bien rica! We were able to make some amazing day trips to Quepos, MonteVerde and also visit some local things right around there like the waterfall Encanto. Just georgious! Highly recommend staying here.

Bella Vista was the most amazing property perfectly located for easy day trips to the beach, La Fortuna waterfalls/hot springs and zip lining in Monte Verde. The home was beautiful, clean, and featured spectacular views. The owners were very prompt in communication and offered assistance at all stages of our stay. A bonus was having kind care takers on property, who even cooked a traditional Costa Rican meal for our family. Our stay was simply wonderful. ♡

We truly found a gem in Costa Rica. 360 degree paradise level views. Spacious house with an amazing caretaker you will want to take home with you. Too many amenities to list. Our family highly recommends staying at Bella Vista.

Great place for a family reunion. Nice and peaceful environment , very well set up.

Words can’t describe how excellent the service was. Shiloh went above and beyond to accommodate me and all the guest with our needs. Patricia and Félix are excellent they will take care of any of your needs. I will recommend this villa to anyone, you will not be disappointed the morning views are stunning. Thanks to all the people involved in making sure we all had a great time, will definitely go again. Pura vida!!!

Amazing stay, friendly caretakers, and awesome views!

Bella Vista was an incredible experience! Everything was amazing during our stay. The house is beautiful and the views can't be beat. We're going to miss the infinity pool so much! The house has everything you could need or want. Patricia and Felix, the caretakers, are incredible and kind people that are always there if you have questions or need anything. The owners were very communicative and helpful. We loved our time there!

This place literally has it all! So clean and well kept, spacious, GORGEOUS views from the upstairs balcony, the most comfortable bed I’ve slept on in a long time , and an incredible outdoor entertaining space! You could spend all day outback swimming in the pool, grilling food and enjoying the beautiful views and weather. The location was perfect with short drives to beautiful waterfalls or beaches. We just wish we could have stayed longer!

Great choice Close to San Jose Spectacular weather and a great place to stay We really enjoyed the tranquility of the place and the hospitality of Mrs. Patricia and Don Felix The house is very well equipped, very spacious and comfortable

Excelente opción Cerca de San José Un clima espectacular y un lugar magnífico para hospedarse Disfrutamos muchísimo de la tranquilidad del lugar y la hospitalidad de doña Patricia y don Félix La casa muy bien equipada, muy amplia y cómoda

This home is the perfect getaway tucked into the mountains. We had a few rainy days so it was great that this home had plenty to keep busy if you choose to stay in. You'll definitely get a great night's sleep- The beds were amazing. Patricia is the sweetest woman and very helpful. She accommodated us with delayed flights and travel changes. The car rental option was so convenient as the car is onsite. Kirstin and Shiloh are just a phone call away if anything additional is needed. We would love to visit again!

Overall incredible spot and perfect for a weekend getaway from San Jose. The views are fantastic, the weather was great (we went end of March) and Patricia, the property manager, was very accommodating and available for absolutely anything we needed. Highly recommend this spot and it is perfect for families and/or groups of friends.

Unbelievable is all I could say when we arrived The house is beautiful big airy. Would be a great location for a multi family vacation Several living spaces big spacious rooms large very well equipped kitchen Beautiful property with large pool The views are incredible from every angle of the property Caretakers on property were very friendly and helpful

Wow! What a great house and location that had everything we needed! Patricia and Felix were great onsite hosts and were waiting for us at the airport to take us to paradise. They even stopped at the store on the way for us to grab some food and snacks. The house was very clean, well stocked, and even had necessary kitchen supplies like tea, spices, fresh fruit, and filtered water. The surrounding property was amazing. We spent some time walking around the trails, swimming in the pool, watching the sunset by the pool cabana, and eating at the outside picnic table. Not too mention the views are spectacular and the weather was perfect. One of the nights Patricia cooked us an authentic dinner and the cost was much cheaper than going out. The retreat is also well located. There is vehicle onsite that we borrowed and found a waterfall with a local restaurant about 20 min away. We had lunch there and it was super cheap! The beach is about 45 min away but we opted to visit La Fortuna and Arenal volcano, which was about a 2 hours drive through the beautiful mountains. Overall we would definitely recommend this to anyone that is looking to visit Costa Rica!

We loved our stay at Kristin and Shiloh's beautiful property! With 5 bedrooms and multiple bathrooms, it was the perfect place to spend a weekend with our extended family. The views in every direction were stunning and the property was very well-kept. The house was beautiful and clean and had lots of space for us to spend time together, but also retreat into spacious (air-conditioned) bedrooms. We enjoyed the pool, watching the birds, exploring the grounds, sharing meals together (grilling) outside, watching movies/playing games at night etc. The groundkeepers, Patricia and her husband, were super kind and helpful. We would love to come back and stay again sometime!

The Place was AMAZING. The house is absolutely stunning! It has everything you need. All utensils were new The beds were soooo comfortable, it was like sleeping in a 5 star hotel. The view was extraordinary, the house is surrounded by mountains it was worth every penny. The house caregiver was so lovely and she cook traditional breakfast and it was sooo good. We really enjoy our stay and will definitely return.
