Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was relaxing. Spectacular view. Incredible amenities. Just an amazing experience

The property was absolutely beautiful! The play house was perfect for our two toddlers and we enjoyed the yard! Unfortunately we did have a few issues. On our first morning we did find a snake in the home which was very worrisome with having small children. Ronny did come over to look at it and let us know it wasn’t poisonous. There was also a rat or mouse inside the home which was never caught or removed. We had a lot of food items ruined by the rodent and all of the dishes would have poop on them in the morning. We would have to wash everything multiple times before feeling comfortable to eat off of it. We understand that it is a remote house in the jungle but for us we did expect a poop free environment for the price we paid. We enjoyed our time but because of the lack of host responsiveness and that the rat and rat poop was never handled I would unfortunately not be able to recommend this place.

Everything was great except that the hot water in the shower didn’t work. For the price we payed, we expect to be able to have a nice shower

Hi, thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience, and I’m really glad the rest of your stay was so enjoyable. I’m truly sorry about the hot water. We had actually serviced the tank the day before your arrival, and when you let us know, we sent Ronnie to check it; he confirmed it was working again, so we had no idea the problem was still there. My sincere apologies for not following up the way you deserved. We’d love to have you back and offer you a complimentary night on your next visit. Warm regards.

We stayed here with our two toddlers (ages 1 and 3) for four nights and had the best time. It is hard to put into words how beautiful this property is. Our kids made use of the play house, feeding the animals, and just exploring the many small gems of the property. The adults enjoyed drinking the coffee from the farm, cooking on the outdoor grill, and birdwatching. We saw toucans, butterflies and hummingbirds. Ronny takes excellent care of the farm and is available at a moments notice. We also hired Eduardo the chef for a pizza night and highly recommend doing this-he gave us many excellent local recommendations. The house is absolutely stunning and extremely comfortable. It was a very steep drive to arrive at the property but we had no issue with our SUV. Because of the rainy season we did have some cloudier days but we also had excellent clear views and the most stunning sunset on our last night. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a personal mountain retreat!

The Heavenly Highlands was such an incredible experience! Bruno was an amazing host who was responsive and proactive in providing all information we could ever need. This home was such a treat and would highly recommend for anyone looking to see the beautiful views and experience a quiet and peaceful time in Costa Rica!

This accommodation is incredible. It has everything you need to relax and enjoy the wonders of God's creation. The landscapes are spectacular, and the house is designed so you can enjoy it. The house, the gardens, the farm, everything is designed with an incredible level of beauty! If you come with children, they will love it. There is a tree house where they can have lots of fun…my nieces described it as a magical place. Eduardo's pizzas were amazing. Don't hesitate to hire him! Tip: Insects are attracted to the light at night, so I recommend keeping the lights low at night to prevent them from coming.

Este hospedaje es increíble, cuenta con todo lo necesario para relajarte y disfrutar de las maravillas de la creación de Dios, los paisajes son espectaculares y la casa está diseñada para que puedas disfrutar de ello. La casa, los jardines, la granja, todo está diseñado con un nivel increíble de belleza! Si vienes con niños, les va a encantar, cuenta con una casa de árbol donde pueden divertirse por montones…mis sobrinas lo describieron como un lugar mágico. Las pizzas de Eduardo estuvieron increíbles, no duden en contratarlo! Consejo: por la noche aparecen insectos atraídos por la luz, así que recomiendo tener las luces bajas por las noches y así evitar que lleguen.

Bruno’s home is a slice of heaven. My husband and 18 month old came to enjoy time here and it was the exact retreat we needed. The views are unbeatable, the gardens are so beautiful and the animals are a huge bonus. My son spent hours playing in the treehouse. We have traveled many places but Bruno’s house is definitely a place we will be returning. We booked Edwardo for pizza and sushi night. He prepared wonderful food and his company was a gift. Danny and Sophia came to take photos of our family. Such a treat to be with them and capture memories of our trip.

Our stay at Bruno's place was simply amazing. The property is beautiful, and the surroundings are a real marvel. We really enjoyed our mornings having breakfast outdoors, relaxing on the swing, and going for walks. Our daughter had a great time, especially in the treehouse. One of the best experiences was getting up at dawn to feed the animals. We also loved the pony and donkey rides, feeding the chickens, and collecting eggs. The house is perfect: it has all the amenities, is very well designed and cared for down to the last detail, and is also impeccably clean. The fruit trees and the orchard give it a special charm. In short, it's a wonderful experience, highly recommended for families with children; our daughters are 2 years old and 9 months old. If you are considering staying in the area, don't hesitate: this place is a 10.

Nuestra estancia en casa de Bruno ha sido simplemente increíble. La finca es preciosa y los alrededores, una auténtica maravilla. Disfrutábamos muchísimo de las mañanas desayunando al aire libre, relajándonos en el columpio y dando paseos. Nuestra hija se lo pasó genial, sobre todo en la casita del árbol. Una de las mejores experiencias fue levantarnos al amanecer para dar de comer a los animales. También nos encantaron los paseos con el pony y el burrito, alimentar a las gallinas y recoger huevos. La casa es perfecta: tiene todas las comodidades, está muy bien diseñada y cuidada al detalle, además de impecablemente limpia. Los árboles frutales y el huerto le dan un encanto especial. En resumen, es una experiencia maravillosa, totalmente recomendable para familias con niños, nuestras hijas tienen 2 años y 9 meses. Si estás pensando en alojarte por la zona, no lo dudes: este lugar es un 10.

Great place! Loved the house and gardens.

Hard to put into words how incredible and special this home can be. Our family adored our time here. The scale of the property is grand and the views are amazing. It was such a treat to be here and see our children discover all the wonder of this farm stay including meeting the animals and different areas of the property. The clubhouse and bunk beds was a huge hit. The chef is a must to add on. The drive to the home is very doable but take your time. Don’t hesitate to book this amazing piece of paradise.

As expected the location of this Airbnb is off the beaten track, but that is rewarded with beautiful views. As mentioned, the drive up is steep and narrow at points but we didn't find it difficult to navigate. You probably won't want to trek up and down the hill, so the recommendation to grab groceries on your way there is well advised. Overall, we found the stay to be relaxing and family friendly. Our only complaint was that the property was not as private as we expected. We knew the Ronny, the grounds keeper, would be on the premises but it felt like there were many other people on the property during the duration of our visit. One night was a little noisy but other that than it didn't turn out to be a problem. We highly recommend booking Edwardo for private dinners. We booked the pizza experience for the first night and wish we had booked him for every night. He is wonderful and the food was delicious.

Incredible! Highly recommended for a serene family escape. We enjoyed our peaceful time at this beautiful property. We will be booking here again on our next trip to Costa Rica for sure!

It doesn’t get better than heavenly highlands. This is our second time staying at this beautiful property and we will be dreaming of when we can come back. The magic in the air at this location is hard to put into words. Just book it and you won’t be sorry.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home! The location is fantastic and super convenient for families, with easy access to great spots for kids to play and explore. The house itself is stunning, thoughtfully decorated, and perfectly set up for families. The dinner and breakfast experience are really nice! Just a small note: addressing a few small housekeeping issues would make it even more perfect for future guests

We had a wonderful stay at this very unique and stylish place. The property felt extremely private and offered beautiful views, which made the experience even more special. One of the highlights was having a chef come in for a pizza experience—it was fantastic. The pizza was absolutely delicious, and the kids loved it, which made the evening especially memorable for our family. Overall, it was a great stay, and we would definitely love to come back. One thing to note for future guests is that there can be strong winds at night, but it didn’t take away from our overall experience.

A luxury house surrounded by nature. We instantly connected with the place. From the first moment you feel comfort and exclusivity without losing the magic of the natural environment. Every detail is designed to make the experience perfect: the campfires, fireplace, rooms and common area invite you to relax and enjoy. The views are simply spectacular; from the mountain we could see the coast and experience unforgettable sunsets. The service was warm and friendly, making us feel right at home. No need to go out to enjoy: there are animals to share, a viewpoint inside the property and ideal spaces to sit with a glass of wine to contemplate the landscape. We also make pizzas in the wood-fired oven. It's a very family-friendly place, perfect for disconnecting, sharing and creating unforgettable memories.

Una casa de lujo en plena naturaleza. Conectamos instantáneamente con el lugar. Desde el primer momento sientes comodidad y exclusividad sin perder la magia del entorno natural. Cada detalle está pensado para que la experiencia sea perfecta: las fogatas, la chimenea, las habitaciones y el área común invitan a relajarse y disfrutar. Las vistas son simplemente espectaculares; desde la montaña pudimos ver la costa y vivir atardeceres inolvidables. La atención fue cálida y cercana, haciéndonos sentir como en casa. No hace falta salir para disfrutar: hay animales para compartir, un mirador dentro de la propiedad y espacios ideales para sentarte con una copa de vino a contemplar el paisaje. Además, preparamos pizzas en el horno de leña. Es un lugar muy familiar, perfecto para desconectarse, compartir y crear recuerdos inolvidables.

This place is wonderful. It has a prime location, just a few minutes from downtown Santa Ana. The view is exceptional — you can see the entire city and even the ocean. My son was able to play with the animals, we walked along the trails, and the sunsets are absolutely incredible. The facilities are in perfect condition, and Bruno’s attention was very kind and welcoming from the very beginning. Without a doubt, this is a place we will return to soon to disconnect and relax for a while.

This place has beautiful views and is safe and peaceful and lovely. We were a bit unlucky with the weather and experienced some very windy nights, but Ronny kept us well stocked with firewood and the indoor fireplace kept us cozy!  Bruno is an excellent host and a responsive and friendly communicator. Refer to other reviews regarding the drive to the house, which is very manageable, despite being steep. In retrospect, I would have kept our visit here a little shorter as, unlike some other reviewers, we quickly ran out of things to do up on the mountain and found our day trips to be fairly exhausting between the commute up/down the mountain and battling traffic in the valley! Overall- a beautiful house, unique location and fabulous host..and make sure you ask Eduardo to come and cook pizza for you.. he’s a gem!!

By far the nicest air bnb we’ve ever stayed in! Home is beautifully designed, the property grounds are impeccable- So much love and thought has gone into the property and it really shows. We had the chef cook for us both nights we stayed at the house and would highly recommend to book him as the food was great and just so nice not to have to leave the property. It does get surprisingly chilly and windy up there so pack a sweater! Highly recommend this cool spot!

Bruno's house is one of the most beautiful places in the world, it exceeded our expectations. Ronnie made us feel at home and helped us with everything we needed and more! The animals, the view, the house, everything is a dream! I wish I could come back soon! I highly recommend this place, it's a paradise! Thank you for letting us enjoy your home!

La casa de Bruno es uno de los lugares más hermosos del mundo , excedió nuestras expectativas . Ronnie nos hizo sentir en casa y nos ayudó en todo lo que necesitamos y más! Los animales, la vista , la casa , todo es un sueño! Me gustaría poder volver rápido! Super recomiendo este lugar , es un paraíso! Gracias por dejarnos disfrutar de su casa!

Our family of 5 (3 kids) had the absolute best time. The property is amazing in every way.....just a picture book sort of setting. The house is super cool, great architecture, unique, and beautiful. The grounds are extraordinary. Ronny, the farm caretaker, puts so much heart and pride into his work on the property and it shows. Everything is just perfect.....animals, gardens, paths, etc. Bruno was fantastic is setting us up and making sure we had everything needed prior to arrival. Including their website and experiences, which we highly recommend you do at least one night with their host chef, Eduardo. Its a total no brainer. We did 2 nights, a pizza night and a sushi night. Sushi was great, but the real winner is pizza in their own wood oven stove. Such a memory maker. Really, the whole experience was a memory maker. All the animals were just so so fun. Our 7 year old got eggs each morning, Ronny even gave us fresh goat milk, and we spent the days on the property living it up!

The house was simply perfect. We loved our stay enjoying the place with the family. I highly recommend it!

La maison était tout simplement parfaite. Nous avons adoré notre séjour à profiter de l’endroit en famille. Je recommande fortement!

Just an amazing experience for me and my family. The pizza experience and the play date experience were so perfect. We had fresh eggs every morning. What a gift!

This place is definitely special. Right where I wanted to spend my birthday, with my family and surrounded by nature. Ronnie was always very attentive and Eduardo made us THE best pizzas!!! I would like to live here forever 🥰🥰🥰

Este lugar es especial sin ninguna duda. Justo donde quise pasar mi cumpleaños, con mi familia y rodeada de naturaleza. Ronnie siempre fue muy atento y Eduardo nos hizo LAS mejores pizzas!!! Quisiera vivir eternamente aquí 🥰🥰🥰

We had a wonderful stay on the farm! To say this property is a retreat is a huge understatement. Perched high on the mountain with stunning views and perfectly manicured grounds with sitting areas all around, this has to be one of the most relaxing vacations my family (3 kids/1 infant) has ever had. Everything with the house, the landscape and the farm is meticulously cared for and attended to. The coffee, fruits, vegetables, milk and eggs, all from the farm, are so good and such a great adventure for the kids to help harvest. Chef experiences with Eduardo were an absolute highlight for our trip. Eduardo does such a great job in explaining his processes and what to expect with traditional Costa Rican food. Ronny, the property manager, is so kind and will attend to any need you may have. Security is not even a question! The road up the mountain is steep, take it slow and be patient! I would have at least a small SUV. Thanks to all for helping make incredible memories! 5+ Stars!

Book it. Book the experiences in advance! All of them are worth it. I highly recommend booking Chef Eduardo for your first night or second day, because not only are his Pizzas and food excellent, but he also has great local recommendations. He also did us a solid and taught us how to make great French Press coffee. You are in good hands with Ronny, who is so responsive and helpful! We traveled with my special needs brother, an elderly parent, and a 2-year-old, and everyone enjoyed the space. There is so much to do on the property, and we took advantage. It's a 20-minute drive up the mountain, so stock up on groceries at Walmart. Use the electric tennis racquet to keep mosquitoes away if you want to leave the doors open. The dogs are so friendly. The place is even better than the pictures. We are so grateful for this trip and blessed to have experienced it as a family.

possibly the best place to stay in San Jose. timeless design, beautiful outdoor area, we loved the fire pit, lots of things to do for kids. the only thing I think animals need a little bit more love and freedom. you can feel the energy. but everything else was absolutely beautiful

We had an amazing stay at the house. Everything was perfect and our three kids had a wonderful time. Thank you so much for everything.

WE LOVED IT!!!! We hope to return soon. We congratulate you. We believe that of all the walks we have taken, it is the one we liked the most near San Jose. Also Eduardo the chef and his amazing companion! Delicious food and impeccable service and Roni and not to mention attentive to 1000 per 1000 thanks

NOS ENCANTÓ!!!! Esperamos volver pronto. Felicitarte creemos que de todos los paseos que hemos realizado es el que más no ha gustado cerca de San José. Además Eduardo el chef y su acompañante increíble! La comida deliciosa y la atención impecable y Roni y ni que hablar atento a 1000 por 1000 gracias

The house is breathtaking. Its homey, modern, very well taken care of, the surroundings were amazing and specially loved that it was completely kid’s friendly, which as a mom it’s always a lovely surprise. Thank you so much for let me and my family stay at your home.

The place is magical. Full of special details and with a spectacular natural environment. They have a mini farm with animals that are all well cared for. One day we had breakfast with Creole eggs, produced by their chickens, and coffee grown in their gardens. If you want a place to disconnect from the world, this is it!!! The host Bruno was very attentive and Mr. Rony who takes care of the super special property shows that he enjoys what he does and takes care of the details. We recommend the experience with Chef Eduardo, we tried the pizzas and they were the best we have ever eaten. Also, the experience of preparing them with him was very pleasant. The stay is 100% recommended.

El lugar es mágico. Lleno de detalles especiales y con un entorno natural espectacular. Tienen una mini granja con animales todos bien cuidados. Un día desayunamos con huevos criollos, producidos por sus gallinas y café cultivado en sus jardines. Si quiere un lugar para desconectarse del mundo este es !!! El anfitrión Bruno fue muy atento y el Sr. Rony que cuida la propiedad súper especial se nota que disfruta lo que hace y cuida los detalles. Recomendamos la experiencia con el Chef Eduardo, probamos las pizzas y de las mejores que hemos comido aparte muy agradable la experiencia de prepararlas con el. 100% recomendable la estadía.

Beautiful and peaceful place, sorrounded by nature. The house is incredible it has the best views. We went with our kids and had a relaxing and joyful week. Its the perfect place to disconnect from your everyday life and connect with nature and spend quality time with the ones you love. I absolutely recommend this place.

We loved our stay at Heavenly Highlands.  My kids were in love with all the details and animals- surprisingly they loved Kira the dog the most. She is so gentle and cute.  Ronny is the absolute best at helping us with any issues.  We had a really peaceful start to our CR vacation and my kids are asking to go back!

The place is spectacular and the cabin is beautiful, with attention to every detail. The view and the tranquility you feel are incredible. Both Bruno and Erica were very helpful and kind and helped me with a special request I had for my reservation. We would definitely come back.

El lugar es espectacular y la cabaña preciosa, cuidada en todos los detalles. La vista que tiene y la tranquilidad que se sienten son increíbles. Tanto Bruno como Érica fueron muy atentos y amables y me ayudaron con una solicitud especial que tenía para mi reservación. Definitivamente volveríamos.

An absolutely magical place with views for miles, well worth the steep, winding roads to get there. We stayed with our two teen girls. All of us loved luxuriating in the gorgeous house, wandering the farm, saying hello to the donkey, chickens and racing pigeons and enjoying the beauty of the gardens. Highly recommend booking a pizza experience with Eduardo - some of the best pizza we've ever had anywhere in the world, and he's a wonderful, warm, expert chef. Our youngest daughter had an earache while we were there - it resolved with pain medication, but I really appreciate the hosts' quick and supportive response when we asked about possible urgent care options. Overall, a dream stay.

We definitely enjoyed our stay at Heavenly Highlands! It truly is a magical place. We did the pizza and sushi experience and it was very good. We also did the play date project and it was great to have some activities planned for the kids. My boys learned how to make corn tortillas and loved them. My youngest son had the best time playing with the dog Kira and loved giving Kristoff pets throughout the day. It was one of the best Airbnbs we have stayed at! The house and property is perfection.

It’s hard to capture in words (or pictures) what a unique and special place this is. Our family of 5 (3 young kids) stayed at Heavenly Highlands for four days - our biggest regret is not having more time. Everything at this property is done with intention. Weather its the support provided by Bruno & Erica, the assistance on site from Ronny, or the stunning design both in the home and overall property. This place reminds me of a portion of the Lord’s Prayer, “on earth as it is in heaven”. Absolutely beautiful. We hope to return again.

It is a very unique and special place with amazing views. My family loved the animals and lots of outdoor room for the kids to play. The house was clean and looked exactly as in the photos. Highly recommend for a nice get away with the family. Property manager was extremely helpful and friendly. Anything you needed they were right there happy to help.

We stayed here with our 1-year-old and 3-year-old and had an absolutely amazing time. I was initially a little nervous about the road in, as some reviews made it sound rough, but Bruno reassured me beforehand and he was 100% right. I drove a van and had zero issues. All the steep parts are paved, so just pop it into 1st gear and you’ll be fine. The last few hundred meters are gravel, but it's on a gentle slope and very easy to drive. Bruno was warm, responsive, and incredibly helpful throughout our stay. Ronnie, the groundskeeper, was a joy to talk to he clearly loves the property and was excited to show us around. His enthusiasm really added something special to the experience. One highlight was having Chef Edwardo come in for a private dinner one night. It was such a memorable and personal touch eating a delicious, freshly prepared meal while enjoying the sunset at what truly felt like the top of the world. This place was perfect for a quiet family getaway.

Bruno and Erica farm house is a true gem, nestled on the top of the mountains with an amazing view! We did enjoy a lot our stay with our 5 years old daughter. Ronny welcomed us, a little earlier than the check in time. Much appreciated! Everything is perfect, great kitchen, decoration, great bedrooms with very comfortable mattress and linen. Our daughter enjoyed the Tree house, games board, and slides! The pizza oven outside was also a hit! We got the opportunity to have a pizza party with the chef Eduardo (Bruno recommendation). You can also find great restaurants at 18mn from the house in Santa Ana. We will definitely be back for another family trip!

The property was stunning and in a peaceful location, well away from the hustle and bustle—perfect for a relaxing stay. That said, the doors and windows need attention. Many didn’t lock properly or could even be opened from the outside due to poor installation or lack of maintenance. While the area is said to be safe, this could be a serious security concern for some. Still, the overall experience was positive, and I wouldn’t avoid staying here again purely because of that. During our stay, the house was very cold, and unfortunately, we couldn’t light the fireplace due to an issue with the chimney. On a brighter note, the local pizza guy came right to the house and it was a great experience—delicious food and super convenient! The farm has a caretaker available if you need anything, which is helpful, but he does walk around the property at times, which can affect your sense of privacy. Overall, it was a great stay, the notes are just for future guests who like finer details

Brought our whole family here. Perfect for constant quality time in a beautiful home, pristine nature and friendly farm animals. We will be back!

Incredible property, exactly as expected and yet with even more features that created a delightful experience. Perfect for a tranquil family getaway with young kids.

Truly indescribably beautiful—this is a deeply special place. From the breathtaking vistas and sunsets to the lush gardens and friendly animals, Heavenly Highlands exceeded all our expectations. As design and architecture lovers, we found the home a joy to admire. As nature lovers, we couldn’t get enough of the stunning surroundings. Our children giggled and explored for days, petting animals and picking berries—pure joy to watch. Having fresh pizza and sushi made by a private chef was the cherry on top! Ronny the farmer was a delight to chat with and learn from. The cool mountain breezes were a refreshing break from the coastal heat. I personally fell in love with Kristoff the donkey—he adored snuggles. We felt relaxed, inspired, and fully at peace here, so connected to nature. We truly can’t wait for the chance to return!

Our stay at Heavenly Highlands was absolutely perfect! Our only regret was that we didn’t stay longer! It was a perfect place in the most beautiful setting! We can’t wait to return!

It is a spectacular environment to spend time as a family, an incredible view, its unparalleled energy, every time we visit the place we fall more in love. We enjoy the bonfires, its beautiful animals, the orchard, its fruits and vegetables, I love its animals

Es un  hambiente  espectacular para pasar en familia una vista increíble su energía inigualable cada vez que visitamos el lugar quedamos mas enamorados   Disfrutamos de las  fogatas  de sus hermosos animales la Huerta sus frutas y vegetales me encantan sus animales

Great place. You can enjoy nature here. Bruno was very helpful the whole time. Chef Eduardo conjured up a great meal. We felt very comfortable. Since it is a bit remote, I recommend doing a little shopping before arriving in Santa Ana before driving up. We will be happy to come back.

Ein ganz toller Ort. Man kann hier super die Natur genießen. Bruno war die ganze Zeit sehr hilfsbereit. Chefkoch Eduardo hat ein tolles Essen gezaubert. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Da es etwas abgelegen ist, empfehle ich vor der Ankunft in Santa ana einen kleinen Einkauf zu erledigen bevor man hoch fährt. Wir kommen gerne wieder

This was, hands down, the best stay we've had.  Heavenly Highlands meets and exceeds all expectations.  My little kids were able to safely roam and explore the farm.  They loved the chickens and collecting eggs.  We hope to return.

Our stay was amazing! Highly recommend checking out their experiences especially Eduardo the chef , making pizzas and brunch was awesome!

The house is really beautiful and hard to describe with words.  In fact it is the entire property including the house that is truly extraordinary.  The view, location and all the elements related to the land make it an extraordinary place.  Ronny who lives on the property helps a lot and is very friendly.  We also had the chance to be served by Eduardo on the last night and it was a great experience, I would recommend it.

La maison est vraiment belle et difficile à de rire avec des mots.  En fait c’est le terrain en entier incluant la maison qui est vraiment extraordinaire.  La vue, l’emplacement et tout les éléments liés au terrain en fond un lieu extraordinaire.  Ronny qui vit sur la propriété aide beaucoup et est très sympathique.  Nous avons également eu la chance d’être servi par Eduardo le dernier soir et ce fut une superbe expérience, je vous le conseille.

This was a great place to spend a few nights after the long flight from UK. The house is beautifully designed and has wonderful views of green mountains in a peaceful location. We enjoyed meeting the animals with our children and making pizza with Eduardo. We visited Hacienda La Chimba for an accessible walk and good photo opportunities.

Amazing stay at a very unique and gorgeous property. The views were breathtaking and the kitchen was very well stocked. Bruno was a great host and we took advantage of the pizza night, private chef, and photography which were all a great value. Any minor issue we had was quickly remedied by the Ronny who looks after the property. Fresh eggs every morning also a really nice bonus and our young children loved being able to see the rest of the on site animals each day. Definitely follow the recommendation to stop at any supermarket or store prior to checking in as you probably do not want to make that drive more than you need to during your stay and definitely plan to rent a 4x4 as the last part of the drive you definitely will need it.

Beautiful stay. Perfect for nature lovers and those who want peace and tranquility. Had a wonderful time and really enjoyed the house!

Loved our stay here. Incredible spot, up in the clouds. Kids loved exploring the farm,  and collecting the eggs each morning. Shout out to Ronny who was very helpful during our stay.

Our stay at this Airbnb was absolutely perfect for a family getaway! The property offered breathtaking views, and every detail seemed thoughtfully planned - even making it especially welcoming for children. The host was incredibly kind and went above and beyond, providing fantastic recommendations for day trips that added so much to our experience. A true highlight was Eduardo, the chef, who prepared the most delicious meals for a range of appetites. He even included herbs grown right on the property. The fresh eggs from the resident chickens were such a treat. Ronny, the groundskeeper, truly made the experience even more magical. His care for the land and the animals and his dedication to ensuring the property's beauty and harmony shone through in every interaction. This Airbnb felt like a serene oasis where we could truly relax, connect with nature, and create cherished memories. We highly recommend and hope to return soon!

it is hard to describe how beautiful the farm and surrounding area are. So close to excellent restaurants and coffee shops but otherworldly and so private and remote feeling. The view is heavenly, and what Ronny has done with that farm is nothing short of a masterpiece. It is a great example of circular farming and is truly amazing. If you are wondering if you should book, book immediately!

By far, without question, the most incredible Airbnb I’ve ever experienced. If you’re a nature lover with a deep gratitude and respect for where our food and coffee comes from, this is a MUST see place. My family with be reflecting on this experience for many years to come. Just book it!

My family and I stayed at Bruno’s house for 4 days. We have children 12, 10, 7 and they loved it. The view was so amazing. Fresh eggs in the mornings was such a treat and we followed the recommendations from other guest and did the pizza experience. The kids absolutely loved the pizza experience and gave it a 10/10 rating. We also enjoyed it very much. The property manager Ronnie was helpful and assisted whenever we needed. Our only recommendation would be to bring a sweater and pants if you are going in December. The mountain top is cooler and windy which is something I didn’t consider when I packed. Otherwise it was a perfect 4 days for our family.

This property was like walking through a poem. From the mountain sunsets, to the never ending butterflies, to the endless blue hydrangeas, just stunning. We brought our little kids and it was completely comfortable with everything we needed from a pack-n-play to a high chair. The kids will never forget this experience. The only negative thing I have to say is I detested driving in San Jose. We got stuck in stand still traffic and even got rear ended on our way to the property. That is of course not Bruno’s fault and when we arrived it was all well worth the trouble. One more word about the drive: The mountain drive is so so steep you’d be nuts to not use a 4 wheel drive car. Go there during daylight unless you’re used to driving in mountains. My favorite moments included sipping morning coffee while the pigeons flew circles above, chef Eduardo cooking a spectacular meal for my husband’s birthday, and Ronnie lighting the fireplace for us at night. This place belongs in a dream.

Our Second stay totaling close to 30 days. Beautiful Peaceful spot. Great Place to Unwind.

Everything in the description and more! Great way to end our trip in Costa Rica (close to airport). Breathtaking views and everything is thought out and beautifully done from the house to the grounds. You will not be disappointed! And the chef experience made the stay even more memorable and fun!

Beautiful Quiet Time In The Mountains Above San Jose. Great Place to Relax and Recharge. Highly recommend.

This was one of my favorite Airbnb stays I've had. The property and views are absolutely stunning. No amount of pictures can do the scenery justice. Its absolutely incredible . The road up is steep but very maintained and safe. It definitely startled my mom the first time up considering we arrived at night. However the rest of the times up and down were fine and the scenery was amazing along the cliff side. I came with my 1 and 3 year old as well and they loved the tree house. We picked fresh eggs from the chicken coup for breakfast and visited the animals every morning. We did the pizza experience with Eduardo and it was absolutely delicious. He was very personable especially with my kids. He had a small apron for my 3 year old and let him be involved in the pizza making which he loved. Lastly, Ronny was very kind and attentitive to my family. Talking to Ronny about the palomas mensajeras was one of the coolest things ever. He's the current national champ in that. How cool is that

A very unique experience. The combination of nature, aesthetics, design and farming. The place has something futuristic about it. Our kids enjoyed the place a lot, especially the small rabbits that live on the premises. Eduardo and the pizza baking experience was also wonderful. Thanks for everything!

Such a beautiful place! great to connect with nature and disconnect from the noice of the city and the fast pace world we currently live in…. We cannot say enough about this place and the host, you would have to experience it yourself. Will be back!

Our stay at Heavenly Highlands was spectacular. We had a weekend of pure rest and disconnection from routine and daily runs. The place is beautiful and really makes you feel like a 5-star hotel just for your family and the location is great. A place full of peace, nature and good taste with TOP design and architecture Bruno was a great host, always attentive, friendly and accessible to any queries. Ronny welcomed us and made sure we settled in and was at ease at all times and also accompanied us on the trek through the estate and surroundings. And Eduardo, with his chef at home service, prepared us some pizzas in the oven, cooked together and we ate delicious. A magical experience on a celebratory weekend. Thank you Bruno and Erica for this magical place and many successes!

Nuestra estadía en Heavenly Highlands fue espectacular. Pasamos un fin de semana de puro descanso y desconexión de la rutina y las carreras diarias. El lugar es precioso y realmente te hace sentir como en un hotel 5 estrellas solo para tu familia y la ubicación es genial. Un lugar lleno de paz, naturaleza y buen gusto con un diseño y arquitectura TOP Bruno fue un anfitrión genial, siempre atento, amable y accesible a cualquier consulta. Ronny nos recibió y se aseguró de que nos instaláramos y estuviéramos a gusto en todo momento y además nos acompañó en la caminata por la finca y alrededores. Y Eduardo, con su servicio de chef en casa, nos preparó unas pizzas al horno, cocinamos juntos y comimos delicioso. Una experiencia mágica en un fin de semana de celebración. Gracias Bruno y Erica por este lugar magestuoso y muchos éxitos!

We had a fantastic time here. Family of 4 and it was spacious and very beautiful. The view is absolutely stunning. The beds are super comfortable and after 10 days of sleeping on bad mattresses this was a wonderful change.  We very much enjoyed the tour of the property Ronny gave us, and we loved picking up fresh eggs in the morning and interacting with the animals. This place is absolutely stunning and we would love to come back.

This was such a wonderful stay for my family and certainly a highlight of our vacation in Costa Rica.  The house is a testament to what design inspired by modern simplicity can deliver to its visitors in terms of wellness and enjoyment. However what makes this site truly awe inspiring is the stunning vistas and the wonderfully curated grounds. We loved the rainy, foggy afternoons, only to be blown away by clear views of the valley at sunrise. Ronny, the caretaker, lets the homing pigeons get their exercise just past dawn and two flocks start circling the house as you enjoy your morning coffee - this was truly an unexpected spectacle.  Visiting with two young  boys, they were instantly drawn to the “ tree house” and they truly enjoyed visiting the farm animals. The kitchen was well stocked and the appliances work well. The terrace was delightful, with a curious bunny to boot! This place exceeded my already high expectations!

Amazing location! Was the perfect last stop to our Costa Rica Summer trip with the kids. The surroundings is amazing, a killer view and super serene. The kids and us enjoyed all the amenities. Ronny was super helpful and gladly showed us around. Having Eduardo also in the house making pizza with the kids was for sure a memorable moment. All with all an amazing stay for a family with kids.

The name of this property is perfectly appropriate, it truly is Heavenly!! Stunning views every way you look, beautiful gardens, sweet animals, gorgeous house!!! It was super comfortable with everything we needed. Fresh eggs from the chickens were delicious. We did the pizza experience and it was so yummy and fun. I can’t say enough good things about Bruno’s place. Ronny is one hard worker that keeps this place in perfect shape! Being up high in the clouds was such a different and unique Costa Rican experience in contrast to the jungles and beaches. We would love to come back for much longer next time!! Don’t hesitate and book this place. You will not be disappointed!! Bruno is an exceptional host!!

Loved our stay at Heavenly Highlands! The place is really like no other. You are literally among the clouds. The place is super chill and great to simply enjoy the views and relax. It’s pretty easy to get in and out (if you’re driving an SUV) so definitely recommend getting all your groceries at the market during your stay to get the best bang for your buck.

Beautiful home and location with an outstanding view. Our kids loved the farm and running around outside. The pizza experience and photography were an amazing addition that we highly recommend. This place made our trip to Costa Rica great.

Amazing home and property!   Our favorite stay in Costa Rica. Beautiful home, beautiful property, just all around just wonderful.  We all didn't want to leave.  Ronny the land keeper was very responsive and there if you needed him.  One of our favorite airbnb's we have stayed in----probably our favorite.  Just book it.  It beat manual antonio area.

This was an absolutely incredible stay for our family. It was such a unique experience to be in this beautiful location. The farm and gardens are so special and beautiful (Ronny the caretaker is such a hardworking, kind, and helpful person). And the views are absolutely stunning. Our kids loved all of the things to do on the property including the playhouse , swings, animals, vegetable gardens, and coffee plantation. We felt like we had the whole mountain to ourselves with all of the modern conveniences we needed! We would absolutely recommend this stay. It was an experience we will never forget.

What an incredible stay! It exceeded our expectations. We will be returning!

My wife and I and our two young kids, eight and four, had a wonderful stay. The views are extraordinary, the animal and the gardens, the design of the home, the attention to the smallest detail, all excellent. We chose to stay on the property our entire visit (with the exception of my driving to get groceries). Bruno was very responsive to questions during our visit. The chef we hired through heavenly Highlands to come to the home, provided the best culinary experience we’ve ever had. I could not recommend Bruno’s place more. A wonderful experience for my wife and me as well as our kids. We’ll always remember it.

My husband and our 4 had a vacation at Bruno's place. It was  beautiful and relaxing. The views were picture- perfect. We enjoyed the simplicity of it. Wish we could have stayed longer!

A magic place! Great to relax, unwind, enjoy nature and spend quality time with my family. We loved Bruno‘s house and didn’t leave a single time during our stay, not even to dine somewhere else.  Everything we needed we had there. Great communication, proactive and flexible. Ronny the housekeeper is a gem and very helpful. The pizza experience a must-do! We love Costa Rica anyway and have added that spot to our „favorites list“. Thanks 🙏

It’s hard to put into words how perfect this place is!! Thank you to Bruno for this home to help our family rest and rejuvenate and to Ronny for being so helpful! I highly recommend having chef Eduardo come to the home and make pizzas. This was a highlight for us!!

We had an absolute incredible stay at Bruno’s house. The house is a dream with all amenities you can dream of. We will definitely come back to this outstanding and unique house.

Loved it! Honestly, everything—and I mean everything—about this stay was amazing. Starting with the communication with the owners, the way they present information, to the house itself, the views, the farm, and every little detail that has obviously been meticulously thought out. I could go on and on, but I'd be repeating many of the other reviews. Let's just say that I have been living in Costa Rica for 20 years now and have stayed at countless AirBnBs. This easily ranks amongst the very best. Also, make sure to hire Chef Eduardo for pizzas (or whatever you wish). Tons of fun and tremendous value. Can't wait to return one of these days! Thanks for the wonderful memories and hospitality!

One of the most breathtaking spots we’ve ever stayed at. Super beautiful and feels remote without actually being far from the city. The hosts were super responsive and took care of all our needs. We also used their website to order a massage and a chef, and both experiences were phenomenal. It was equipped and felt like a luxury stay. Just note that after the rain, lots of bugs come out, and it has beautiful sliding doors that can let a lot in when it gets dark if the lights are in inside. Also note that it’s 1 bathroom shared, and if you’re separate families, upstairs bed 🛌 is only ladder accessible, and downstairs bedroom has a window to the bathroom sink washing area , that even when closed you can still see through. We just covered it with a towel, and sent the younger folk to the upstairs bedroom 😆. Thanks Bruno and family for everything!

Bruno's place is amazing!!! The environment is peaceful!!!! Loved our stay and will be back in the near future!!!! Ronny the gardener is very friendly and very friendly, they even showed us around the farm which is also beautiful!! I highly recommend!!! Pura vida

Le Logement de Bruno est incroyable !!! L’ environnement est paisible !!!! Nous avons adoré notre séjour et nous reviendrons très prochainement !!!! Ronny le jardinier est très accueillant et très sympathiques, ils nous a même fait visiter toutes la ferme qui est elle aussi magnifique !! Je recommande vivement !!! Pura vida

only the most blooming words for this gem. from the bottom of our hearts - thank you bruno and erica for sharing this heavenly place with us. our busy minds and souls got to rest and recharge. we were beautifully taken care of by ronny, the groundkeeper. what a pleasure to have met him. he introduced us to the grounds, gardens and animals. such a magical place. the house is such candy for the eye- inside and out. i will never forget the look and feel of that bathroom floor tile!!!!! a very special stay for our family of 4 that we will remember and keep close to our hearts forever. special thanks to the chefs for the most delicious allergy friendly meal that put our minds at ease and for the most relaxing massage that i received - all in heaven like surroundings ;) we will be back “knocking on heavens door” ;)  so much appriciation, tina*, rob, fynn and max

PERFECT BIRTHDAY AT THE PERFECT HOUSE! I can't recommend this place enough. 1. The house itself is amazing. Beautiful interior, perfect decoration, comfortable, it has everything you may need. It's perfectly designed. Every single detail was thoroughly thought through. 2. The property is BEAUTIFUL. Stunning views, well-kept gardens, firepits, etc. And there's lots to do. Ronny makes it great and easy! 3. The beds are super comfy. Everything was neat, clean and organized. 4. We got massages and they were great. 5. Eduardo, the pizza chef, was excellent! Delicious woodfire pizza and nice service. If you're staying here, make sure to enjoy this experience! Don't think twice. Staying at this architectural gem is worth every penny. 10/10.

Sincerely enjoyed every minute at Bruno’s home. We live a busy life in a urban city and it was a nice change to get the family grandparents and all out for a farm stay were there are walkable trails, friendly farm animals and a masterfully crafted home. We had wonderfully crafted meals by Eduardo and were provided with excellent suggestions for our upcoming trip in La Fortuna. We felt at home with the support of Bruno’s excellent staff and couldn’t have asked for anything more on our stay. Bruno also offered excellent suggestions for places to visit. If possible, we’d like to visit all of Bruno’s active listings. I was exceptionally impressed with professionalism and responsiveness.

Excellent Location, few places so close to the city with such beautiful landscapes

Excelente Ubicación, pocos sitios tan cerca de la ciudad con tan bonitos paisajes

Unique and beautiful property. The pizza experience with Chef Eduardo is highly recommended.

It’s hard to describe how special this property is. The drive is a little intense at first but it is 100% worth the amazing view. Every detail of this house was well thought out. It was both beautiful and comfortable at the same time. It’s about 20 minutes into town where there are several grocery stores and restaurant options. I recommend stopping for basics like milk and bread before heading up the hill. Our 10 year old twins fell in love with Kristoff the donkey (really we all did) and spent hours exploring/swinging/playing hide and seek on the grounds. We enjoyed the fresh eggs every morning with herbs from the garden. We also did the pizza experience with Eduardo and it was very fun. Our only regret was not staying longer.

One of the best Airbnbs we have stayed in the last 9+ years. Strongly recommend this place for everyone! Specially with kids! Can’t wait to stay here again!

This house and the property were amazing! It was the first stop on our vacation to Costa Rica and it was the perfect place to unwind. The kids (8, 6 and 4 years old) loved the animals and the swings and being able to run around freely outside. The adults loved the beautiful view and the secluded retreat. Bruno and the groundskeeper, Ronnie, were so helpful. We had some cell phone issues upon arrival and they responded to my messages almost immediately and went above and beyond to attempt to help resolve the issue (which had nothing to do with them or the house). I can’t say enough about this house and the host. If you’re on the fence, just go with it. You won’t regret it.

Everything about this place is absolutely incredible. Breathtaking views.

Such a Beautiful Peaceful property,with lots for kids to do farm animals great play house.The caretaker Ronnie was very helpful and responsive.

If there was a higher score than 5 stars, I would give it to Heavenly Highlands! This was the best AirBnB my family has stayed in anywhere in the world. Truly, an incredible stay. From the seamless directions and check-in process, to the incredibly thought out guidebook, to the attention to detail in the way the space is designed, this is a nearly perfect house. The setting is also breathtaking. We arrived on a Thursday afternoon and didn't leave the property once until our checkout time on Sunday. Also worth noting, this is a fantastic place for kids. Our 2 year old son was in heaven at this house! Thanks for a fantastic stay, we look forward to returning sometime soon!
