Casita Vista del Valle at Eden Athens - Apartments for Rent in Atenas, Alajuela, Costa Rica

It was really a very nice stay, the place is beautiful. And Mrs. Enid's service was amazing. We will be back!

Realmente fue una estadía muy linda, el lugar es hermoso. Y la atención de doña Enid increíble. Volveremos!

Spent two nights at this lovely air bnb. We ordered breakfast for our second morning there and it was lovely! The space is as described - it’s not fancy, but it was comfortable and clean. My kids loved the pool!

Thank you for your lovely review! We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay and that your kids had fun in the pool. It’s great to hear that the breakfast was a hit too! We aim to provide a comfortable and clean space for our guests, and we're happy it worked well for you. We'd love to welcome you back anytime!

Great host, helping us out with super helpful recommendations. The accomodation was clean, big and perfectly located. Absolute recommendation 👍

Thank you for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay and found our recommendations helpful. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime. Safe travels! 👍😊

The hotel was a beautiful place to relax. The surroundings were very peaceful and remote. The apartment has everything you need for a private stay and a local taxi can take you to the nearby super market for supplies. The hotel caregiver was very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend this place for a relaxing stay.

This place is amazing and was perfect for us

Excellent attention, the manager of the place treated us beautifully, always attentive to our comfort. If they like cats, I recommend hanging in ojitos, or as we say “Ramón the panzón” is the feeling. Very comfortable rooms, clean pool, clean place in general, close to supermarkets, gas stations and liquor stores. One of the best places to go relaxing at any time, totally recommended.

Excelente atención, al gerente del lugar nos trató de maravilla, siempre atenta a nuestra comodidad. Si les gustan los gatos, les recomiendo que abracen a ojitos, o como nosotros le decimos “Ramón el gato panzón”, es la sensación. Las habitaciones muy cómodas, piscina limpia, lugar limpio en general, cerca de supermercados, gasolineras y licoreras. De los mejores lugares para ir a relajarse en cualquier momento, totalmente recomendado.

perfect location to stay out of the city near the airport, as we made our way toward the Pacific coast (Manuel Antonio). not far at all, GORGEOUS drive. far exceeded our expectations, the listing looks beautiful and it was way better in person. great way to start our visit to Costa Rica. we went to a restaurant 8 mins away called the garden restaurant atenas and it has an amazing view and personal chef experience for a great price. I would recommend to get breakfast while there, served on the patio. so dreamy. and make time for the pool!!

We love this cosy little hotel and have come back quite some times already. It's really kind of a paradise with the beautiful gardens, the refreshing pool and the welcoming host and staff. And the breakfast is always delicious. I highly recommend!

The garden of Eden ,in the truest sense,with an incredible variety of carefully maintained plants! Pure nature,a variety of birds and other animals can be experienced if you can stay in peace!The apartment is spacious,clean,and on the large terrace you are jungle-like in the middle of nature. Ernesto,Enid and Selvio lovable and warm,are always trying to fulfill wishes!Thank you!

Der Garten Eden ,im wahrsten Sinne,mit einer unglaublichen Vielfalt an sorgsam gepflegten Planzen!Natur pur,eine Vielzahl von Vögeln und anderen Tieren sind zu erleben,wenn man in Ruhe innehält !Das Apartment ist geräumig,sauber,und auf der grossen Terrasse ist man dschungelartig inmitten der Natur.Ernesto,Enid und Selvio liebenswert und herzlich,sind stets bemüht Wünsche zu erfüllen !Danke!

We had a wonderful, relaxing stay. There is a lot of space, the garden is beautiful. We loved it. Jan and Avtar are very helpful.

Wir hatten einen wunderbaren, erholsamen Aufenthalt. Es gibt sehr viel Platz, der Garten ist wunderschön. Uns hat es super gefallen. Jan und Avtar sind sehr hilfsbereit.

Everything was really eden at Eden Atenas. The cabin was private, comfortable and exactly what we were looking for as a couple. My birdwatching husband was perfectly content with just hanging on the deck and i had to actually drag him away so we wouldn't be late to Jan's special breakfast. Speaking of- Jan and Avtar were fun and funky people with amazing conversation. They were the perfect mix of knowing when you want privacy to jumping into an in depth discussion about literature. They also recommended us a great driver who helped us negotiate payment at the market with a non functional ATM and a hand full of various us dollars and colones. This cabin is a cabin. Sounds redundant, but its not an apartment, its a cabin. If you're not into being close to nature, this probably isn't for you. Bugs can and will sneak in. Just keep it clean and you won't have any problems with sugar ants and the rest can be shooed out. Overall, highly recommend if you're looking for something off the beaten path but is still close enough to town (10 min) and centrally located to drive to various attractions.

When we arrived at the San Jose Airport in Costa Rica it was hectic just getting ourselves together and getting transportation to our place. Once we arrived to Calle Mimi poltton Azul it was paradise. Jan and Avatar welcomed us and so did Lilly and Max.   They took us to our apartment and showed us around and let us know what was expected and the in and outs of the grounds. Both of the host were extremely welcoming and made you feel at home away from from.  What we enjoyed most of all was that we were able to just relax and ask questions and find out what to see.  When we decide to go back to Costa Rica we will make sure to stay here again. This was better than a five star resort. 

We arrived as guests and left as friends. The apartment was a great space for us and we were quite comfortable. The walk to town was a bit longer than we had anticipated, but was certainly doable. Jan and Avtar helped us navigate the buses and taxis and were accommodating to our requests. 

We stayed for one week at Eden Gardens and found the accommodations satisfactory. We stayed in the 2 bed apartment which is just down some steps from the pool. Note that the roof of the apartment is actually the floor for a covered deck which serves as a common area off the pool and as Avtar's 'office' during the day. The downside of this arrangement is that it limits your privacy and you can hear every sound from the deck when it is in use.  We enjoyed the company of the friendly German Shepherds, Max and Lilly. Each evening, we'd invite Max in and he would lounge on the deck with us until bedtime.   We were out and about every day, so did not use the pool. I did not notice any chairs and umbrellas as pictured on the Air B&B site. I would also concur with one previous guest review that the apartment seemed a bit worn and in need of minor repairs. The 2nd ceiling fan in the web site pictures has been removed... it would actually have been nice to have had it for additional air flow.  That said, both Avtar and Jan were quick to offer help if we needed it.

Good to get feedback that we can use to improve. We are sorry that you did not mention that the noise on the deck was bothering you, while you were here. As you know, this is a big property and we could have utilized other space during your stay. Also, had you mentioned a desire for additional fans, we could have provided you with large floor standing ones. We do our very best, but can't help if we don't get real time feedback. We are glad that despite the few things you mentioned, that you enjoyed your stay.  PS: The pool furniture is all here, just like in the pictures. We had put them all to the side whilst we were re-painting the pool deck.

A wonderful place! very large and bright! The hosts are always available. Thank you!

Ein wunderbarer Ort! sehr gross und hell! Die Gastgeber stehen jederzeit zur Verfügung. vielen Dank!

We really enjoyed the family apartment which was large, well-equipped and very clean. The gardens are superb and the sunrises we could see from our private terrace were memorable. In a week in Eden, we were able to have easy access to several Costa Rica attractions: Poas volcano, Ave zoo, Tarcoles crocodiles, Atenas farmer's market, etc. Jan and Avtar are excellent hosts, both considerate and respectful of our privacy. Thank you.

Nous avons beaucoup aimé l'appartement familial qui était grand, bien équipé et très propre. Les jardins sont superbes et les levers de la soleil que nous avons pu voir de notre terrasse privée étaient mémorables. En une semaine à Eden, nous avons pu avoir facilement accès à plusieurs attraits du Costa Rica: volcan Poas, zoo Ave, les crocodiles de Tarcoles, le marché fermier d'Atenas, etc. Jan et Avtar sont d'excellents hôtes, à la fois prévenants et respectueux de notre intimité. Merci.

The pictures don't do the place justice.  The apartment was large and comfortable, with a big veranda that's ideal for morning coffee.  The grounds are lushly planted, full of flowers and fruit and hummingbirds.  Jan and Avtar -- the hosts -- are progressively minded and very welcoming.  The center of Atenas is maybe five minutes by car, and access to highways going in all directions is pretty easy.  It's a lovely place with lovely people, and we had a great 12 days there.

Eden Atenas was breathtaking. We had the most wonderful time relaxing in our beautiful, clean, private space overlooking stunning rainforest.  We were provided our own hammock and access to multiple others across the beautiful property - which we enjoyed exploring! Our hosts provided the perfect balance of friendly chatter and respect for our privacy. We woke up each morning with the sun and the critters of the forest and spent our days exploring and enjoying everything Costa Rica has to offer. Highly recommend! We would come back again!

It was a wonderful stay. Our hosts were very nice and caring. The house where we sleep were very comfortable. 

Nice clean room with beautiful gardens all around. Nice stay...but beware light sleepers roosters abound!

The Garden of Eden is a lovely B&B in a peaceful, beautiful setting run by two very kind and helpful owners. We stayed in their spacious 2 bedroom apartment with a well-stocked kitchen (although we didn't use it much because we only stayed one night). My kids loved the pool. As others have noted, Jan's breakfast was phenomenal - freshly squeezed mango and orange juice, fresh fruit artfully presented, homemade quiche, homemade soft pretzel with cheese and ham on top, and homemade coconut sticky buns. We were so full, Jan was nice enough to wrap up all our leftovers to take with us on the plane home. Avtar was a wealth of information and took us on a wonderful tour of their gardens, pointing out species of plants and fruits and telling interesting stories along the way. I'd highly recommend the Garden of Eden. The only thing I'd recommend to the hosts is to make sure guests know in advance about their two large German Shephards (maybe they are already mentioned in the description, but I don't recall reading about them). They are nice dogs, but very energetic and large. My kids loved them but some guests may not.

This property is amazing, and the hosts are great. Jan stayed up with us until the wee hours of the night helping us drive out into the jungle. Great times!
