Double room in Serafina Villa near SJO - Guesthouses for Rent in Belen, Heredia, Costa Rica

Ideal pre-flight location walking distance to bars, restaurants and facilities of the Double Tree Hilton Hotel.

Highly recommended. It's a truly beautiful property; the house is fantastic, and the common areas are spotlessly clean... The host's service is impeccable, and the same goes for the gentleman who helps out at the property. It's also very, very centrally located. I would definitely come back.

Super recomendado. Es una propiedad realmente hermosa, la casa es de sueño, y los espacios comunes limdisimo... el trato de la anfitriona impecable y del señor que apoya en la propiedad ni que hablar, es muy muy céntrico. Volvería sin duda.

An exceptional place, 100% recommended. Very attentive and very helpful. I am very satisfied and of course I will be back soon!

Un lugar excepcional, recomendados al 100%. Muy atentos y muy serviciales. Me siento muy satisfecho y claro que volveré pronto!

Very good to end our stay before returning to France

Très bien pour terminer notre séjour avant de rentrer en France

Beautiful place where we have slept twice as an overnight stay after or before a flight to or from San José. Great beds and pillows. Slept wonderfully. The person who let us in was very helpful and nice lovely place!!!

Prachtige plek waar we al twee keer hebben geslapen als overnachting na of voor een vlucht naar of vanuit San José. Geweldige bedden en kussens. Heerlijk geslapen. De persoon die ons binnenliet was erg behulpzaam en aardige heerlijke plek!!!

The facility was everything we wanted and more.  Superb!

Super beautiful place and wonderful to stay here our first night after the long trip to Costa Rica.

Supermooie plek en heerlijk om hier onze eerste nacht te verblijven na de lange reis naar Costa Rica.

For us the perfect place to land in San José. Close to airport, a huge house with lovely pool, extensive kitchen to use and super clean. Leo is incredibly friendly and helpful. Helped us saw through the lock of our bag (which had broken) and called our car rental company with our questions. Felt very much at home there.

Voor ons de perfecte plek om even te landen in San José. Vlakbij vliegveld, een enorm huis met heerlijk zwembad, uitgebreide keuken te gebruiken en super schoon. Leo is ontzettend vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Hielp ons met het slot van onze tas doorzagen (die was kapot gegaan) en belde met onze autoverhuurder met onze vragen. Voelden ons er heel erg thuis.

A fantastic, comfortable, beautiful space. At a reasonable price and with many pluses, highly recommended is beautiful.

Un espacio fantastico, comodo, hermoso. A un precio razonable y con muchísimos pluses, muy recomendable es hermoso.

Really easy to find, the only challenging part was finding someone to open the gate at check out. We were able to find someone fairly quickly though. Otherwise, the place was really nice and perfect for our one night stay.

Great value room, near the airport (our flight was very early, so the traffic wasn't too bad) and hard to believe it was so near the centre of San Jose. huge house that you can use, with big kitchen, pool, and living space. cofmy beds too. lovely gardens with surroundings, and great view!

Excellent accommodation, I felt right at home, everything was very clean, tidy and full of great detail. I would return a thousand more times, an excellent place to stay and how good it is close to many tourist places.

Excelente alojamiento, me sentí como en casa, todo estaba muy limpio, ordenado y lleno de mucho detalle. Regresaría mil veces más, un excelente lugar para hospedarse y lo bueno que queda cerca de muchos lugares turísticos.

The house that has been converted to a few airbnbs is beautiful. The back yard and the view is so pretty. The rooms are neat and uncluttered. The beds and linens are very comfortable and clean. However, there is nowhere in the property to make a coffee or tea though. There is no cups/ glasses to drink water in the room either. Overall very good experience with our one night stay.

We spent the late afternoon and the morning in the house. Leo, the caretaker, is super nice and he was always there for what we needed. We had the house to us as there were no other tenants, this was the only concern because we had chosen a guesthouse to share with hosts or other tenants but the place is beautiful.

Nous avons passé la fin d'après midi et la matinée dans la maison. Leo, le gardien, est super gentil et il a toujours été présent pour ce dont nous avions besoin. Nous avions la maison à nous car il n'y avait pas d'autres locataires, ça a été le seul soucis car nous avions choisi une maison d'hôtes pour partager avec les hôtes ou les autres locataires mais l'endroit est magnifique.

What a lovely place to stay, even though we were only there for one night, sitting outside, walking around the property and enjoying the pool was very delightful. Highly recommended this place. Leo the caretaker was very helpful with letting us come early, showing us around and generally taking care of our needs. We loved the room we stayed in and were happy that we could use the kitchen for dinner and breakfast that we had brought. Leo also helped us get a taxi to the airport. We will definitely stay again when we come back.

We really enjoyed the evening we spent at this property.  The location on the golf course was beautiful to wake up to after arriving in the city in the dark the night before.  Leo was happy to welcome us and show us around.  We had a great sleep in the comfortable beds and were able to walk to a Fresh Market and restaurant called Sip for a wonderful breakfast of smoothie bowls (approx 10 min walk) We were being picked up shortly after breakfast so weren't able to spend much time utilizing the pool or pool table but just dipping our toes in felt wonderful and we were happy for the calm, scenic surroundings.  It is an older property so although it is grand, it is dated - but we did not mind at all and would stay again.

The place is beautiful, the room impeccable. Everything was very comfortable and accessible. I would be back without thinking

El lugar es hermoso, la habitación impecable. Todo muy cómodo y accesible. Volvería sin pensarlo

Beautiful room in a beautiful mansion! Ultra-clean! Would highly recommend!

Magnifique chambre dans un superbe manoir! Ultrapropre! Je le conseille fortement !

This was a perfect place to stay before we got home. It is located in the city, close to the airport, but feels very private and peaceful. Marlene was very attentive to our entire trip in case we needed help with something and to make the registration easier. Her instructions were clear, the room was perfectly clean, the beds are comfortable, and the propidead has beautiful views. Leo received us super fast, we didn't have to wait for anything for the gate to get out or in and he is a very friendly person.

Este fue un lugar perfecto para quedarnos antes de volver a casa. Esta ubicado en la ciudad, cerca del aeropurto, pero se siente muy privado y pacifico. Marlene estuvo muy atenta todo nuestro viaje por si neceistabamos ayuda con algo y para hacer nuesta registracion mas facil. sus instrucciones fueron claras, el cuarto estaba perfectamente limpio, las camas son comodas, y la propidead tiene unas vistas hermosas. Leo nos recibio super rapido, no tuvimos que esperar nada por la reja para salir o entrar y el es una persona muy amable.

It seems to me that it is a quiet stay, good location and with good extra amenities such as the kitchen, pool and entertainment venues, which makes it strategic for a stay that is used for work.

Me parece que es un hospedaje silencioso, bien ubicado y con buenas comodidades adicionales, como la cocina, la piscina y los lugares de entretenimiento, que lo hace estratégico para una hospedaje que se utiliza con motivos de trabajo.

Just like in the photos, great location and communication 10/10

Tal como en las fotos  excelente ubicación y la comunicación 10/10

Excellent place, very close to downtown San José.

Excelente lugar, muy cerca del centro de San José.

Super Pura Vida ! The impressively positive hosting team! Friendly, kind, helpful. They are very nice people who made us feel even more comfortable ! The place has a 10 ✌🏻 Adid and Don Bernardo took care of the best!

Súper Pura Vida ! El equipo de anfitriones  impresionantemente positivo! Amables, gentiles, serviciales. Son personas muy lindas que nos hicieron sentirnos aún más cómodos ! El lugar tiene un 10 ✌🏻 Adid y don Bernardo nos atendieron de lo mejor!

Very good location, excellent service, for sure if I return to San José, I will stay at Serafina Villa.

Muy buena ubicación, excelente atención, de seguro si regreso a San José, me hospedare en Serafina Villa.

The place is according to the description, it is quiet, ideal for resting

El lugar es acorde a la descripción, es tranquilo, ideal para descansar

This was the perfect place for us to stay while in San Jose. The house is removed from the city and provided a nice quiet environment. The grounds and pool were a plus and we wish we could have stayed here longer. Leo was super kind and always willing to help us out when we needed it, and he even woke up super early to open the gate for us when we left for the airport. Everything was clean and common areas were well kept and inviting.

A great option to stay! We were only our last night before returning from Costa Rica and it was very comfortable due to its proximity to the airport. The room and bathroom is just like the photos, everything was very clean. Communication with the host was very good, and so was the attention to the listing. Thank you very much!

Una gran opción de hospedaje! Solo estuvimos nuestra última noche antes de regresar de Costa Rica y fue muy cómodo por su cercanía al aeropuerto. La habitación y el baño es tal cual las fotos, todo estaba muy limpio. La comunicación con la anfitriona fue muy buena y la atención en el alojamiento también. Muchas gracias!

The location is excellent. The neighborhood feels safe. Marlene is very responsive. The beds are nice and comfy. The only issue we had was getting in and out of the gate. When coming in, you have to ring a bell and wait for the caretaker to come and open the gate. Sometimes he doesn't come, and we had to message Marlene and wait for her to contact him. When leaving the property, we had to go looking for him on this big property and inside the house and ask him to open the gate for us. This took over 10 minutes one time. This is not his fault. He works as a caretaker and has other jobs to do on the property as well. He was always working, just not necessarily near the gate. It's just a poor system. A gate code or control that the guest can use on their own would be much more convenient.

The place is very nice and very comfortable, with an incredible view of the golf course, and the gentleman I read who took care of us very kindly.

El lugar es muy bonito y muy comodo, con una vista al campo de golf increíble, y el señor leo que nos atendió muy amable.

Highly recommended, I would definitely stay there again. Everything is super Perfect, Pool table in perfect condition, clean pool and super comfortable space

Súper recomendado, volvería a ir alojarme ahi sin duda alguna. Todo súper Perfecto, mesa de Pool en perfectas condiciones, piscina limpia y espacio súper cómodo

A beautiful and quiet place that I definitely plan to return to! The excellent location, 5-10 minutes from the airport and with important roads that connect to downtown. The house in its entirety is a 10/10, very well-kept and totally clean and impeccable despite being an old house, the sheets and pillows are very comfortable and evidently clean. The bathroom is spacious and has toiletries. The best part of our experience was the custodian of the property Mr. Leo, who from the beginning welcomed us with excellent treatment and was always available in case we needed anything, in addition to being a person with excellent values who enjoys living and meeting his tenants, we are deeply grateful to him and we are only waiting for the moment to go to visit him again. Definitely a place you can't miss if you are passing through or your stay will be long in San José, enjoy the peace and quiet with beautiful views of the Cariari Golf Course.

Un lugar hermoso y tranquilo al que sin duda pienso regresar! La ubicación excelente, a 5-10 min del aeropuerto y con vías importantes que conectan con el centro de la ciudad, la casa en su totalidad es un 10/10, muy cuidada y totalmente limpia e impecable a pesar de ser una casa antigua, las sabanas y almohadas muy comodas y evidentemente limpias, el baño es amplio y cuenta con enseres de aseo personal. Lo mejor de nuestra experiencia fué el custodio de la propiedad el señor Leo, quien desde el primer momento nos recibió con excelente trato y siempre estuvo disponible por si necesitabamos algo, además de ser una persona con excelentes valores que disfruta convivir y conocer a sus inquilinos, estamos profundamente agradecidos con él y solo esperamos el momento para volver a ir a visitarlo. Sin duda un lugar que no te puedes perder si estás de paso o tu estancia será larga en San José, disfruta de la paz y tranquilidad con hermosas vistas al campo de Golf Cariari.

Excellent location, Leo is super friendly. The house is beautiful to another era. I will be back

Excelente ubicación, Leo super amable. La casa hermosa me transporte a otra época. Regresaré

Marlene’s place was a perfect way to end our trip in Costa Rica. Everything looked liked the pictures and the beds were soooo comfortable! The grounds keeper was very friendly and gave us good recommendations. Would stay again!

Amazing attention and very happy to choose this place for a break. Definitely a place to go again.

Atención increíble y muy contentos de elegir este lugar para un descanso. Definitivamente un lugar para volver a ir.

A beautiful place to stay, as seen on the pictures, and it says in the description. The communication with Marlene was quick and easy. The house keeper Leo was also super nice and helpful. The location is perfect - between San Jose and the airport. I highly recommend it.

Eine wunderschöne Unterkunft, wie auf den Bildern zu sehen und es in der Beschreibung steht. Die Kommunikation mit Marlene war schnell und einfach. Der Hauswärter Leo war auch super nett und hilfsbereit. Die Lage ist perfekt - zwischen San Jose und dem Flughafen. Kann die Unterkunft sehr empfehlen.

I love it... I really recommend the place... ver beautiful.

This is an excellent place in every way of the word , super private, super clean, super comfortable, in short, a place that is sure to return , access to restaurants and bars, its good , and the main access roads, super well ... 100% recommended

Este es un excelente lugar en todos los sentidos de la palabra , súper privado, súper limpio, super cómodo, en fin un lugar que de seguro regreso , el acceso a restaurantes y bares su bien , y las principales vías de acceso super bien … 100% recomendado

This place was lovely! I would stay here again. Very clean and accommodating.

This place is exactly as it is described and is very beautiful. The best part is the host and the care taker who were very empathetic and supportive. I would like to appreciate Leo, who was the care taker, for his friendliness and his interest towards getting to know the guests. I’d definitely visit again to Marlene’s place should I get a chance in the future.w

As accurate as advertised good place to stay
