The house was spacious and clean, the kitchen was large and fully equipped. The kingsized bed in the master bedroom was large and comfortable with a great morning and night view. The pool was as advertised: very nice temperature and large enough for a family. The TV worked well with many channels but we did not use it.Eunice, the local property manager, was quickly responsive to text and phone communications.We enjoyed our time at Villa Serenidad immensely.

Nature lovers paradise
A great place to reconnect with nature and friends, play some cards on the terrace and cool off in the pool. The kitchen is well equipped, the beds were comfy. The house looks like the photos. Atenas was hot while we were here so the pool helped tremendously - would not recommend staying at a house without a pool in the dry season there! The evenings were nice and cool and two of the bedrooms had very large windows with screens so that created a great breeze. The BBQ was brand new and almost industrial sized. It fed our group of 6 easily. Highly recommend taking advantage of that!Eunice was great to work with - very easy going and also took care of our every need.

The property was perfect for our stay. We had 9 family members staying together. Ages ranged from 17 to 82. The house offered everything we needed for everyone to be comfortable. Kitchen was well appointed. Large dining table. Comfortable sitting area to enjoy the fabulous views. Pool to cook off. We were lucky to find this home at the last minute when our previous rental did not work for our party. Would definitely stay here again!

Animals 😊
We stayed with our family of 10. Everyone fit perfectly. Location was a dream. Loved waking up to cows mooing and birds chitchatting. We even had large toads eating all the bugs at night, which became a regular evening event that entertained us. Pool was a lifesaver with all day activities and the heat and humidity.

Hi Jeff and Kara,
Your place is beautiful, it has an amazing view! The high ceilings and the master bedroom were our favorite but every corner of the house is gorgeous. We loved to see our kids enjoy the pool while watching them from inside the house. We had an amazing stay! Also, Eunice was great with the communication.
We are giving you 5 stars. The only thing we would add to make it completely perfect would be the A/C, at least in the rooms…. It was over 85 and at some point we had to go to the car to cool down. We would’ve stayed longer if it had it.
Thank you!

Great Family Vacation
The Villa Serenidad was the perfect home for our family vacation. The outdoor pool area was enjoyed by all 7 of us to swim and enjoy the gorgeous scenic overlook to the valley and the mountains beyond. The inside space included everything we needed; a very well stocked kitchen, laundry, nice appliances, long and roomy dining room table, comfortable seating in the great room, bedrooms and baths were also fine. This is a quiet neighborhood to enjoy scenic Costa Rica. We met a kind and friendly neighbor who cooked a delicious dinner for us. The communication with the property owners and the property manager was very easy and efficient. Upon engagement for the property, Jeff sent a precise and detailed copy of everything concerning the house. Our family is still talking about the trip and sharing memories.

Family Vacation
We stay 2 1/2 weeks at Villa Serenidad and enjoyed the vacation with the complete family - 7 adults and 2 toddlers.
We particularly liked the rural surroundings and the fantastic view of nature. The children had fun with the farm animals every day and we enjoyed the unusual visitors.
We used the pool every day and it is ideal for children. In the village of Atenas there are numerous shopping opportunities and typical restaurants.
The wealth of information in the Vills Serenidad manual was very helpful. Valentino was also available for us the whole time and we were happy to make use of his numerous contacts and information.
Oscar in particular - driver and friend - helped us to discover Costa Rica's natural parks in a relaxed way on day trips.
The vacation in the villa will remain unforgettable for us.

AMAZING!
Villa Serenidad exceeded our expectations! It is a beautiful home and the view is wonderful. We really liked watching the cows and calves next door and meeting Iggy the iguana.
The people of Atenas and all of Costa Rica are welcoming and so helpful with those who are not at all fluent in Spanish! I don't think we ever had even close to a bad meal either! We took advantage of having a meal cooked and delivered to us and it was delicious. Our friends joined us for a part of our stay and we heard many exclamations of 'nirvana' and 'heavenly'. Thank you for letting us stay at your property. Maybe the only negative comment we would have is that there is no hammock! That didn't seem to get in the way of our enjoying the pool and veranda, however, so it maybe it isn't a necessity after all.

Great home in a great location!
We have been to CR several times and wanted to do something different for this trip. Renting a home in this location turned out to be a nice change. Unfortunately, the pool was a bit too cool for us but it was so nice to have a private, quiet space to relax in between our outings. We had coffee as we enjoyed the views each morning with the birds singing and finished up with a drink in the evening as we looked out at the lights twinkling in the distane. This home is set next to a working farm, meaning there arent homes right up against you, and it was fun to hear the cows mooing, birds talking, and watching the occasional visiting iguana come by to say hello. Communication from the owner was fast and he was thorough with all the relevant information. When asked, he recommended the neighbor to prepare and delivered an excellent CR dish for our first night. After a long travel day, it was so convenient to have that brought to us! Overall, it was everything we hoped it would be. The home is quite spacious and I'd definitely recommend it for a couple or a group. Plus, the price for a home that size and that nice is more than worth it!

Villa Serenidad is aptly named
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa Serenidad. The house was clean and spacious, with screened doors and windows all around to let in the breeze.
The swimming pool and shaded patio were peaceful and inviting. The pool was immaculate and the there were plenty of poolside chairs and tables for our group of 4.
The location of the Villa on a dead-end road in a gated community made for a very private stay. The only traffic sounds were the mooing of cows on their way down the path to the river.
The Villa was a little further from town than expected (we thought we would be walking to town), mostly because we didn’t understand the reality of roads and pedestrians in Costa Rica. Even so, the drive is short and there are good restaurants, banks and a nice supermarket within a ten-minute drive.
We took day trips to the Poás Volcano, Las Mina, and Jaco - all very doable in an easy day.
The property manager Eunice was very responsive to the few questions we had (highly recommend WhatsApp for communication), neighbor Heidy made and delivered a lovely Costa Rican meal to the Villa, and Oscar arranged for a very competent masseuse to come to the Villa. We felt very well cared for.
It sure was quiet when we had to pack up and leave - very sad to leave this little slice of heaven.

Dear Michelle,
I extend my heartfelt gratitude for choosing to stay at my Villa this week. Your enjoyment of the relaxing pool atmosphere brought me great joy. I want to express my appreciation for maintaining my property in excellent condition and impeccable order throughout your stay.
Upon reflection, I discovered an oversight in my ratings, where I mistakenly gave you a 4 ⭐️ on House Rules and Cleanliness when it should have undoubtedly been a 5⭐️. I sincerely apologize for this oversight and any confusion it may have caused.
Your positive presence was truly valued, and I hope to have the pleasure of hosting you again at the Villa in the near future.

Relaxing, comforting Villa, and Full Service Experience!
My friends and I came to Costa Rica for the first time and we are happy with Villa Serenidad! It was perfect for the 7 of us. It has all the amenities you’d need for either group of adults or families with kids. Made lots of meals and enjoyed lots of pool time!
Jeff was very helpful communicating transportation from the airport and around in Atenas. He provides a very thorough guide way before check in that helped plan our 6 days in Alajuela. One guide included the local contacts that can help, including Eunice the property manager and Oscar, local tour driver. Eunice helped us arrange check in and any small questions we had during our stay. The neighbors are also very friendly and even made my group dinner for our last night.
I do want to recommend taking advantage of the contacts that Jeff shares. As my group was big, many attractions in Costa Rica are quite spread out, and we also had limited Spanish speaking knowledge, we knew we’d need to look into shuttles, rent a car, and a guide. We shared our itinerary with Oscar, who works with the Villa owners and will take you wherever in Costa Rica you need, and are we so so glad we did! We went to Jaco for catamaran, coffee tour at Doka Coffee Plantation, Monteverde for zip lining, and La Paz Waterfalls, and Oscar was with us every step of the way. He has many CR contacts and can take you off the beaten path. Super friendly and he really made our trip special and comfortable.
Amazing vacation, can’t recommend enough!

Not what you're hoping for, despite the lovely location
This place *looks* like the pics...until you're trying to live in it. We travel the world, accustomed to staying in the Caribbean/Ctrl America. We are aware of the things that come w/that--including insects.
There were THOUSANDS of crawling ants parading through master bed/bath. We ended up sleeping there, but using diff baths for fear of having to step barefoot through ants to pee at night. The prop mgr assured us the "flying ants" were an agricultural nuisance, & that prop owner fumigated. These were NOT flying ants. They crawled EVERYWHERE, coming through the wood of the house. I have photos/videos I'm happy to share. No other remedy. Disgusting.
Lots of disconnects...Like being told that we are responsible for daily pool maintenance, but skimmer basket was snapped off the handle, not replaced. Water level in pool was too low for filter to work properly. They ask you to handwash plastic drinkware (not a real glass in the house--annoying, trying to enjoy a nice wine) & to clean counters, but no kitchen towels. No pool towels.
Private farm-like setting. Great view. Convenient location. Overall, felt bare bones compared with the listing, esp for the price (we happily/frequently pay for quality). Folks w/kids note elec cow fence on path--no warning.
Almost cancelled before going--inconsistencies in who was listed as owner (Valentino? Jeff?)--seemed sketchy. Turned out ok, but weird. No meet/greet for check-in, alarm was armed (we were told it wasn't). Look elsewhere.

Dear Karen,
I hope this message finds you well.
I must admit, your recent poor review of your short stay at our villa left me quite disheartened. When you began expressing strong dissatisfaction with the "host fees" that VRBO and Airbnb charge to each guest I was initially apprehensive about confirming your booking. I even went as far as suggesting that you reconsider booking our place if you were uncomfortable with these “host fees”.
Over the years, we've received countless glowing reviews on VRBO from satisfied guests who have enjoyed their time at our villa and the surrounding area. Our property is professionally managed by one of the top real estate franchises globally, known for its impeccable standards of service and hospitality. Our property manager, Eunice, went above and beyond to ensure your needs were met during your short stay.
Regarding the meet and greet protocol, it's not something we typically offer as many guests arrive at varying times, including late at night. However, Eunice did make an effort to check in with you one hour after your arrival, and you assured her that everything was in order.
Regarding the amenities provided, we take great care to ensure our guests have everything they need for a comfortable stay. We have 10 beach towels and new kitchen towels in the kitchen, Eunice asked if you needed more towels, but you told her not to bother.
Insects such as ants are attracted by the outside lights at night and they are part of Costa Rica's natural ecosystem, they are very hard to control but we have measures in place to mitigate their presence. The property gets sprayed each week by our pest control company.
As for pool maintenance, we never dare to ask for guests to be responsible for daily upkeep while on vacation. Eunice is just one call away should a serious problem arise, we have professional pool services that attend to it weekly, and our new automatic water pump filler ensures the water level remains optimal.
Regarding the use of glassware, we prioritize guest safety, especially around the pool area, which is why we provide acrylic wine glasses in the kitchen.
Lastly, regarding the cows in the vicinity, they are safely contained within an isolated area of the valley, far from the villa, and secured by a low voltage harmless electric fence which is common in many parts of the world.
I hope this clarifies any misunderstandings and sheds light on the efforts we've made to ensure your comfort and satisfaction during your stay.
Warm regards,
Valentino Salvi
