Luxury 2-Story, Spectacular Ocean & Mountain Views, Central to Costa Rica Sites

We returned after a 5 year hiatus (Bella Vivace) and this time stayed in Vista Vivace, this 2-story home and it was lovely! We looked forward to the views each morning and especially for the sunsets each early eve in beautiful weather. Spacious, clean, perfectly appointed furniture to play card games/have wine/dine etc, had all the amenities including a washer and an awesome patio. It was great seeing Andy and Nancy again (easy communication through WhatsApp) and enjoyed dinner with them in their home/upstairs. Enjoyed San Ramon (only 10 min drive) for restaurants (Green Garden, Crave, Nectandra cafe), sodas (Las Tinajitas, Donde Culebra) and groceries (feria/market open on weekend). Naranjo's Espiritu coffee tour and Finca Gerardo/small hike/catarata (40 min away). We hope to be back in the near future! Thank you to our hosts/friends!

Vista Vivace was a perfect place to stay in the Central Valley! The owners, Nancy and Andy, are lovely, generous people and welcomed us to to their home. The one bedroom was perfect for a couple with the living space above the bedroom. The full wall of windows plus an outdoor patio allowed full enjoyment of the view and sunset. Kitchen was fully stocked with all the equipment and there is a washer in the unit and a dedicated clothes line in the carport. There are some short sections of gravel road to get to the home but are not an issue. Location is approx 10 min to get to San Ramon for dining/shopping and was convenient.Would definitely return if in area.

the property was beautiful, the views amazing, host very helpful with computer technical difficulties and kind enough to take us to town to show us the best shopping places and farmers market.

Luxury is accurate….tile, granite, hardwood throughout, huge deck with all the furniture, all necessary applicances, washer too. Very clean and everything worked, internet was very stable. Andy and Nancy were great and live right on the site. We used this unit as a base for travel to the volcanos and waterfalls and day trips all over everywhere. Be sure to be home by 5 for those sunsets.

Our first glimpse from the second floor kitchen / living room / terrace set the stage for a glorious two week stay. The view from the wall of windows overlooking the valley and Bay of Nicoya is jaw dropping. Pictures don’t do it justice. Nancy and Andy are welcoming, kind, and generous hosts. We felt like we were visiting friends. Add in warm days and perfectly cool nights, easy access to groceries and other necessities, and a wealth of possibilities to explore and this property is a true treasure.

Do not hesitate to to rent here. Quiet, breathtaking views, absolutely wonderful!

The place was clean, beautiful setting, and wonderful hosts. The dinner in their amazing home was delicious. I can’t wait to come again !

The apartment is new, clean and spacious and the views from the living level and terrace are out of this world. We stayed for one wonderful month (January) and are returning for another 5 weeks in March. The apartment is on a quiet dirt road, has wonderful north wind breezes, and many birds on property. Route 1 is a three minute drive and San Ramon, another 4 minutes. Andy and Nancy are wonderful hosts and Andy is a fantastic chef (be sure to request a special dinner or breakfast)! I would, and will return!!

Nancy and Andy are wonderful hosts for the apartment adjacent to their home in a beautiful neighborhood just outside of San Ramon (just off Hwy 1.). They are gracious hosts who willingly share their love of the area and their story about their move to Costa Rica. The apartment is modern and very comfortable, and the views of the valley and even the Pacific in the distance are beautiful. We would highly recommend this stay!

Nancy and Andy are great from the moment we entered the property. Very helpful in all ways and always attentive to our needs, which was mostly directions to places near San Ramon or things to do with the property. Andy is soooooo laid back and extremely helpful. He offered to take us into San Ramon to the market when we arrived. Our unit had everything a home would need, and lacked nothing. We felt secure in the time we spent at the property. The property is worth the drive, and we hope to stay here again in the future when visiting this part of the country. Thank you Nancy and Andy for a very enjoyable and relaxing stay. ..see you again.
