Beautiful private property with breathtaking views overlooking the valley of San Jose. The property manager was very responsive and helpful. They helped set up rides and shuttles to the airport. The place is spacious and feels cozy, when we arrived we wished we could have had more time. It was such a special place to end our trip, enjoying the city lights of the evening and the sunrise in the morning.

The house is beautiful and spacious with excellent views of the valley. We had the whole family there. The grand kids liked roaming the grounds looking for butterfly’s while us older adults enjoyed the fresh air and the view. It seemed too good to be true but Felipe made sure that we got in and everything was ready for us. Thanks we had a great stay!

I don't know if I can say enough about our stay, it was incredible. The house was amazing with gorgeous views both day and night. But I have to be completely honest, the hospitality we received from Felipe was the most memorable and appreciated. Felipe goes above and beyond to make sure you have everything you need to enjoy your stay. If I could give more than 5 stars it would be because him. Felipe also set up with an amazing private chef, Chef Gabriel!!! I highly recommend that you ask for his amazing service during your stay. He was professional and the food he prepared was outstanding, we enjoyed our meal out on the patio while enjoying the panoramic view of the San Jose city lights. I feel like we gained great friendships from our stay, which I've never been able to say about past reservations. Thank you so much for the amazing experience! Pura Vida!!!

Outstanding property, very clean, amazing views
Check in process was good, property is well located, we did a coffee tour located only 10 minutes away. Poas volcano is 30 minutes away. San Jose Airport is 20 min away. Property was clean and had everything we needed in the kitchen to prepare meals.

We enjoyed this house even more during our 2nd stay! We soaked up the view, did yoga on the deck, and sat in the hot tub to finish our stay in CR with perfection. Felipe was super helpful with directions, advice, and lab recommendations for our return tests. The house is amazing and we want to return!!

Our party of 8 had a fantastic stay. Felipe made sure there was dinner at the house (for a reasonable charge) when our plane was delayed and all the restaurants were already closed due to COVID. Each couple had a separate space, it is glorious to have your own bathroom in each room, and the sunrise was a memory we won’t forget! We have already booked the house again for the last couple days of our trip. This is truly a retreat!

This property is kind of a bond villain/narco lair ensconced behind two ominous gates. It boasts expansive views of the entire central valley from its perch atop the mountains of Alajuela. The photos are no exaggeration. The house is huge, with four bedrooms and a second casita consisting of two more bedrooms with en-suite baths. The living room is room vast and it has a useful covered porch area with a bbq and outdoor dining table. The clean and modern kitchen is well-equipped. Parking behind the second porton is awkward because there is no turn-around but it feels like cars left outside would be secure. The property is located in a bucolic neighborhood reminiscent of old Tiquicia. Easy access to Poas and the La Paz Waterfall Park make this a good choice if those are on your agenda. There is an Auto Mercado (great supermarket) nearby and a first-rate Mirador restaurant just down the road. Strangely, one of the world's largest indoor malls is also located nearby. You will have to navigate downtown Alajuela to get to the airport but you avoid the dreaded Pista which is endlessly under construction.
The agent is responsive and there is also a contact just up the street. This is a good thing because you are entirely dependent of the somewhat janky remote control openers for the gates (hence only 4 stars on the "check-in" category). Don't lose or damage the openers or you will be trapped by the giant gates. Also be aware that you can easily lock your keys in the house because the locking hardware is not set up to be left unlocked.

Perfect for our family reunion! Fit our 15 family members with room to spare. The view was amazing and it was a convenient drive to the airport. The staff was very attentive. We had problems with the oven the first night and they replaced it with a new one the next day. We had the chef prepare half of our meals and they were so good, we wish we tried more of his dishes. All of them were spectacular, but Caribbean dishes are his specialty! Our kids were clamoring for more patacones. Thank you for such a delightful stay.

The best view and most comfortable stay!
We love this house! We keep coming back :)
Having been all over the San Jose valley, this house is consistently wonderful. The house is in the clouds, the weather is always perfect.
Clean and comfortable, and so easy to get anywhere from the location! The kitchen is fully stocked and fun to cook in.... You are 8 min from Automarcado (a very nice grocery store).
We feel safe and able to relax and unwind!
Felipe, the property manager is amazing and incredibly helpful. He helped us have covid tests at the house for our return to the US.
Everything you need is close by in Alajuela!

Stunning view - comfortable home
The view is spectacular. It is as if you are in heaven with the sky, then a cloud forest, then watching the sunset, moonrise, sunrise. Beautiful and etheric.
We loved our stay. The house is just as it is described. The bedrooms are suites, each has its own bathroom. So while you are close together in the house, it doesn't feel that way. The energy is very good, very clear and nurturing.
The kitchen is well equipped - there is an excellent grocery store is 8 min away. Felipe is very responsive and welcoming. Wifi is great :) The patio is amazing. You will feel at home.
We will definitely stay again!

Amazing
This place was so beautiful, the view that you get at sunrise and sunset was amazing, at night you get to enjoy the valle central city lights, it was breath taking. The house it’s so big that even with lots of people everyone can have their alone time, each bedroom with their own full bathroom was perfect, the kitchen had all the utensils that we need it everything easy to find and very clean. The manager Felipe was an amazing host explain all the details, walk me through the grounds of the property, explain all the rules, always had a fast response of any question I had for him about the property.
Definitely will be staying here again :)

Best Veterans Day Vacation
This property was exactly like the pictures showed. A few of my army veterans stayed here to celebrate out 30th year reunion. We had a blast and the house was lovely. The view was awesome. The guys loved it. Although it was not in a tourist area, we felt safe because of the double gates it had for access. Felipe the property manager was very helpful made the trip easy for us. Thanks for allowing us to stay at this property to celebrate a important moment in our lives.

Breathtaking views, luxurious comfort!
We had a week in paradise at Casa Cerro Verde! Our first steps inside this beautiful house took our breath away - surrounded by lush vegetation and beautiful flowers, the view across the valley and down into San Jose are unbeatable! Mornings on the terrace drinking coffee, we felt like celebrities in this amazing, beautifully-kept villa. For a family of 12, it is literally the perfect set up - six rooms, each with their own bathroom, a fully stocked kitchen, plenty of open space to enjoy without feeling cramped in any way. The rooms are serene, the grounds are lush, we had all of our requests and more! The icing on the cake was being welcomed by Felipe, the property manager, who could not have been more gracious. Any help or information we needed, he was there for us. We felt like royalty!
We were close to so many great places, including downtown San Jose, La Paz Waterfalls, the Poas Volcano, so many markets and cafes, roadside stands and coffee fields. Every day on the property we were visited by hummingbirds, parrots and motmots, and on two of the days we were graced with toucans! We fell in love with Casa Cerro Verde from the minute we arrived and we hope to come back again some day!!
