CoffeePlantation Villa, The Only One W Majestic Mountain AND Ocean Views & Tours
About this villa rental
Situated in San José Province, this lovely villa for $190 per night is a fantastic choice for your next trip. CASA LA FRONTERA DEL CIELO (The House Next To Heaven) The Only One With Spectacular Views Of Mountains AND Pacific Ocean/Gulf of Nicoya You will believe it only when you see it in person (as the photos posted here unfortunately do not do justice to the nearly 360 degrees of panoramas). This house sits standing watch at the top of a mountain, at an altitude of over 3200 feet, above the town of Atenas overlooking the great western valley that extends all the way to the Pacific Ocean. Located as it is at 'Heaven's doorstep', it has the most astonishing views found in Central America available right out of your living room, day or night. Not only can you see the Costa Rican lush (possessing all conceivable shades of green!) rainforest from most of the perimeter of the property, but can also take in the Pacific coast and ocean from your pool. Enjoy your very own private garden teeming with wildlife, vivid tropical flora and fruit trees including avocado, lemon, mango, banana, plantain, guava, coffee and other exotic delicacies. Watch and listen to the local wild birds as they sing and flit from tree to tree in the grove behind the house. (You'll be astounded at how close the little chicks get when they pay you a visit at the pool during one of Costa Rica's gentle rains.) Enjoy the soothing breezes from your hammock in the front of the house, or in the house’s unique reading room which allows you, while staying indoors, to enjoy the cross wind that comes up one side of the mountain and down the other. [National Geographic named Atenas as having the BEST climate in the world. Experience it for yourself!] And the vistas don’t quit. You can still drink them in during the unparalleled experience of your very own private 'jacuzzi with a view', or while bar-b-queuing or dining al fresco in the house’s veranda. The house, which sleeps four to six people* (see below for details*), is itself an architectural marvel. The striking wrought iron winding staircase and railings naturally draw your eyes to the dramatic twenty-foot-high wood ceilings in the main house. The kitchen’s silver and gold-veined marble counters invite you to join your other guests to sit and share in a meal or cocktails. The open design of the reading room, with its large windows that make you feel like you are outside while still indoor, provides a road map to relaxation. Excellently appointed throughout, the house’s two bedrooms and three bathrooms are, likewise, marked by impressive attention to detail as evidenced by exquisite marble and wood finishes, and finely crafted furniture and fixtures. **** We request that groups booking a stay at our property numbering over four individuals rent the casita in the back of the property in addition to the main house. Please note that access to the casita which you can see in some of the photos of the back of the property is NOT automatically granted to rentals of groups of four or less guests. The casita can be rented for a Flat Fee of $350.00 per booking - regardless of the length of stay. Groups numbering six or more guests are, without exceptions, required to rent the casita in addition to the main villa. *** We suggest that our guests sample the following at least one evening during their stay with us: try the Jacuzzi while turning the outside lights off. On a cloudless night this will prove to be a truly transcendental experience. The beauty of the nighttime sky at our location on the mountaintop is striking. You will swear you can just stretch your hand and touch the ancient astronomers’ celestial sphere. (A sneak preview can be seen in one of our posted photos.) It’s one way to find out why we are named The House Next To Heaven. A five minute drive to Atenas, but also, given its central location in the country, it is close to most of the main attractions in Costa Rica: including its volcanoes, butterfly gardens, rainforests equipped with canopy tours and zip lines waiting for you to explore them and, yes, it’s within driving distance of the famous Pacific coast beaches. Multiple tours in the area allow for boating, white water rafting, hiking, horseback riding, and so much more. For those seeking culture, Escazú (a sophisticated bilingual area of fabulous restaurants, stores, exclusive boutiques, English language bookstores and movies) is also a 45-minute drive away. Explore Casa La Frontera del Cielo's location utilizing the interactive map application. Also, once you contact us, we will provide you with a link that will allow you to to see its close vicinity to all the local popular attractions! You may also check out the interactive map on our Facebook page. While there, view our slide show 'A Day at Casa La Frontera del Cielo'. As an additional service to our house guests, we offer a fee-based airport pick up and drop-off to help you avoid the potential hassles involved in the transitions into and out of your time in Costa Rica (something to particularly consider when you have night-time travel plans, but a nice comfort to have in any event). We also provide car rentals and tours to all corners of the country, including the Poas and Arenal volcanoes, a 'crocodile tour' to Jaco, a tour to the La Paz Waterfall gardens, and tours custom made to our guests' requests throughout Costa Rica. Your very own sanctum of peace in the middle of a rainforest paradise, the very next thing to being in Nirvana: Casa Frontera del Cielo, The House Next To Heaven … * * * * * * - PLEASE NOTE - * * * * ** We can guarantee our guests absolute privacy during their stay as we DO NOT RENT INDIVIDUAL ROOMS, so there will NEVER be other guests sharing the property with you.

WE DO NOT RENT INDIVIDUAL ROOMS (INCLUDING THE GUEST HOUSE/CASITA) INDEPENDENTLY OF THE WHOLE VILLA ***

We had a great vacation at this home. Klaas and Sandra took really good care of us. Highly recommend it to others. Costa Rica is beautiful.
5.0
Our stay surpassed ALL of my expectations. The views, the tours, the restaurants, the Costa Rican people...made this a memorable lifetime experience. However, I have to say the management team (Sandra, Klass, Marco) truly showed us first class attention. I am very grateful i had this experience with my family.
5.0
House was just as advertised- beautiful property, had everything we needed, clean and very comfortable. The view was breathtaking. We highly recommend using PMA Bunkitours. Marco was fantastic- he made our trip worry free. So professional and knowledgeable about the area, perfect driver😊- much needed because the roads aren’t marked well, are curvy and the fog in the rainy season can move in quickly making the roads dangerous at times. Thank you Sandra for the itinerary- all excursions were fabulous (Monkey mangrove tour, Paos Volcano and Waterfall Gardens, Bali Hot Springs, Hanging Bridges, and the Ziplining was EPIC!! I mean EPIC- such an adventure just like Marco said it would be). Thank You for the memories and wonderful visit. The Tyler’s

This property is beautiful much more so than the pictures.
We had such an amazing stay. Communication was excellent and stay was enjoyable.
The coffee tour Marco arranged was such a joy.
This is a complete gem of a place to stay and we look forward to returning
5.0
I can't say enough about this property. It's magical. It's beautiful. It's comfortable. Marco met us to check us in promptly and was on call IMMEDIATELY if we ran into any issues during our stay, which were incredibly minimal and due to the weather and unavoidable. We did travel during rain season with storms and lightning, so... But I miss being here so much and I've only been home for 3 days. The views were remarkable. The beds were just right. Goldilocks would be thrilled. Welcome gifts were provided and were an exquisite introduction to a new to us country. Favorite part was having coffee in the mornings, listening to the howler monkeys (who only work on Sunday it seems), the birds, the coatis, the fruit trees on site, just everything was perfect. Can't recommend this place enough :)

I was in Costa Rica for a week with my wife and 14-year old daughter. The house was amazing with beautiful views of the valley below. The pool and hot tub were amazing and the views while swimming or soaking were tremendous. The property is a bit outside of town and we had decided not to rent a car. We worked with the tour company and scheduled tours which included transportation but taxis are pretty inexpensive (about $10/trip one way). Overall a fantastic stay and great property management. It was hard to leave!
5.0
This property was everything we hoped it would be for our honeymoon. The house is incredible with lots of space and a fantastic outdoor area with a great pool and hot tub set up. But the best thing about the property is the view, it will stay with us forever.
The house is also very professionally managed - Sandra, Marco and Klaas were very friendly and were always on hand to help and make our stay incredibly comfortable!

What a beautiful place to stay! Comfortable, clean, and well managed. Close to many attractions.

We stayed in La Frontera house for 2 weeks (just left today) and loved every minute of it.
Beautiful and very comfortable property, very clean, with amazing views (even better than pictured), awesome pool and hot tub-- I highly recommend it to any family or friends get away trips. If you want stress free vacation-- incredible management team went above and beyond, they took care of everything we needed, including transportation and guided tours, they were super nice, we had so much fun! My teens favorite was paragliding and ziplining, my favorite was mangrove monkeys and volcano tours. We loved our stay!
5.0
The most amazing thing about this property is the views. As in the listing pics, the view from the pool area is incredible, but you can even see San Jose from out front. We spent a lot of our down-time sitting out back enjoying the breeze while birdwatching. We even had a pair of toucans visit us one afternoon.
Most everything you'd need is no more than 10 minutes away in Atenas. It's a good central location to reach the outings we wanted to drive to as well. La Fortuna (2.5 hrs), Jaco Beach (1.3 hrs) and La Paz (1.5 hrs).
The property management staff were all very personable and helpful. We met three of them in person.
We would highly recommend this property.
5.0
This place is amazing! The views can’t be beat! The home itself is a little tired and needs some maintenance work. The infinity pool was not working when we were there but the pool and hot tub were great. The property management team is beyond amazing! Marco, Sandra and Klaus were beyond words! Every recommendation they provided far exceeded our expectations. Marco became a fabulous friend on the tours. You can trust anything they recommend to be top notch! We will be back!

The home is everything we expected. The listing is very accurate in description. Sandra and Klass were excellent hosts and extremely helpful with any questions/accommodations!

This is truly one of the prettiest houses we have stayed in. The views are absolutely the best of any house we have stayed in. This was our 2nd stay at Frontera and once again, it did not disappoint!
5.0
2nd time here... This house is amazing. The view is breathtaking. There are some small upkeep things in progress and needing to happen but they didn't effect our enjoyment of the property at all. The property managers and their assistance with tour arrangements is an awesome bonus feature as well. The water pump went out while we were there which was not a pleasant surprise but the management had a handyman out within the hour and got us functional with running water for the evening and total repair done by the next day. We had a wonderful stay... again.
5.0
We just got back from a week at this house.... it is everything you dream it to be. From the easy pick up at the airport to the gas powered jacuzzi and crystal clear pool to the gardens and spectacular view .... this is a house you can get lost living in. The house managers were fabulous getting us food before we arrived and the view omg the view!!! The pictures don't do it justice!! We have memories to last a life time and are already looking at when we can come back. Perfecto!

Loved every minute of our stay at the villa. It had everything we needed and more. The views are spectacular. Location was great as home base for many day trips. Highly recommend booking with Bunki Tours. All their tours were A+++
Sandra was very friendly and always there to help! Hope to go back one day… Thank you!!
5.0
My wife and I spent 10 days here, and it might have been one of our favorite trips ever. Gorgeous house and amazing property, some of the best views around. Like others have said the pictures don’t even do it justice, absolutely stunning. Sandra was a great host and was there to answer any questions we had. Close to Atenas but also only a little over an hour away from the pacific, excellent location. I love to cook and the kitchen was stocked well with everything you need to make a good homemade meal. Couldn’t recommend more, truly represented the motto, pura vida!!
5.0
Exceedingly one of the best experiences we have had vacationing in Costa Rica which we do often! House is perfect size and has a great set up. The view and the weather is spectacular! I would highly recommend this house and property for any length of getaway. Marco and Sandra were extremely helpful providing airport pickup and drop off and took care of all of our other needs (car rental, etc.) in a timely fashion. Pura Vida!!!

Fantastic property with amazing views. Sandra and Marco are wonderful host. Will take great care of you!
5.0
We had an amazing vacation at this house, the whole entire trip was amazing but the house was definitely the best part of the whole trip. Sandra is the most kind person you will meet, she was accommodating & went way over our expectations of a host - thank you for everything you did for us, Marco was an amazing driver & took us everywhere we needed to go plus had amazing recommendations and great conversation. The taxi driver Henry, always made sure we had a ride to town when we needed something & never had long waits for our taxi’s. We Cannot wait to be back in august again! Stay at this property or one of their properties - you will not be disappointed. Thank you again for everything; Pura Vida!
5.0
The pictures do not do this house justice! You walk in the front door you are greeted by the stunning view and feel welcome. The pool, hot tub and luscious grounds add to the opulence.
House manager went above and beyond to help us prepare for our trip - getting us reservations for certain tours, answering a multitude of questions from first-time visitors. I highly recommend taking advantage of their services - we felt thoroughly cared for from the moment I reserved the house.
This was one of the best vacations we’ve ever had - and the house was far better than many we have rented around the world.
We will be back!!!
5.0
This was our second time visiting this property. What a special destination for R & R during these times! Aad, Marion, and Sandra were always receptive to our needs and questions.
Words and pictures can't accurately describe the beauty of sitting on the deck watching the sunset over the rainforest and Pacific Ocean!
The house and casita provided plenty of space for 4 couples. It is in the country but easy to access all the sightseeing you want.
We recommend the Cararra Jungle Tour with Victor, Britt Coffee Tour, Costa Rica Animal rescue Center, and Hanging Bridges Tour in Monteverde.
Iguanas restaurant in Atenas was delightful with a varied menu. (Next door is a lab where you can get your Covid test before returning home. It is more convenient and less expensive than the airport)
We could go on and on. This property is truly a piece of Paradise and Close to Heaven.
Thank you, Miguel, Aad, Marion, and Sandra.

Our family had a wonder stay at this property while exploring Costa Rica. The location made it ideal to experience the culture. We worked with the property managers to book several excursions and they did not disappoint! Thanks for a wonderful experience!
5.0
Absolutely stunning piece of property! Gorgeous house, and the nicest owners and property managers ever! Very easy to communicate to them all, and directions with the Waze app made it super easy to find. Best vacation yet! Can’t wait to come back and experience it all over again.

It's hard to put into words the beauty my eyes soaked in during my stay. The property was immaculate and almost intimidating with it's elegance and sprawl to a single visitor. Beautifully curated art adorned the walls in every room. The open floor plan in the main living space / kitchen gave off grandeur vibrations and was flanked by sleeping quarters on either side. The stunning view of the Pacific Ocean through the mountains and valley below was not just accessible from the pool & outdoor dining area, but every room in the house. I was fortunate enough to catch the most breathtaking sky I've seen in my travels thus far my first evening there. A layered depth of vibrant dream-like colors that looked as if it was painted by the hands of Angels. The property managers are an excellent group of people and helped me immensely during my stay. My procrastinating and spontaneous nature may have caused me more hardship than necessary without their help, and guidance and I am grateful for all of them! Wonderful tours, great conversations, and a lifetime of memories. ¡Pura Vida!

Casa La Frontera del Cielo almost defies description. From the moment we arrived, it was a true vacation. The casa has everything we dreamed of: stunning mountain views, peace and quiet beyond belief, very comfortable indoors, an amazing infinity pool and hot tub (which we took advantage of every day and night!), and property managers/tour guides who made all of our excursions so delightful. It was mindless on our part. No thinking, just relaxing. Thank you for this incredible location and for making our Costa Rican getaway so memorable.

What a wonderful experience! Miguel was extremely helpful throughout the booking process. Aad, Marian and Marco of AMP were extremely helpful with questions about the house, the area and with booking tours and transportation. The house is lovely. So much space and an amazing view! Atenas is a fun little community with friendly locals and plenty of culture to enjoy. I’d highly recommend this stay to anyone!

House was absolutely beautiful. I would
Love to go back. I highly recommend to everyone visiting Costa Rica to stay in the Garcia’s home. Not only are the very welcoming the check in process was very easy too. We went through Aad ans Sandra for our excursions and we were not let down. Recommend booking with them ahead of time to avoid scams and tourgide prices when you are over there, as that was the only set back. Overall though, we had an amazing time! And very thankful for allowing us to rent and also stay an extra night :)
5.0
The property was clean, comfortable and very stylish. The grounds were beautiful, the view from the pool was just breathtaking. I love the morning sunrise because on a clear day you can see the Pacific Ocean. Some of the furniture could stand to be replaced it was a little bit dated and there was only oneTV out of the whole house and the Wi-Fi signals was weak we had a little problem with it initially but the manager was able to get it up and running in no time.

Great!! Location beautiful home with amazing views. Would love to come back as soon as time let’s me.

My partner and I ended up getting a head cold while traveling to Costa Rica and this place literally saved our entire trip! We utilized every single part of the property from picking fruit from the trees to watching thunderstorms outside while feeling like we were in the actual storm cloud. Such a surreal experience and would recommend staying here to anyone!!
5.0
We loved our recent stay at La Casa de Frontera. The home is situated on a peaceful mountaintop with magnificent views, which provided a wonderful backdrop for much-needed relaxation! We didn’t use the pool as the water was quite cold. A heated pool would have been lovely, and is the only thing we felt could have been better. 10 min drive to Atenas, which had all the amenities we needed. Home is gated and we felt very safe. Aad, Marian and Sandra were prompt and helpful in letting us in and checking us out, and giving information we needed. Would definitely recommend and/or come again!
5.0
Amazing property, beautiful views. Your in your own little world. Aad and Marian where great and very helpful. Highly recommended. On a scale of 1-10, I'd give it a 17.
