I just spent a week for Thanksgiving at this incredible home. It is even more beautiful in person. The house is equipped with everything you need. The management is quick to respond. The owners checked in while I was there to see if I needed anything. Great home and great hosts.

We spent 4 wonderful days at this magical property. The grounds are lush and beautifully maintained. The kitchen is very well appointed. The attention to detail in design of the home and decor all contribute to the feeling that we were priviledged to share a very special place! Truly one of our most memorable experiences.

Wonderful Family Trip!
Location was a perfect homebase to all the excursions we went to from beach to volcano. Property had all the amenities we needed, space together and separate space for privacy. We took advantage of the amenities offered, chef Aaron and getting a massage from Liz. Leticia the property manager was available and gave of plenty of great information from directions to activities happening in Atenas, and provided us with a wonderful travel agent helping us choose excursions. We were a little disappointed about there not being a hot tub but loved having a pool available after a day of hiking! We loved hanging out on the balcony enjoying the view and animals, except a neighbor's rooster. We had a wonderful time in a beautiful house in a beautiful location!

More Than We Could Have Ever Imagined
Judd/Liz have created a beautiful oasis in Villa Passiflora. Accommodations are exactly as described. The Villa is beautiful and well-appointed with everything needed for a wonderful stay. Not a detail was missed. The grounds are full of surprises with the most beautiful tropical flora. And the view… nothing short of spectacular. As well, take time to spot the wildlife. We saw capuchin monkeys, toucans, iguana, hummingbirds, chacalacas, just to name few. Their house manager, was kind, knowledgeable and available if needed. We’ve never encountered a house manager of this caliber. If you’re considering booking this property, DO IT. You won’t be disappointed and that’s a promise.

I second what the other reviewers all say and could go on and on. Basically, if this beautiful home piques your interest, just book it. It is an absolute dream. The owners, Judd and Liz, and their house manager, Leticia, are so kind, helpful, and responsive. With their communication and blog, it made planning the entire trip so much easier as well. It's a great location to be able to drive to different points in Costa Rica and see the lay of the land. (We visited San Jose, La Fortuna, and Jaco during our stay.) Bliss... perfection... Just book it. When you arrive, you'll be thrilled that you did!

Stunning Costa Rican retreat
For our second week in Costa Rica, we chose this home in Atenas. The photos do not do it justice- it is such a wonderful and relaxing retreat. The private pool and outdoor shower allowed a connection no nature. Hammock and hanging chairs, lush landscaping, toucans…. Just too much to mention. We will return to this special place. Lizz did massages on the breezeway our last day to the sound of rain and the birds. Communication was excellent.

Absolutely Amazing
This home is absolutely amazing. It is immaculant and well kept and the pictures dont do it justice. One of the owners of the home Judd was absolutely amazing recommending things to do, restaurants, and various activities. The property manager Leticia was exceptional as well. We needed for nothing and any question I asked was returned promply with kindess. I highly recommend this property not only for the splendor that it is...in the mountains with some of the most beautiful and picturesque scenery i have ever seen. My family and i will return and will stay in the exact house again. They made one of my dads bucket list items amazing and I will remember that for the rest of my life. Hats off to such amazing people and the kindness that was giving. You should be proud of your beautiful home and your management team. Job well done.

Pure Paradise
We were looking for a week of pure relaxation and that’s exactly what we got! The house is beautiful. We took a couple of day trips (Playa Blanca and the cloud forest), but the highlight of our trip was lounging in the hammock, dipping in the pool and watching the cows walk by at twilight. Great spot if you are looking for a restful escape, or a more local experience. The owners also offer a variety of day trips if you are looking for more adventure!

Absolutely beautiful home that we enjoyed very much. If you are looking for a quiet place to relax..this is it! The roads are quite curvey to get to the beaches if you do not take the toll road. Long car rides to Jaco and San Manuel Antonio National Park. Not too far from SJO airport.

Vacation in Costa Rica
We had an AMAZING time in Costa Rica and Liz and Jud’s home was a highlight. It was exactly as listed. We enjoyed all the spaces and the openness of the home. The landscaping and pool were well kept and we enjoyed both. Leticia, the property manager was very helpful, and was a good resource and did a great job communicating. We enjoyed a home cooked meal prepared by a chef that Leticia recommended and also enjoyed massages at the house. The house is located in a gated community and we felt very safe there. We would recommend the property to anyone.

Dream vacation
I don't really know where to begin in my review of this property. After booking our vacation, I had lots of questions. I reached out to property owners. They were so helpful. No matter how trivial the question, I received a quick response. Owners directed me to Leticia, the housekeeper who assisted me with everything nessasary to insure a wonderful trip. Owners provided assistance with day trip ideas and reached out to make sure we were having a wonderful time. Leticia met us at property upon our arrival to explain everything and any issue that came up. We took advantage of Chef Aaron recommended by Leticia to come to property to cook us a wonderful meal. ( Highly recommend). Leticia was a phone call away to assist. Okay, now the property itself: This is an absolute beautiful property. We enjoyed it so much. We planned a couple days just at house to relax. House is a very open air concept. No air, but it was not missed. House had everything we needed to be comfortable and enjoy our stay. Pool was relaxing and very private. We were there almost two weeks. We enjoyed fresh bananas and tangerines grown on property. House is centrally located in Costa Rica so we were able to go any direction for adventure. Our trip included ATV riding near Jaco. A visit to Manuel Antonio, white river rafting, hiking Arenal Volcano, hanging bridges in La Fortuna, visit to Poas' volcano, Toledo coffee tour. Thank you Judd, Liz and Leticia for a very memorable trip.

Amazing Costa Rican property
My husband and I travel to the Atenas, Costa Rica area every year and have had the opportunity to stay at many properties. This is SUCH a beautiful property. We loved the covered breezeway between the main house and the bedrooms...we spent hours there reading, playing cards, eating...the area is beautiful. The pool had both shade and sun most of the day. I am a sun lover, my husband not so much...this pool was perfect for the both of us! This home had many niches, it would be perfect for a group. Places to spend time together, yet enough places to find solitude. The view from the outdoor eating/grill area is gorgeous. What a picturesque spot to spend an afternoon or have an evening meal. The property is located in a gated community in the very friendly town of Atenas. It felt so very safe and secure. Judd, Liz and their property manager Leticia were wonderful! Fantastic communication, checking in to make sure your stay was going well, the attention to make sure you were comfortable...they are a 10/10 team! The gardener, Darwin, kindly left us mandarins one morning after attending to the property. The whole team is just so kind. We would highly recommend this experience to anyone who is thinking about staying in the area! You will be so very happy that you did!!

Wow!!!
The planning for our family trip began a year ago when I found this stunning property. Liz and Judd were extremely helpful with the planning of our first trip to Costa Rica. They have a beautiful blog that gives you excellent tips, a wonderful property manager Leticia that helps with on site needs and suggestions for other options to add to your vacation like a chef prepared meal and on-site massages-which we did both. Chef Aaron was so accommodating of our dietary needs and Heidi was the sweetest masseuse. Eduardo was our driver for most of the trip and he was perfecto! We also used Coati tours to see Poas and La Paz waterfalls. They did an amazing job coordinating our tour and even helped with a last minute change. The property was beautiful and had everything we needed for an excellent stay. Waking up to the beautiful views and wildlife was everything we wanted and needed from our vacation. Thank you again for everything! Pura Vida!

Pura Vida Paradise
It's all true-the pics are spot on (although we have some amazing night shots). This is a gorgeous slice of paradise. My advice-put down your device and walk around the property. Look up to the mountains before you. The lush green foliage, the grazing cows, birds. Look in front of you-humming birds and butterflies. Below you-a small farm with a rooster-who we grew to love and anticipate. My hubby says things begin at the top. The owners of this gorgeous property have a website that we leaned on planned from. Their property manager, Leticia is a gem! She welcomed us upon arrival. With pride she showed us around. With skill she shared reliable taxi drivers, tour operators, a chef and massage therapist and we took everything in! In 12 days we experienced the Farmers' Market, Paos Volcano,Playa Esterillos, El Toledo Coffee plantation tour, Arenal Volcano, zip lining, Tabacon hot springs, Mystic hanging bridges, the coolest hotel-Lost Iguana,in house massage,in house chef Aaron. We tried local sodas and even watched American football at La Trilla in Atenas. We enjoyed a San Jose walking/food tour. Originally from the East Coast, I don't easily cry. Saying good bye to Eduardo, our driver for most of the trip was emotional with promises (already kept) of keep in touch. Costa Rica is gorgeous. I hope to take away the Pura Vida mindset and focus on the beauty before me. This property and her owners will bless you with that!
