Amazing place! The pool, the views, the amenities, everything was great. Sandra and her husband were very attentive and kind. All questions or requests were answered really fast. Great communicationAtenas is beautiful and the food at the restaurants near by simply delicious.
This is a beautiful property, even better than we'd hoped for. The house is spacious, well laid out, well-equipped and comfortable. The kitchen has every appliance and extra you could want. The view, magnificent. Breathtaking at night. Sandra and Klaas are perfect hosts, absolutely the best. This was our first trip to Costa Rica and, of course, Jewel Villa. We wish we would have found this place 10 years ago.
Wonderful property. Highly recommended. My husband and I stayed with our two adult daughters for a week. The house was spacious, comfortable and beautiful inside and out. Being this high up meant a lovely breeze all the time to offset the heat and made sitting outside even more enjoyable. Hosts Klaas and Sandra were excellent in answering any questions and helped us find some great tours/chef/car rental/restaurants etc. The area is also very safe. Ubers were available to go to town for dinner etc if you don't feel like driving. We would gladly come back here again.
We had an incredible stay at Atenas Mountain Top Villa! The views are stunning and the pool and hot tub were perfect for relaxing. The location couldn’t be better: peaceful, private, and still just a short drive to Atenas.The hosts were fantastic—warm, responsive, and thoughtful in every detail. We truly felt welcomed and cared for throughout our stay.Highly recommend this place for anyone looking to enjoy the best of Costa Rica. We can’t wait to come back!
We started our first ever Costa Rican adventure at Jewel Villa and it was a phenomenal experience. What drew me to this property was the pictures of the house itself and the amazing views/amenities. As amazing as the pictures are, the experience of the property is far greater than what I had expected. It was so peaceful and beautiful up there. My whole family of 5 (including 3 teenagers) felt instant tranquility there. What made this property truly exceptional though, was the property managers, Klaas and Sandra. They were just wonderful. We chose to use many of their services and all were worth every penny. Klaas was a fantastic guide and was lovely company as we explored in Costa Rica for the first time. If Jewel Villa is available, book it. You won't regret it.
Everything was exactly as promised. The view from the property is absolutely stunning, and the property itself is immaculate. The property manager was extremely responsive and made sure everything went very smoothly for a top-notch experience. The property is very close to town and restaurants. I highly recommend this Roca Verde property in Atenas.
Great stay. Beautiful neighborhood and an amazing villa. We loved being up in the clouds!
Everything went amazingly smooth and we were able to totally relax and enjoy ourselves! Great host and great advice on tours!

Dear Jean: We are really happy that you enjoyed the stay in our Atenas home, Costa Rica. We are glad that you enjoyed the property, especially the cleanliness. Jewel villa has been hosting guests almost everyday through the year. The credit of the 5 star review goes to Aad, Marian, Sandra and Marco, who take meticulous care of details in Jewel villa and treat 'our home' as a jewel.
This house was beautiful. The views from the pool and patios were amazing.. you can see for miles and miles. The 3 on suite bedrooms are great and the kitchen was fully stocked with supplies. The gated community added a layer of safety. Sandra was always super helpful with suggestions and helping plan tours and giving advice. Perfect secluded get away
This home is absolutely everything you could wish for in this area near San Jose.
Quiet, incredible views, walking distance to everything you want or need, luxury and a perfect host.. enjoy
Wonderful place and perfect location to explore Central Valley Costa Rica.
Excellent place and location. Loved the view of the Central Valley every morning sitting in the hot tub drinking coffee. Highly recommend it. Sandra was fantastic helping with tours and recommendations and house questions. Perfect holiday location.

Hi Alan: Thanks for the 5 star review. Glad that you enjoyed the Jewel villa experience. We are very happy to hear that Sandra was fantastic. She conveys her warm regards. We are looking forward to your return to Atenas, Costa Rica.
We had an amazing week in Costa Rica. The property is on a mountain side which results in a temperature about 3 or 4 Celsius cooler than in town . There is also a light breeze that helps keep the temperature comfortable. All 3 bedrooms were lovely and spacious and each had their own ensuite. We absolutely loved it!
The property was everything g we expected and more. The views are the big attraction here and are second to none. We would recommend Jewel Villa to anyone looking for a mountain getaway and the conveniences of the town of Atenas which has everything you would need.
My family and I had a great time! The house is very spacious and had everything we need. The view is breathtaking, and we enjoyed it every day. Klaas and his wife Sandra were very attentive and took care of all the details quickly and efficiently from our arrival to our departure. With our tours and everything we needed. They were amazing I would recommend renting a car with Maria from Alamo, she was wonderful. We already miss our days in Costa Rica!!
