A very special place awaits the traveler in search for the perfect destination to experience the beauty of Costa Rica. At Vista del Valle, our goal is to create a worry-free haven of quiet and natural beauty for our guests. Guests may explore acres of tropical botanical gardens, working coffee and orange plantations, observe exotic birds, butterflies, and other natural wonders. Just short 20 minutes west of the international airport with spectacular views of the central valley it is the perfect place to start and finish your Costa Rican vacation.

Accommodations

The exquisite cottages inspired on Japanese design have all of the amenities of home in very private and beautiful settings. Trails lead through the gardens, plantation and down to our own 300 foot waterfall. Bird watching, hiking, horseback riding, doing laps in our mosaic tiled pool, soaking in the Jacuzzi, or hammock time are just some of the favorite activities here.

Dining

We start off the day with breakfast on the patio overlooking the pool and gardens. Breakfast is delightful with fresh hand squeezed orange juice (from our plantation), fresh tropical fruit, Costa Rican Coffee, and our chef's "inspiration" of the morning. Reservations may be made to have an evening meal on our upstairs glass ceiling veranda that overlooks the central valley and the surrounding mountains. Dinners are a treat as our chef creates a Nuevo Cuisine with a "Tico touch".

Location

Vista del Valle is located in the heart of the central valley's most beautiful and productive coffee and orange growing region. Mangoes, bananas, passion fruit and other tropical fruits abound in the property. About one kilometer from the Inter American Highway, Vista del Valle sits on the edge of the dramatic Rio Grande Canyon at about 2700 foot elevation in the middle of a lush plantation. The views of the valley and the surrounding mountains are stunning. For those who want to discover the essence of Costa Rica and explore its many secrets, Vista del Valle becomes part of the adventure. From the time we pick you up at the airport, we can tend to virtually every need. Planning a side trip? Need a guide for a day trip? We're here to help. Within short driving distances there are several quaint villages, artisan centers, several national parks, volcanoes and other favorite eco-tourism destinations. Either coast can be reached in about 90 minutes and we are 20 minutes from the airport. For guests that want to explore the capitol city of San Jose it is just 40 kilometers away (about 27 miles).
