Casa Alegre

“Mountaintop Luxury Villa w/ Infinity Pool & Pacific Sunset Views.”

Relax in the quiet and comfort of Casa Alegre, a private mountaintop estate with an infinity
pool and jaw-dropping, 180-degree views. Enjoy Pacific sunsets, the daily play of clouds
across the mountains, and the twinkling lights of the quaint towns of San Mateo and Orotina
below. Open the screened teak doors around the pool to bring the outside in. The only
sounds are the rustle of leaves in the breeze and the calls of tropical birds. Casa Alegre is an
ideal short- and long-term retreat for couples and families seeking privacy, space, comfort,
and unforgettable shared moments.

Three en-suite bedrooms with built-in closets, 5.5 bathrooms, and two living rooms (one on
each floor), plus a work desk in each room and high-speed internet, ensure everyone enjoys
as much spaciousness and privacy as they want. Thanks to the home’s 2,100-foot elevation,
refreshing mountain breezes, and ceiling fans throughout, the home stays naturally cool
without air conditioning.

Enter Casa Alegre through the hand-carved cedar pivot door to find a chef’s kitchen with
quartz countertops, a custom dining table for eight, and high-end appliances. Several
outdoor seating areas make entertaining, dining, and relaxing a delight.

Our attentive property managers, Sandra and Klaas, are fluent in English, Spanish, Dutch,
and German. They are available before and throughout your stay to ensure a seamless
experience and can assist with rental cars, airport transfers (for a small fee), grocery pre-
stocking, private chefs, in-home massages, and customized private tours. Explore Costa Rica
with ease—zip-line through the jungle, visit volcanoes, tour wildlife parks, kayak rivers, spot
monkeys on a river cruise, or sail the Pacific on a private catamaran.

Casa Alegre is ideally situated one hour from San José Airport and 50 minutes from the
Pacific and Jacó Beach. At 2,100 feet above sea level, the mountain breezes and altitude
mean you can escape the mosquitoes and high humidity found in the country’s lower
altitudes. The year-round temperatures range from 75–85 during the day, dropping to the
comfortable mid-60s at night.

The property has a private gated entrance, washer/dryer, four-car garage, and ample
parking for your comfort. The town of Orotina, “the Fruit Capital of Costa Rica,” is a ten-
minute drive away, offering all the essentials you may need. There are several excellent
restaurants within a 15-minute drive, and many more in the town of Atenas, 25 minutes
away.

The owners of this newly renovated home have provided “all the features we’ve looked for
in rentals,” including good chef’s knives, cooking utensils and serveware, high thread-count
cotton sheets, and down pillows and comforters. They hope you enjoy Casa Alegre as much
as they do!
