Beautiful Bella Vivace with Rolling Mountain and Bay of Nicoya Views

THE PERFECT "WINTER" IN COSTA RICA! CONSISTENT 75F-80F DEGREES EVERY DAY!! Sunshine, stunning views, private chef option. See also the reviews for Casita Vivace (VRBO #991709) and Vista Vivace (VRBO #1201627).

PRIVATE WITH LUSH SURROUNDINGS. Bella Vivace sits at the end of a quiet country lane on 5 private acres of lush gardens and semi-tropical landscape with spectacular views of rolling mountains, coffee plantations and Pacific Ocean's Bay of Nicoya. This immaculate single-story, 800 sq' custom-designed apartment is fully furnished and includes outdoor patio, living room, full kitchen with dining bar, ground floor queen bedroom, full bathroom, laundry and private parking.

This beautiful apartment is part of Hacienda Vivace, a spectacular, newly completed contemporary Spanish main home. The separate apartment is fully furnished and all utilities, internet and private parking are included. Breakfast is offered upon request at an additional cost.

Hacienda's Bella Vivace is located on the outskirts of San Ramon in the quaint, high-end area of Magallanes, a mix of Costa Rican and expat residents. The area is quiet, safe and private, yet 5 minutes to downtown San Ramon. The entire Hacienda is a working coffee plantation with dramatic white coffee flowers in May and cherry red coffee berries in November through January. The Hacienda gardens are tended with care by the owners and provide an ambiance of beauty and tranquility.

San Ramon is a 'muy tranquilo' provincial town of 20,000 that welcomes travelers with a graceful sense of pride and slow pace of life. The town offers it all -- from outdoor markets, supermarkets and shops, to restaurants and bars, 3-cinema theater, museums and art studios, a major hospital, and the University of Costa Rica.

Bella Vivace is within minutes of most tourist attractions: from the volcanoes Poas and Arenal to Manuel Antonio Biological Reserve on the Pacific, pristine swimming beaches, sailing day trips, canopy tours, sugar cane and coffee plantation tours, horseback riding, or hiking and bird-watching in the National Parks.

BEST 3 MONTH STAY EVER!
Overall I was very satisfied with my stay and with my hosts Nancy and Andy, in San Ramon. The Belle Vivance, one bedroom Casita was very clean, the right size and level of comfort I expected. The gardens were well maintained and absolutely stunning! The sunsets were MAGICAL. Nancy and Andy were very accommodating and hospitable. Would I stay there again? Absolutely! However, I would like to point out a few misleading marketing claims listed: One being, “Pet Friendly”. This place is certainly NOT pet friendly. JAKE, their much older large, male dog, aggressively and continuously attached my small dog RICO, (chihuahua) many times, putting him and myself at risk of being physically harmed. After many failed attempts, of requesting that my hosts secure JAKE on a leash for our SAFETY, finally, they addressed the issue and found a solution. Misleading marketing issue #2. The advertisement suggested that there was an indoor pool, YES there is, however it’s a LAP pool located inside their home. I did not feel comfortable entering their private home everyday, to swim. This was very disappointing as I expected to continue my exercise routine, while I was there. I felt very mislead Therefore, the pool was never used by any of the guests in the three apartments. Misleading marketing issue #3. There was absolutely no PRIVACY. I had a beautiful patio, (as advertised, but certainly NOT private). it was the main traffic area for the owner and his workers.

Great location, overall comfortable accommodations
The unit interior is identical to what you see in the pictures, though if you like to read a book in the evening, be prepared to be a little inconvenienced. Decent kitchen for basic cooking. The apartment is under the house and around back, and during our stay, workers doing house repairs were coming and going across the patio throughout the day. The outdoor table now has a metal patio cover - a great place to sit and enjoy the rain. Vegetation around the patio is tall obscuring any view, and the plants are wonderful. We recommend taking walks around the property and the area to enjoy the many gorgeous flowers. Close to San Ramon - the single-lane road is generally quiet and we never saw another car on our daily trips out. We recommend shopping at Mas x Menos - better selection of products; prices only slightly higher than Maxi Pali. The only downside, and it was a big one in our case because we like to sit outside, is the hosts' pool heater. It burns wood, not well vented, and the daily smoke chased us off numerous times. It also made doing laundry difficult because it has to be hung outside to dry - in the smoke, unless they are going out that day. If that was repaired and the smoke no longer came over the patio and into the apartment beginning before sunrise, this place could be ideal. Consider one of their other two units if they are available.
