The Luxury retreat with a view. La Toscana D’Atenas experience..

Nestled into a coffee plantation covered mountainside, La Toscana D’Atenas, offers the best of both worlds.  A spectacular villa that is just a short drive to the bustling city of San José and the countries main cultural and commercial center but far enough away to enjoy breathtaking views over the Central Valley, this is a unique Costa Rican boutique hotel at its best.  This is the La Toscana D’Atenas experience;  a luxury retreat with a view and what a view it is. 

The quaint town of Atenas thrived along what was once the fastest route between the Central Valley and the Central Pacific Coast. Nowadays, it is just a short detour from the new, main highway and it as simple as taking a left turn to San Jose or a right turn to the beautiful beaches on the Central Pacific Coast.  As easy as that…

As you enter the Central Valley from the air or the land, the majestic mountains that hug either side always stand out.  The rich soil, volcanic range on the northern side and the steep, impressive Talamanca Range that runs down the middle of the country to the south, frame this bustling convergence of the four largest cities in the country.   Both sides offer spectacular views of the Pacific, the Atlantic and the urban and commercial epicenter of San Jose and its surrounds.   

Thanks to the higher altitudes, the Central Valley dwellers enjoy year-round spring-like temperatures that are perfect for outdoor living and enjoying all the diversity of the vegetation and greenery that abound in beautiful Costa Rica.  

The Central Valley is the country`s main hub where the majority of Costa Ricans live.  The urban landscape has undergone a growth burst over the last fifteen years and it is now dotted with high rise living in buildings and on the sides of these beautiful mountains.

As you move further up the slopes and away from the rush, the pace of life is slower. This means you enjoy the breeze and the amazing birds-eye views that the mountains boast.  Over the years, many people have made their homes or created getaways in the small towns that dot the mountainsides transforming them into close-knit communities. Each town offers its touch of Costa Rican traditions, culture and creativity,  making each one unique in their way.

And this brings us to beautiful Atenas and the amazing La Toscana D’Atenas
