Our house is located in Barrio San Jose Sur, a district of Atenas, located in the western part of the Central Valley, known as the place with the best climate in the world, in the province of Alajuela. It is a rural and quiet area, but with easy access to the center of the community and the capital of Costa Rica, one hour from San José and 40 minutes from Alajuela. One hour from some of the beaches of our country and 1 hour from some of the volcanoes. We have near the square to do sports, swimming pools, supermarkets, cinemas, shops, restaurants.
In our house live my husband (David) and I (Raquel), and our dog "Bruno" a playful beagle.
We have 2 rooms available, one with a single bed and the other with a double bed, a separate bathroom for both. Our house has a spacious and fresh living room and kitchen, we also have a patio full of trees, many of them fruit trees, a beautiful view to the mountains where the cool breeze runs. We live close to my parents and relatives so it is a healthy and safe environment.
We love spending time outdoors and go for a walk on the river or the woods and go for a walk with Bruno. We handle the basic English language.
The main rule of our house is to take care of Bruno who is the most spoiled. You can smoke outside the house and do not litter in the yard. For transportation, it is recommended to arrive at the house before 10pm. In the house there is always food in the refrigerator or in the cupboard, sometimes it must be prepared and most of the time just to heat and eat. We can not make noise after 11pm since we have neighbors nearby.
Temperatures in Atenas range from minimums of 17 ° to 19 ° C in January, to a maximum of 27 ° to 30 ° C in March. The average annual temperature is 25 ° C.
