Beautiful Bella Vivace with Rolling Mountain and Bay of Nicoya Views

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.

About the host
Hosted by Nancy Sperry and Andy Robinson

Andy and Nancy are a retired married couple from Santa Cruz, California. Andy is a former cabinet designer and Nancy a former Silicon Valley marketing executive. We designed and built the spectacular 5,000 square foot, contemporary Spanish Hacienda Vivace and 1800 square foot Casita over the past 3 years. Our architect fondly refers to it as "Andy and Nancy's art project".
We are active members of the Community Action Alliance (CAA), a non-profit organization of expats and Ticos in greater San Ramón volunteering together for community development and enrichment. We do community outreach projects and fundraising for organizations such as San Ramon scouts/girl guides, local orphanage, children's cancer foundation, local music school instrument donation program, and more. We also host events such as Oktoberfest, Christmas Madrigal, and St. Patrick's Day.

Why they chose this property
After looking at Bali, Thailand, Philippines, Mexico and Panama, we felt that Costa Rica had so much more to offer us. The country is incredibly beautiful, travel is easy, and the people are wonderful. There are many micro climates to suit individual needs and an abundance of things to do. In 1949 the country abolished their army and invested all their money into education and health care and, today, have a well educated, healthy and happy population. Recent surveys show that Costa Ricans are one of the happiest people in the world. Costa Rica has a very low crime rate compared to other countries in Central and South America. They also have a longer life expectancy because of the lifestyle they live - Pura Vida!
The Pacific Highlands where we live is the heartland of Costa Rica with truly awe-inspiring coastal and mountain views, stunning sunsets, year-around weather in the seventies, historic culture, and wonderfully warm people. And San Ramón is the ideal central location for us to easily go to the airport, beaches, volcanoes, rainforests, and hot springs as well as cultural attractions like San Jose's Little Theater Group and the infamous Teatro Nacional.

What makes this property unique
Hacienda Vivace will give you the chance to experience the real Costa Rica and ‘Pura Vida’ lifestyle, while enjoying the modern luxuries of a beautiful North American style home. We're located at the end of a private country lane on a working plantation that overlooks the Bay of Nicoya. You can bask in the early morning sunshine with your coffee on the back patio, contently sit and enjoy the view in the hanging basket chairs on the front porch, and enjoy evening cocktails and sunset on the upper balcony.
Pick up fresh fruit and vegetables at the weekly outdoor market in historic San Ramon just 5 minutes away, drive to one of the local waterfalls and splash in the pools, visit an orchid garden or sugar cane factory, or launch a day of site seeing to volcanoes, the beaches, zoo, animal rescue center, one of many hot springs, canopy tour, or an evening at Teatro Nacional for symphony or ballet.
Another unique benefit to staying at Hacienda Vivace is the food! We serve a hearty breakfast upon request, and If you are interested in experiencing local cuisine without leaving your patio, you can take advantage of the Hacienda’s private chef.
