About this property

A private six-bedroom mountain retreat villa near Pilas, with two cabinas, a solar-heated infinity pool and a yoga deck overlooking Costa Rica's Central Valley.

Casa Cerro Verde accommodates up to 16 guests across a four-bedroom main house and two private studio cabinas. The whole-property stay includes the main house, both cabinas, the pool and the gardens. Each main-house bedroom has its own full bathroom, with another half bathroom off the living room; each cabina also has a full bathroom. The outdoor yoga deck has mats, meditation cushions, bolsters, blocks, blankets and straps. A solar-heated infinity pool has a hydro-massage bench and in-pool loungers. Sunset patios, gardens and indoor gathering space with a fireplace offer places for group practice or relaxation. The host describes Central Valley lights at night and views across Alajuela, San Jose and Heredia toward Irazu Volcano to the east, with the Nicoya Peninsula and Pacific to the west visible on clear days. The villa suits family getaways, wellness retreats, workshops, team offsites and small family celebrations. Small daytime gatherings require advance approval. Groups can run their own programme or arrange support such as a private chef, dietary requirements, airport transfers, an on-site coordinator, massage, yoga or meditation and local excursions. These services require arrangement and are not described as automatically included. The quiet hillside setting is just outside Pilas in coffee country, with a gated entrance and on-site parking. The host describes SJO airport as about 25 minutes away, downtown San Jose as 45 to 60 minutes, and the nearest beaches as around 75 minutes. These are approximate source estimates, not guaranteed travel times.
