This is a stunning house overlooking San Jose. The view at night of the lights of San Jose was amazing. Up in the mountain the stars were so bright. . There is a powerful telescope set up that we enjoyed looking into San Jose. Lance is the perfect host. From Fort Worth he arranged for a friend of his to pick us up at the airport and guide us to his house - and this was on Christmas day. When we got to the house Carlos gave us a tour showing us the amenities and talking to us about Costa Rica. The house is huge, new and has an awesome master bedroom, bath and kitchen. There were enough bedrooms that each of our three kids got their own room and each room had a private bathroom. The grounds are landscaped and beautiful. Gifts of wine and coffee were in the gourmet kitchen. Costa Rica coffee is so good, but the best coffee was from the beans grown and roasted by friends of the Carlos and Lance. During the week Carlos arranged for friends to pick us up and take us to the Ram Luna - a restaurant about a mile away that offered copious amounts of local food that was absolutely delicious. The grounds are gated and maintained by a local family that live in a building on the grounds. Jose and his wife were pleasant and helpful and for a ridiculously small fee would provide cleaning service. Living in the mountains for a week was such a good experience for our family rather than staying on the coast with its United States hotels and neighborhoods. I highly recommend this house and the hospitality of Lance, Carlos and Jose!
