Costa Rica is considered one of the most beautiful countries on earth. In addition to its diverse tropical landscapes, incredible biodiversity, and pleasant climate, Costa Rica is also valued for its friendly, pleasant, and relaxed people, who have made “la pura vida” – “pure life” – their motto and enjoy a simple and authentic life without pressure or stress. Costa Rica's biodiversity is world-leading: on only 0.03% of the Earth's land mass, the country is home to about 5% of the world's biodiversity. About ¼ of the country is national parks. Almost 100% of electricity is generated without fossil fuels. According to international rankings, the healthcare system is ranked 8th in the world (compared to Germany: 12th). According to the Global Retirement Index ranking by the US magazine International Living, Costa Rica has been one of the top 3 countries for retirees to emigrate to for years. Costa Rica has about 6-7 different climate zones. The Nicoca Peninsula and many other parts of the country have distinct rainy and dry seasons. Temperatures during the rainy season are on average a few degrees cooler than during the dry season. In principle, travel is possible and recommended throughout the year, but it is less advisable at the end of the rainy season, i.e. October/November, as very heavy and prolonged downpours are possible during this period. Unfortunately, roads away from the main highways are not always in good condition, especially after the end of the rainy season. It is therefore advisable to rent a four-wheel drive vehicle if you want to drive safely on rural side roads. Costa Rica can be reached by direct flight from many countries, e.g., Germany, Switzerland, the USA, etc. A return or onward ticket is required for entry.
The vacation home is located right next to our eco-farm (for more information, see: "Finca Linda Vista") on the edge of a small village in the mountains of Costa Rica on the Nicoya Peninsula, in the heart of the so-called blue zone. At an elevation of about 700 m, temperatures ranges from about 18 to 31 degrees year-round. Neither a heater, air conditioner, nor fan is required.
The holiday home is approximately 60 square meters in size, plus a veranda (approximately 20 square meters). It consists of a kitchen-living room, 3 bedrooms, 5 sleeping places and a bathroom. The house is also suitable for a longer stay.
Furnishings and equipment: a comfortable sofa, a large dining table with two benches, kitchen with stove, oven, and good kitchen equipment, sink with hot water, refrigerator/freezer, some mosquito screens, bathroom with shower and hot water, veranda with table and 5 chairs.
Guests have the option to use the parking lot directly in front of or next to the house. The loading and unloading of luggage is therefore easy and effortless for guests. As a result, the house is usually suitable for the sick and the disabled. However, we ask that you make a specific request if needed.
Additionally, there is a spacious carport. The entire property can be used, for example, for children to play.
There are no grocery stores in Altos del Socorro, only a small pulperia (shop) selling drinks and other small items. The last shopping opportunity coming from Nicoya is in Hojancha (approx. 30 min. drive from the accommodation): there are several small supermarkets, butchers, and bakeries, a pizzeria, several restaurants, a bar, a bank, a post office, hairdressers, a stationery store, a cobbler, hardware stores, a park with a playground, and, if needed, a small hospital, a pharmacy, and a dentist.
It is possible to enjoy a typical Costa Rican breakfast in a cozy atmosphere in the immediate vicinity. However, advance booking is required at least the evening before. On request, a short guided tour of the orchard with a viewpoint is also offered (Mr. Braulio, tel. +506 8861-5960).
