Casa Alegre San Mateo

Mountaintop Luxury Villa w/ Infinity Pool & Pacific Sunset Views.

Relax in the quiet and comfort of Casa Alegre, a private mountaintop estate with an infinity pool and jaw-dropping, 180-degree views. Enjoy Pacific sunsets, the daily play of clouds across the mountains, and the twinkling lights of the quaint towns of San Mateo and Orotina below. Open the screened teak doors around the pool to bring the outside in. The only sounds are the rustle of leaves in the breeze and the calls of tropical birds. Casa Alegre is an ideal short- and long-term retreat for couples and families seeking privacy, space, comfort, and unforgettable shared moments.

Three en-suite bedrooms with built-in closets, 5.5 bathrooms, and two living rooms (one on each floor), plus a work desk in each room and high-speed internet, ensure everyone enjoys as much spaciousness and privacy as they want. Thanks to the home’s 2,100-foot elevation, refreshing mountain breezes, and ceiling fans throughout, the home stays naturally cool without air conditioning.

Enter Casa Alegre through the hand-carved cedar pivot door to find a chef’s kitchen with quartz countertops, a custom dining table for eight, and high-end appliances. Several outdoor seating areas make entertaining, dining, and relaxing a delight.

They are available before and throughout your stay to ensure a seamless experience and can assist with rental cars, airport transfers (for a small fee), grocery pre-stocking, private chefs, in-home massages, and customized private tours. Explore Costa Rica with ease—zip-line through the jungle, visit volcanoes, tour wildlife parks, kayak rivers, spot monkeys on a river cruise, or sail the Pacific on a private catamaran.

Casa Alegre is ideally situated one hour from San José Airport and 50 minutes from the Pacific and Jacó Beach.
