CONSISTENT 65 t0 75F EVERY DAY!! Sunshine, stunning views. See also the reviews for Casita Vivace (VRBO #991709) and Vista Vivace (VRBO #1201627). PRIVATE WITH LUSH SURROUNDINGS. Our property sits at the end of a quiet country lane on acres of lush semi-tropical landscape with spectacular views of rolling mountains, and the Gulf of Nicoya. This immaculate single-story, 800 sq' apartment is fully furnished and includes outdoor covered 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 main home. The apartment is fully furnished, Starlink wifi, all utilities and private parking are included. We have an indoor solar heated lap pool in the main Hacienda that we share with guests. There are also two large public pools in San Ramon. Our property is located on the outskirts of San Ramon in the quaint area of Magallanes, a mix of Costa Rican and expat residents. The area is quiet, safe and private, yet just 5 minutes to downtown San Ramon. The 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 -- a weekly farmers market, supermarkets, shops, restaurants, bars, museums, as well as major hospital, and a University of Costa Rica campus. We are in a non-touristy area a day trip to many tourist attractions: from the volcanos Poas and Arenal, Manuel Antonio, beaches, canopy tours, sugar cane and coffee plantation tours, hiking and bird-watching. Pickleball friendly with 3 venues within 5 to 10 minutes. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the apartment: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchen -

It's clean, spacious, well equipped, and the hosts are very accommodating. Everything you need is here for a enjoyable Costa Rican vacation. Centrally located so it's easy to get to the popular tourist spots without having to be surrounded by tourists the entire time. We highly recommend Bella Vivace! ##### Nancy G. Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Debra M. 23 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful, comfy space with great hosts Large, clean, and has a wonderful patio (with now mature landscaping and covered patio unlike online photo). Hosts are on-site and very helpful and responsive, with lots of info and recommendations for local resources. We enjoyed watching the birds, butterflies, and other wildlife while relaxing on the patio. Close to San Ramon, a beautiful little city, and perfect weather. Like most places here, bring insect repellent for the midges and mosquitoes (unless you are one of those people who never get bitten). And if using Google Maps to get here, when it says you have arrived, you are actually at the neighbor’s drive, and your destination is the next drive ahead on the left! ##### Debra M.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, and plan to go back! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 10 nights in Jan 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Lillian B., Gatineau, Quebec 2 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### BEST 3 MONTH STAY EVER! Overall I was very satisfied with my stay and with my hosts Nancy and Andy, in San Ramon. The Belle Vivance, one bedroom Casita was very clean, the right size and level of comfort I expected. The gardens were well maintained and absolutely stunning! The sunsets were MAGICAL. Nancy and Andy were very accommodating and hospitable. Would I stay there again? Absolutely! However, I would like to point out a few misleading marketing claims listed: One being, “Pet Friendly”. This place is certainly NOT pet friendly. JAKE, their much older large, male dog, aggressively and continuously attached my small dog RICO, (chihuahua) many times, putting him and myself at risk of being physically harmed. After many failed attempts, of requesting that my hosts secure JAKE on a leash for our SAFETY, finally, they addressed the issue and found a solution. Misleading marketing issue #2\. The advertisement suggested that there was an indoor pool, YES there is, however it’s a LAP pool located inside their home. I did not feel comfortable entering their private home everyday, to swim. This was very disappointing as I expected to continue my exercise routine, while I was there. I felt very mislead Therefore, the pool was never used by any of the guests in the three apartments. Misleading marketing issue #3\. There was absolutely no PRIVACY. I had a beautiful patio, (as advertised, but certainly NOT private). it was the main traffic area for the owner and his workers. ##### Lillian B. Stayed 84 nights in Jan 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Yvonne K., Hapy Valley, Oregon, USA 3 Nov 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location, overall comfortable accommodations The unit interior is identical to what you see in the pictures, though if you like to read a book in the evening, be prepared to be a little inconvenienced. Decent kitchen for basic cooking. The apartment is under the house and around back, and during our stay, workers doing house repairs were coming and going across the patio throughout the day. The outdoor table now has a metal patio cover - a great place to sit and enjoy the rain. Vegetation around the patio is tall obscuring any view, and the plants are wonderful. We recommend taking walks around the property and the area to enjoy the many gorgeous flowers. Close to San Ramon - the single-lane road is generally quiet and we never saw another car on our daily trips out. We recommend shopping at Mas x Menos - better selection of products; prices only slightly higher than Maxi Pali. The only downside, and it was a big one in our case because we like to sit outside, is the hosts' pool heater. It burns wood, not well vented, and the daily smoke chased us off numerous times. It also made doing laundry difficult because it has to be hung outside to dry - in the smoke, unless they are going out that day. If that was repaired and the smoke no longer came over the patio and into the apartment beginning before sunrise, this place could be ideal. Consider one of their other two units if they are available. ##### Yvonne K.
