My daughter and I traveled to Costa Rica and stayed at Casa de Valencia for a month. It was a vacation that neither of us will ever forget. The house was beautiful with its bright, happy colors and its modern conveniences. The kitchen was stocked with spices and pots and lovely dishes. And the air conditioning, when needed worked great! The barbecue outside was an extra perk! In a country where Martha Stewart has not yet been discovered , this house was decorated beautifully and smartly and was also immaculate.
Outside the house there were beautiful flowers, trees and a pool. Just across the street was a little path to the beach. While I live on the beach in Marina del Rey, there is no comparison. Also across the street was a wonderful woman who teaches yoga and right up the street was a 4 star hotel. You could have privacy if you wanted it or be with people when you wanted that too. There were horses up the road and often monkeys calling to us.
During the month we learned to live like the locals. We walked into town to grocery shop and to visit our new found friends who worked on the fishing boats, sold goods on the street and in the local stores.
Every day brought another adventure as we discovered hiking paths, watched soccer players on the beach or explored a neighboring town by foot.
Tamarindo and Casa de Valencia will live in our hearts forever...and if you are ever there, please tell Columbia at Pedro's Pescadero that Prissi says "hello".
