Host & Concierge
Welcome to Casa ALUEM
Tourism Professional, graduated in Argentina and Costa Rica.
Owner of Prestige Destination Managment Company Costa Rica, an ecosystem of services designed to create memorable travel, investment and celebration experiences in Costa Rica's South Pacific (Uvita, Dominical, Ojochal).
Ana Montesino is the owner
When I arrived to this country back in 2001 the energy of nature captured my life. Besides I was traveling to finish my career in tourism, and face many professional challenges for an area that was starting to show as a destination for this beautiful country, life brought me to the most biological and beautiful place on earth that I now call home. I was born in Argentina, and after living here for many years I became a permanent resident. I am simply in love with this area that is green all year round, and offers more than 10 different beaches, with the mountain ending on the ocean. Just unique!
After all these years working in hospitality and becoming an entrepreneur myself I achieved the dream to have my own house in nature. Casa ALUEM, nestled in the tropical forest, was designed to belong to it and match with the environment. The name ALUEM is an anagram of our family names. This house was designed in detail making a simple and cozy space, fully thought from the use and how you will feel by being there.
I am a new owner opening this special space to those who want to experience nature, beaches, adventures and the "Pura Vida" of Costa Rica.
Why she chose this place
Las Brisas neighborhood in Uvita is where Casa ALUEM is located. A small and well organized community with permanent residents. The gravel road from the Costanera highway to the house is full of lush green of the tropical forest. It follows the course of a creek, which attracts all kinds of wildlife. The house is walking distance from La Colonia entrance of Marino Ballena National Park (5 minutes walk). Easy access, proximity to the beach and to the main highway: a very convenient location in Uvita. The property elevation is enough to enjoy the constant breeze of the creek all day long. That constant breeze gives the neighborhood its name, "The Breezes".
What makes this place special
The house was designed and thought to belong to the tropical forest. You feel you are on the canopy of the trees next door. It is fresh with high ceilings, with the garden a tropical forest and swimming pool in the middle of this magical forest garden. It is how you feel by being here that makes it very special. Cozy, simple, calm and relaxed ambience.
You can enjoy lots of different birds, lizards, and the monkeys coming to the trees of the property and to the creek in front of the house, to name some. You can hike the neighborhood taking the road up the hill with beautiful views, and a great exercise! You can walk to the creek and enjoy peaceful time connecting with nature.
The access from the main Costanera coastal highway is very easy, and the property elevation is good enough to receive the constant breeze of the mountains and creek.
Sunset colors in the sky make every afternoon different, and you can enjoy it from the open terrace or the pool and garden.
