"We stayed at the Spanish school. Beautiful buildings and amazing gardens. Great restaurants and bars within easy walking distance. They organised a taxi to take us and pick us up from the night tour we’d booked at Monteverde. Would definitely recommend staying here."

Cloud Forest Lodge
10/10 Excellent
"This is a quiet and relaxing place to connect with nature. The resort is located in the Cloud Forest and offers several trails for hiking and a Canopy Zipline on property. The staff is extremely accommodating and the food is excellent. "
"We loved our stay at your spacious little apartment. The room was perfect and the plants and trees there were beautiful. Our host, Arelys, was very knowledgeable and helpful in planning our outings. Her experienced husband took us on a night walk in the cloud forest and taught us a lot about the local flora and fauna. It was very educational and a lot of fun. Pura Vida! "
"Not the fanciest place (but Monteverde isn’t about fancy), but the place with the most character of all our stays in CR. Friendly staff, family environment, and very communal dining areas conducive to meeting other travellers."
"This place is so welcoming, comfortable, and accommodating. I had the best vacation I’ve had in a decade. Ulysses was amazing and helping me find things to do and relax with my pet. I will definitely be back. This is my go to place in Monteverde! I live in Costa Rica and highly recommend"
"The domes were a total once-in-a-lifetime kind of stay! Ours was impeccably decorated, with all kinds of nice amenities and a beautiful view. We saw a family of coatamundi right outside! Jose also connected us with some local tours and was very responsive.
To know: the road is unmarked and the water is solar-heated, so you'll want to time your showers (or outdoor bath!) for maximum heat. All- or four-wheel-drive is also helpful for getting up there - if you're struggling coming from town, going past the turn-off and turning around gives you a muuuch easier angle. "
"We had a fantastic 10 day stay at Casa Mia Suite and there is no better location to enjoy the wonders of the cloud forest while resting, relaxing, hiking the trails around the property, and making wonderful memories!!! We drove through a crazy thunderstorm to reach Monteverde and were welcomed by the gorgeous oasis surrounding Casa Mia. If you enjoy being lulled to sleep by rain in a supremely comfortable bed and waking each morning to the beauty of the cloud forest outside the floor to ceiling windows, we absolutely recommend this amazing property! The son of the hosts was wonderful in providing onsite support when we had questions about the Monteverde area, which was greatly appreciated. We have stayed in VRBO homes throughout the US and abroad and Casa Mia is definitely in the exceptional category! We would highly recommend choosing this fabulous location if you are looking for an oasis with all the comforts of home nested in the gorgeous cloud forest of Monteverde. Pura Vida!"
House immerse in the forest+ infinity pool and luxurious experience.
10/10 Excellent
"My family of 4 had such an incredible time hanging out in the heated pool at the home with the spectacular views overlooking the Monteverde Cloud Forest, that it was tough to find inspiration to leave the property to go do other things. The house is beautiful and well equipped with everything you might need. Also pretty rare to find a two bedroom with two king sized beds. The beds are extremely comfortable and we slept soundly. There are automated black out shades too. My sons enjoyed laying in the second story hammock as well. From the infinity pool we saw two Capybaras pass through the yard, tons of birds (many hummingbirds). The downtown of Monteverde which has all kinds of neat shops and wonderful restaurants is 2-3 minutes from the house as well. You could probably even walk to it, although we drove each time. The owner maintained great communication before, during and after the stay. I would 100% recommend this home to anyone."
