"Amazing place to stay in Monteverde! Very comfortable rooms and our porch had a view into a wooded spot where several different birds greeted us everyday. The walking trail on the property is a great place to see additional birds. We saw motmots, trogons, and several different kinds of hummingbirds. The breakfast is also excellent and filling to start your day. They also offer complimentary coffee in the afternoon. Emmanuel was a great host and help us change a booking for us. I highly recommend...

"This B&B in Santa Elena is amazing! The rooms look like little
luxury
Lodges, very new and extremely clean. The location is great, walking distance to restaurants, bars and shops. Parking is free in a secured lot across the street. The staff is really friendly and helpful (i.e. with booking night walks etc) and the breakfast is good as well. The seating area has a nice view avross the town. I would definitely come back and was sad that I only stayed one night. "
