Quiet and comfortable place to stay in Monteverde! Easy to grab a bus to the cloud forest or walk to the a couple of coffee shops/restaurants. There's also a waterfall across the street that you can swim in.

It is charming, tucked away in the mountains. Individualized rooms in home. The owner is very helpful with activities, sights to see and places to eat. March was perfect month to visit, the weather felt amazing. Definitely will come back again.

A perfect end to our time in Costa Rica. Driving from Monteverde. The place is tucked up in the hills with views and beautiful scenery woke up in nice sunrise. We were greeted by the host and felt at home.

Tarcisio and his partner are so lovely, and the space is full of light and warmth. We chose the cheapest option of rooms. The walls were thin and our room was small, but our stay was comfortable, and the garden was full of life!

The host was very nice and accommodating and was the best part of the stay. A few things could have made it better such as some lighting near the area as it’s difficult to find the place if you are checking in at night and it’s dark. The area around is very green and is around 12 minutes walk to downtown. He also helped and guided us very well with booking the nearby attractions. The room was okay with wood work, but slightly small. Overall a good stay with a hostel feel.

Our Host Tarsicio and his partner were extremely kind people. We liked the common dining area and shared kitchen all of which were kept very clean. It is an up hill walk to Santa Elena but we really liked the closely restaurants. It was a short walk to Curi cancha park which was awesome. A taxi to Monte Verde costs $7 US. Both parks were truly amazing. Tarsicio also hooked us up with a fantastic bird guide. To improve - screens on the windows so we could leave them open without insects coming in.

Anfitriones ideales

La casa tiene todo lo que necesitas y se encuentra muy bien ubicada, pero lo mejor fueron los consejos del señor Tarsicio, y su amabilidad para responder cada duda que teniamos, he incluso nos ayudo con algunas reservas.

Basic but well located

This was the strangest place we've stayed in our travels around Costa Rica. It's very cheap but the rooms appear unfinished. However the owners are very nice and organised trips for us. It's called a B&B but they don't provide breakfast and they don't clean the rooms. We even struggled to get a pillow for one of the beds as there wasn't one provided. That said, it's really well located for the Monteverde Institute, the Cloud Forest, the amazing Stella's Cafe and the sunset benches. If you just need somewhere to lay your head while you explore then this is just fine.

Very interesting and unique place, very spacious and minimalist, yet comfortable. The owners are lovely, helpful and friendly. I would return. Location is closer to the cloud forest and a few restaurants, not close to town, which worked well for me. I walked to the cloud forest but I enjoy walking. It was @2-3 miles uphill.

Beautiful rooms in a separate house. Very friendly owner Maria was pleasant and helpful. She was always working in the garden and even gave me a hat to wear horseback riding. There’s also a beautiful piano to play in the house. Great location to access the Monteverde parks.

Great place with a great host!

Tarsicio was a wonderful host. He greeted me when I arrived and immediately helped me book some exceptional tours. I am very grateful for his recommendations, because they made my trip to Monte Verde very special. The building is very unique and full of art. There’s a garden outside, and I saw a motmot bird through the window! The location is outside all the noise of Santa Elena and close to a small organic grocery store, as well as cafés and restaurants. It’s also much closer to the Monte Verde cloud Forest than hotels in Santa Elena. The driveway to the parking lot was a little challenging, like the roads in Monteverde; I was glad to have a high clearance vehicle. I would stay here again!

A lovely family run Guesthouse surround by beautiful plants and trees. A short walk to coffee, bakery, restaurants, a small organic market and of course hiking trails. A 20min pleasant walk to town. Very helpful in explaining different experiences you may be interested in and organising shuttles/taxi etc.
