Beautiful views, self contained and well presented. Lidia and her daughter (and Ellie the dog) are lovely.

The steep slope down was a bit hairy (though Lidia had warned us!) especially parking the car! Just be mindful with small children as the play area is lovely, but the drop is huge!

Location on mountain ridge , very kind, warm, attentive hosts and dog, privacy respected, eco/sustainability oriented, kitchen well equipped, personal touch with arts, crafts and wall paintings. Wind blowing wildly. Cornucopia of fruits (tray) offered every morning .

Access is difficult due to very steep gravel driveway (for a short distance) , 4wd best but not absolutely essential. Wifi was unpredictable.

Lidia and Sofia were very friendly owners, they gave us fresh fruit every morning. The rental was clean and well-equipped and located in a peaceful area The view from the house of the hills was great.

The road down to the rental was a bit steep and narrow. I was a little hesitant to go down at the beginning, but was fine after that, even at night and in the rain. We had a 2-wheel drive compact SUV.

It is a great stay and very near to the center (by car and foot). Sofia is a very nice host, they even brought us fresh fruit in the morning. There is no A/C but Monteverde is pretty chilli with wind so its not nessesairy. The road to the house is a bit steep (4wd is recommended). There is even a cute dog in front of the house, big bonus.

Its just something small, but figuring out the shower with the temperature can be a little tricky.

a lot of room, own kitchen, nice staff, great view

Great facilities and beautiful location. Really easy to check in and out and Sofia was lovely. Has parking on site and a decent kitchen. The roads are fairly good to the property but the final short stretch is fairly steep and on gravel.

Helpful information, snacks, views, colourful decor - everything was great!

Hostesses : Lydia and her daughter Sofia were just so nice. They were very accommodating. They allowed me to check in before 3 pm. As soon as the previous guests checked out , a cleaning lady was cleaning the room and getting it ready for me. Lydia and Sofia also let me stayed ( I needed one hour ) beyond 11:00 am. I wanted to drink coffee and Sofia bought me coffee powder. I needed sugar and she brought it. She was incredible. The location : Finding Lydia’s home is easy . It is the last home on the street. The last few steps to her home can be challenging but they are just a few steps and didn’t bother me at all. The reward is an unobstructed view of the mountains. The place is maybe 15 minutes to town where you can find all kinds of food. The room : I had the smallest room and I was very happy with it. It has an enormous bed , a functional kitchen and a fridge plus a table with 2 chairs. The size is just right for me. WiFi- worked great. Shower- hot water available . You just need to balance the cold water and hot water. The Breakfast : I vaguely knew Lydia and Sofia can provide breakfast. I wasn’t going to have breakfast there. I thought I would buy pastries. The cleaning lady told me the breakfast is very good so I asked Sofia about it. She sent me a menu with 4 choices. Except the omelette which costs 3500 colones ( $6.23 USD ) , the rest are 3000 colones each ( $5.34 USD ). The price is very reasonable and it is what you would pay at a nearby restaurant ( if not more ). I ordered a different breakfast each day. The first morning I reserved a bus to go to Bosque Nuboso Santa Elena at 8:30 am so I preferred to eat early. Lydia delivered the breakfast at 7:15 am and I had plenty of time to eat. The other 2 days I didn’t have anything urgent so I ate at 8:00 am and Sofia delivered the breakfast on time. I have to rave about the breakfasts because they were delicious. I love especially the fruit and there were 3 to 4 varieties every morning.

There is nothing that I didn’t like. I ran out of room to tell you how much I enjoyed the stay. The only thing that I didn’t like was to check out and return to San José.
