Located in Monteverde Costa Rica, 1.9 km from Treetopia Park and 4.1 km from Selvatura Adventure Park, Nature house features a restaurant and mountain views.

The cabin was a great size, beautiful windows. Close to the nature, peaceful. The host was really nice and helpful and speaks excellent English. Best pizzas! Also good breakfast options, tried them all and loved all the fruits. Plus points for the curious coati and humming birds. There were not too many bugs inside, so no problems with that.

Such a nice place to stay, afar from the city and with an amazing view. We really enjoyed spending 2 days there, watching the sunset and relaxing on the terrasse. It was perfect!

La Tigra Mountain House, a property with a garden, is located in San Gerardo, 31 km from Kalambu Hot Springs, 47 km from Mistico Arenal Hanging Bridges Park, as well as 48 km from Sky Adventures...

I travel a lot and spend a long time away from home, so cleanliness, comfort, and beauty around me are very important. I found all of this at La Tigra Mountain House. The beds are wide, the mattresses are comfortable. The hostess of the house is very attentive and caring. And I would like to highlight the view separately. It's fantastic!!! The Platanar and Porvenir volcanoes are visible as if in the palm of your hand. Sunrises, clouds running at eye level, and hovering birds attract and compel you to stop and enjoy life. In the morning, I tried to exercise, but it smoothly transitioned into meditation... As they say, it's better to see once than hear a hundred times!! Come and see for yourself. I recommend it...

Offering a garden and garden view, Casa Alquimia is located in Monteverde Costa Rica, 5.3 km from Treetopia Park and 7.4 km from Selvatura Adventure Park.

This is a small casa on the edge of Santa Elena and it was in a brilliant location. We could easily walk to Curi Cancha reserve and the bus to the Monteverde cloud forest (700 colones single) departed from the main road at the end of the drive at 6.20am - important to catch the early bus if you don’t have pre booked tickets. There are coffee shops and restaurants within a 5-10 min walk. There’s also a small organic food shop just up the road. The owners were really friendly and helpful. They spent a lot of time with us on arrival answering questions and suggesting places to go in the area. The bus station is a 30 minute walk / 5 min taxi ride away. Large communal space downstairs with a basic kitchen and plentiful seating. There’s also a sunny terrace upstairs with outdoor seats provided.

    This is a fantastic bungalow that offers great views of volcano Arenal and the lake. The location is great as it is outside of a quiet village and very tranquil. The bungalow is large and conveniently furnished. The owners are very friendly. We enjoyed the daily breakfast on the big terrace of the restaurant. There are several breakfast options and the Costa Rican breakfast was sensational. We would definitely book this place again. There are small shops and restaurants in the surrounding area.

    The setting is wonderful and all the better for being at the far end of a bumpy track! The ambience is great. The staff at the Nepenthe were very helpful. The Phoenix restaurant is great too. Juan, the maitre d', was charming and so so helpful; played a large part in sorting out a badly mozzie eaten foot by providing flasks of mango leaf infused hot water in which I soaked my foot. And, hey, the food is great as well!
