9/10 Wonderful! (1,001 reviews)
"Conveniently located within the town but secluded enough that it was always peaceful like a good hideaway. The breakfast was great and the all day tea and afternoon popcorn was a delight. I appreciated that guests were able to use the kitchen and designated fridge. The deck area where you could lounge ..."

Perfect Stay in Monteverde!
"Perfect place in Monteverde. Rooms are large, beds are comfortable and clean, parking is right in front and it’s a 3 minute walk to most restaurants and stores. Staff were very friendly and easy going. Very minor thing but you can sometimes hear road noise - but all solved with some ear plugs!"
