MONTEVERDE - Comfy, well-equipped Cottage in woods with view!

Lovely view and very hot water in sinks and shower. In CR this isn't always available.

I gave 4 not 5 because it is a bit rustic. Clean but everything is a bit old. So some may not like this? But I loved it. A huge space, too big for my husband and I. 3 bedrooms plus an upstairs with more cots so a huge party could stay here. But this allowed me to get up early and do my own thing without bothering my husband. There was a laundry, we did not use and a full kitchen. No shampoo etc. but there was soap, so bring your own. Off the beaten path so the crazy traffic of downtown is unheard. Very quiet and lovely. There is a view south toward the south which is very pretty. The bed was perfect, the one we chose. I am very picky so was happy to get a good one! I like firm but soft on top. You can walk to town of Santa Elena, 40 min, though you do have to be careful as there is not a sidewalk for certain sections and the roads are narrow. It is very close, 25 min drive from both cloud forests and the other tourist places (zip lining etc). The town itself has many things a town should, grocery stores, sports shop, book store, clothing and , of course, a lot of food. The best place we ate was the Orchid Cafe. It is a mix of what I call Californian and Costa rican food: vegetarian options and vegetables galore along with the regular choices of chicken/beef etc.

Nestled in the mountains, beautiful location. Private cabin with everything you need. Does not have A/C or heat, but found that it wasn't need... though a fan for air flow would have been perfect.

Very hard to find. Some kind of sign would help. Drive way was 4 WD ONLY ( didn’t know that) House has no heat, rainy season is extremely moist, so everything was slightly wet. It’s the jungle so yes , cockroaches were present. Reception was sketchy, cleanliness was sketchy, but if your wanting a true isolated experience with a wonderful view and don’t mind all the above, this place is for you
