Birders' Paradise: Modern Family Retreat in Central Monteverde, w a Nice Balcony

Discover Monteverde's Heart: A Serene Retreat with Wildlife Balcony

Unwind and immerse yourself in the beauty of Monteverde at our centrally located apartment. Whether you seek relaxation or captivating sights, our cozy retreat offers the perfect setting. Savor a cup of coffee on the balcony while observing local wildlife or indulge in a morning stretch on a yoga mat. Ideal for friends, couples, and small families, our accommodation is just 3 km from the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve and within walking distance of Curicancha, Bajo Del Tigre, and Crandell Reserves. Restaurants, grocery stores, and coffee shops are mere steps away, ensuring convenience and ease.

The apartment features two separate bedrooms with comfortable queen and full beds. Enjoy hot water on demand in the bathroom and kitchen. The highlight is the delightful terrace just off the kitchen, offering a scenic view of Monteverde's central area. Take a seat, relax, and witness stunning sunsets amidst sightings of birds and occasional monkeys.

Feel free to explore our yard and witness the flourishing plant life, including our Monteverde Coffee field. Additionally, we are a short walk from the Crandell Reserve, which offers free entry (we can provide directions), as well as the Curicancha and Bajo del Tigre- Children's Eternal Rainforest, both of which offer captivating night tours.

Nature preservation is a core value for us. Over the past 5 years, we have diligently planted over 500 native trees and plants on our property, contributing to reforestation and landscape preservation. Furthermore, a portion of our proceeds is donated to local conservation efforts through CorClima.

For your convenience, we provide a comprehensive house manual that includes WiFi codes. Enjoy the high-speed fiber optic cable at 100 Mgb for seamless connectivity.

Please note that being nestled in the forest, it is possible for small insects to make their way inside. Rest assured, they pose no danger. In fact, they play a vital role in sustaining the ecosystem by nourishing birds, frogs, and other wildlife, as well as supporting our own food sources.

Rest easy knowing that we take extra precautions to ensure a clean and sanitized environment, meticulously cleaning frequently touched surfaces between reservations.

We are delighted to assist you in booking tours and guiding you to the best Monteverde experiences. Whether you prefer a hands-on approach or simply wish to be handed the keys upon arrival and bid farewell at checkout, we are here to accommodate your preferences.

Great rainforest location
This property was as advertised. The owners were very helpful and available. Cute, comfortable apartment with a great deck for birding. The grounds were a bit wild but it suited the environment. Walking distance to a little grocery store and restaurants. The forest reserve which was accessible by trails from the property was a bonus.

Monkeying around in Monteverde
We enjoyed our stay. The condo was clean and we enjoyed sitting on the deck watching the birds and monkeys in the tree. The only down time was that we had the middle condo and the noise from the upper unit was very annoying at times.

Great stay in Monteverde
We had a very nice stay in this property. Just two minute walk to Stella’s which had excellent food. Place was clean and comfortable. It’s very dark there at night so do take flashlights. There is a magnificent tree in the back where you can see birds on a daily basis.

Checking out the Cloud Forest
This was a good location, central to the areas we wanted to visit. Lots of birds and other wildlife seen from the deck. Groceries and restaurants close by. The roads are not for beginners.

Great Monteverde Location
We loved the location. Stella's is fantastic for breakfast and the coop is great for a quick lunch and souvenir shopping, both a short walk down the hill from the property. The short road to the property is small and easy to miss, but is right next to Stella's. The cloud forest preserve is a short drive away, though there are other reserves very close to the location plus a waterfall. The property itself was nice, and we loved being able to open the large windows in the morning before heading out. The only downside is that we didn't stay longer to enjoy the area!

About the host

Hosted by Jorge Torres

Host profile image
I am native to Monteverde and have lived most of my life in the area. I am a Naturalist guide (inquire about tours), biologist who has worked extensively in education/conservation. My wife is originally from Morocco, speaks 4 languages (English, French, Spanish, Luxembourguish) works in bringing solar to nonprofits and public health. We have a young boy that keeps us busy and happy.

We love to hear about where our guests come from and what brings them here. We hope you will enjoy your stay with us.

Why they chose this property

When you stay with us, you are helping support a local family with deep ties to the community. We take great care to keep our place clean and hope our guests are comfortable in the time they spend indoors. The apartment has two separate bedrooms, both with full beds. The bathroom offers hot water shower, low-flow toilet, and washer and dryer unit. There is a great deck right off the kitchen with nice view towards Monteverde central. Be prepared to spot some birds and occasional monkeys.

What makes this property unique

Monteverde has a great grass field where locals like to hang out in the afternoons (weather permitting). Plus you can't beat dining at Tramontis, or Cabure, enjoy the Bat jungle and chocolate tour, join a coffee tour, or visit CASEM (women's coop). Plus the best bakeries in town (Zuccaros and Stellas) are right here. Tour companies will pick you up in front of the coffee house. We are happy to help you book tours and guide you to some of the best Monteverde has to offer. We will be as hands-on as you like or simply give you the keys and see you as you check out.
