A Note About Nature - Because you’re close to the forest, you may see harmless insects—part of the natural ecosystem here. We provide a clean, sanitized space between every stay and respect both guest comfort and the local environment. We also have essential oils and cotton if you want to rub across the window sill as this will help reduce mini-ants coming to visit. Even scorpions are not dangerous here, so we try to remember that they too serve an important purpose in our eco-system.

Your Stay, Your Way - We’re happy to offer personalized local tips—or give you complete privacy for a self-guided stay. Whether you’re traveling as a family or with friends, our home offers the perfect blend of comfort, calm, and connection to nature.

Make Your Monteverde Memories Here -Where forest meets community, and every morning starts with birdsong.

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.
