Monteverde Vacation

We loved our stay at Casa Mia and Monteverde. Our host was fantastic and provided us with many recommendations for the area. The house was clean and very comfortable for our family of four. Kitchen was very well stocked and the views from the windows were astounding. We even had a little coati pay us a visit just outside the kitchen window and we enjoyed waking up to the sounds of the birds.

Great stay in the cloud forest

Amazing property in a great location. Very convenient to Santa Elena and the best Monteverde attractions including Sky Adventures and Selvatura parks. The on-site hiking trails were an amazing bonus and fun for the whole family. Oscar is a friendly and very responsive host. Highly recommend Casa Mia.

Mi Casa Monteverde

Our family of four absolutely loved our stay. Location is perfect for accessing activities yet tucked away and private for quiet walks on the property and bird watching. House had everything we needed, and having access to laundry was really helpful. Definitely recommend a stay here! Thanks Oscar and Juana!

We Loved it.

This was the perfect location. A short drive to town and places we wanted to visit. We were surprised upon arrival in this beautiful home with a variety fruit, cake, eggs, bread and coffee. The view from the property is excellent with a great walking trail. If we come back to Monteverde, we will stay here again.

Great stay

The hosts were very friendly and helpful. The place was clean and the surrounding had walking trails and a river. Screen doors in the bedrooms would be a great addition. While it is only 3km from town it is at least an hour to an hour and a half walk. Be prepared.

Beautiful private home in Monteverde

Nestled in the cloud forest, this beautiful well-appointed home was perfect for our 3 days in Monteverde. Oscar was easy to communicate with before and during our trip. We arrived to find fresh eggs and delicious homemade bread in the kitchen. It was a quick drive into town, close to attractions and restaurants. It was hard to leave this wonderful place! Thank you, Oscar for a memorable stop on our CR adventure!

Rainforest Heaven

This place is magic. The large windows. The decks. The incredibly efficient use of space. The cozy decor. Perfect. I wish I could of stayed longer. If I ever needed a getaway to completely unplug - this would be my destination. Loved it.

Piece of Paradise

The property is exactly as depicted in pictures. It is a bit secluded but tucked away between rolling hills with horses and cows. Bed was comfortable and the natural air conditioning was perfect. We sat on the deck daily with coffee to watch the birds. Oscar and his son were very attentive and responded quickly to questions. I recommend Casa Mia

Relaxing Mountain Escape

The house was very clean with everything we needed for our stay. When we arrived there were eggs and a loaf of bread waiting for us. The large windows face the mountains, with views of beautiful trees teeming with birds and butterflies. One night we sat on the upstairs porch to watch a lightening storm and fireflies. There’s a pretty hike just outside the house. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a quiet and tranquil place to rest and enjoy nature. A short drive from town and the outdoor adventure companies.

Forest Paradise

The moment you drive up to Casa Mia you know you’re in a special place. It’s far enough from the bustle of Santa Elena that you feel immersed in the cloud forest. The trails around the property are well maintained and easy to follow. Oscar and Rosalie clearly care about their guests. They checked up on me after I went walking by myself rather late in the day. (It gets dark quick in the forest!) The house itself has all the amenities you need, comfy beds, and lots of windows so you can feel ‘outside’ even when you’re in. We saw plenty of hummingbirds, a toucanet, and montezuma’s oropendolas. The location was convenient for driving to El Tigre Waterfalls (highly recommend this place) and Salvetura Adeventure Park. I would stay here again. Thanks for sharing this amazing place Oscar and Rosalie.

The home is absolutely gorgeous, with thoughtful details throughout. We've been to Monteverde a few times, and this has by far been our favorite place to stay. The atmosphere is peaceful, the surroundings are beautiful, and every corner of the home feels cozy and welcoming. It’s clear that a lot of care has gone into making this a truly special place. We can't wait to come back!

Absolutely loved this place

We absolutely loved this place! All of the windows make you feel so connected with the beautiful nature outside. We enjoyed waking up in the mornings and seeing/listening to the birds. There was a nearby tree on the property with several nests of Montezuma Oropendolas which was a highlight of our stay. The space was clean and comfortable and our host Oscar was so friendly and kind. We hope to return on day if we revisit the area. Gracias Oscar!

Once a lifetime location and view

Although it is a bit challenging (for an average American) to get to the property via winding road (partly gravel and partly one lane), the view and location are stunning. The feeling of being in a middle of the forest with mountains and a stream running at the bottom of the valley, symphony of birds and moving leaves and cicadas. It all comes with panoramic views out of all living areas and bedrooms and all modern conveniences. Bathrooms and showers are nice and WiFi works well. Would recommend a 4x4 car to get there.We all loved it and would want to return.

Could not be better

This is our second stay at Casa Mia. We love the setting and the house fits us perfectly. From our balcony we could see lots and lots of birds, even a troupe of monkeys came through to entertain us. Oscar and his wife are great hosts. Fresh flowers in the house! Fresh eggs and a loaf of bread were enough for two breakfasts for the four of us. Comfy beds. Can’t ask for more! We’ll be back again.
