Casa Guarumo. The cloud forest magical villa.

Sobre la casa:
Esta casa es muy diferente a cualquier otra que vayas a encontrar! Primero que todo es una de las casas más grandes y espaciosas de la zona. Tiene amplios jardines, y dos zonas sociales grandes e ideales para compartir entre familia o amigos. La casa se compone de una unidad principal, donde se encuentra la cocina, una sala para estar con chimenea, un comedor, una cama matrimonial y un baño privado. Adicionalmente hay 3 cuartos privados con su propio baño también, que están dentro de la misma propiedad pero con entradas totalmente independientes de esta unidad principal. Uno de esos 3 cuartos es un mini apartamento con su propio balcón y terraza, pero todo dentro del mismo terreno, de hecho no rentamos las unidades por separado.
Cada cuarto independiente cuenta con una cama doble y una cama nido donde caben dos personas también, y la casa principal además de tener una cama doble, tiene varias camas nido y sofás donde pueden dormir cómodamente algunas personas también.
Una de las características más curiosas de la casa es que cuenta con un anfiteatro, que es de uso totalmente gratuito para los huéspedes. En este anfiteatro muchas veces se han hecho pequeños eventos de música, retiros de yoga, meditaciones, entre otros.
Hay varios parqueos disponibles dentro de la propiedad y quedan en un espacio seguro.
The vacation home features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 5 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a sofa bed. Housekeeping is available on request.

What a great place to take our extended family. Sergio and his staff were amazingly accommodating and the house itself was perfect! One day I would love to hear the history about the stage/amphitheatre! Absolutely recommend! Stella’s cafe next door was an absolute treat too!

Spacious haven

While the monkeys seemed overwhelming at first, they were fun to watch and not a problem. We loved the layout and the spacious rooms. We could find solitude while still enjoying family gathering space. Its location provides quick access to numerous activities from the Cloud Forest , to a waterfall hike, to zip lining, to breakfast at the bottom of the driveway, to coffee options to town. There are a lot of steps!

Best place we stayed in during our trip to Costa Rica. Loved the wildlife and proximity to all Monteverde activities. Had a wonderful visit from a monkey family who wanted to snack on our food.

Great base for Monteverde

The house is very large so everyone could have there own room - all ensuite. Very well equipped kitchen. We really liked the location on Monteverde which allowed us to walk from the house to restaurant, shops and nature walks. We saw an Armadillo by the gate on the first evening. Highly recommended for big groups. Wish we could have stayed longer - 2 nights was not enough. Also the weather was much warmer than we expected.

Monteverde retreat

Very spacious, unusual eclectic property in heart of Monteverde. Kenny made sure we had all we needed. Our family had plenty of space for privacy and the main gathering room was perfect for dinner and being together as a group. Moderate walk to town with hills but easy walk to Stellas and restaurants/shops near by. Stellas is fantastic food with wonderful presentation. Monkeys are very entertaining. Think bohemian vs. Hyatt. We really enjoyed our time!

The property was as described and was a nice mix of some modern renovations along with a vintage feel. We loved how it was tucked away under the large trees, and the children absolutely loved the daily monkey visits. The 10 of us mostly spent our time together in the living room area, which has a great open floor plan with high vaulted ceilings. Lush rain forest jungle view off the decks. We had everything we needed to cook meals and enjoy the property thoroughly. Robert and Catalina were very helpful and great hosts/caretakers. The property owners were quick to respond to a few of our initial questions about the area. We also loved how close it was to a small little shopping center with bakery, local restaría y, and groceries, and that you could easily walk to them, a few hundred meters away. The multiple structures made it almost like a private resort. So everyone could have their own privacy and getaway. Extremely convenient to all of the activities that Monteverde has to offer.

Fun spot to stay in Monteverde

This is a fun property that even includes your own amphitheater! As a family of 6, everyone had room to both spread out and to hang out together. The kitchen is well stocked with pots and pans, so it was easy to cook our meals. ARRIVAL TIP - Do not trust GPS coordinates on Google Map as a way to arrive, that is not trustworthy in this part of the world. Instead orient yourself to Stellas restaurant. If you find yourself leaving Santa Elena and heading down to San Luis, you are going the wrong way.

Unique home in a wonderful location

Our family of seven (four adults and three kids) stayed at this beautiful and unique home for two nights. There are many places to sleep, including several beds with private bathrooms and lots of uniquely designed sofas that convert into extra beds, depending on how you want to arrange yourselves. The house is surrounded by amazing wildlife. We saw beautiful birds each morning, and were visited by a small and entertaining troop of white faced capuchin monkeys one morning. The location is outside the hustle and bustle of Monteverde, but just a few minutes walk from Stella's (a favorite for healthy and delicious breakfasts and lunches) and a few other stores and restaurants. Sergio was very responsive to any questions that came up, both before and during our stay. Thanks for a great stay!

Wonderful mountain house

We stayed in June for 4 nights, it was a large family gathering. The house and garden are a conglomerate of multiple rooms on the side of a hill that are not connected to each other but you can access from outside. Each room has its own balcony view and charm. The garden had lots of flora and intricate pathways, zig zagging to the rooms. When it rains it can be wet and slippery; it was the rainy season. The main living room and kitchen is well equipped with pots, pans, kettle, coffee maker, microwave, large toaster. We spent most of our time here and enjoyed playing card games on the large table. Plenty of sleeping options, lots of warm blankets, large safe to keep documents and laptops (ipads). The best part of the house was early morning and evening bird watching from kitchen balcony; lots of humming birds, emerald toucanets, motmots, trogans, finches... in addition to birds there were some larger animals that visited as well; squirrels, peahens, coatis, armadillos, agoutis.. In the night you can hear them jumping on the roofs.

Cloud forest experience

You literally feel like you’re staying in the forest - the property is beautiful and expansive, the rooms are spread out a bit and there’s quite a few stairs involved. I had my old parents (75 yrs+) who could walk up and down the stairs - we kept that to once a day though so they didn’t have to make multiple trips up and down. Our teenage boys took the rooms that were detached from the main unit while our parents and us stayed in adjacent rooms which are part of the main unit. Taking the luggage up & down for Checkin and checkout was certainly a bit of a haul - so, you need to be ready for that if you’re carrying a few check in bags. Our teenage boys got some workout with me:-) The location is very nice - we didn’t get to see the moneys as they never showed up. Stella’s bakery next door is great for breakfast & brunches. The host even arranged tour guide for night walk etc and provided tips for booking zipline etc. Selvatura park was a great family experience for Zipline as well as sloth habitat, butterfly garden, etc. Overall, a memorable cloud forest expedition staying at this property.

Simply amazing!

Casa Guarumo is a magical place! We were a group of 9 (4 adults, 5 children ages 14, 13, 11, 9, and 7) traveling through Monteverde for two nights. Communication with Sergio was great and despite us not following the directions (we were supposed to text 24 hours in advance of our arrival), they were able to accommodate an early check-in! The property is simply magical - there is a main house with one queen bed, and several other bedrooms scattered throughout the property. This might be an issue for some groups/families who have smaller children, but for us it worked well. Each bedroom had a twin trundle/couch in addition to a main bed (varied between queen and king beds) and a separate bathroom. One villa had a rooftop terrace! The amphitheater provided a cool vibe (it also had a separate men and womens toilet area). We felt this property would be a very cool event space! Please note - there is no A/C in this property, but we opened doors and windows to get air circulating. We were not uncomfortable at all - the climate in Monteverde is perfect for indoor/outdoor living. Our most favorite parts about the property are the lush vegetation throughout - you truly feel like you are in a jungle - and the MONKEYS! Each afternoon, the monkeys would come and visit around 4:30pm! This provided our group for lasting memories and was such a fun experience. Overall, this was a fantastic place for our group and will cherish the memories we had while staying here!
