Nice spot. Great view. One of the cheaper places to stay in Monteverde. Free breakfast is a bonus and they have a pool you can use anytime. The host was friendly and helpful. You do get a few small insects in the room but not many. It is a bit in out of the way so you want a vehicle if you're staying there.

This is a beautiful property and we truly enjoyed our stay. The family is welcoming and informative. The room was spacious and had high quality linens. Amazing views, delicious breakfast! The only downside was the drive out there...25 mins on single lane, bumpy dirt roads. Overall, the place was worth the drive, but

Very peaceful spot! The hosts are very kind and welcoming, and offer good support on how to get around the area and what to do. Don’t be afraid of the road in — it’s very manageable. Breakfast was delicious! Just be aware that it is not in town or walkable to restaurants, etc (20 min drive), but the cabins have a fridge and the hosts generously allow use of the kitchen with microwave, etc. We loved our stay — thank you Beatriz and family!

Rancho de Lelo is a wonderful place to stay if you’re looking for peace and nature. The warm welcome (including a beautiful welcome package) and family atmosphere made our visit especially enjoyable. The room and facilities were spotless and well maintained. The cabin offers everything you need — including a fridge and excellent Wi-Fi. Would highly recommend to anyone travelling to Monteverde!

Our cabin sits in the mountains and is surrounded by beautiful gardens with lots of flowers, tropical vegetation, and coffee trees. The room is spacious, clean, and nicely decorated. We were welcomed by Natalia and Beatriz with a delicious food basket. The breakfasts were healthy and very yummy. Beatriz introduced us to the attractions and even a local soccer game. Since my boys are huge soccer fans, we made the effort to drive back to watch the game, which was one of the highlights of our entire trip! Highly recommended!

The room was larger and nicer than the pictures; it is about 20’x20’. The setting is very picturesque, tranquil, and I loved it. The problem is the road to get here which is very bad, mostly no pavement for about 5 miles. This dirt road has ups, downs, and curves with potholes. It took me 20 minutes to drive a 5 miles road. You need a high clearance car for this road. If it rains, you might need a 4 wheel drive. Besides the road to get there, everything is great. Wonderful hosts and setting.
