This home is absolutely beautiful. Even better than the pictures provided. The view from the deck/porch is absolutely stunning. I would recommend a 4wd vehicle though as the location is very remote. Definitely worth the drive though. The breakfast provided for us was delicious. We even arrived a bit late and the host was extremely accommodating. Would definitely stay again.

One of the best airbnbs we visited in Costa Rica. Very pretty house, and very calm too, since it is farther away from the main road. Zohar is a wonderful host, thank you Zohar for your time and kindness! Unfortunately we did not meet Lauran, but the comminucation with her went perfectly well. We definitely recommend this place and will return there, if we come back to Costa Rica someday! Thank both of you again for your letting us stay with you!

We loved staying in this lovely home! The room is really nice, the bathroom as well. They are separated so you have some privacy! Lauran and her friend are a really nice couple, easy going and fun to hang out with! Definitely recommend their house and be sure to check out the magnificent tree in their front yard!

Quiet location, walking distance to the highway, store and junction. Zohar picked us up from the bus station and invited us to treat his home like it were our own. Zohar is a very friendly, funny host who likes to have conversations throughout is busy days working on the papaya and squash farm. We hope to return and meet his wife, she was out of town. Take the food scraps out to the pigs and watch their cuteness in action. Good comfortable bed and beautifully designed home. We were also grateful to use the nearby swimming pool and share a couple meals with the host. Tuanes, Puramor!

Our best airbnb stay in costa rica! Such a nice couple! When we arrived they showed us their farm with the amazing huge tree next to their beautiful house. The room with private bath was spcious and clean, very comportable... When we left we got farewell gifts - some delicious butternut squashes. We highly recommend this place!!!!

A perfect spot--within striking distance of a number of attractions, but very laid back host and location, decidedly NOT touristy. Hiked around a bit, hung out with Zohar and checked out the farm. Easy to find, cheap. Highly recommended!

This place is great! Zohar and Laurie are the nicest and their farm is beautiful ! Wish I'd stayed longer ! The room is super comfortable big window overlooking a beautiful tree and a private bathroom! The house is spacious ,fully equipped kitchen which I took advantage of , walking distance to a supermarket with wide variety of everything ( almond milk too). The farm is centrally located between San Jose , Monteverde and the pacific beaches, very quite and tranquile., I felt inspired to work on my sketches and spent most my day walking around the beautiful and watching the beauty of the land and wildlife of this beautiful spot in costa. I highly recommend staying here , great place to unwind and take it easy on the roads in Costa Rica!

We choose Lauran's Farm because it was a perfect option for us to sleep between Monteverde and Montezuma. The house is beautiful as our room with private bathroom. Lauran and her husband are wonderful, we shared diner together and spend a good time. In the morning Lauran's husband gave us a tour of the farm and explained us how it works. we also saw monkeys ..... We recommend definitly this place.

Pamela and Nestor are excellent hosts, and have in depth knowledge of not only their surrounding area, but other must-see locations through out the country. There situated right in the crossroads between the Mountains and Beaches... making it the perfect place to stay after a long day of exploring. The custom built home is beautiful and very well kept. It has it's own private gate making sure you feel safe and secure. From the second you walk in, you are welcomed with open arms, a cool beer, and some awesome stories about the local culture. I highly recommend this location, and plan on returning in the near future... Pura Vida!

Pamela and Nestor (and their 5 big dogs) went above and beyond any expectations we had. We spent a beautiful new years eve with them, and they made us feel like family. The house is cozy, surrounded by beautiful vistas. I would highly recommend staying here during your travels.

Anreise mit dem Fahrrad waren wir sehr glücklich, einen Platz zu finden, an diesem Ort zu bleiben, aber es erschien ein großes Erlebnis zu werden. Pamela ein ihr Mann lud uns zu ihrem schönen Haus und empfing uns mit großer Gastfreundschaft. Es hat unseren Urlaub in Costa Rica noch besser! Vielen Dank!!!

Everything was top. Hosts are very friendly and accommodating. Their house is beautiful.

Un excellent choix lorsque vous voulez avoir une bonne pause de l'agitation de la ville. Nestor et Pamela sont d'excellents hôtes, toujours très attentif. Très propre et dispose de tous les services. Certainement recommandé.

Pamela y Néstor son cálidos y acogedores anfitriones yery llenos de conocimiento y dedicación. Yo sin duda sentí como en casa! Sus 4 perros grandes son lindos y les encanta jugar. En la parte superior - si usted desea aumentar significativamente sus posibilidades de ver guacamayos rojos en estrecha distancia este es un lugar perfecto. Feliz de volver

Very friendly hosts with a beautiful home

Pamela and Nester were so welcoming to 4 very frazzled travelers. Nester came to meet us, so we could follow them to their house. They were such a nice couple. Their home was lovely and very comfortable. We enjoyed the dogs, the McCaws, and the view. We would highly recommend their home to anyone.

If you want the "Tico" experience, this is the place for you and your family. We love to stay with Alba and her family and really got a genuine experience in Costa Rica, exactly what we were looking for. I can't say enough how much we love to stay here, we didn't want to leave. Alba actually has a lot of experience renting her place (and previously in the hotel business) so she knows how to give that special treatment to guests. She made us feel right at home as soon as we got there. We shared meals together and really enjoyed our stay. She went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and our son loved her too and now that we're back home he still asks to go back to Alba's house. We feel now we have a new family in Costa Rica!

Accueil exceptionnel de la part de nos hôtes. Famille costaricaine très sympathique et accueillante! Je recommande vivement surtout si vous souhaitez découvrir la région de Monteverde.

Alba y su familia ha sido fantástica con nosotros, ha sido una experiencia muy bonita, estar en casa de una familia Tica tan especial! Alba hace unas empanadas fantásticas!!

Alba was an amazing host; helpful, knowledgeable and easy to communicate with. Plus the breakfasts were delicious! The location is walkable to amenities, but when it's windy (and it's windy a lot in Monteverde) there is a lot of rattling so bring ear plugs!

Wonderful guests, beautiful wooden house, most cozy and comfortable, nestled in a gorgeous place.

Carolina's place is in a spectacular location. The views from the deck and the pool are incredible, especially when the clouds are rolling in and out, giving it a mysterious mountain jungle vibe. The property is buzzing with all kinds of wildlife - various birds, butterflies, small animals, hummingbirds, etc. Princess and Blackie, the two dogs living on the property, were so sweet - we loved them. We unfortunately were unable to meet Carolina as she was out of town, but she provided timely support via email with regards to any of my questions. Don Walter and Carolinas parents were so kind and generous, giving us fruit and having conversations with us despite our lack of Spanish. They make you feel very welcome. We even arrived a bit early and although our room wasn't ready yet they still allowed us to use the main space and Don Walter gave us a tour of the property. Highly recommended space for your stay in the Monteverde area! Just make sure you have a decent vehicle as the roads are steep and mostly gravel to town. Worth the ride in every day for those views. Thanks Carolina and family!

If you want to be in the middle of the clouds and the beauty of Costa Rica please take a few nights to stay here in this beautiful home. The hospitality that was shown to my boyfriend and I was incredible. The property is breathtaking and the photos don't even do it justice (even though the photos are gorgeous). We plan on coming back on December.

Such an amazing place and great hosts. Made us feel so welcome and even gave us a private tour of the property with homemade coffee! We would definitely go back!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Linda Vista Green Soul. The views and grounds are spectacular and the accommodations were comfortable, inviting, and spacious. Our host was extremely helpful and showed us great hospitality - he even gave us a guided tour of the beautiful grounds.

Un lugar hermoso. La vista espectacular. La casa es demasiado cómoda y amena. Totalmente recomendado.

Explora la caminata en la tierra. Hacer amigos con Walter es el hombre y el gato de todos los oficios. El perro más increíble Blacky - es el mejor amigo que uno puede tener en la vida. Cepille sus habilidades españolas antes de ir como la experiencia con la familia y otros se dobla. Hermoso, atento, limpio, confortable y mucho más. Ricardo y Mary y amante divertido y cuidando anfitriones, uno debe experiencia esta estancia en su propiedad y estoy seguro que todo el mundo lo encantaría.

One of the best AirBnB hosts I've ever stayed with. I would absolutely love to stay there again!

Nice host and clean home

The best place to stay in Costa Rica. We spent 7 weeks in Costa rica and our stay at the coffee farm was fantastic. The host was very kind and generous and made great Costa rican dishes. We Got fresh eggs and milk and vegerables we never had Before. The surroundings is marvellous.Recommend thid place very much

La nostra estada a Hermida va ser genial. Ella és una gran amfitriona. Recomanem cuinar amb ella i recórrer la granja si teniu temps. És una mica impagable (20 minuts) a Santa Elena / Monteverde, però el paisatge cada vegada val la pena. Si arribes a Hermida de fora de la ciutat, ens vam adonar més tard que el recorregut per Las Juntas és molt més agradable que el camí accidentat i accidentat del 606 a Monteverde. Desitgem que haguéssim conegut.

Tuvimos una estancia increíble y memorable. Adriana se encarga de la reserva airbnb pero su madre Hermida es el dueño y lo más probable que se verá más. Recomiendo encarecidamente el aprendizaje de antemano español como Hermida y su familia sólo lo hablan. Tuvimos la suerte de que un amigo de la familia, Jessica, se visitan y aunque no es el mejor ... ayudado en la traducción que no podíamos descifrar. Toda la familia era tan increíblemente cálido y acogedor que mi novia y yo seguía comentando lo mucho que nos sentimos como en casa. La finca es preciosa, pero como tal, es una granja ... no es un hotel de cinco estrellas. ¡Ésto es una cosa buena! Nuestra casita estaba equipada con everyrhing que necesitábamos-toallas, jabón, utensilios de cocina e incluso las frutas, verduras y huevos frescos. Hemos ayudado a los Hermida hacer tamales, tortillas, chayote, y café para su viaje de mercado de los agricultores. Por la ayuda que nos abastecido con más que suficiente tamales, chayote y café .... que golpea los calcetines de cualquier otro café que he tenido. En resumen, una estancia increíble .... no puedo esperar a ver a la familia de nuevo! Gracias Hermida, Jessica, Osvaldo, Domingo, y Adriana para las vacaciones inolvidables!

I cannot begin to express how amazing my time was spent on Ermida's finca. The casita is intimate and private, while ermida's house is open and filled with warmth and hospitality. Cooking with her in the kitchen is an incredibly authentic experience, and provides a great opportunity to practice (or in my case, learn) Spanish. The finca is located outside of Santa Elena in Los Tournos- a public bus runs a few times a day, and taxis are readily available from the center of town back to the casita. I would recommend this finca to anyone looking for an authentic tico experience a bit removed from town. Ermida radiates joy, and her generosity, hospitality and kindness were a highlight of my travels.

Nous avons adoré absolument tout sur ce lieu et notre expérience, sauf pour une chose ... Les poulets du voisin la nuit sont bruyants. S'il vous plaît ne laissez pas arrêter quelqu'un d'entre vous de venir. Vous manquer une expérience merveilleuse. Il suffit d'apporter des bouchons d'oreille!

The host was very welcoming, she even offered to cook us a little something. The place is easy to find, the room was clean and big. At 20 midnight drive from the city center. As it is in solid medium thence forests, there was naturally some insects.

Der Aufenthalt im Coffee Farm war ein absolut einzigartiges Erlebnis. Wir wurden mit offenen Armen von Adriana Familie begrüßt, und wir wurden zu (lecker) Frühstück behandelt wie wir alte Freunde zu besuchen. Wir waren auf einer Tour durch die Farm genommen und sogar einige Wurzeln zum Kochen später geerntet. Wer auf der Suche nach einem wirklich authentische Erfahrung in Costa Rica sollte der Kaffee-Farm ein Muss-Besuch zu machen. Der Kaffee selbst ist ein ziemlich starkes Verkaufsargument, aber der sympathische Art von allen, die wir auseinander gesetzt diesen Ort erfüllt.

True to the description, this is a rustic 2-room cottage on a rural coffee farm run by a lovely, kind woman. The view out of the cottage is stunning! Our 2 year old son was delighted to visit her pigs and chickens throughout our stay. We had dinner at Hermida's one evening and she is an amazing cook! One thing to note for those who, like me, are not huge bug lovers, the number and size of bugs in the cottage our first night (after hot, dry day) definitely was outside my comfort zone, however the second evening with heavy rain we saw very few bugs. Hermida met us at the cottage and then showed us around the farm and was so welcoming, hospitable, generous and so friendly to our son, even through some very typical terrible twos behavior. If you want a unique experience off the beaten path with a great host, you'll love Hermida's place!

Tarsicio and Marianela were wonderful hosts. their hospitality were great; they are willing to help you so you can enjoy your stay. Btw , i went by myself in Costa Rica, and i enjoyed staying in Monteverde because of their hospitality!!! Tarsiscio helped me with most of my reservations; he even gave me some tips on when to go on certain places. He knew a lot of the locals in Monteverde, so it was easy for me to do certain activities, such as horseback riding and going to the hot springs (and also the prices are great compared to the ones I've checked out). The house was beautiful, clean, spacious, and rustic (which i love the most), and also, the house is located close to Santa Elena town (walking distance), Cloud and Curi-Cancha Reserves, Frog Pond, Bat Jungle, Chocolate Restaurant (very, very close to the house). Tarcisio served us breakfast with Toast, homemade jams (which is very delicious ), eggs, and with some fruits!! I highly recommend staying at Tarcisio and Marianela's house. They are available when you have any questions and they always try to make sure your stay is as comfortable as possible. I would certainly come back to Monteverde and stay at Tarcisio and Marianela's house again. they are the great and very humble people who is willing to help!!! I had so much fun in Monteverde <333

Everything was better than I expected. The owners are very kind and trying to do their best. Moreover, I practised my spanish a lot during beertalks. :)

I highly recommend this place. It's a bit fare from the center but if you are going to do some Tours they will pick you up at the house. The hosts are the loveliest people ever. They do everything that you feel at home. Todo muy limpio. La gente es muy linda y te ayudan planear tu estancia en Monteverde. Saben mucho y cuáles de los Tours son los mejores. Wirklich nur zu empfehlen. Zwar etwas außerhalb des Zentrums, dafür stimmt das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis und alles ist sehr sauber. Und es gibt sogar eine warme Dusche.

Leider regnete es stark, wenn ich Monteverde besucht, so konnte ich nicht wirklich die Gegend zu genießen. Mein Zimmer war komfortabel und warm trotz der Bilder anders zu sein. Tarcisio als Wirt ist freundlich und warmherzig. Er hat eine Leidenschaft für das Hosting und für die Menschen. Ein schöner Aufenthalt!

Bei den beiden zu wohnen ist wie den Akku aufladen. Es war ruhig, gemütlich, es gab richtig gutes Frühstück und Kaffee. Tarsicio hat mich zu allen Touren super beraten und mir umfangreiche Auskunft gegeben, sodass ich die Tage absolut stressfrei verbringen konnte. Die beiden sind unheimlich herzliche Menschen und man merkt sofort, dass es Ihnen wichtig ist, dass es einem gut geht. Das Haus ist bemerkenswert und sehr gut ausgestattet. Zu Fuß zum nächsten Laden sind es um die 15 Minuten, nach Monteverde etwa 25 Minuten! Die Unterkunft empfehle ich mit besten Gewissen weiter! Die Tour nach La Fortuna (Bus-Boot-Bus) ist ebenfalls nur zu empfehlen, falls es in diese Richtung gehen soll!!

The place is quiet and withdrawn. The dusty track work will not hear. The house is under renovation but clean. The kitchen could be better arranged. The photos show the house to similar side. The rooms are simple, clean and sometimes with private bathroom. The small def is very good and the hosts are very friendly and helpful.

Muy amables y atentos a las necesidades y ayuda de uno.

Cet endroit était génial. Nous étions si tard voyage et Veronica ont travaillé avec nous si bien pour vous assurer que nous avons pu nous installer pour la nuit. Elle nous a même fait un traitement spécial et jus de fruits frais à l'arrivée. Le ranch vous donne l'occasion d'une vie et est honnêtement un choix incroyable. La maison est confortable, l'outback porche est magnifique et placé au-dessus d'un paysage fluvial étonnant. Vous pouvez même traîner avec les chiens et autres animaux du ranch! J'ai été surpris que Veronica était si connecté à nous pendant notre séjour si nous avions besoin d'elle. La seule légère chute est le futon est mal à l'aise si vous deviez avoir besoin de dormir pendant plus de quelques jours. Nous reviendrons certainement ici.

We had such a great time at this cabin! Elberth was awesome! He was so helpful and arranged a very interesting coffee tour for us. The cabin was very clean and comfortable. We cannot wait to visit again!

Das Haus wurde gut gestaltet, attraktiv, sehr sauber und perfekt für unseren 2-tägigen Aufenthalt. Alle drei Brüder arbeiteten zusammen, um sicherzustellen, dass wir uns wohl und "Überschrift in die richtige Richtung" waren. Elberth ist eine große guide..we'd sehr empfehlen, wenn Sie am meisten in Monte Verde sehen wollen. Unsere Nachtwanderung im Übergang Wald mit seinem Bruder, Marisio, hat Spaß gemacht ... so viele Informationen, Vögel und 2 Faultiere! Wer könnte mehr verlangen!

Große 2-stöckige Kabine befindet sich auf einer ziemlich abgelegenen Eigenschaft. Es war eine 5-minütige Fahrt in die Stadt, wo man Lebensmittel trinken oder die lokalen Geschäfte und Restaurants besuchen kann. Einige tolle Empfehlungen von den Brüdern, der Nachtwanderung und Reißverschluss waren fantastisch! Sarah & Daryl

Elberth and his brothers are fantastic hosts. They met us at the house when we arrived and were very flexible about checking in and out (we arrived a little early and left a little late). We were also lucky, since the cabin wasn't booked for the day we were checking out. The cabin is well-stocked, so you'll be set when you get there. It's cozy -- the sleeping areas are not separate -- so be sure to share this place with someone you like! The property surrounding the house is beautiful, and there are giant windows so plenty of light and fresh air can make its way through the cabin. Elberth is also an excellent tour guide with reasonable rates. We took both the night walk and morning cloud forest tour with him. I highly recommend both tours. Above all, Elberth and his brothers are super nice people and made sure we were totally comfortable. I wish we could have stayed longer, and when I come back to the area I will try to book a stay at one of their cabins again.

Elbert and his brother were wonderful hosts! So welcoming and helpful. We loved all the knowledge they shared with us about the area and their help setting up guided hikes was wonderful. The cabin was clean and fun to stay in! We loved this spot!

Stayed 2 nights, it was a great escape!

Excellent place to stay near Monteverde. Absolutely beautiful views all around. Place was comfortable and perfect for my girlfriend and I. Would stay again.

Our stay at Las Marias Cabin was a welcome retreat from the heat and crowds of the Pacific ocean tourist spots. The remote location was well worth it, but important to keep in mind for future guests who may be traveling Costa Rica without private transportation. We did not have our own rental car on this trip and the three brothers (Elberth, Alexander, and Mauricio) made a great effort to provide transportation to/from Santa Elena and on excursions. The highlights of the stay were the guided hikes we took with Mauricio (brother of Elberth). The cabin itself was equipped for self-catering and built to show off the wonderful sunrises and sunsets.
