“Warm and friendly hosts that will go above and beyond”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012

person found this review helpful

My wife and I, along with our seven your old son, spent two wonderful weeks in Costa Rica. Most of it was on the beach, not enough of it was in Arenal and Monteverde. Monetverde was truely the highlight of our trip, and much of this was thanks to Reina and Leo, our wonderful hosts who were amzaing, gracious, generous and patient. Our seven year old hit it off with their little one in no time. The hospitality, location, food, in house shuttle/taxi service from Leo really made for a relaxed, easy and comfortable stay in Monteverde. Their place is clean and very well cared for. The cabanas are well situated to give you privacy and nice views. All their recommendations were spot on when it came to activites, tours and planning.

Not to be missed...night hike, butterfly garden---especially if you have kids that enjoy insects, Monteverde Park Reserve. The only disappointment withe the latter was the lack of animal sightings when we were there in July. Very few birds or mammals. We were told that mating season is best if you wish to see more activity but it was definitely still a worth the visit.

We honestly wished that we had spent more time in Monteverde, mostly just to hang out at Valle Campanas.

“Amazing start to our Costa Rican vacation”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 February 2012

This is a wonderful place to stay. Clean, comfortable and you get a true Costa Rica Tico experience. Reina, property owner, is so sweet and welcoming. She helped us arrange a night walk, frog pond tour, and her AMAZING breakfast each morning was to die for. She pressed fresh sugar cane juice for us to try. And while we packed up, her young daughter played with our 4 year old so she would be out of the way. The grounds are landscaped beautifully. They have a small trail leading through the gardens where you'll see banana trees, coffee trees, sloths, and jungle! We stayed for two days, and I would have been happy to spend our entire week with them.

Room Tip: We had a cabin away from the main house, so we didn't see a soul out our balcony. My husband RE...

“Really lovely place, off the beaten path”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 January 2012

The Monteverde/Santa Elena area can feel rather crowded and touristy for such an out-of-the-way place, so we were happy to have found this place, just outside of the bustle of the main town. We stayed one night here during our honeymoon trip and Reina couldn't have been more warm or accommodating.

The drive to Valle Campanas is a bit bumpy (like a lot of roads in Costa Rica), but once there, the property is beautiful and feels secluded. The cabins are cozy, two-story structures that are simple and rustic, but immaculately clean and charming. They also feel incredibly private and have lovely views of the valley below. We wished we could have stayed longer, and indeed, the set-up of these cabins would be great for small families or small groups who intend to stay for longer periods of time, since the cabins are equipped with kitchenettes and dining areas. And the prices were more than fair!

Although we did not have time to arrange any activities through Reina, being there only one night, she was very knowledgeable about the area and I felt we would have been in good hands if we had asked her to do so.

If you are looking for a full-service, western-style five-star resort, this is not your place, but if you are looking for a wonderful, small local business that exudes the warmth of Costa
Rican hospitality, this place is it!

“The perfect location for visiting the Monteverde Cloud Forrest”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 January 2012

Perfect for a complete independent stay. The kitchen offers everything to cook your own meals but the breakfast provided by the owners is also a must. Cabinas have a lot of space and are very private wit a big private garden. Owners are very kind and helpfull in searching for activities and other things.

“Fantastic Stay- best on our trip!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 January 2012

Reina and Leo are the definition of hospitable. Their breakfast was fantastic and showed off their home grown products (plantain, milk, coffee, eggs, sugarcane). The cabins were spotless, private, and comfortable. Reina was very helpful in setting up a guide off the beaten path for us and we successfully saw 3 Resplendent Quetzals. We also enjoyed seeing a Toucanette outside our cabin window. We thoroughly enjoyed walking around the beautiful family farm (finca). We loved our stay so much that we passed on the information to several other travelers. We will be back!
