Silvio's Family

My mom and I really enjoyed our stay at Casa del Sol. The view from the front porch is breathtaking! Silvio's family was wonderful and his son, Sebastian, was amazing at helping us make a reservation on the Sky Tram. The highlight for me was feeding the two horses, Jack and Tornado, each morning. I would highly recommend staying here.

The views were incredible! We enjoyed being away from it all in the cabin. The temperatures were unexpectedly chilly but it was a nice change. Bring a sweatshirt! We loved feeding and petting the horses! We enjoyed walking through the trails on the property and roasting marshmallows in the fire pit. A few things were a little wonky though. Only running the cook top and the water kettle kept blowing the breaker so we had to use one or the other. If someone was showering and another person flushed the toilet or turned on a sink faucet the pressure in the shower went way down and turned either really hot or really cold. The kitchen had minimal cookware. We are a family that likes to cook and didn’t want to have to leave the cabin for every meal so we had to get creative with only three pans and two burners. There weren’t any kitchen hand towels or wash cloths for showering. Everything else was great! The beds were really comfortable and so were the pillows! We would go back!

We loved being at Casa del Sol. Thank you so much for your attention! A dream place to unwind and relax! The peace that you feel in that place is unparalleled! Thank you very much, Mr. Silvio. We will certainly come back! 🙏🏻

This was our fourth time staying here, and we continue to love coming back! The property has beautiful views and feels wonderfully secluded, making it the perfect place to relax and unwind. It is always peaceful, clean, and comfortable. The family has also been wonderful hosts and always makes us feel welcome. We truly enjoy our stays here and look forward to returning again!

Wonderful location in Monteverde. Will definitely go there again.

We had a wonderful stay here because the entire place felt magical. The pathway to the house was about an additional 5-minute drive in, but it was scenic and beautiful almost like driving through a magical forest and arriving at a hidden home at the end. One of our favorite parts was seeing the horses and cows right in front of the house. The horses greeted us every time we drove in, and even in the morning when we woke up. The white horse especially had such a personality and would make noises to let us know he was there, which we found so charming. Silvio and his family were incredibly welcoming and greeted us with homemade organic banana bread, which we enjoyed right away after arriving. The house itself was very clean, cozy, and made us feel safe during our stay. The WiFi was excellent. There was no air conditioning or fan, but this wasn’t an issue for us at all since the property gets cool at night. Overall, this was such a peaceful and unique experience.

Incredible experience at Casa del Sol! Really a dream place full of possibilities and adventures very close by. What a delight to be able to spend a few days in this beautiful temple of goodness :)

This was truly such an incredible stay. A bit of a drive from town but it’s worth it. So peaceful and some of the most incredible views from you porch. It was such a sweet escape in the middle of our trip. And the hosts were so kind, accommodating, and responsive!

Great view and nice place to relax. 10 mins of off-road travel to the house but it is worth it.

If you're interested in a peaceful location with breathtaking views, look no further. About 15 minutes outside of Santa Elena, western facing porch makes for spectacular sunset viewing over the Gulf of Nicoya. The well maintained trails throughout the property are a pleasure to explore. Wildlife, birding, quiet contemplation, two friendly carrot loving horses. You don't need 4 wheel drive, but you absolutely need a higher clearance vehicle. Directions were clear. Google Maps isn't accurate, so follow the directions and you'll find it.

Excellent host and very attentive! I would go back

We (a family of 4 with a child and a baby) had a wonderful stay at Casa Del Sol! The house is lovely and very comfortable, and its location at the top of the The mountain is breathtaking! The large front terrace allowed us to enjoy the most beautiful scenery and the most beautiful sunsets! The trails on the property are well maintained and are a great option for enjoying the nearby Cloudforest. We saw several birds, agoutis, etc.! Silvio and his family were very kind and welcoming, and above all, very proactive and attentive! (e.g., they were happy to provide us with a crib, brought us a heater because the weather was particularly cold, etc.) We really appreciated it!! The Casa del Sol is definitely a place we would recommend to anyone looking to explore the area!

Stunning views. Peaceful. Nice horses. Responsive host. The views are truly magnificent! A real cabin next to the woods with squeaky floor and authentic feel! We loved it!

Amazing stay at Casa del Sol: breathtaking views and sunsets, absolute privacy, cozy and rustic cabin. We took advantage of the hiking trails, which start from the back of the house. Washer and dryer that were very useful after hiking in the cloud forest. Delicious banana bread upon arrival. All that's missing is heating... we froze the four nights until the mornings. Luckily Helmut provided us with extra warm blankets.

This was my second time staying and had a lovely stay! The views are gorgeous and the property is private and great for walks or short hikes. Silvio’s family is responsive to questions. Would stay again !
