Bird lover’s paradise! Thank you so much for keeping such a peaceful and beautiful place to share. We wish the stay was longer. The location and vista is magnificent. We couldn’t be happier with our stay.

The drive up Monteverde was worth it to get to our Airbnb. It is very secluded and safe with beautiful view of forest and flowers around the property. Daniel was very responsive and accommedated some of our request to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. We loved how close (20 min drive or less) all the wonderful activities, tours, restaurants, shops, grocery stores, etc were near by. The perfect place to book if you are looking to get away and surrounded yourself in nature and a quient touristy town with friendly locals.

Daniel is the best AirBnB host we've every experienced!! He was so incredibly helpful and knowledgable about everything we could possibly need, from nearby locations of everything to deep knowledge about local wildlife - birds, bugs, absolutely everything!! We're wildlife photographers and the location of Daniel's property is incredibly special and something most visitors to Monteverde don't get to see - it was truely a beautiful cloud forest experience!! We can't recommend it enough - thank you for a life changing experience Daniel!!!!

We had an amazing stay at Eximia Natura House. The Airbnb itself is quite beautiful, and we had a great time relaxing on the balconies and soaking in the Sun. Our host, Daniel was great at communicating and helped out when we briefly did not have hot water. He also made sure that we had activities booked while we were in Monteverde and he gave us tips on what wildlife we could spot out during our stay. We recommend having a 4x4 drive, because some of the roads leading up to the Airbnb can be a little rough depending on where you are coming from, so be mindful of the routes you are taking on waze or google maps!

We came to Monteverde for a 3 day stay in the mountains and this place definitely did not disappoint!! The place was very clean and wonderful and perfectly located, and the views were absolutely spectacular. Daniel was such an amazing host, he gave us some great food recommendations and taking his night walk tour was one of our highlights of the trip he is so kind and very knowledgeable of all the different animals to see around the mountain! We had a fantastic time!!

gracias ☺️ por tu comentario, fue un gusto tenerte a ti y tus amigas en casa... siempre tendrán las puertas abiertas si gustan regresar ☺️

We had a lovely stay, the house was very clean and very spacious for 3 people with a magnificent view of the forest, we could see lots of birds and butterflies. The house lacks nothing. Access is easy with a 4x4 if you put in the address sent by Daniel. The house is in a very peaceful place and only 20 minutes from the city of Santa Elena which is very charming and has everything. The temperature drops a little in Monteverde but Daniel had made extra blankets available so we didn't get cold. Thank you to Daniel for this great stay and his perfect communication!

Beautiful place in Monteverde. There were several ways up to the house and we didn’t know which one was best to take. The first route led us to a closed road, the second time we went up led us up a very bumpy/narrow road that led us to drive our rental car into a ditch (too narrow when passing another truck). The house was really nice, though I was under the impression that we had a a real washer/dryer not spin to dry. This created problems as the humidity is so high that our clothes didn’t dry until the last day we were here. We had 3 guests (last guest canceled), but we’re only given 4 towels which didn’t dry the entire time we were there, so we only could shower with wet towels. It’s the rainforest, so bugs are a thing there. The views are astounding.

lamento que tuvieras problemas con la ruta de llegada, en realidad las carreteras están de muy fácil acceso (si usas las principales), creo que tomaste una mala ruta por equivocacion , te recomiendo para el futuro al ver qué hay varias rutas consultar al contacto local (yo en este caso) para que te de orientación, nunca supe que estos problemas que tuvieron la llegar, espero pasaran un buen rato en Monverde a pesar de visitarnos en la época de lluvias, ya que a algunas personas no les gusta, un saludo y gracias por tus aportes.

A beautiful Airbnb away from downtown Monteverde, about 20 minutes by car, but in return in a paradise with a beautiful view of the mountain. If what you're looking for is tranquility and living with nature, it's the ideal place. Our idea was to walk around during the day and enjoy the Airbnb in the evenings, so I think it met all the requirements. Some opportunities for improvement were indicated to the owner, without any of them being important enough to overshadow our stay.

We had a fantastic stay and couldn't have asked for a better location for exploring Monteverde. The house was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The back was a lovely spot to relax and enjoy the surrounding nature. Daniel was also very responsive and helpful with any questions we had. I highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful and convenient base to experience the beauty of Monteverde!

gracias por tu comentario, estoy muy feliz que tuvieras una buena estancia en casa

Daniel is an amazing host and this is an amazing property. The house is well designed with an open concept providing tons of light and an expansive view over the adjoining hills, forest and canopy--like a cloud forest on misty days. It was immaculately clean on our arrival. Two beautiful patios provide an excellent area for sitting with a morning coffee or end of day wine while watching birds and weather roll through the area. Secluded, private, and quiet, this is a sanctuary type of place and heaven for birders. On one day of birding around the property, and exercising an abundance of patience, we spotted 34 species. It is worth noting that there is hot water in only the showers, not sinks in the bathrooms or kitchen--but this is very common across Costa Rica. It is a rough 20 minute drive to Santa Alena, seeming like an hour, which became shorter and a non-factor with repetition. Daniel is a wealth of knowledge and helped to make our entire stay in the area an incredible experience.

Daniel's house is very beautiful, just like in the pictures. The views of the forest are spectacular and the architecture with the big windows is perfect for the surroundings. It's very modern and clean, very comfortable to stay a few days or a week. The location is on a farm and very private, very secluded and it is recommended to have a car. There are a lot of birds on the property and Daniel maintains a list of birds that he has spotted. Daniel is a super nice and responsive host and we hope to stay at his place again if we return to Monteverde.

Truly a piece of Paradise!! So peaceful and secluded. We arrived in a wind and rain storm and got a bit off course. We stopped at another establishment and asked for help. In a moment Daniel showed up on his motorcycle and led us to our home. The garage was awesome because we didn’t have to unload in the rain. The house was beyond my expectations. Well built and had everything you could possibly need. Definitely would recommend this beautiful home.

Daniel’s house is beautiful! The views from the expansive windows are amazing and the house is very quiet and isolated. Recommend 4WD to access this location, especially if you have rain. It is about a 20 minute drive to central Santa Elena. The house was very clean and the kitchen is fairly well equipped. There is no heat. It was in the low 60’s F at night during our visit and the house was cool but we were comfortable wearing long pants and sweatshirts.

Pros: very beautiful and clean house, very nice and responsive host. Ultra quiet place. Negatives: No heating. I had already seen this review in the listing, but I still booked thinking that if the house has no heating, does it mean we don't need it? Think back. I went there in December and unfortunately I don't recommend anyone to go there during this time, because with the 13 degrees at night and in the morning, it's VERY cold in the house. I recommended Daniel to buy a portable heater. He could also equip himself with a dehumidifier, because it often rains in this area and since it is wet in the house it is impossible to dry the laundry. I know it's normal to have no heating, but I find that in this area it's really necessary, especially at the top of a mountain like this. Luckily, there were good blankets for sleeping warm.

Beautiful property. You wake up in the rain forest. Absolutely amazing space. Host was communicative. Would absolutely have a remote get away here. If the weather is bad the WiFi may be spotty. Because of the remoteness and bad road conditions around monteverde, highly recommend a 4 wheel drive or at least a suv with higher clearance

The place was our perfect, private paradise! The views from nearly every window were just amazing-exactly like the pictures. Beautiful tropical flowers everywhere and dozens of hummingbirds. One evening we watched five or six toucans fly in and play in the trees right across from the outside patio of the house. We could hear monkeys off in the distance but didn't get a chance to see any of them. The house is beautiful, and the couches and beds comfortable. Although lacking a few modern conveniences, if you are okay with that, this place is for you for sure! Daniel was a great host, very responsive and checked in with us to make sure everything was great.

We stayed for 2 nights and got to enjoy the cloud forests and ziplining in monteverde. Daniel’s house is peaceful and quiet and we saw toucans and hummingbirds from the house. The house has a good amount of space and is close to the things you want do and see in monteverde. We thought it was good value and would recommend to others. We had trouble on our drive to monteverde and Daniel was really helpful trying to help us sort it out which was a huge help!

Very nice house, very well equipped. Located away from the villages the house is in a very peaceful environment. Great views of the forest!

This house is stunning!! I wish we had more time to stay and enjoy nature while relaxing on the back patio! It is a bit of a drive on rocky, winding roads so be prepared for that, but otherwise it is a gorgeous house tucked away in lush mountainous fields surrounded by cows and birds. The views while drinking coffee in the back are breathtaking! I just wish there were screens in all the windows so we could hear the animals and feel the fresh breeze. I definitely recommend staying here for any nature lover to enjoy the country of Costa Rica!

This was another highlight accommodation at the end of our trip. 10 minutes outside Santa Elena, nested on a slope with a view of the forest around you. We saw (and heard) a group of Toucans and other beautiful birds every morning. We just arrived in sunny weather and enjoyed the full view and could see the whole area. Otherwise, it is known for being misty. The symphony of various bird sounds is very relaxing and a wonderful contrast to the usual loud noise of cicadas in the jungle. Access is a dirt/gravel road - like most roads in that area. We had a Toyota Yaris Sedan, which still worked out fine. You can enjoy nice little walks around the area and Daniel will help you with anything you need. The available yoga mat in the house was handy with the granite floor for your exercises. :-)

Really the accommodation is super spacious, it meets the requirements we are always looking for in Monteverde, in the middle of the mountain barely to appreciate the starry sky without light pollution, no neighbors, listening to cows and birds, simply the perfect place to disconnect. Just a very small observation, but I think it depends on the personal taste of everyone, the bed is very hard, our sleeping was not so pleasant. Otherwise everything is perfect.

Daniel, that you for sharing your beautiful home with us. The house is as per description; and seeing the many birds, including toucans, was a wonderful experience. Would love to get back and spend some hours on the patio, enjoying the view and the ever-changing clouds. Very peaceful and relaxing!! The area is beautiful, would advise if driving in that region for the first time, aim to be there during daylight for easier navigation of the terrain.
