Casa del Sol, Monteverde

The views from the front porch are some of the best you will see anywhere, especially at sunset! Also, the welcoming committee (Jack and Tornado, the resident horses) was very friendly. They enjoyed the snacks we provided them. The house was exactly as described and was very clean and had everything we needed. Getting to the house is a little bit of a challenge, but so worth it once you arrive. The house is very secluded and quiet...and did I mention the views?! We would definitely recommend staying at Silvio's Family's home!

Wir waren insgesamt 5 Nächte dort (wir haben direkt nach der ersten Nacht entschieden zu verlängern). Die Lage ist unglaublich! Es gibt in ganz Monteverde wohl kaum eine bessere Aussicht! Man sieht bis ans Meer und die Sonnenuntergänge sind atemberaubend. Die Unterkunft hat alles was man braucht und die Betten sind sehr gemütlich. Tagsüber schwirren um die Veranda den ganzen Tag Kolibris und Schmetterlinge - es ist unbeschreiblich. Und die beiden Pferde freuen sich auch immer, sobald man an den Zaun kommt. Diese Unterkunft ist absolut empfehlenswert. Silvio und seine Familie sind ebenfalls super nette Leute. Danke nochmal für alles!

The best place in Monteverde!!! I have rented this house many times and the amazing feeling is always the same!!! Great spot to be.

I’ve stayed in Airbnbs for ~5-6 years all over the world. Silvio’s place stands out as one of the most beautiful and unique locations. It is pretty far away from everything but still just a 15 min drive into Santa Elena. I was glad I had an suv. a car probably could make it but you’d need to be careful. Jack and Tornado (the horses) kept me company because you won’t see anyone else up there. There are hiking trails very close by. It’s very high in the mountains with a view clear to the ocean (on a clear day). Often the clouds come in and cover everything. Lots of parrots, hummingbirds and butterflies around the house. I had a great time and would highly recommend.

Our stay at Silvio’s place was one to remember. The view is spectacular, the house is the great, & the front deck offers some of the best views to be had in the area. There’s a horse who lives right in front, who was super friendly. This was a special bonus, that brought joy to all of us. Getting to the house (from the road to parking) was a bit tougher than we anticipated (in the dark the first time) but Silvo’s instructions were clear and he was right there to answer our questions. I’m sure some may find it challenging. (Dark / bumpy / side of a cliff , ya know what makes Costa Rica so special) but totally fine for us with awd. Few things to note - It’s cooler at this place bc of the altitude , no AC Was no problem! There’s some bugs around but that’s to be expected , nothing crazy at all , just know youll see a few And whatever Google Maps says, add 5 minutes to that. It’s about 17-20 minutes to the start of Monte Verde, which isn’t a bad drive. Do zip line:)

This house is magical. The setting is amazing, the views are incredible, and the peace and quiet were very welcome. I could have happily stayed here for a month!

This is our 3rd time staying here. it is beautiful place with amazing views. We will be coming back again!

This place is really amazing, and the perfect place to relax in nature. Every day I would walk on the property with my dogs and would also say hello to the resident horse Jack. The sunsets are magical here on the front covered porch. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. It was a nice touch to have coffee and coffee filters available! And also the banana bread they left was amazing. I did go buy more of it from Ingrid who makes it out of her home. I had a minor issue with the wifi when I first checked in, Silvio and his son helped to resolve it (just need a different password). And they also came to the house when I struggled to close a window and needed help with the safe. Such a friendly family and the best part was they connected me with a local birdwatching guide for a private tour at a great price. Highly recommend Adrian’s tour. I will definitely be back to stay !

If you are a cottage type person who loves nature and being away from everyone, this place is perfect. The view of the valley is spectacular. The location is perfect. There are no neighbours. Only 15-minutes from Santa Elena. Great spot to experience Monteverde in all its beauty. P.S. The road to the property can be rough, but our compact 2WD SUV didn't have trouble climbing it even during pouring rain.
