Good spot, very nice property and peaceful. Check in was a bit confusing, as you check in at Chira Glamping and then go to the property right down the road. When using GPS look up Chira. Otherwise everything was better than expected! Open spacious property and very nice indoor/outdoor pool.

We really enjoyed our stay. The place is beautiful, well kept, and had everything we needed. The beds and pillows were beyond comfortable — we all slept so well. The location is great and convenient to everything. Check-in is not directly at the property but just up the road, which was simple once we knew where to go. One thing to note: during windy nights, the gusts can be quite loud. We experienced strong winds one evening and you could definitely hear them throughout the night. I personally found it peaceful and cozy, but if you’re sensitive to noise while sleeping, it’s something to keep in mind. Overall, a wonderful stay and we would absolutely return.

Excellent place, very nice and private. Special to rest, very close to restaurants and supermarket. 100% recommended. The service is excellent.

Wonderful stay, pool is fantastic.

This Airbnb is probably in the top 3 best I've stayed at. It was SO beautiful! It was also very central, so all our excursions were only about 10-20 minutes away. Bars, restaurants and markets are literally within a 3 to 8 minute drive. Marty and team were super helpful, super communicative and super friendly. My only complaint is the lack of an AC unit. It was fine at first, but the last night was super hot and humid (however, there is a dehumidifier, I just forgot to turn it on and it wouldn't have helped the temp much.) Outside of that, absolutely fantastic stay, fantastic location and fantastic host.

We liked the proximity to the town of Monteverde and shops & restaurants as well as easy treks to the main eco attractions. The place was plenty spacious for our two couple party with separate baths. Hot water was temperamental but the front desk staff was responsive. The kitchen was well outfitted though tight and does not include an oven. We prepared one stove top meal and ate out the remaining evenings. The heated pool was a welcome amenity after our morning adventures. In all - we recommend this villa.

The pictures accurately represent the rental. I wish I would have paid closer attention to the fact that there are no screens on windows or screen doors. This is important because there is no air conditioning and you rely on the fresh air to cool the unit. The rental was clean, but they use those gel air fresheners under the beds and it was so strong we had to open the house to try and “air out” the smell as we arrived. The pool, which my kids were very excited to use, was extremely warm/hot and not clean. They are children and not picky (they just want to swim) and that is how they described it in their own words. The location is within good proximity to town and activities. The highlight of this rental was the response time and helpfulness from Chira Glamping (who manages the place and who you check in with to get the keys) and was why I gave the place 4 stars.

I love everything about our experience at this charming cottage except the sleeping. The host was great - helpful, responsive, flexible, easy to check in, etc. The cottage was located for peaceful enjoyment - we were here for New Years and hear nothing at all from anyone celebrating anywhere - that’s the definition of peaceful location. The pool was great - my kids thoroughly enjoyed. The cottage was well equipped in the kitchen and the beds were wonderfully comfortable and bathrooms beautiful and functional. Our issue was with sleeping. We were here during intense winds and because the trees are not trimmed or pruned around the cottage all night you hear the horrid noise of the branches scraping the metal roof and branches breaking and landing on them. All night. Children freaked out - in our bed - no one slept for 2 nights - you can’t escape the sound of the branches scraping the roof - like fingernails on a chalkboard horrid. Love this place but we need sleep.

Magical place! Everything was so clean and comfortable. My kids absolutely loved their room with the reading loft, and having two (gorgeous) bathrooms was a luxury. The setting is beautiful. The heated pool was an unusual plus in Monteverde and we took full advantage of it. We had already booked a Selvatura package before we got there, but on our last morning we decided we should do a guided reserve tour—we called Douglas about it at 7:45 and our wonderful guide Marcos was at our door at 8:30! Amazing. (And then we got to see the resplendent quetzal with him!) we have had good luck with AirBnBs but this may have been our best ever. Highly recommend!

The accommodation was very clean. The teens loved the reading area at the top of their room. We had a lot of rain and great winds during our stay. The tin roof makes sure that during the night with rain and wind it's really noisy. I suggest traffic jams. The location is very good and the welcome is perfect. They are at your service from what's app. For those arriving by car from the Fortuna, I strongly suggest a 4X4 SUV. The road is really bad. Coming to Monteverde, you are ok. We really enjoyed the Italian restaurant Bon Appétit.

We loved our stay in Monteverde. The cabin was perfect for our stay. Kitchen had plenty of items for cooking and some basic supplies (oil, salt, and salsa). Marty was an amazing host, always responsive to questions and helped us book our tours cheaper then the sites. We ended up booking our zip-line, night tour and chocolate tour through him. Super helpful on local recommendations and anything we needed. The pool was amazing for the kids. We saw birds and a toucan in the trees when we swam. Kids enjoyed the loft overhead to hang out in. We would stay here again.

wonderful! stay, host, was very responsive and helpful with recommendations and helping us book an activity too. space was great for a family giving the kids space to play and sleep. close and convenient to town. the swimming pool wasn't added bonus while traveling with two pre-teens.

It would have been perfect if the check-in instructions (codes for gate and key, name of cottage) had automatically been sent to us several days before our arrival since we did not have before checking in. Beautiful place, great location within walking distance to Santa Elena with its restaurants, small shops and grocery store. The pool was great for the kids, as was the little reading nook in their room accessible by stairs and a ladder. The master bedroom was great and the bathroom was enormous with a massive shower…the only issue is that the tiny shower head was dwarfed by the size of the shower enclosure…it should have been a large rain shower head like in the kids’ bathroom, and after all we are in the middle of a cloud/rain forest. Aside from the scorpion in the main room on our first day, and the way the place heats up like a greenhouse in the morning from all the sun coming in through the windows, everything went well. Marty was really helpful with booking spots on tours etc.

The house is beautiful, just like the photos, a very safe private complex of 3 houses. We rented the two-bedroom house which was also the closest to the pool, which is closed and the water heated, ideal for the climate of Monteverde. The house is close to downtown Monteverde, about 1 km away, that is, close to restaurants, supermarkets, pharmacy and everything you need. The Chira Glamping staff recommends attractions that suit their interests and helps you book any attraction or activity in addition to helping with any recommendations you need. The only thing I would put to the house is that it needs a closet in the main room. It was a problem not to have a closet especially in the main one, the other room had a piece of furniture that served to accommodate your clothes and personal things. We would definitely go back to the same place and recommend it to anyone who wants an excellent stay in Monteverde

Wonderful place to stay if you're in the Monteverde region. It was perfect to two couples or a small family. The kitchen was well stocked with all the essentials. There was even a full jar of ground coffee beans. One highlight was the excellent service by the property managers - they helped to jump our car battery one morning and assisted in obtaining tickets to the Sky Adventures Park for zip lining. We would definitely stay here again.

Casa Monteverde is a quiet retreat in a beautiful place. The rooms were large and well-appointed, with very comfortable beds, and we had all we needed in the kitchen. If televisions are important to you, they are only in the bedrooms (worked for us). The walk to get up to the property was steep, but we found it was easy to drive into town and find parking when needed. The staff are friendly and helpful. Definitely take advantage of San Lucas, the associated restaurant - one of the best dinner experiences we ever had!

We had an amazing stay! The place was exactly as advertised, very clean, and the beds were so comfortable. The highlight was the extremely helpful and accommodating reception staff. Thank you for everything!

Very nice stay. True to pictures and value for money. The house was in walking distance of the town, restaurants, shops etc. Check-in and -out was easy and the reception at Chira Glamping were very helpful when booking tours and giving advice. We had a windy and rainy stay in Monteverde and so the house was a bit cold. Also, the internet connection is a bit on/off, have patience. Overall a very good stay for a couple of days in Monteverde

This place is simply exquisite. The photos do not do it justice. It has recently been refurbished and more furniture and rugs added (which the photos don't show). The main living area is large and airy and was perfect for the four of us. The kitchen had enough space for us to cook easily with a cooktop and big fridge. The bedrooms are spacious and one of them has a loft area that we used for meditation and reading. There are dressers with 6 drawers but no closets for hanging clothes. The pool area is screened in, just a few steps down from the house itself. Check in was a breeze -- you go next door to the Chira Glamping site and the attendant has the key to the house. The street is quiet and on an exceedingly steep hill. We walked up and down several times each day and by the end of our stay, that steep hill did not seem so steep. We did several canopy and suspension bridge tours and would recommend them. All in all, an amazing 4 nights.

We loved our stay at Marty’s Green Forest 2 bedroom house. The place was very clean and had everything we needed to make our family of five feel at home.. Having a warm pool to swim in with a beautiful view was such a nice addition. Our kids loved having games to play both in the home and at the pool. We chose to drive to town since our schedule normally didn’t allow us the time to walk. The hill to and from town is steep and although it is a doable, our kids were already tired from our daily adventuring. Marty was also an incredibly responsive host. It was a wonderful stay!

A super cozy place and good space. Beautiful construction and excellent service. A perfect location very close to everything. We had a wonderful time.

In general, the cabin, location, service, facilities and cleaning are quite good. The place is very nice and allows a lot of connection with nature, it is in an exclusive place. The only 2 not so positive comments are, there is no BBQ, although it comes out as amenities features, and we also received a call for noise although we were told that we could take some freedom because we were the only ones on the site and the next day they wanted to take us out before the pool.

Host Response

Tenemos una politica clara que no se permiten fiestas de ningun tipo, en este caso lamentablemente hasta la policia tuvo que intervenir por constante quejas de nuestros vecinos tuvimos que tomar medidas adicionales para evitar una situacion similar.
