Absolutely amazing experience, pictures didn’t even do the place justice! Beyond grateful to have stayed here. Despite there being some unwelcomed rodents (as expected, seeming that it is in the forest) the hosts were very responsive and willing to support. Overall amazing experience, would HIGHLY recommend.

A perfect stay, except for the dogs that yapped the first night. Very disturbing. But everything else was great. The kitchen was perfectly equipped for cooking for my family. What can I say about the sunset? It was absolutely beautiful.

So: views, views. VIEWS. In my opinion, the main reasons to stay at Casa Cielo are the location and the views. Both are beautiful. And the sunsets—indescribably beautiful, really. Don't book Casa Cielo if you expect comfort, convenience, or if you want to cook full meals. You’d better order from Giselle. She delivers very good, local food directly to the house. Great, nice. So: The comfort is modest, and the drawers squeak. You have to lug your suitcases a bit along an uneven path. And what do you get? A charming, simple cottage? Simply put: an indescribable view.

Casa Cielo was just like the pictures and description in the listing. Actually the views were even better. Incredible sunsets! The property felt very private and you can wander the paths on the property. It isn’t resort luxury but it definitely is cozy comfort. I’d defiantly recommend and would stay again if we get back to that area.

Although we didn't get a chance to meet in person, their attention and instructions made it possible for us to arrive without any problems. The space is very cozy with everything you need to have a pleasant time.

Magical Views & Great Comfort We had a lovely stay at this cabin. The interior was very comfortable, and the highlight was easily the incredible views. Watching the sunrise and sunset from the property was an absolutely magical experience. I also highly recommend spending some time reading in the hammock—it was the highlight of my trip! Note for Hikers One of the main reasons we chose this cabin was for the advertised hiking trails, as hiking in Monteverde can be quite expensive. However, we found the routes around the property difficult to navigate. After spending an hour trying different footpaths, we eventually had to give up because they weren't well-marked.

I cannot say enough about this property. It is beautiful and quiet and extremely comfortable. I was with my two dogs and the trails were great for exploring. We will definitely be back.
