CASA GUARUMO MONTEVERDE

Family-friendly and well maintained. We saw more wildlife during our two nights here than our entire trip. Monkeys were on the awning, roof and patio. Great location in the woods but within walking distance to town for those who like to walk. Julieth and Robert were very responsive to provide assistance. Great value for anyone looking for lodging for a larger group.

This property is probably the most amazing property that we’ve ever stayed at. The location was absolutely perfect with an extremely short walk to get to legendary Stella’s Café, the grocery store and two other cafés and restaurants. Our host, Sergio, was very responsive and recommended this incredible Italian restaurant that was just a short 15 minute walk away. The pasta and pizza there were top shelf! The spaciousness of the property cannot be stressed enough. The grounds were immaculate and well maintained by staff who were just as friendly as you could be, and they went out of their way not to disturb us. Every day we saw Morpho butterflies, multiple species of tropical birds, daily visits from a cute agouti and the occasional visit from the monkeys. We had an impromptu concert in the amphitheater with my daughter playing guitar (furnished by the host), my son using his phone for a jazzy drumbeat, and the wife and I trying to sing! My kids also got a kick out of the roosters growing in the distance. We’re also a short walk from an amazing waterfall in a spectacular ravine with wildlife everywhere. The disco room was also pretty fun and there seems to be a bathroom every 20 feet. We are planning on coming back with friends and their families because the property just has so much room, is private and safe and it’s so well designed that everyone has their own space. Truly a gem of a propery and an experience we will not soon forget.

Everything was fantastic, magical, peaceful, accommodating, amenities all included. Ladies that greeted us and gave us the tour of the property were informative and kind.

What a great place to take our extended family. Sergio and his staff were amazingly accommodating and the house itself was perfect! One day I would love to hear the history about the stage/amphitheatre! Absolutely recommend! Stella’s cafe next door was an absolute treat too!

The property was as described and was a nice mix of some modern renovations along with a vintage feel. We loved how it was tucked away under the large trees, and the children absolutely loved the daily monkey visits. The 10 of us mostly spent our time together in the living room area, which has a great open floor plan with high vaulted ceilings. Lush rain forest jungle view off the decks. We had everything we needed to cook meals and enjoy the property thoroughly. Robert and Catalina were very helpful and great hosts/caretakers. The property owners were quick to respond to a few of our initial questions about the area. We also loved how close it was to a small little shopping center with bakery, local restaría y, and groceries, and that you could easily walk to them, a few hundred meters away. The multiple structures made it almost like a private resort. So everyone could have their own privacy and getaway. Extremely convenient to all of the activities that Monteverde has to offer.
