We enjoyed our stay at Rancho de Lelo. The staff was welcoming, knowledgeable, and friendly. They booked activities for us in Monteverde and recommended a great restaurant. The breakfast was quick and fresh. It was a pretty property though we didn’t get to explore much as we spent most of our time up in Monteverde.

We had an amazing stay and truly enjoyed every moment here. The location is beautiful and surrounded by nature: one of our highlights was watching a family of toucans right in the tree near our accommodation. It made the whole experience feel very special and unforgettable. The hosts were incredibly kind, welcoming, and helpful throughout our stay. The breakfast was delicious every morning, fresh and lovingly prepared. The room was clean, comfortable, and we felt very relaxed during our time here. The drive down into the valley was definitely adventurous because of the road construction, but once you arrive, the stunning scenery and peaceful atmosphere make it absolutely worth it. We would happily come back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a unique and relaxing stay surrounded by nature.

Nice spot. Great view. One of the cheaper places to stay in Monteverde. Free breakfast is a bonus and they have a pool you can use anytime. The host was friendly and helpful. You do get a few small insects in the room but not many. It is a bit in out of the way so you want a vehicle if you're staying there.

Very peaceful spot! The hosts are very kind and welcoming, and offer good support on how to get around the area and what to do. Don’t be afraid of the road in — it’s very manageable. Breakfast was delicious! Just be aware that it is not in town or walkable to restaurants, etc (20 min drive), but the cabins have a fridge and the hosts generously allow use of the kitchen with microwave, etc. We loved our stay — thank you Beatriz and family!
