We really enjoyed our stay. The owner was incrediblely kind and hospitable and very familair with the region snd guiding us to the best activites. He preped the unit in afvanace even though our arrival was really late at night. The room was so classical and beautiful. The region and neighborhood was very safe. Overall all aspect of our stay there was very smooth and well taken care off. We slept to the sound of the mountainous wind every night and enjoyed the climate up in Montoverde. I highly recommend this accommodation to tourists. The affordability was amazing. Overall don't hesitant to book your stay here.

La chambre que nous avions avait une prise de courant qui sortait du mur, la télé était enlevé, le robinet était très fragile, aucune au froide et on entend tout dehors et dans les autres chambres. Le personnel parle seulement espagnol.

Zimmer wurde leider aufgrund eines Wasserschadens kurzfristig storniert. Das Geld haben wir noch nicht zurückbekommen. Außerdem war es schwierig und teuer so kurzfristig eine neue Unterkunft zu bekommen.
