We visited three areas in Costa Rica, thus staying in three different vrbos. This was hands down, our favorite. If you are visiting the Monteverde area or nearby area, this is where you need to stay. When we arrived, the house was filled with the most beautiful, largest hydrangeas we've ever seen. There was also fresh eggs, bread and coffee. We instantly felt like family. What an incredible greeting! The house is perfect for a family of 4. It has everything you need, including extremely comfortable beds and pillows. The pictures do not really do it justice. It sits nestled in a quiet location - very private. The view from the upstairs deck is breathtaking. It is surrounded by flowers, blooming bushes, trees - a perfect sanctuary. There are trails on the property which we walked and they are amazing. It is a quick drive to the "busy" town, yet you are in a very private setting. When we travel, we like to stay busy during the day, then come back to relax in a nice house/setting - this is exactly what the doctor ordered.
