Monteverde Villa Lodge

A family lodge, gardens and a walk into town

A ten-minute walk from Santa Elena’s center brings you to Monteverde Villa Lodge, where tropical gardens give simple accommodation a welcoming setting. This affordable, family-run ecolodge favors personal service and an uncomplicated stay: a place to rest after exploring, with town close enough to be part of your everyday plans.

Keep an interval free for the gardens, or use the barbecue grill and picnic area for time with your traveling companions. Wi-Fi internet and private parking help with arrangements between outings. The lodge is a modest base for a trip in which the landscape takes the leading role, with enough space in the day to enjoy being back at your accommodation.

From the forest floor to the canopy

Monteverde’s protected highland forests shelter rare and endangered bird species, making birdwatching a compelling reason to explore. Hanging bridges let you walk into the canopy for a different perspective; ziplining offers a more energetic encounter with the treetops. None of those outings requires you to turn the hotel into the largest part of your travel budget.

The accommodation choices offer different levels of comfort. Standard Rooms have beds and private bathrooms; Family Rooms add cable television, and Cabins have cable television and a mini-fridge. Match the space to your party, then build the rest of the stay around the forest, the village and the quieter garden hours at this family-run lodge.
