Monteverde Lodge & Gardens

Monteverde Lodge & Gardens, at the edge of the cloud forest

Monteverde Lodge & Gardens sits in the Tilarán mountains at the edge of the Monteverde cloud forest. The rooms look out over the forest and the lodge's own gardens, so you fall asleep to the sounds of the jungle and wake to the birds.

It suits couples, families and birders who want a quiet, informal lodge with personal service, a fireplace and a good table.

Why we choose it

• Gardens full of birds. The lodge's gardens are planted with native species, which draw birds and other wildlife right to the rooms.
• Dinner worth staying in for. El Jardin, the restaurant, cooks local produce simply, with homemade bread and a good South American wine list.
• A fireplace for the evening. The rustic, elegant lounge has an open fireplace, the right place to end a cool mountain day.

On the property

El Jardin Restaurant serves breakfast and dinner, with local produce and fresh homemade bread at every meal, and the bar is there for a drink at the end of the day. The lodge's private gardens are planted with native species and are full of birds.

For birders, Monteverde is one of the great places in the country. With patience and binoculars you may see the resplendent quetzal, the three-wattled bellbird, a motmot or a fiery-throated hummingbird.

Location and getting there

The lodge is at the edge of the Monteverde cloud forest, a short drive from the reserve entrance and from Selvatura Park. From here we arrange hiking with a naturalist, birdwatching, horseback riding and zip lining, with your own driver.
