We had a great time at this quaint house. Plenty of space. Nice views.

Large residence, suitable for large groups. located close to Santa Elena , and very close to Monteverde cloud preserve.

The house was cozy, but it needs brighter lights it was a bit dim throughout the house. Need to fix stove/burners and refrigerator not getting very cold. Besides that the rest of the house was comfortable.

Our first trip to Costa Rica and Casa Valentina was a GREAT choice for us in Monteverde! Our group of 9 had plenty of room and we weren’t lacking any amenities! The location and views were amazing! The host was very attentive to our needs and made sure we arrived safely. She offered many suggestions, such as tours and food, for us to enjoy our stay. My only regret is that we probably should have stayed longer, but I’ll keep that in mind for our next stay at Casa Valentina!!’

This is a unique property! We enjoyed it, but we were not prepared for so much wind and rain. It would be good if the owners provided hooks or more hangers or a hall tree to hang wet raincoats on. We rented the whole place. My adult daughters had the separate suite where you have to walk outside. The ceiling leaked due to heavy rain, but property managers came the next day to adddress it. We lost power twice, once for about 2 hours and the other time we did not have it when we returned at the end of the day and it came on in about 45 minutes. We had candles. That they provide, you can still cook on the gas stove, still light the fireplace and still use the water without electricity. Just be mentally/ emotionally prepared. We ended up playing games in front of the fire and it was great. We were there in January and we used the gas fire every night, so cozy! The main room could use more light in the evening, 2 or more floor lamps would do it. I polled the 6 of us and we collectively decided to give it 5 stars despite the leaks :) Also it is 1 km to Monteverde and also close to Curi Cancha preserve and children’s eternal rain forest so a good location overall.

Grande maison avec trois espaces distincts. Maison originale dans sa conception. Très proche du parc national de Monteverde. Présence d humidité.

The house was adequate for us but did have some issues. The floors were recently highly waxed which made them very slippery. We wiped as much of the excess wax off the floor with towels but it was still very slippery. Also, neither of the 2 stoves worked in the kitchen. All the water faucets leaked. The layout of the house is very strange and the photos are misleading of the number and placement of rooms. The large room with 4 beds can’t be accessed from the main house. The entrance is outside. The bed in the upstairs above the kitchen was very hard and uncomfortable. The attic room is accessible via an attic ladder that blocks the door to the bathroom when down. There are some great things about the property. The location is great if you’re wanting to spend a lot of time in the cloud forest. There was a little garden with a small water feature that tadpoles, froglets and frogs were living. It was a highlight to our stay! Also, we had the opportunity to watch 2 kinkajou in the tree tops our last night. In summary, the house served its purpose, but I wouldn’t stay there again most likely.

Beautifully decorated and unique house with an amazing outdoor space and view. Very easy to find and get inside. The hostess was always accessible via email and checked on us to make sure that we were happy. The rooms set up is suitable for a family or group who don't require privacy. There is one room with a queen bed and one room with sleeping for 5, accessed from outside the house. The upstairs and loft room are all open to each other. It was perfect for our family of 10. The loft stairs are for adventurous types. If you would climb a bunk bed, you would be fine in the loft. Likely one of the best houses in Monteverde despite some quirks.
