The home is absolutely gorgeous, with thoughtful details throughout. We've been to Monteverde a few times, and this has by far been our favorite place to stay. The atmosphere is peaceful, the surroundings are beautiful, and every corner of the home feels cozy and welcoming. It’s clear that a lot of care has gone into making this a truly special place. We can't wait to come back!
They undersold this place! Our stay was a 6/5! Great house, great views, great location, great walking paths! By far our best stay in Costa Rica! Book this place with absolute peace of mind!
My wife and two teenage girls had a wonderful time at this special place. The house was well-outfitted, and there was space for all of us. The location cant be beat. You really feel like you're somewhere special and out of the way, but the drive into town and around to attractions was easy.

This property is amazing. It’s cool to wake up to the birds singing each morning.
Our stay was amazing. The property is wonderful. Every morning we sat on the deck with coffee and watched the hummingbirds feasting on the flowers on the bank just below us. I can’t recommend Casa Mia enough.
We absolutely loved this place! All of the windows make you feel so connected with the beautiful nature outside. We enjoyed waking up in the mornings and seeing/listening to the birds. There was a nearby tree on the property with several nests of Montezuma Oropendolas which was a highlight of our stay. The space was clean and comfortable and our host Oscar was so friendly and kind. We hope to return on day if we revisit the area. Gracias Oscar!
Great location if you don’t mind the 10 minute drive into Santa Elena. So peaceful and many hummingbirds and butterflies in the beautiful gardens. The house had everything you needed and it was clean and comfortable. A perfect 3 day holiday in the mountains.
Great location and very nice house in the cloud forest. Great host, very quick to respond to our inquiries. Of all the place we stayed in Costa Rica, this was easily our favorite. We would have stayed more than 2 days if we would have known!

We liked everything about this property. A truly wonderful home with extraordinarily thoughtful hosts who provided great bread and fresh eggs. Beautiful home and surroundings. Restaurants and activities were just a few minutes away by car. We absolutely plan to return.
It was paradise from the house of glass to the cloud forest at our doorstep with a trail through a large property of glorious Mountain View’s with birds, plants, streams, in a botanical jungle.
The view was they only thing better then the house. Great location. Easy to communicate with the property manager. Clean and comfortable. Fun hiking trail on the grounds.
We spent 4 nights at this beautiful place. House and environment are exactly as described even better. Very well equipped. The house is close to several attractions and the city of St-Elena. We strongly recommend.
Comfortable, fun house with an absolutely incredible view of the forest. The porches are perfect rain or shine and the extended yard down the trail is great for observing birds and butterflies. Felt immersed in the countryside. Close enough to town that going out is relatively quick and easy. Road into the house was in good shape.
Although it is a bit challenging (for an average American) to get to the property via winding road (partly gravel and partly one lane), the view and location are stunning. The feeling of being in a middle of the forest with mountains and a stream running at the bottom of the valley, symphony of birds and moving leaves and cicadas. It all comes with panoramic views out of all living areas and bedrooms and all modern conveniences. Bathrooms and showers are nice and WiFi works well. Would recommend a 4x4 car to get there.We all loved it and would want to return.
This is our second stay at Casa Mia. We love the setting and the house fits us perfectly. From our balcony we could see lots and lots of birds, even a troupe of monkeys came through to entertain us. Oscar and his wife are great hosts. Fresh flowers in the house! Fresh eggs and a loaf of bread were enough for two breakfasts for the four of us. Comfy beds. Can’t ask for more! We’ll be back again.
Nestled in the cloud forest, this beautiful well-appointed home was perfect for our 3 days in Monteverde. Oscar was easy to communicate with before and during our trip. We arrived to find fresh eggs and delicious homemade bread in the kitchen. It was a quick drive into town, close to attractions and restaurants. It was hard to leave this wonderful place! Thank you, Oscar for a memorable stop on our CR adventure!
Wonderful home!! Perfect for two couples. Comfortable and well maintained! Best part was the setting. Beautiful, peaceful and lovely! We enjoyed walking the trails around the home and watching the birds from the decks off the bedrooms. Short drive to Santa Elena and plenty of restaurants closer. Kitchen was small but workable with 2 burner induction system & toaster oven.
We had a wonderful time at this beautiful property in the cloud forest. We only stayed 3 nights and the weather was cloudy and rainy most of the time but that’s why they call it the cloud forest. The property was a short drive from town, beautiful view and full of flowers and birds. The owners left us fresh eggs and bread and lovely fresh flowers. Would highly recommend and would definitely return.
We loved our stay at Casa Mia. The home and the surrounding property are beautiful. On the day of arrival we were greeted with fresh eggs, a loaf of bread and coffee, such a nice touch. There is a lovely one mile walk you can do around Oscar and Juana’s property that is super nice. There are big windows in the home that overlook the surrounding jungle. The hummingbirds, parrots, and toucans were wonderful to see each day. Do keep in mind that bedrooms and bathrooms are up some stairs that are a bit steep. There’s is no “hot tub” as stated in the listing but there are two nice walk in showers.
The owner Juana was so nice and gave us suggestions of things to see in the area.
The Monteverde area is stunning to see and the home was a wonderful place to be at the end of each day. We would most definitely stay there again.
The pictures for Casa Mia do not do it justice. The property is nestled down a quiet dirt road and surrounded by nature. The views were incredible. There is a stream that runs thru the property that plays its own symphony while you sleep. The balcony wraps around 2 sides of the house making it easy to sit outside and explore the wildlife amongst the trees. A property close by had cattle that grazed on a nearby field that you could enjoy watching through the trees.
We were greeted by a beautiful woodpecker in the morning, there are hummingbirds galore to see and a wide array of other birds and critters to keep your eyes wandering. Highly recommend having binoculars on hand.
We toured Cafe Monteverde coffee farm and give it high praises as well. Hanging bridges is a must, WITH a tour guide. Any of the trail walks are best with a guide as they see what we don’t. Come prepared for it to be colder in the mountains, bring mosquito wipes with deets, they worked very well.
Oscar and his wife made sure we got there safe and stayed in communication with us throughout our stay. We felt safe the entire time. It was a pleasant surprise to see that they provided with fresh eggs, coffee and a loaf of bread in the kitchen.
We were sad to leave this little slice of heaven in the clouds.
We had a great stay at Casa Mia in Monteverde area! Oscar and Juana are great hosts, everything was perfect for our arrival. We got there after dark and got turned around and Oscar was kind enough to meet us and lead us to the house. (Just a tip, Casa Mia did not show up for us on Waze or Google Maps when we were leaving Liberia but if you search again when you get near Santa Elena it will show up. For Google Maps, use “Monteverde Casa Mia”)
The house and the grounds are beautiful, we loved sitting up on the raised patio in the evenings under a blanket and having some drinks. Just looking out in the mornings and afternoons from the patio you will see many hummingbirds. At night, you hear the breeze, the stream below and the rain on the roof.
The bread and eggs were a great addition for an easy breakfast, there are some small supermarkets not too far away that have the essentials. For restaurants, Bon Appetit is very close, has great food and atmosphere but a little pricey. The hamburgers and beers at Monteverde Brewing Company were very good. Taco Taco was our favorite - the fish and pork tacos were great and for drinks, the cazuela was very tasty.
The house is within 30 minutes of the Monteverde Park. We visited Selvatura Park & walked the hanging bridges loop and also walked through the sloth and butterfly exhibits and had lunch at the restaurant there. Also recommend one of the night wildlife tours. Great visit!
