Guest Reviews

• Isabel (10/5): Beautiful property and kind host - We had an incredible time staying at Ana’s. Her property was beautiful - the incredible views of the mountains and her meditation garden were spectacular and we saw a rainbow over the cloud forest every morning while eating breakfast. It was magical! Ana was very kind and gave us recommendations and delicious breakfast. She went above and beyond even helping us set up a tour at El Tigre Waterfalls.
• Laurence (7/5): Good value bed and breakfast for seeing Monteverde - This was a good value place to stay on the edge of Santa Elena. Our room was compact, with a comfortable bed, good storage space, and an en suite bathroom with shower. There was not hot water in the sink, but there was in the shower beside it. Breakfast was provided. The site is secure (gated) with parking. The upstairs where we had breakfast has a great view out over the mountains. There is a small garden and yard to stroll or sit in outside. The host, Ana, was very helpful and informative and spoke English. There are nearby restaurants a short walk away for other meals (a soda and the brewery / pub next door). Several things to note about location: If you do not have a vehicle, Santa Elena / Monteverde is spread out and hilly. It is about a 1 km walk to the centre of town from the B&B. Tourist sites would require a vehicle to reach. Secondly, the entrance to Jardin de la Diosa is quite hidden. It it literally right next to the Monteverde brewery up a gravel lane, but the gate is not visible from the road. One you enter the uphill gravel lane, the metal gate will be immediately visible on your left. When we arrived we had given an arrival time and the gate was open. While we stayed, we were given a key fob to open and close it. Once you pass through the gate, you proceed up a long, narrow treed lane to the house, where there is parking and turnaround space. Finally, the lane into the B& B is not really accessible if driving in from the west as it is a sharp right hairpin turn uphill that is very difficult to navigate. Best go past and turn around to come back from the east to enter the lane. If coming from the east (from the Santa Elena town) it is an easy turn off to the left immediately past the brewery. It was as we expected for the cost. This is simple, comfortable, secure accommodation.
• Pierre (10/5): Un séjour hôtes du temps. - Le calme et la proximité des activités.
• Randall (10/5): - Claro, lindo lugar. NA
• Emma (9/5): - Friendly staff (Anna was lovely!). Great sceneic garden views and excellent breakfast. Good location, parking and good value for money.
• Simone_Andrea (10/5): - Wer etwas besonderes sucht ist hier richtig. Es gibt nur wenige Zimmer und daher ist es sehr persönlich hier. Ana lebt hier ihren Traum und das spürt in und sieht man. Viel Liebe zum Detail, überall Kunst und ein ganz besonderer Garten mit esoterischen Stationen. Man wird sehr liebevoll empfangen und behandelt.
• Karl (10/5): Ein perfekter Aufenthalt - Das Haus von Ana liegt sehr ruhig inmitten eines wunderschönen Gartens. Ana ist Künstlerin und hat den Garten und die Zimmer mit viel Liebe persönlich gestaltet. Bei gutem Wetter haben wir das Frühstück auf der Veranda eingenommen, mit Blick in den Garten. Pünktlich um sechs morgens kam wie angekündigt ein ganzer Schwarm Tukane vorbei. Ana ist eine herzliche und fürsorgliche Gastgeberin, die uns gleich mit guten Tipps unterstützt hat, z.B. wo wir den besten Sonnenuntergang genießen können. Wenn wir wieder mal nach Monteverde kommen, dann nur hierher. Vielen Dank für den schönen Aufenthalt. Nichts
• Telge (9/5): Wir würden auf jeden Fall wieder bei Ana übernachten. - ArteSAna ist eine etwas andere Unterkunft im positive Sinne: man lebt praktisch bei Ana zu Hause, dh man frühstückt bei ihr in der Küche und hat einen regen Austausch mit Ihr. Dafür war unserer Zimmer (wir hatten als Paar das kleinste) lediglich ok. Der Blick in den Garten ist traumhaft, die Atmosphäre super schön. Die Lage zu bspw 100% Aventura oder dem Nebelwald ist top. Zimmer war ok.
• Laurent (9/5): - Hôte très sympathique et de bons conseils. Petit déjeuner extra. Salle de bain / wc un peu petite et séparée de la chambre par un rideau. Pas d'eau chaude le 1er jour, mais Ana a vite réglé le problème.
• María Ángeles (7/5): Un hogar con buena energía - Las energías de Ana y su marido son preciosas. Nos acogieron como si fuéramos familiares. Atención cariñosa y un desayuno muy completo. Las habitaciones calentitas porque son de madera y sensuales. El jardín maravilloso, es toda una experiencia hacer la ruta del silencio. El acceso a la vivienda es un poco incómodo.
• Luronium (7/5): -
• Anouk (9/5): Relaxed garden stay, just off busy road, good location for days out. - Just off the main road so easy access, although we don’t have a car so getting to shops and cafes means walking on the road. We staying in the apartment which is clean and well catered for and we prepared our own breakfasts. Could do with a chopping board. There’s a lovely walk for amazing sunset Cerro Pinoccio but it was a long walk along a busy road. I was hoping there would’ve more wildlife in the garden and on our doorsteps. We did see toucans in the tree once and some other birds.
• Alice (10/5): -
• IGNACIO (8/5): Lugar místico. - Ana es una persona muy amable y preocupada de atender bien. El entorno del lugar es muy bonito. Que el baño no tenga una puerta que lo separe de la habitación. Sólo hay una cortina.
• Pauline (10/5): Tranquillité, belle vue et très bon accueil - Le logement est très bien placé. C’est un endroit tranquille avec une très belle vue. L’hôte est très accueillante et pleines de bons conseils. Super petit déjeuner /
• John (10/5): - The hospitality and the kindness of the host was Top Notch The overall View and the comfort of the entire property was wonderful. The food was the best I've ever had
• Linda (10/5): Would stay here again! - Great location. Host was incredibly helpful and friendly. Breakfast was excellent and very convenient. Enjoyed that we were just on the outskirts of town, but close to everything
• Anonymous (10/5): It was absolutely brilliant! - It was absolutely beautifully maintained and brought us right up to the natural world. We saw so many incredible sights even just sitting on the porch in the morning N/A
• Arooj (10/5): A true gem in Monteverde - super clean, serene and comfortable - We loved the gardens, the home, the rooms, the lovely dogs Chika and Alaca, the great breakfast Ana made every day - how perfectly clean and serene everything was! We also had a sloth visitor (Alicia) in the backyard every day! I was so happy here I wished I could stay longer! We had a great stay and would love to visit again. Cannot recommend Ana’s place enough. Nothing - it really was perfect.
• Sam (9/5): Superb -
• Nils (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ismene (10/5): Exceptional - The host was very attentive and helpful. The place was beautiful and surrounded by nature.

• Nikunj (10/5): Beautiful - Anna is an amazing and warm host!!
• Kate (10/5): Exceptional - Ana was a fabulous host, giving us great tips for things to do and preparing lovely breakfasts with good company. It was really nice to be outside of the really busy town area, yet close enough to everything. We would definitely stay there again!
• Sophie (10/5): Peaceful stay next to the cloud forests - We had such a great time at Ana’s. She’s a great host, as is her family. Flexible when we arrived later than expected. Great recommendations. The whole place is peaceful, beautiful, with a garden in which you can meander. It was also nice that it was so close to the brewery for a drink or food. Ana recommended a good guide for a night tour where we saw a lot of wildlife. And we hiked around in the cloud forests. Could5 have found a better place.
• Irmak (9/5): Superb - The freeing mountain house feeling, the view, the garden, the sunsets, the animals you can randomly see from the balcony on the trees and in the garden, the kindness of Ana, the dogs and the cat… So many things to love here!
• Charissa (9/5): Lovely place - What a lovely place, Ana and her boyfriend are so kind and helpful. the garden was also amazing, we saw some beautiful birds.
• Len (10/5): Relaxation - We really enjoyed our time in ArteSAna! We stayed only for two days,I wished we could have stayed longer. You feel relaxed and close to nature here. Everything was clean. Anna was friendly, hospitable and communicative. We loved her two dogs! She has created a place with a unique energy that matches her own. Thank you Anna, hope to see you again in the future! We had a car so it was easy for us to go to town of Santa Elena I dont know how easy it can be if someone has to walk
• Michael (10/5): Exceptional -
• Stephanie (10/5): Exceptional - Ana has created a very nice hideaway closely to Monteverde. The apartment was very cute and lovely decorated with lots of details. We had a small kitchen and loved making our own food there. Ana was so lovely and helpful, making reservations for us and helping us with nice recommendations in the area. Lovely stay, highly recommended!
• Peeters (10/5): Exceptional - Really tasty breakfast and beautiful place with a nice garden and a nice room. Ana is really lovely
• Lisa (10/5): Exceptional -
• Valentina (8/5): Very good - Beautiful garden and cozy bed. Dogs are very quiet. There is a kitchen but it was hard to cook as a lot was missing: no tea towel, no pasta/rice strainer, only 1 pan that sticks, no good knife…
• Iva (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was perfect! Ana is an amazing host, very friendly, gave us good recommendations on what to do in the area and even booked us a canopy tour. The room is big, comfortable, with everything needed and with amazing views of the gorgeous garden. N/A
• Rod (8/5): Very good - Great host
• Heather (9/5): Magical retreat from the real world. Beautiful sunsets and welcoming atmosphere - Ana has a wonderful little hidden-away retreat. We enjoyed exploring the gardens and watching sunsets from the porches. We liked chatting with Ana and getting to know about her art and philosophies.
• Lies (10/5): The best place to stay! - Ana is the best. Her place is the best. Cannot describe it any other way. The view is amazing, close to everything, clean and nice rooms with kitchenette. WE LOVED IT and felt right at home. Hope to see you again some day. Thank you for everything
• Viktoria (10/5): Anna is a great host, very nice and welcoming. It’s a beautiful house with great vibes. The view from the balcony is als - Anna is a great host, very nice and welcoming. It’s a beautiful house with great vibes. The view from the balcony is also very nice. Great place to stay! And the dogs are super friendly and cute! -
• Mattia (9/5): Superb - Beautiful house in the middle of the green hills of Monteverde. The view from the room was simply stunning, especially at sunset. Ana was a great host and she took good care of us. Good and quiet location.
• Sylvie (10/5): Exceptional -
• Marlena (8/5): Very good - The apartment we stayed in was very comfortable, it had everything that we needed. The internet was working fine, and the kitchen was well-equipped too. It also comprises lots of Ana's art which is a bonus. The host is friendly and helpful :) It is outside town and it's good for visiting Monteverde and Santa Elena but there was nothing interesting in the immediate neighborhood nature-wise. The property has a mini trail, but that's it. The apartment also turned out to be on a ground floor so we could not fully enjoy views/sunsets. Overall, it's a very good base for cloud forests, but just to get the expectations rights, it's not one of these green lodges you can find in the area.
• Alek (9/5): Wonderful Artistic Room on the Mountainside - Really a nice room with a great panoramic view from the mountainside, perfect at sunset. The room is spacious and comfortable, with plenty of storage even for two people travelling. Ana the host is really kind and helpful with local information, and made delicious breakfasts each morning. I'd love to stay at ArteSana again, and I'd recommend it to others as well. Not a problem for us, but be aware that getting up to the property requires a climb up a small hill on a gravel road from the main road.
• Krbcova (10/5): Special place in Monteverde - The place and room is simple but beautiful with special atmosphere. We had the upstairs room which was spacious and well equipped. Beautiful views were a bonus. The host is super lovely and very helpful. WiFi connection was good. Location is a bit out of main village/town but still 5 mins by car and it’s in between all the main attractions in the area so it’s actually quite convenient.
• Mieke (10/5): a place like home - Tranquil place away from traffic and noise, splendid views, very friendly owner
• Donna (10/5): Exceptional -
• Tico07 (8/5): Very good - We were met by the host, who is very friendly and gave us a lot of advice on places to visit in the area. We had a room, so we didn't have access to a kitchen, which we thought we had, but it was still ok. The views from the room are amazing, sunsets there are just magnificent!
• Roxanne (10/5): Lovely 'at-home' feel on your adventurous vacation in CR - We loved everything about this stay! Ana was very accommodating, and she even went out of her way to help us make reservations for ziplining. The breakfast was delicious, and the view/sunset from the room was outstanding. I also really loved her sheets/bed - very comfortable. Close to Monteverde National Park and other restaurants in town. We don't have anything bad to say!
• Karina (10/5): Perfect stay for your Monteverde visit! - Very friendly owner who are open and helpful with anything you need anytime; yummy breakfast with fresh fruits, coffee and everyday different side dishes (ask for Costa Rican food); super located near Santa Elena restaurants, cafés, supermarkets etc; and tranquility in the apartment and surrounding with a beautiful view over the mountains and to the ocean! —
• Roman (10/5): Perfect - Excellent accommodation with charismatic hostess. Nothing
• Giesbrecht (10/5): Lovely find in paradise - Everything was great. It was a welcoming stay. Ana and her dad were friendly breakfast company. Breakfast was delicious. The accomodations were comfortable with a nice view of the lovely gardens and the nicoya peninsula. Ana gave me a tour of her pottery workshop... I went home with some beautiful art pieces too.
• Caitlin (9/5): Superb - We loved our stay here with Ana, the apartment is lovely with everything you need for a short stay. The location is a bit outside the town but wasn't an issue for us, Ana was extremely helpful when we arrived and helped us organise a few activities during our stay. Her dogs were also a big highlight! Nothing, we loved it
• Lawrence (9/5): Wonderful place to stay. - The property is on a beautiful setting and is very clean. The host is very helpful.
• Michael (10/5): Best host ever! - Beautiful surroundings - great atmosphere of place. Ana is a fantastic host, caring and extremely helpful. We had forgotten something in our room at check out and Ana arranged to get it to our next destination. Muchos gracias Ana! nothing
• Anonymous (8/5): Very good -
• Melissa (10/5): Exceptional -
• Karolina (10/5): Exceptional - This is a place with a soul. Anna is extremely friendly and her presence makes the stay very special. The house and the room has a wonderful view, we were enjoying beautiful sunsets there. The room is very spacious and warm. The shower is tricky to use.
• Planners (10/5): Exceptional - Ana is a great host, it was a great visit with her at her property in such a beautiful area of Costa Rica. Every detail was excellent, we highly recommend this!
• Lydia (10/5): Amazing view and warm welcome - Ana’s place has the most incredible view from the room and the whole property, it must be the best view in Monteverde! It is close to everything that you want to do, a short drive to all the different reserves and very quick drive to town for dinner/supermarket etc. We had a very warm welcome and the breakfast was excellent. She has a lovely garden with lots of different paths you can walk around, and the dogs may come for the stroll too! It is a very peaceful place which you can enjoy the nature of monteverde. nothing!! it was a great stay, definitely recommend.
• Susan (10/5): Peaceful and relaxing stay - Ana’s property is beautiful! Spacious and comfortable with a fabulous view of the garden. Ana organised transport to the cloud forest and for a night walk that was a short walk up the road. Perfect setting with a Brewery on the Doorstep and a gorgeous bakery a short walk away.
• Amy (10/5): Exceptional - The location was great for accessing the cloud forest. She recommended a great night hike located just a short walk from the property. The town of Santa Elena is a short 5 minute drive away. The grounds of the property are really beautiful and well taken cared for. The energy was very peaceful and calm. Ana was very responsive, helpful and very kind. I would highly recommend!
