Guest Reviews
- Sameer B (10/5): - Accommodating
- Rick (10/5): Would definitely recommend! - We stayed at the Spanish school. Beautiful buildings and amazing gardens. Great restaurants and bars within easy walking distance. They organised a taxi to take us and pick us up from the night tour we’d booked at Monteverde. Would definitely recommend staying here.
- Shawn (10/5): - Gorgeous grounds and view. Comfortable beds. Great have a kitchen. The water in the shower was terrible! Suddenly it would be ice cold then suddenly blistering hot. We both hated that, but otherwise the apartment was perfect. The housekeeper was awesome!
- Deborah (10/5): - The gardens and view from this property were gorgeous. We didn't need air conditioning because of the lovely breezes in the evenings. The beds were comfortable and the staff on-site very accommodating. It helps to speak Spanish!
- Brigitte (10/5): Lovey Hotel. - The Hotel was lovely. I loved the garden area. The rooms were great. We were met by Nacho who was so wonderful. He helped in making sure we were set up, helped us with arranging activities and really made us feel welcome. I would stay there again. Thank you.
- Ann (8/5): - Lovely grounds! This place needs an upgrade, beds ok, kitchen ok, no comfy area to sit in either inside or out. Andrutt was a great host.
- jeanne (10/5): - Andre was waiting for us. Walked us to the apartment and answered all our questions. I forgot one question and sent a message. It was answered right away. Place was clean and comfortable. Beautiful view from the balcony.
- Karen (10/5): Beautiful Views - Beautiful views and a lovely little apartment. Kitchen had everything we needed to prepare a few meals.
- John (10/5): - Wow what a great place to stay for a night or a month or longer. The place has all you will need to have a fantastic stay. Small kitchen to prepare your own meals if you so choose, dining table to have coffee at and eat. Comfy bed. Was all we needed and more than we expected for the price we paid. Will definitely stay here again if we are ever near Monteverde again. This place I’d perfecto.
- Albert (8/5): - Peaceful place with nice views
- Iris (8/5): - Close to all in Montverde. Beautiful gardens. We had a car so everything was easily accessible. Abit dated but clean and well maintained. I loved the kitchen. A great homebase for Montverde,'s attractions.
- Robert (10/5): - Very nice place, close to brewery and the reserves
- Paul (10/5): A lot of space and nice views. - Realy enjoyed being able to spread all our stuff out and have a base for a few days. Casas del Toro is a large place with beautiful views over MonteVerde. A nice bonus is the laundry room with washer and dryer. Close proximity to town. I saw some monkeys walking to town. Only draw back is the wifi was slow, not the best for video calls. Also, getting in and out of the shower/tub was tough as the tub is high. A stool might help. Otherwise, great stay, with nice parking spot. I would return.
- Sheila (10/5): Staycation at Casas del Toro Monteverde - The area is convenient for travelers. Parking is safe as it is gated.
- Anthony (4/5): - Didn’t even get to stay there. No communication that they had a leak until we arrived. Know it wasn’t their fault about the leak but better/sooner communication would have been better.
- Luis (8/5): - El lugar es único Hermoso
- Maria (10/5): - The garden was very beautiful and we'll maintained. Very friendly staff. The beds were very comfortable. Would recommend and hope to return.
- Alberto (10/5): - Our stay at Casas del Toro was nothing short of excellent! Karen was so helpful and very friendly! Would definitely recommend this to any travelers in Monteverde! Will be returning !
- Deborah P. (8/5): Great value in Monteverde - Located on the campus of CIS, this spacious home has plenty of room to spread out. Layout is strange, lots of uneven stairs not so great for anyone with mobility issues. Stunning, peaceful grounds. Good location. Great value.
- Kyong (8/5): Hidden gem in Monteverde - A little out of the way, but close enough to Santa Elena. A little troublesome for some tours to find you for pick up, but overall very nice.
- Nancy (8/5): - Bathroom odor wasn’t great. Otherwise the suite and gardens and location were great.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - It's a great place to stay, wonderful views of the sunsets over the Pacific.
- VERNA (8/5): - We enjoyed staying at this property. The only drawback was the inconsistency of hot water in the shower. We had two rooms and on both the first and second floors, we experienced hot water shower issues. The water would get hot and then after a minute it would turn completely cold. If we let it run for several minutes more, the hot water would return, only to turn cold again after a minute.
- Karin (8/5): Casa del Toro Monte Verde - Lovely view nice clean condo. The chairs were very uncomfortable and salt and pepper and dishwasher detergent would be nice. The roads getting there were horrific. I wouldnt go back unless i was staying longer.
- Anne (10/5): - The villa we stayed at was amazing and had everything! We were able to cook, do laundry and it was a short walk to restaurants & the downtown area. It was also close to Monteverde Cloud Forest and easy to get there with a transfer. Right outside our villa was also the perfect place to watch the sunset. Communication was easy and the place was easy to find! We definitely recommend people visiting the area to stay here!
- Sheila (8/5): - Loved that there qas a washer and drier to use. Too bad they were out of laundry soap. They siad they would get some there right away. That ended yo the next afternoon. We were there three nights and the drier really helped, no no real worry.
- Lori (8/5): - What a fantastic place to enjoy the beauty of Monteverde. Beds were incredibly comfortable and the courtyard area was beautiful. No A/C, which would have been nice, but we managed. Nice kitchen area which we didn't get to use but would be wonderful for longer stays. Very clean and walkable to restaurants and shops.
- Rabih (10/5): - Excellent accommodation, clean, beautiful, fully furnished and excellent staff
- Chandrashekar (8/5): - Great property for a peaceful vacation getaway. The main door didn’t have a lock but since the neighborhood was safe it wasn’t a big concern.
- TERESA (10/5): - Casas del Toro Monteverde has beautiful little apartments in a beautiful building with beautiful grounds. Laundry is included which is a big help. It is within walking distance to many attractions, and if you have a car, parking is no problem. I found the staff at CPI school which owns the accomodation to be very helpful. The person, Christian who took me to my space, arranged a night hike for me that very day. He was very gracious, and professional. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there.
- erika (10/5): - Perfect location.
- Arun deep singh (10/5): - Everything was just amazing and authentic
- Rick (10/5): - The grounds of the property are beautiful. The sunsets across the gulf and mountains were spectacular. A grocery store is less than a ten minute walk. There are restaurants, bakeries, coffee shops ten minutes in either direction with sidewalks. The weather was great. The scenery is spectacular.
- Philip (10/5): - Amazing stay!
- Georgina (10/5): Excelente estadia - Pasamos unos dias muy lindos en Casas del Toro. Nos gusto mucho la tranquilidad y limpieza . La cocina muy completa. Aunque es una zona fria , las habitaciones se calientan y un aire acondicionado puede funcionar bien.
- Elizabeth (10/5): Amazing Stay - Casas del Toro Monteverde was an amazing reprieve and respite during my journey around Costa Rica. Traveling solo, the communication on where to go and how to get the keys, as well as showing around the property upon arrival and security of parking were immense pleasures. The place itself is gorgeous and has amazing views, along with amenities needed during a short or long stay. The bed was also amazingly comfortable. Would highly recommend.
- Cliff (10/5): Great House in Monteverde - What a spacious house. Four bedrooms with five bathrooms. The house was perfect for our family of five. The house is located on the premises of the Spanish Immersion Institute, which is clean and gated. The staff was friendly and helpful. The house is close to the Monteverde Cloud Forest and other area attractions. You can walk to town if you desire. The house was the perfect setting for our family to spend time together under one roof instead of multiple rooms. If you are in Monteverde and you have a large family/group, I highly recommend you stay here. You won’t be disappointed.
- Tracy (8/5): Lovely property, with a few bumps... - Lovely grounds and apartment, fantastic location, friendly and efficient check-in. Overall great experience; however, a few bumps. Very noisy at night during high winds (some sort of metal banging sound on the roof) and lots of barking dogs and a rooster crowing nonstop starting around 5 am each day. Totally not the fault of the property owners, but a bit annoying. There were also quite a few ants and one cockroach in the bathroom, and the shower just sort of dribbled on you, no real pressure. The beds were comfortable, although my daughter found a used Band-aid stuck to one of the extra blanket in the closet. Yuck. That said, the apartment was freshened up each day, and it was great to have a kitchen for when we didn't want to go out to eat.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Friendly contact person, nice garden, beautiful scenery, strong wifi...lived the place
- Paul (10/5): Grea - This place was beautiful...had a European feel. Great location. The shower needs something though-maybe a new shower head...it was just a dribble...But other than that the place was great
- Janet (10/5): Lovely spot - great view - A lovely spot, fully equipped. A comfy chair would be a nice addition.
- Mikel (6/5): - Not instructions at all during check-in; very laid-back personnel
- James (10/5): - Nice apartment with small kitchen and excellent view. Walking distance to stores and restaurant if you dont mind hills.
- LEvans (10/5): - The property is beautiful and has a wonderful garden and outdoor area. Our room had great view of the ocean, forests, and garden and was a big space that didn't feel cramped at all. It's easy to walk to many restaurants and stores and it is a great juming off point for seeing Monteverde or Santa Elena. Our only problem was that we didn't know that check-in was at the CPI Spanish school down the road (I don't think this was mentioned on the listing, or we missed it) so when we arrived, there was no reception and we were a bit confused, but it was sorted out without too much delay. Staff is friendly and nice.
- Manlap (10/5): Great mountain villa. - The place was very homely comfortable, perfect for our family of 4. We cooked in the evenings and enjoyed playing at the ground's garden. View of the mountains & lake from the villa is beautiful!
- Lesliann (10/5): - Everything about Casa del Tores Is excellent. The property and apartment is stunningly beautiful and spotless clean. The staff has been extremely helpful and has made our stay in Monteverde wonderful. Thank you to Brandon at the front desk! He helped arrange tours and gave us excellent ideas for restaurants and activities. Wish we had more time here! Amazing location and scenery!
- Lila (8/5): - The property was a great price for having a full kitchen and the view was gorgeous, but the walls are thin so a lot is heard in neighboring rooms. It was also extremely difficult to find, especially in the dark, so make sure you have very clear understanding of location and also important to have a 4x4 to get to the property.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - This property is clean, and well maintained. We had a kitchen with a coffee maker, stove, oven, dishwasher, and refrigerator. It had everything we needed. Beautiful view of the valley all the way to the Pacific ocean!! Stunning!
- B.Bañez (10/5): - Located on a beautiful property with manicured gardens and butterflies everywhere. This 2 story 2 bedroom Villa was fully equipped w full kitchen, washer & dryer, Wii fii & foosball table. This was perfect for a family of 5. The property was gated and the town was very close to everything. Walk across the street and you witness the best sunset on Monteverde.You can see Pacific coast from this view! We had the best service too with the front desk manger, Roland.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Very nice villa/apartment - I had read the reviews before booking and had a high expectation. Casas Del Toro met my expectation and happy that I booked a villa in Casas Del Toro. It was clean and very spacious. Nicely maintained garden in front of the room/villa. I will write about a small difficulty I had while checking-in. I am writing this to make others aware of it and not to discourage others. I was aware of the process of check-in and went to CPI School. I reached around 7PM it was dark the gate was closed and didn't know what next to do, then realized that there is a intercom near the big gate. Somebody responded and remotely opened the gate, went inside then I was not sure whether to go straight or go to right, actually the office was straight ahead. Heard some voices from right and went through another gate to right then realized that I came to a wrong place and when I tried to go back found the gate closed. Then I knocked a door may be he was a guest and he opened the gate for me and that time I saw the receptionist/guard came looking for me.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Beautiful location, plenty of space, private home-y feel. An important tip though, you need to check in at CPI, the immersion school nearby before going to the casa. That was unclear on booking and felt confusing, if not wrong, when we drove in, but staff was super friendly and made sure we knew where to go from there.
- Jennifer (10/5): Wow! - We super-liked Casa del Toro; located about a $3 taxi ride from Santa Elena and a $10 taxi ride from Monteverde. I think the basic area of the casa is called Cerro Plano - just past the CPI Spanish Immersion school. First of all it was clean, quiet, spacious, with good wifi and comfortable. Abigail, the young housekeeper was really helpful and welcoming. We had an apartment on the second floor and the view was amazing; you could see all the way down to the Gulf of Nicoya and watch lovely sunsets. The bedroom had a tiny balcony and all the rooms had huge windows - even the bathroom. We really appreciated the attention to detail in the design: every room had crown moldings and a tray ceiling, clean tiled floors and the bathroom walls were tiled to the ceiling. There was a bath-tub/shower which was nice with a sturdy grab bar to help you get in. The casa also has a lovely garden in front with a tiny stream and bubbling fountain. A supply of salt, pepper, oil, sugar, coffee and tea was left for us. It was about a 10 minute walk to the nearest corner store, restaurants and bakery. St. Elena was about a 25 minute fairly steep, downhill walk for bigger grocery stores. There was also a free washer and dryer in the laundry room. The only drawback for Casa del Toro was not walking anywhere at night because of the steep streets and sometimes sketchy sidewalks. You are supposed to check-in first at the CPI Spanish Immersion school which is about a 5 min. walk.
