About this property

Farmstay with Ocean View in Monteverde! Nature, private and amazing views

Farmstay in the Sustainable Farm

Welcome to Casa Paraiso!
You will think that you have died and gone to heaven. One bathroom home is nestled atop a hill with a lovely view overlooking the verdant green valleys of the MonteVerde forests and pasturelands. From the balcony, there is a commanding view of the lush valley below.

If you are fortunate, you will have front rowseats to a specatacular lightening show. From the balcony, you will be mezmerized by the parade of butterflies and hummingbirds that visit the abundant flowers throughout the day. Despite the feeling of privacy and total seclusion, you are just a few minutes drive to the town of MonteVerde, fifteen minutes to the reserve, and within walking distance of many other local attractions including ziplining, coffee tours, and night tours.
This truly offers the best of both worlds, allowing you to see the history and authenic beauty that has made Costa Rica and Monteverde and international draw while being cose to amenities and all that is new within the area as well.
However, the best part about this home is the ability you have to take a peek into authentic Costa Rican life.
This is a third generation, small scale, sustainable farm. The animals are pasture-fed and roam freely throughout the day. It is our vision to continue to operate this farm without the use of pesticides or chemical based fertilizers and to maintain a balance of pasturelands and forest.
Guests are invited to take a tour of the farm.
Come and see the cows up close and try your hand at milking.
Take a tour of the garden, where you will find banana trees, the beginnings of a small scale coffee farm, and seasonal fruits and veggies under the care of our family. We also have sheep, goats, pigs, and poultry on the premesis that are all a part of the farm operation. MonteVerde is an area with a rich history in dairy production.
My family has been a part of it since the time that oxen were used to transport milk daily to town.
At the conclusion of the farm tour, we invite to you dine with us and try your hand at making fresh Costa Rican cheese. You can enjoy an authentic meal featuring the freshly made cheese, hand made tortillas, along with other locally sourced and seasonably available items. You will notice a diffence in the quality of the food that is locally sourced and where animals are fed a natural diet. This is an opportunity to experience "La Pura Vida" at its finest.
There's a private balcony or patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, a stovetop, and a microwave. Conveniences include a desk and a coffee/tea maker, and housekeeping is provided daily.
Enjoy recreation amenities such as a spa tub or take in the view from a garden.
Breakfast is available for a fee.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Orlando and his family are such a beautiful hearted family. The animal experience and getting to know how the farm is worked was great. The class on how to make cheese, empanadas,bread and tortillas by Yolanda was amazing. We enjoyed so much that we cooked all day. The laughs will be remembered for life. Thank ypu for such a great visit!

Amazing farm
The family is so friendly! They greeted us upon our arrival even though it was raining really hard. The cabin we stayed in was perfect. It had everything you need and it was super private. The view from the bed was a $1M view. You could actually see the ocean from the top of the mountain. And you have to do the tour of the farm. It was absolutely worth it. What an amazing family and such rich heritage. I highly recommend. And super close to a cool town.

The weather was changeable. Absolutely amazing views. We could see the ocean! Also parrots, raptors, songbirds. House as described. Host is welcoming and kind. Access to cloud forest, hummingbird gallery, orchid garden, local brewery. Only issue was complete lack of hot or even warm water.

Perfect getaway!
We absolutely loved our stay on the farm! The host family, who own the farm this little cabin is on, are absolutely wonderful! We took a little stroll on our last morning and visited the operational part of the small farm to visit the baby calves. We didn't get to do any of the farm tours on our short stay but heard great things about them. The cabin is cute and cozy, but not cramped and well set up, with a handy little kitchenette and a big porch. But what really makes this little getaway spot exceptional is THE VIEW!!! The cabin has a giant sliding door as most of the valley facing wall, so you can just marvel at the scenery any time you are in, but we really enjoyed just sitting out on the porch. So much so we just took dinner home one night and sat to watch the sunset. Do note this location is a bit out of town, so you will need to have a car and be comfortable driving country roads if you want to get around during your stay. But if so, this place is a hidden gem and great value. It was one of the highlights of our trip!

Wonderful stay on the farm. Orlando is super nice and there was a lot to see on the property as far as animals. Be sure to get there before sunset because it’s fantastic. Very close to town and easy to find. Only negatives were lack of warm water and coffee maker was broken, but there were 3 other ways to make coffee ! Definitely exceeded my expectations.

This stay is rural and serene. My significant other and I stayed at the farm for two nights. The view is spectacular especially during sunset time. We also did all three activities offered: Night hike with Bruce, Cooking with Carolina, and Farm tour with Orlando. The Vargas family is hospitable, kind, and generous. Highly recommend for a unique stay with attentive and humble hosts in the beautiful Monteverde!

Another beautiful view!
This cabin was cozy, private, and included all we needed to experience the real Monteverde. The patio was just what was described with such a beautiful view of the hillside even to the bay. Orlando and family were always available to answer any questions or help. We were there for two short days to hike El Tigre Waterfall’s. The cabin was about a fifteen minute drive from Santa Elena which is a super cool town with shops and restaurants. I would absolutely stay align at this location in the future.

Perfect sunsets from Los Tornos
EN - Orlando and his family provided a great place for my father and I to enjoy a few days in the Santa Elena / Monteverde region. This property is 4 miles from Santa Elena’s town center, 5.6 miles from Monteverde’s town center, and 5 miles from Sky Adventures Monteverde Park. The cabin has a single bed (my father took the bed, and I took the floor), private shower, mini-fridge, and an amazing deck to catch sunsets and distant views of the Gulf of Nicoya. Each evening when Mr. Orlando (Orlando’s father) would tend to milking duties, we were able to see the cows in the holding pen while they waited their turn. A great place to experience nature. ES- Orlando y su familia brindaron un excelente lugar para que mi padre y yo disfrutáramos de unos días en la región de Santa Elena / Monteverde. Esta propiedad se encuentra a 6.6 km del centro de la ciudad de Santa Elena, a 9.1 km del centro de la ciudad de Monteverde y a 8 km del parque Sky Adventures Monteverde. La cabaña tiene una cama individual (mi padre tomó la cama y yo tomé el piso), ducha privada, mini-refrigerador y una terraza increíble para ver las puestas de sol y las vistas lejanas del Golfo de Nicoya. Cada noche, cuando el Sr. Orlando (el padre de Orlando) se ocupaba de las tareas de ordeño, podíamos ver las vacas en el corral de espera mientras esperaban su turno. Un gran lugar para conectarse con la naturaleza.

A lovely farm stay
We stayed in Orlando’s place for two days on January. Everything is perfect. The view at the cabin is amazing. You must wake up in the morning and watch all kinds of beautiful birds passing by. We actually watched more birds in the balcony than within the national preserve. You need a high clearance vehicle to drive on the dirt road in Vargas Calle.

Completely private retreat - priceless
We were looking for a private retreat and found it and so much more! We would wake up while sitting on a patio watching hummingbirds and toucanets while drinking coffee brewed in a chorreador. Owners super friendly dog Lucy would visit us for pets. We loved having the full view of the valley from the cabin. Coming back at night we would watch the sunset. The owner took us on a night tour and we learned a lot about the ants! Also saw armadillo and owl! We had the yummiest milk from their farm. At night the amount of stars we could see was incredible. The cabin itself was simple but had everything we needed. Being in a place that offered a completely private retreat was priceless.

Quaint farm with beautiful view
Orlando and his family we're hospitable hosts. The farm tour, chance to make fresh cheese, and homemade dinner we're excellent. The view from both casa #1 and casa #2 we're amazing. We stayed in casa #2 and enjoyed the solitude. The shower water was only luke-warm, but it still did the job. Would recommend to others who are looking for a look into real-life living in Costa Rica and enjoy some solitude.

Lovely stay, especially for kids
We had a lovely time here. The house is in a great location, near to Monteverde but definitely not touristy. Orlando is a great host and our daughter absolutely loved milking the cows and playing with the dog. It was also lovely to have milk straight from the cow! Thank you very much for a lovely stay. Oh, also the view from the front of the house is amazing, we spent hours just watching birds including toucans flying past our front door!
