You need a 4x4 to get here. Road conditions not that great. Property is nice but getting to/from Elena is treacherous . If you are staying here it’s very nice. Hosts are awesome. Pool is more of a soaker tub size

This is a very special ecolodge because the Mata family cares deeply about their home, the land, and their guests. They are incredibly friendly and welcoming. The rooms are beautiful and peaceful. The grounds are serene. The farm to table food is excellent. The drive to Monte Verde cloud forest and nearby town of Santa Elena is a fun drive on a well maintained gravel road through beautiful mountain passes and villages. If you are looking to have a special Tico experience near Monte Verde, this is the place. We hope to come back!

Nous avons adoré notre séjour au Rancho de Lelo. La famille qui gère cet établissement est très sympathique et accueillante. La cabine était parfaite pour notre famille de 5. Nous avons apprécié le calme de cet endroit. Nos enfants ont adoré le terrain de soccer, les arbres fruitiers, les petits chiens et les excellents jus préparés maison. Il faut avoir un véhicule pour s’y rendre car c’est un peu éloigné mais ça vaut le déplacement!

Beautiful location in the Monteverde area. Rainbows everywhere. Run by a lovely family. We were traveling with our toddler and they let her help catch the fish from the little pond for dinner (which was delicious!).

Felt like staying with friends!
Great stay, lovely family run Ecolodge. The food at the onsite restaurant was delicious. We had the whole fried tilapia, and smoked pork dinners. As well as an amazing huge breakfast with delicious fresh fruit, rice and beans and eggs and coffee. Our casita was equipped with everything we needed to cook. Plenty of room, deeply relaxing to have the windows open and watch the birds. We saw a toucan and a hummingbird, there are coffee plants and banana plants and orchids growing right outside the door. They had excellent suggestions for tours, restaurants and the best places to stop and watch the sunset. The lodge is about 25 minutes drive outside Santa Elena, it’s a pretty drive with a couple incredible views. One afternoon we just relaxed at the lodge, sat with our legs in the spring fed pool, watched the birds and played with the dogs.

We enjoyed our stay and think you probably will too. This assumes you are comfortable with a family run operation and you can manage a little mountain driving to get there. Oh, and they have some dogs. The cabin was comfortable, the food was good and the property is nice. Also, as mentioned the staff are helpful and terrific. Beautiful area and the price was reasonable.

She greeted me by name before I even got out of the car! Absolutely felt welcome and comfortable with the people, the grounds and our cabin. She helped prepare our travels for the next day so we could avoid the Costa Rican massage on our drive (avoid bumpy gravel roads). I feel we got extremely lucky to stay here.
