We enjoyed our stay at Rancho de Lelo. The staff was welcoming, knowledgeable, and friendly. They booked activities for us in Monteverde and recommended a great restaurant. The breakfast was quick and fresh. It was a pretty property though we didn’t get to explore much as we spent most of our time up in Monteverde.

Nice spot. Great view. One of the cheaper places to stay in Monteverde. Free breakfast is a bonus and they have a pool you can use anytime. The host was friendly and helpful. You do get a few small insects in the room but not many. It is a bit in out of the way so you want a vehicle if you're staying there.

This is a beautiful property and we truly enjoyed our stay. The family is welcoming and informative. The room was spacious and had high quality linens. Amazing views, delicious breakfast! The only downside was the drive out there...25 mins on single lane, bumpy dirt roads. Overall, the place was worth the drive, but

Very peaceful spot! The hosts are very kind and welcoming, and offer good support on how to get around the area and what to do. Don’t be afraid of the road in — it’s very manageable. Breakfast was delicious! Just be aware that it is not in town or walkable to restaurants, etc (20 min drive), but the cabins have a fridge and the hosts generously allow use of the kitchen with microwave, etc. We loved our stay — thank you Beatriz and family!

Rancho de Lelo is located about a 30-minute drive from Monteverde, in the peaceful village of San Luis. The ranch is family-run by Lelo and his three adult children, which creates a warm, welcoming atmosphere throughout the property. The staff are exceptional, and the breakfasts are both generous and delicious. It’s an ideal place to unwind in the evenings after a day of exploring Monteverde and the surrounding area. This is an excellent choice for families. The cabins are thoughtfully designed, offering both comfort and privacy. We stayed in a unit with two separate bedrooms, each with its own private bathroom, as well as a shared kitchen and living space—perfect for traveling with children. The mountain views are beautiful, and the night sky is spectacular, making it a memorable place to relax and connect with nature. Highly recommended for families, couples, or anyone looking for a peaceful retreat.
