Casa Batsu Charming Bnb

I highly recommend staying here if you’re visiting Monteverde—especially if you have a car. This family-run B&B (hosted by a wonderful husband and wife) offers a beautiful property with acres of land to explore, giving off a charming British countryside vibe. The only downside is that it’s about a 25-minute walk to downtown, but the owners can arrange a taxi for around $10-$12. Despite this, the peaceful and tranquil environment makes it worth it. Breakfast is fantastic, and you can watch birds feed as you enjoy your meal. On our first day, the owner even drove us into town, where everyone seems to know each other, and they provided great local recommendations. Honestly, I wish we had stayed an extra day just to soak it all in. If you’re coming to Monteverde, do yourself a favor and stay here—you won’t regret it! And if you do, leave a comment under my review (though I highly doubt you’ll have anything negative to say!).

This was the best place we stayed in Costa Rica. It's absolutely perfect. It's right outside of Santa Elena and Monteverde. A 5 minute drive at most to get to either town. It might be a little far to walk, but definitely easy in the car. He has plenty of parking near the front of the property. When we arrived, the owner, Carlos, provided us with welcome fruit smoothies and gave us a little tour of his bnb, and it's charming and clean. We were in the Los Perezosos room with our two adult children - we all fit just fine on the two comfortable queen beds. The room was immaculate and the bathroom was large and had lots of hot water, plush towels, and nice toiletries. They even provide robes. Every morning Carlos fixed us a beautiful, fresh and delicious breakfast, accompanied by amazing Costa Rican coffee and smoothies. He and his staff put their fruit rinds on a tree in his garden, and it attracts all sorts of gorgeous birds that provide a fun and interesting show while you're eating on the covered patio. I absolutely would recommend this property - you won't be disappointed. So clean, so kind, so beautiful. Thank you Carlos, for allowing us to stay with you and your wife at your perfect bnb. You have created a treasure in the center of Costa Rica!

Loved it!!

You’ll feel a bit like you’re a guest in a Costa Rican home. Carlos and his team go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and welcome. Many lovely and thoughtful touches throughout.

What a special place Casa Batsu is! Carlos and Paola are the most gracious hosts. First of all, the property is absolutely beautiful. The grounds are immaculately kept and there’s a beautiful trail to hike right there on the property. We stayed in the Colibri room, which was perfect for our family of 4. Carlos cooked us breakfast each morning and, my goodness, it was phenomenal. Every morning was such a treat! He took time to come up with fun meals that my kids would enjoy, too! The location of Casa Batsu was also fantastic. We rented a car and could easily get around Santa Elena and explore Monteverde from the hotel. What a special place Casa Batsu is! Our stay there was a big highlight of our trip. I definitely recommend!

Got a personal recommendation to stay at Casa Batsu in Monteverde. It is a. Beautiful BnB, our room was stunning, large, the breakfast changes daily. Carlos and Paula created a gorgeous and welcoming oasis. We arrived at about 22:00 and Carlos waited for us with a glass of wine, fruit & cheese. He helped with the luggage and let us relax. We met him in the morning when he was preparing the daily scrumptious breakfast. He sat with us with recommendations of where to go and helped us booked some of the attractions. One day we got stuck due to a mudslide blocking the road. Upon describing the issue to Carlos, he shared the number of his friend the taxi driver who came to pick us up from the other side of the landslide within 15 minutes. Next day Carlos drove us to pick up our car. The huge heart, the generosity, finding time to socialize with and make sure his guests are happy, is priceless.
