Birders for Balbi!
You must stay at Casa Balbi! Especially if yu are a birder. Your hosts, Larry and his son Oscar are such good hosts, very warm, hospitabe, engaging, friendly, helpful. They live on-site so there is aways someone there to help or just to visit with. Oscar was especially helpful with arranging shuttle rides for me to various reserves in the area. The grounds are huge! Tropical birds are plentiful and easy to see. I stayed here for 3 months. I was surrounded by toucans and parrots every day. It is a short walk downhill to town and then an easy taxi ride back up. The grounds are huge, full of flowers, birds, butterfies, and mammals. White-faced monkeys are regular visitors. No need to stay anywhere else in Monteverde - if you have any interest in nature - and that is why you are going to Costa Rica - this is the place to stay.

Great place!
Amazing property. Amazing location. The property owner was awesome and super nice. On top of that a huge help for me and my wife on things to do in the area even going as far as sending names and map links. The room itself was clean and well maintained. 10/10 would stay again.

Decent and fair
Landlord is not so greedy as most ticos concerning tourists. The wind was shaking the roof, but the cabin is large and fully equipped. Nice garden and a little but steady warm water.

Monteverde
A very pleasant stay in spacious and quiet accommodations that had a nice deck next to a small stream (bonus!). Location was close to Santa Elena and the many attractions of the Monteverde area. Oscar (and his father Larry) were exceedingly helpful, friendly, and a pleasure to speak with. Good guys! Their property, though not the easiest to find, was beautiful, well maintained, safe and secure, and very green/forested. I fully recommend these accommodations!

About the host

Hosted by Oscar Sanchez

Host profile image
It has been a lifetime vision of Balbina Redondo, wife of Oscar who passed away in 2012 ( this is where the name Casa Balbi). It is a true pleasure to share our slice of paradise with travelers from all over the world since we started hosting. My father and I are living on property ( 4 acres ) and are here to answer any questions or help in any way that we can to make your stay more enjoyable.

Why they chose this property

This property is a slice of heaven in Monteverde and it just makes you take in the Cloud Forest Experience. A true jem and we are blessed ro be living here. You can take tours from Casa Balbi to the Canopy Ziplines, the Santa Elena Cloud Forest, Curi Cancha REserve, Monteverde Cloud Forest and many other trails that will lead you to magical locations that you will remember for a lifetime.

What makes this property unique

Quiet. Remote, but close enough to town. What made us fall in love with Casa Balbi was creating the Organic gardens, planting the tropical flowers, watching wildlife cross the tree tops and just being relaxed in a very quiet location. It is amazing to be in the clouds of Monteverde. You will have the opportunity to be in a magical location and fall in love as we did with Casa Balbi.
