Friendly, Scandinavian-style wooden accommodation in the cloud forest, offering good wildlife-spotting opportunities within its lovely grounds.

This is one of Costa Rica’s original upcountry lodges and still one of the best. The superb Monteverde Lodge & Gardens nestles within the cloud forest of the Tilaran Mountains, looking out over a striking landscape of crumpled, forested ridges.

This eco-conscious property is built of wood and glass in Scandinavian style, and has two wings with simple rooms that vary in size, all with solar-heated showers. Natural light enters through large floor-to-ceiling windows, and the premier rooms have balconies fringing the cloud forest.

There is an open-plan restaurant with an open log fire and views out over the beautiful landscaped gardens, which are full of native plant species and attract a wide variety of wildlife. In addition to the heated outdoor pool there’s a large hot tub in which to unwind at the end of a busy day exploring the natural surroundings.
