“Homey comfort and excellent service at a budget price”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 May 2013

Location: First off, the hotel is located about a 10 to 15 minute uphill walk out of the main town. It requires a bit of effort, but takes you away from the noise and gives a gorgeous view. The road is lit and paved almost 95% of the way. I do NOT think this location is a cause for concern... More

“Felt like home! Absolutely wonderful”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 April 2013

Hotel El Viandante was the best hotel (for 3 days & 2 nights) of our entire week long stay in Costa Rica!!! The owners, Grace and Renzo, are incredibly accommodating and made our stay smoother than we could have hoped. Grace's tour recommendations were wonderfully honest and helped us pack our trip full of exciting adventures and attractions (including restaurant... More

“Excellent Bed and Breakfast”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 April 2013

Renzo and Grace were excellent hosts. They gave us great recommendations on activities, and better yet, they arranged all the activities for us! They are definitely why I gave this place an "excellent" rating, although the rest of the experience was great too. Our room had wood panels, and it definitely had a cabin-like feel, which was refreshing. But it... More

“Friendly Gem in the Cloud Forest”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 April 2013

We ended up in this hotel due to an error we made in our reservations at another location but it was worth finding it. It is a bit out of the way and not right in the middle of town but very comfortable and clean. The owners, Renzo and Grace, were very gracious and make you feel right at home.... More

This hotel is run by a very nice couple, Grace is from the US and her husband is from Italy, I think that's why they have a nice standard of service at this hotel, including a substantial breakfast with high quality food.

“Friendly, clean, comfortable.”

El Viandante is located on the edge of Monteverde, out of most of the noise but walking distance to several good restaurants. It's a little hard to find, so if you don't have a GPS make sure you get a very good map or directions. Grace who runs the hotel is great, knowledgable, friendly, helpful and a great cook (breakfast... More
