We had a fantastic time at Rancho De Lelo, staying for two nights with our three kids. This ecolodge, located just outside Monteverde, is truly special. While the rooms are basic, they have everything you need for a comfortable stay. Sitting on the balcony at night, listening to the sounds of nature, was a magical experience, especially with the kids. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, even when we were a bit nervous about driving back after sunset. The food was outstanding! You have to try their dinner menu (shoutout to the chef! The fried Tilapia is a must). The property is well-kept, with a lovely little pool and a great soccer field for some family fun. Just keep in mind that the only access is via a gravel road, so in the rainy season, a 4x4 vehicle is recommended. Overall, it was a wonderful stay that our whole family will cherish, and I highly recommend it. Thank you, Rancho De Lelo, for adding to our Costa Rica adventure!

You need a 4x4 to get here. Road conditions not that great. Property is nice but getting to/from Elena is treacherous . If you are staying here it’s very nice. Hosts are awesome. Pool is more of a soaker tub size

This is a very special ecolodge because the Mata family cares deeply about their home, the land, and their guests. They are incredibly friendly and welcoming. The rooms are beautiful and peaceful. The grounds are serene. The farm to table food is excellent. The drive to Monte Verde cloud forest and nearby town of Santa Elena is a fun drive on a well maintained gravel road through beautiful mountain passes and villages. If you are looking to have a special Tico experience near Monte Verde, this is the place. We hope to come back!

Nous avons adoré notre séjour au Rancho de Lelo. La famille qui gère cet établissement est très sympathique et accueillante. La cabine était parfaite pour notre famille de 5. Nous avons apprécié le calme de cet endroit. Nos enfants ont adoré le terrain de soccer, les arbres fruitiers, les petits chiens et les excellents jus préparés maison. Il faut avoir un véhicule pour s’y rendre car c’est un peu éloigné mais ça vaut le déplacement!

Beautiful location in the Monteverde area. Rainbows everywhere. Run by a lovely family. We were traveling with our toddler and they let her help catch the fish from the little pond for dinner (which was delicious!).

She greeted me by name before I even got out of the car! Absolutely felt welcome and comfortable with the people, the grounds and our cabin. She helped prepare our travels for the next day so we could avoid the Costa Rican massage on our drive (avoid bumpy gravel roads). I feel we got extremely lucky to stay here.
