About this property

Farmstay with Ocean View in Monteverde! Nature, private and amazing views

Welcome to Casa Paraiso.
You will think that you have died and gone to heaven. The lovely four bedroom, two bathroom home is nestled atop a hill with a lovely view overlooking the verdant green valleys of the MonteVerde forests and pasturelands. From the master bedroom, there is a commanding view of the lush valley below.

If you are fortunate, you will have front rowseats to a specatacular lightening show. From the living room, you will be mezmerized by the parade of butterflies and hummingbirds that visit the abundant flowers throughout the day. Despite the feeling of privacy and total seclusion, you are just a few minutes drive to the town of MonteVerde, fifteen minutes to the reserve, and within walking distance of many other local attractions including ziplining, coffee tours, and night tours.This truly offers the best of both worlds, allowing you to see the history and authenic beauty that has made Costa Rica and MonteVerde and international draw while being cose to amenities and all that is new within the area as well. However, the best part about this home is the ability you have to take a peek into authentic Costa Rican life. This is a third generation, small scale, sustainable dairy farm. The cows are pasture-fed and roam freely throughout the day. It is our vision to continue to operate this farm without the use of pesticides or chemical based fertilizers and to maintain a balance of pasturelands and forest.
Guests are invited to take a tour of the farm. Come and see the cows up close and try your hand at milking. Take a tour of the garden, where you will find banana trees, the beginnings of a small scale coffee farm, and seasonal fruits and veggies under the care of our family. We also have sheep, goats, pigs, and poultry on the premesis that are all a part of the farm operation. MonteVerde is an area with a rich history in dairy production. My family has been a part of it since the time that oxen were used to transport milk daily to town.
At the conclusion of the farm tour, we invite to you dine with us and try the fresh Costa Rican cheese. You can enjoy an authentic meal featuring the freshly made cheese, hand made tortillas, along with other locally sourced and seasonably available items. You will notice a diffence in the quality of the food that is locally sourced and where animals are fed a natural diet. This is an opportunity to experience "La Pura Vida" at its finest.

Beautiful and idyllic with the warmest loveliest hosts
This is a stunningly beautiful place and you couldnt ask for sweeter hosts. The house has everything we needed (though there are 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, not 4 beds and 2 baths as listed). We so appreciated being able to wash clothes and everything dried on the line. We joined Orlando and Carolina for a tour of the farm to meet the animals. My kids loved feeding the calves and the goats and trying their hand at milking. Making cheese and tortillas with Carolina was a delight. Orlando shared so much about how the farm works and how it has evolved over the generations to adapt to different farming practices that are in harmony with the ecosystem and are having to change with clinate change. We had one meal there (breakfast), which was wonderful. They serve amazing coffee produced by a family friend whose farm isn't far away; we brought some home. They have a selection of lovely souvenirs, including paintings by their cousin, which my kids loved. We loved this spot as our base in Monteverde. The change of pace from staying in cities and towns was energizing. Highly recommend!

Great stay at Finca El Paraiso!
My wife and I and two small children had the pleasure of staying at this lovely farm stay. The house was spacious and clean, the food at Yolanda's kitchen was very tasty, and the vistas were incredible. Would definitely recommend!

Stay if you brave and adventures!
The farmhouse is OK. Host is very friendly and helpful. But the second night we didn't have hot water at all and found a pretty big scorpion and a tarantula on the wall and on the ceiling.

A Real Farm in a Beautiful Spot
You can tell that the Vargases are a family and that La Finca Paraiso Cheese Farm is a working farm. They're happy to give you any advice you need, and they spend the day working on the property. The farm tour was great! You get to feed a calf from the bottle, feed the piggie his greens, milk a cow and learn about the history of the farm, including the family's transition to pesticide-free farming. And there are killer sunsets.

In the Farm
Our grandson loves animals do a farm stay was the perfect opportunity for him. Orlando was wonderful as he took us on a tour- milking a cow, bottle feeding a calf and goat as well as the pig and chickens. All this was enhance by having the chance to make fresh chance and tortillas with his mother. A beautiful location, great views and sunset, and close to Monteverde (zip lining).
