Make The Most Of Your Time

At Fondavela, we believe in offering more than just a place to stay – we offer a truly authentic Monteverde experience. Our hotel is steeped in history, dating back to 1987 when it was founded on a former farmstead. As one of the first hotels in the area, we are proud to be a part of Monteverde’s rich hospitality heritage. Today, Fondavela remains a locally owned and operated hotel, owned by two Costa Rican siblings who are proud to call Monteverde home. Our commitment to being a 100% Monteverde hotel in all aspects ensures that our guests can experience the true spirit of this magical destination.
