Monteverde Hotel

Trapp Family Lodge Monteverde Costa Rica is the hotel nearest the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve (a 15 minute walk).

   You may have heard of the Trapp Family Lodge in Vermont but did you know there is also one in Monteverde Costa Rica? Although the Trapp family owns both Lodges, the two businesses are unaffiliated. It is interesting to note that both hotels are in the mountains; Vermont is nicknamed the Green Mountain State and the definition of Monteverde in Spanish is Green Mountain. The Von Trapp Family became internationally known due to the success of the film "The Sound of Music" that depicted their story.

   After the Von Trapp family escaped from Austria to Switzerland, some of the family remained in Switzerland, some emigrated to the U.S. and others moved to Chile. During the tumultuous decades of the seventies and eighties Chile became an unpleasant place for anyone of age for military service. The Trapp's escaped again, this time to the Switzerland of Central America: Costa Rica.

   The Trapp Family Lodge of Monteverde was constructed in 1999. The lodge has the same alpine feel as the Vermont lodge; made of elegantly carved wood and also picturesquely placed on a mountain. The Trapp family Lodge is the closest hotel to the Monteverde Cloud Forest Preserve. There are 20 comfortable rooms with private bathrooms, queen size beds and cushioned chairs which face floor to ceiling picture windows. Outside views are of the cloud forest and would be ideal for bird watching. One corner room is especially impressive due as a result of two connecting windows, which serve as the outside walls. The main building contains of a comfortable wooden lobby with a restaurant and bar. An area designated for smoking is enclosed off the main lobby.

   The 8 new Mountain Suites opened in 2006 with huge rooms. two double beds and balconies with great views of the cloud forests of Monteverde!

The Trapp Family Lodge is a popular choice with bird-watchers and those looking for the peaceful part of Monteverde.
