Monte Real Bed & Breakfast
Welcome!
Thank you for visiting our Monte Real Bed & Breakfast web site. We are
located about 2 km from the business district of Atenas in a quiet, private
setting. The International Airport is within a half-hour reach and sites
of interest, including beaches, are about an hour away by car or bus. We
offer guided tours to any of a variety of Costa Rica's natural wonders conducted
by my wife (Costa Rican/Botanist) and/or myself (U.S./Biologist), or we
can make arrangements to book you with a tour operator based on your preferences.
Also available is a home stay option for those that wish to stay for 1 month,
or more, and involves doing volunteer work at a nearby orphanage or elementary
school. We also offer Spanish lessons during weekdays tailored to your level
of interest and time commitment. We have an extensive reference library
on topics relative to Costa Rica covering plants and animals, maps, national
parks, forest and biological reserves and other protected areas, and specialty
tours. Our guests have come from a variety of Countries, including Japan, Canada, the U.S., Ireland and England. Should you decide to stay with us, we look forward to having you!
