We spent a week at the house in December 2016. Great location, wonderful host and surrounded by all kinds of fruit trees. Off the beaten path with great views in all directions. Home is well fitted out. Kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. Plenty of hot water and comfy beds. The decor was perfect and just well thought out. House was very clean as well. Had numerous conversations with the gardener and heard his thoughts of the property. The bird watching on the front porch was wonderful and we spent a lot of time just watching, drinking coffee, and doing very little. The host Cat was very helpful and answered all our questions and gave us local insight regarding the community.

The Guesthouse was a spectacular place to stay. A paradise only 15 minutes to the main square in Boquete. The landscaping is perfection, as is the general setting of the property in the mountains. Colorful birds and insects abound. The sky provides the perfect panorama of shifting colors and night time stars. The house itself is well built and up to western standards. Very comfy beds and living room sitting area. On top of all this the host Mary Ellen is a sweetheart. Full of energy and enthusiasm for her Panama lifestyle. I really cant say enough good things about the Alba Verde Guesthouse. It was the best part of my 17 day trip to Panama!
I will be back!!! Todd

Beautiful cabin in the mountains above Boquete. Only a 10 minute drive from Boquete, far enough to seem private and remote but close enough for restaurants and shops. Cabin and grounds are well maintained and surrounded by beautiful views. Great trip!

This peaceful haven was so incredible! Everthing was as promised & more. Grounds are private, quiet with a constant sound of birds chirping, wind chimes swaying with the light breeze & amazing air that smells like flowers blooming. A magical place to relax, be one with nature, a sweetheart or a good book.
Our host is an artist with an eye for detail. Colorful flowers in bloom all around in greenery as well as citrus trees & coffee bushes. Watching the clouds cross over the Volcan Baru is a sight to behold from this location. Seeing the sun rise & set from our casita are views that must be seen for yourself. All the extra amenities only added to our fabulous experience. I hope to return again one day to see & feel this beauty at this hidden treasure in the highlands of Boquete. It seems like we were far far away from it all & yet the town was just 15 minutes away on a picturesque drive down the mountain. I only wish we could have stayed longer.

This is a lovely little casita set on a property with amazing views. We relaxed in the peace and privacy of being tucked away on the mountain while watching and listening to the various birds on the property and enjoying a glass of wine in the evenings on one of the private patios off our bedrooms. It was exactly the space we needed for some well-deserved down time after our hectic jobs, and we loved the cool weather up on the mountain.

Mary Ellen was a great host, providing everything needed in the house. We didn't have very much interaction with her during our stay as we rented a car and spent a lot of time with friends who live there, but she kindly picked us up from the airport and our time spent with her in the car was lovely and enlightening. She was very responsive and answered all of our questions before arrival.

Highly recommended and I would definitely stay here again.
