“We loved it”
This was the perfect place to escape the crowds and enjoy nature while still being close to Mombacho and not far from Granada. The building was extremely modern and well decorated, with very quirky touches like the outside shower. We loved the living area with beautiful views each side to admire the sunset and sunrise. The free tea and coffee was appreciated. The hammocks were lovely to lie and enjoy the peace and nature. Nice pool area. We arrived fairly late and hadn't eaten and they arranged food to be bought to us which was very tasty (there isn't anywhere particularly close to get food). The breakfast changed the 2 mornings we were there and were both lovely. Very comfortable bed. Good WiFi. Hot shower. We were woken early one morning by the howler monkeys and found a troop of them beside the property which was fun to watch.

“Paradise in the central mountains”
Hands down one of the nicest places we stayed in 4 months traveling in Central America. The main house is in a gorgeous setting with views in all directions, of greenery, the volcano and the lake beyond. The room is big and comfortable and naturally well ventilated. One of very few places which actually had enough storage space! I loved the outdoor shower. The common areas are fantastic, and would have plenty of space to cook and eat for a big group. The pool is wonderful and the hammocks and multiple terraces are perfect for lounging day and night.

“BEWARE THIS IS NOT AN ORGANIC ENVIRONMENT and it’s not a lodge or hotel but an old house let out”
The staff are really courteous although the day staff ignored my request of no salt in my food and a vegetarian option: one day he brought me meat in the plate. I enjoyed the general ambiance and the view. I am grateful to the management for allowing a late check in.

“Hidden gem betweeen Granada and Volcán Mombacho”
Hidden gem for Deep relaxation and tranquility and at the same time for fantastic Day Tours to Volcanoes Masaya, Mombacho, Granada, Isletas - reason why we booked another two nites. Relaxed on the terrace + poolside with incredible views, had this amazing breakfast prepared and served by Henry and enjoyed every detail of the stylish house . Could not have been better!😍

Staying here was one of the best decisions of my Nicaragua trip, such a tranquil base to explore Granada and nearby Mombacho Volcano from. Loved sitting on the terrace reading, and relaxing by the pool.

“The most relaxing surroundings!”
We loved our stay and have never felt so relaxed! We’d booked a deluxe double room, but as they had a retreat on, we were given the ‘casita’ which was very private and spacious! Our private terrace had an incredibly comfy seating area overlooking the jungle and volcano which was really special. We’d opted for dinner both nights we stayed and it was delicious and very generous in portion size! The breakfasts were also delightful. The staff were amazing, we had our food brought to us at the agreed times and the staff were always on hand to help us when needed. We were lucky enough to see some amazing bird life, and also had howler monkeys in the trees next to the terrace on our last morning there which was amazing!

“Fabulous”
Off the beaten track, but set in the most incredible position in the midst of nature (including howlers monkeys!) and with fabulous views. Food was superb and everyone was very friendly

“Relaxing stay in a wonderful lodge.”
the lodge is absolutely stunning, with fantastic views from the terrace over the volcano and it's beautifully designed. It's very quite and remote which I loved. The only thing was that there was no food available because the cook was on vacation and I didn't bring any food to cook myself. But the staff was very helpful and organised a shuttle to a restaurant close by. I had a fantastic time.

The location is amazing. The views and the tranquility in a green oasis is perfect to unwind. We forgot to bring our food and they helped us out without any hassle. The shared living area is a very relaxing place to chill after your walks or after a dip in the gorgeous pool.

This is one of the best places we have been, and we have been traveling for more than a year. So peaceful and incredibly beautiful. A perfect view to the Mombacho forest, a lot of of Howlers and an extreme amount of fireflies in the evening. The pool is deep and refreshning. Finally, the owner and staff are very friendly and helpful.
