Stay at the Villa farm
The villa itself was beautiful !! Gorgeous views, wonderful pool, trails to hike, great people staffing as well as others staying on the property. 8 bungalows with other guests, and still very private. Access was a bit difficult. Road to property is dirt and very rough with many potholes from rainy season. Not regular car access type. Roads in Nicaragua leave much to be desired.. to say the least. Highways are excellent but be prepared for the driving !!

Thank you Irene for staying with us. We have had a very good time with you and I hope you will return. The road is a challenge but you get use to it soon. It is accesible the whole year around with a car that is not too low. Mototaxis (tuctucs) enter all the time and also the taxi can reach the house when you want the services for a day trip or for driving from and to the airport.

I cannot say enough good things about this property. The Host Nel was amazing, she was very helpful and instantly made us feel at home. She gave us a tour of the 20 acre property and showed us where to pick the fresh fruit from the trees. She really brought all the guests together on the property and made it feel like a little community. There was games every night which was a lot of fun, and the salt water pool was so fresh and warm. The views from the suite where absolutely stunning, and our villa was well equipped with amenities. My partner and I had the best time met the best people and we will definitely be returning one day. If I could rate it 11 out of 10 I would.

We have been traveling Costa Rica and Nicaragua for the last couple of years. We stayed here so we could see the Masaya Volcano. But the surprise was how wonderful Nan and the property was. Beautiful rolling hills, fruit trees, coffee plants, and a view of Lake Managua from the cabin and the pool. Nan arranged a tour for all of the guest of a farm and a factory that was just fantastic. We didn't get to do everything we wanted to do, so we will be returning. If you are going to visit the Volcano or are in the area, stay here. Nan is the best host I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. I will be sending my friends. Stay here.

An amazing get away and an awesome host.
We stayed here for just 4 nights and wish we had spent our whole trip here. The place was serene, abounding with fruit trees and our host Nel is one in a million. Not enough space to write about how she went above and beyond to make our journey and stay the best experience possible. In the very short time we spent in Masatepe, we got to love the place and will definitely be going back for a much longer stay. Thank you Nel for making our vacation so special.

Thank you Yohan and Nikki. I really hope to see you back again. Next time I recommend you to go at night to the volcano. I saw a picture of the red lava from another guest of us. It was after you had left. So special! But you saw the monkeys and the turtles. Thank you for sharing your fotos. Making memories. You certainly did.

Nel is a wonderful woman, attentive, caring, and responsive to needs that crop up. Her farm and guest casitas are well-maintained, well-equipped, and pleasant. We're so glad we landed here. Thank you, Nel.

The best vacation we have had!
Such a beautiful property and the people are wonderful. We had the best time. The villa was spotless, beautiful and quiet. ( exactly what we needed) Nel went above and beyond for us and made sure our daughter had everything she needed when we got there. We appreciated that more than you know. We will see you next year :)

Thank you for being here, escaping the cold from your home country. You encouraged us to buy a bed for little children and a high chair and I really like to thank you.

Beautiful cottage in a tranquil setting
We had a great experience there! Place matched our expectation and it was exactly like how the vrbo overview had described the home. Nel took great care of us. We are a family of 4 with 2 kids(5 and 9 years) old. It was peaceful retreat overlooking the Masaya lake. The kids had a blast there! , Kids did a lot of fresh fruit picking, running around the trees. Nel even got us fresh coconut water. We lazed around in the hammock enjoying the view, took hikes. Kids had a good swim in the pool. Nel was very friendly and took care of us right from arranging the taxi, recommending touristic spots. She was always on time and helpful! Property was well maintained. If you do not know spanish, would recommend getting a taxi from Nel. The taxi driver was reliable and stayed with us the whole day! Would definitely recommend this place, especially for families with kids.

Thank you very much. It was so good to see how the kids enjoyed the space. To see them looking for natural materials to play with. Thank you for mentioning our taxi driver. He can show you details and tell you where you can have a drink or where the restaurant is you prefer. He protects you like his own family. It was good to see that you enjoyed to see a lot of highlights during your stay of almost a week. And not having your hired car you might even think about taking a walk to town and see more about daily life of people and nature.

Beautiful view. Fantastic pool. Warm hospitality. Everything you need!
We had a great time at Nel and Joop's place, overlooking Lago Masaya. She was very helpful with tips about the area and present just enough and not too much. We were happy to contribute to the social effort of employing local people on the property. We LOVED making juice every day with freshly picked oranges from the garden. The house is very appropriately equipped for all you might need. Do make sure you purchase the food you'll want before heading up from Masatepe because you are not going to want to leave!

Thanks Ruth and James. Every stay more means more possibilities for development. Good tip to purchase your own food before arrival. You will find the basic supermarket Pali in Masatepe and the more luxury supermarket Colonia in Masaya and Jinotepe, as the most close to Masatepe. And soon we will have our own coffee, medium toasted.

Il y a la paix et la tranquillité ici pour ralentir et profiter de la marche sur les sentiers de randonnée sur les pentes à travers la forêt sur la propriété elle-même et au-delà, en profitant de la vue magnifique sur le lac Masaya et les volcans Mombacho et Masaya. Et bien sûr, détendez-vous dans la piscine et vous pourrez préparer votre propre nourriture et boissons dans la cuisine entièrement équipée. Pendant la journée, vous pouvez faire des excursions d'une journée dans tous les beaux endroits du pays et le soir, il fait toujours frais ici en raison de l'altitude plus élevée. Les moustiquaires sur les fenêtres et le ventilateur garantissent que les insectes restent à l'écart. Et merci Steve pour votre recommandation.

Sehr schöne Anlage mitten in der Natur. Dazu eine super nette Gastgeberin, die sich stehst um das Wohl ihrer Gäste kümmert. Sie organisiert und kümmert sich um alles, ist immer freundlich und kocht bei Bedarf auch mal (und das sehr gut). Zusammengefasst ein toller Aufenthalt.
