For added convenience, private chef services can be arranged upon request so guests can enjoy freshly prepared meals at the villa. Transportation services, including airport transfers and local transportation, are also available by advance arrangement. These services are paid for separately.
Because the villa is located within a nature preserve, insects may occasionally be present. Uncovered food and spills can attract them, so guests are kindly asked to keep food covered and clean up spills.
A dog named Linda lives on the property and helps protect the home when it is unoccupied. She will be on a leash upon arrival. After being introduced by the caretaker, guests will find her friendly, gentle, and devoted to protecting both them and the property. She typically sleeps near the main entrance.
As your hosts, we take pride in sharing our love for Nicaragua and helping guests experience the country’s unique character, where history and modern life come together.

Jannett's home is wonderful! The setting is spectacular and the overall feel is calming and peaceful. We appreciated having Jhony and the team meet greet us. They went over everything with patience and in great detail. The power went out one night and they even came over to let us know what to expect in terms of timing. The home has everything you could need! Our kids were so impressed with the smoothie machine and air fryer. We all enjoyed the large TV and super comfortable beds. The pool area with the loungers and lights at night was amazing. Jannett is the most gracious host. Her patience, understanding, knowledge and genuine desire for guests to thoroughly enjoy themselves is evident in each interaction. She replied to every message with efficiency and positivity. Her recommendations for local attractions were great. Don't miss the Masaya Market, Paradiso Beach Club, Catarina or ziplining with Next Adventure Nicaragua. You won't be disappointed staying at Jannett's 🐕❤️

I can’t even begin to explain how amazing this home and its host are. The photos honestly don’t do this place justice. From the moment we arrived, it was clear how much care and thought had gone into creating such a beautiful and welcoming space. The host truly went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Every little detail was taken care of, which made our stay feel so effortless and special. And the beds… if sleeping on a cloud were possible, this would be it! They were some of the most comfortable beds I’ve ever slept in. The house had absolutely everything we could have asked for, and being surrounded by nature made the experience even more magical. Waking up to the breathtaking views and peaceful atmosphere was something we’ll never forget. This wasn’t just a place to stay it felt like a home. We left with wonderful memories and can’t wait to come back. I would recommend this place to anyone without hesitation. Thank you for making our stay so unforgettable

Jannett is an amazing host that took care of us above our expectation. Althought the location is a bit tricky to find as GPS in the area (and a lot of places is Nicaragua) is not easy to find, it is one of the nicest place I had the opportunity to stay at. The view of the Laguna is nothing short from stunning...

La Dolce Vita was exactly as expected! It was beautiful, clean, and private with a breathtaking view. I’m not a dog person but I took a chance booking this place knowing there was a dog that stayed on the premises and I’m glad I did. There was no concern of safety but Linda the dog added another layer of protection. She was very friendly and well behaved. Oh, and I have to give praise to the great communication and accommodations that Jannett provided!! My stay was a 10/10.

Amazing stay in a truly unique location! The house is surrounded by a nature reserve — we saw monkeys every day and enjoyed incredible jungle sounds. The views over the lake and jungle are absolutely stunning, and the place is very private and peaceful with no road noise at all. The house itself is new, beautifully designed with panoramic windows, and fully equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Furniture and amenities are all in excellent condition. Janet was a wonderful host — very attentive, responsive, and helpful throughout our stay.
