Private luxury villa with pool in Granada - Houses for Rent in Granada, Granada, Nicaragua

Our stay was wonderful! The house was absolutely beautiful and looked exactly like the photos. It was very clean, and the bathrooms were spotless, which we really appreciated. The location was also very convenient, as it was close to the main restaurants, making it easy to get around and enjoy the area. We also took the host’s recommendation for an in-home massage, and it was exceptional—definitely one of the highlights of our trip. The only minor issues were that the air conditioning was a little inconsistent at times, and the neighborhood on the way to the house felt a bit rough at first. However, once we arrived at the property, we felt completely comfortable and safe. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a beautiful, clean, and comfortable place to stay.

Beautiful home with stunning architecture and a truly special atmosphere. The outdoor kitchen was fantastic, the rooms were spacious, and the daily housekeeping was a nice surprise. A huge thank you to Karina, who was incredibly kind, responsive, and made everything seamless. That said, I wouldn’t recommend this home for families with young children. The bedrooms are separated by an open-air space, so checking on kids at night means walking outside across the house. The 15-minute walk to town is manageable for adults but difficult with kids, especially with horse manure, dead animals along the road, and several intoxicated locals at night. One evening my husband and I almost intervened as a young woman was being harassed, which made the walk feel uncomfortable after dark. The home could benefit from a bit more maintenance and deeper cleaning to match its beauty. Overall, great for couples, groups of friends or adults looking for a unique and stylish place to stay. Thanks Karina!

Our family loved our stay at Casa Violeta! The design and aesthetic are a 10/10—every detail is beautiful. The location is ideal, just a 5–10 minute walk to Granada’s main square. The private courtyard and plunge pool were a favorite. After hot days exploring, it was the perfect place to cool off and recharge. The beds were comfortably firm, each with both a soft and firm pillow, and there were plenty of towels. The views were wonderful. The host’s recommendations truly made our trip. Garden Café, Isletas El Espino, Alberto as our tour guide, and Manuel for a massage helped create the perfect first visit to Granada. One note: you’ll hear roosters in the morning, which we loved because it added to the authentic experience. If you’re a light sleeper, maybe bring earplugs. Thank you for helping make this a magical trip for our family. We can’t wait to stay at Casa Violeta again!

What a hidden gem! Plan to stay here any chance I go back to Granada! 💙🤍🇳🇮

Casa Violeta was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Nicaragua. The house is even more beautiful in person, every detail feels intentional, from the architecture and colorful interiors to the gorgeous courtyard and pool. It has so much character and manages to feel both incredibly stylish and completely relaxing. The location was perfect for exploring Granada, while still feeling like a private little oasis to come home to. We especially loved being able to enjoy slow mornings, relax by the pool, and even organize massages at the house. It was the perfect home base for our time in Granada and made the entire experience feel extra special. Casa Violeta is the kind of place you genuinely don’t want to leave. We would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable, beautifully designed stay in Granada.

Our stay was incredible and the flexibility at checkout with an added 30 minutes was gracious of the host. One of the best properties I’ve stayed at personally.

This house is absolutely beautiful and was a perfect stay for us in Granada. The host was very responsive, easy check-in and the kids loved swimming in the pool. Easy walk to restaurants & very secure.

Katalina’s home is absolutely stunning! It was everything I had imagined and hoped it would be— and somehow even more! The design is incredible, such elegance and comfort, the ambience day or night, rain or shine, just oozes luxury vacation vibes. All of the little touches were appreciated— from the Nicaraguan art, super high speed fans, each hanging light and potted plant, to the friendly staff, local recommendations and even Spotify playlists provided to enjoy on the Bluetooth speaker. I can’t wait to come back! Also I’ll mention that we never once felt the need for a car or taxi, we walked to the lakefront pier, all around the centre of town in every direction and not only felt safe but thoroughly enjoyed sightseeing, all of the great restaurants, and walking home after. If you’re even considering another place to stay— don’t! THIS is the best spot in Granada!

Our stay was very enjoyable. Everything was just as described. Very comfortable stay! Thank you!

This was our second time staying at the home. I am an Air BNB host myself, and this is the most gorgeous Air BNB I’ve ever stayed at. 10/10 recommend!

This Airbnb is magical! You can feel yourself as in a special magazine

We really loved this beautiful house; it's very unique and very comfortable. Very nicely decorated, with a lovely pool to cool off in. I found nothing negative to say.

Nous avons vraiment adoré cette belle maison, très originale et très confortable. Très joliment décorée avec une jolie picsine pour se rafraîchir. Je n'ai rien trouvé de négatif à dire.

It was an amazing experience, very communicative and helpful. Also cleaning lady left everything spotless.

WOW! This house is amazing! Friendly local neighborhood and a short walk to incredible restaurants and the city center. Take all Katalina’s suggestions and get a massage from Manuel at the house and go on a tour with Alberto. We will be back!

This place exceeded our expectations. The pictures do t do it justice. Easy to walk to the main area and, very safe and secure. Highly recommended!

Easily one of the most beautiful, unique Airbnb’s I’ve ever stayed! The open concept into the pool and courtyard is stunning! The beds were comfortable and rooms were nice and cool, and we loved having bathrooms in every room. I would 1000% recommend!

This place was absolutely stunning, lighting at night was amazing sets a really romantic setting. Great for the kids as well. Definitely my favourite place so far

The home was absolutely stunning! We loved where we stayed and loved the design. Just giving hears up the shared spaces are all out in the open and not AC , however all the rooms had amazing GREAT AC! Each room had its own bathroom and there’s another outdoor shower and bathroom downstairs by the pool. Had everything we needed. Also heads up there are stairs if you have luggages! The location is a little off from the man lively center where all the restaurants are at but it’s walkable. For people sensitive with noise, there will be roosters and a lot of birds chirping throughout the night - just bring ear plugs. The guest and host were accommodating and amazing! We utilized the massage services listed in the brochure because it was so affordable and it was in house ! Highly recommend you contact the masseur asap to get an appointment!

We had the most wonderful time! It really is better than the pictures. The perfect base from which to explore the city.

Lovely, comfortable place in a good location.  I commend the owner on stocking the kitchen with most everything one needs if you decide to cook.  And the pool is really great for dunking on a hot afternoon.  I recommend the place.

Casa Violeta was as spectacular as the pictures suggest! We had a great few days: take a book and enjoy lounging around the pool. The hosts are incredibly helpful and responsive. A few things of which to be aware having looked at some other reviews. Firstly (and this is why we loved it) it is genuinely inside/outside: it’s not a hermetically sealed, AC box like you get in a hotel but something more special. That does mean though you’ll get a couple of bugs and the sounds of Granada (especially some barky dogs) when you are in the living space. It is also a couple of blocks off the main street, but the side street is wide, well lit and residential: it didn’t give us any concerns. All in all an amazing property and one to be enjoyed!

This was such a beautiful space. A little oasis in Grenada. The space itself was very thoughtfully designed and made you feel like you were not in Granada at all. Only a couple minutes walk to the main town area. My one negative thing is that the beds are very uncomfortable and have metal springs that make it really hard to sleep. They don’t provide any extra pillows. Only 2 pillows per bed which is tough when you and your partner are sharing a bed. I personally sleep with two pillows and I ended up having to use a towel to sleep with which sucked. I thought this was a bit out of character based on how much effort went into the rest of the space.

This home is absolutely spectacular. Would recommend it to any in staying in Granada. Not only is the decor dreamy but the main streams are two short blocks away.

Casa Violeta was absolutely stunning!  Better than the pictures even portrayed. The beds were comfortable and the open area with the pool just invited us to loung there all day.  I honestly can say I think this might have been the nicest Airbnb I've ever stayed in!  The host and property manager, Katrina, was also incredibly helpful, responsive and provided excellent recommendations for things to do in the area.  Luis was a 10/10! Courtesy, easy to communicate with, and reliable. He drove us to and from the airport and to a few places around Granada.  We LOVED our dinner at Isleta El Espino!  We also loved walking around Granada - everyone we met was so warm and friendly.  And do not go there without booking an on-site massage with Manuel.  Amazing!

We had a wonderful stay at Katalina’s! The house is lovely - a serene and beautiful oasis, and within walking distance to several restaurants and activities. 

We also really enjoyed her recommendations for places to visit and experiences, including touring the Masaya volcano with Alberto, the in-home massage services and dinner at NH!

The home was clean and in a great location to explore Granada. Luis the driver was very helpful!

We loved this house! It was a peaceful retreat and one of the more special places we have stayed. The design and comfort were excellent and we hope to stay again.

I’ve stayed in many Airbnbs and I’m also a host. This is the coolest Airbnb that I’ve ever been in in any country hands-down. I could not recommend more!

Awesome location. Off the main roads, but close to everything. Beautiful spot, gated and secure. Garage if needed.

Beautiful place with stunning design.  For future guests, note, that it is a little off the centro and on a side street with some colorful characters.  We did walk into the centro as a family with small children but we do tend to be more on the adventurous side of our US friend spectrum.  The kitchen is outdoors and does not have a microwave.  Bring bug spray.  The hosts are very attentive.  We enjoyed our 2 night stay.

Pictures do not do this place justice. I was shocked to see how beautiful and well designed the common spaces were. I also appreciate how quickly the hosts responded whenever I had questions. Definitely would come back if I visit Granada again.

Loved the Concept! Amazing decorations and style of this place. Very clean and cozy, perfect for a family vacation with kids!!

A super stylish slice of paradise in a lively neighbourhood where everyone says hello (if you sleep light take ear plugs). Easy walking to food spots, too. Katalina was so helpful and kind & Luis really looked after us. We loved every moment.

Had the best time. The pool was incredible. Walking distance to the center of the city, market, etc

Amazing place v tranquil - probably didn’t get enough time to spend in the actual home but would definitely stay again. Cleaning throughout the week is. Nice touch Katalina and Karina the caretaker were very responsive in help with any questions or ideas about activities in Granada. Location is excellent and short walk. Disregard any other comments about a sketchy neighborhood… your are in one of the poorest countries in the western hemisphere you will naturally see some levels of poverty. It felt very safe and all the locals were v friendly. Granada is also an amazing stop we were there 4 days and the time flew. Thx again

The interior property photos are accurate. However, if the surrounding area was included in the description/photos, we would not have stayed here. It is not very safe. Immediately exiting the property, there are people begging for money, dogs roaming free, manure EVERYWHERE, foul odor of sewage, and so on. 2 elderly members of our group grew up in Nicaragua and they made the comment about how unsafe they felt here. The accommodations themselves are average. Yes, the interior is beautiful, but there are several misses. We asked for extra pillows and linens. The response from management was there were none available. There are no bathroom amenities aside from liquid soap (body and hair). The wall air unit in bedroom 2 and 3 did not cool very well. The unit in #1 worked just fine. All of the drapes covering the bedroom doors are too small and transparent. You’re up at 530am with the sun. The refrigerator had a sour odor. I would not recommend this property. There are way better options.

This house is my dream House!! Beautiful, secure and comfortable. I will definitely come back!

Architectural gem, incredibly peaceful, yet so close to Granada’s many attractions.

The pool and public parts of the property are as beautiful as you can imagine.  And Karina was very helpful with our arrival and any inquiries during our stay.

Loved my stay here! The design and architecture of the house are stunning—every detail feels thoughtfully curated. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the pool was just amazing—perfect for relaxing any time of day. The host was very responsive and provided excellent recommendations for local food spots and reliable taxis, which made everything easy and enjoyable. I would stay here again and highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area.

This place was even better than the photos! The pool is so nice especially at night — perfect for lounging all day or taking a dip under the stars. The decor throughout the house is gorgeous, super thoughtfully designed with a mix of local style and modern touches. Every corner felt like it belonged in a magazine. Super clean, comfortable, and just an overall relaxing vibe. Would 100% stay here again!

I have had Casa Violeta saved in my wishlist for years and was finally able to find an a calendar opening and round up a group of friends. As many have mentioned, it is even more lovely than the photos. Nestled at the end of a road, you get many bird sounds and stunning views of the volcano from the second floor. We particularly appreciated how helpful the hosts were (gave us the wonderful recommendation to head to Isleta Espino after - highly recommend) and many tips for how to enjoy our stay. Airport pick-up and drop were a breeze with Luis/Nelson. Definitely arrange massages at the house, poolside, with Manuel - ideally more than once, honestly top massage experience. We enjoyed our two afternoon tours with Alberto. He is a friendly, knowledgeable historian who introduced us to Granada town and led us on a hike in the cloud forest. One night we really just wanted to stay at the Casa, so ordered Pita Pita for delivery and enjoyed the space and a night swim. Book!

Casa Violeta is easily one of the most beautiful homes I’ve ever stayed in. Every detail in at home was perfectly curated. Karina was wonderful and set us up in the home when we arrived. There is a comprehensive guest book that provides tons of resources. We immediately contacted Alberto who came by the house and took us on a four hour Walking Tour. His English was perfect and he provided so much history about Granada. We loved him so much that we hired him the next day to give us a tour of the cloud forest/volcano and a boat tour of the islands. I honestly cannot say enough about the experience. If I could give this home and the experience 10 stars I would!!!

We loved our time at Casa Violeta. Easily one of the most beautiful places we have stayed in many years of traveling. We greatly enjoyed the pool on hot afternoons after hiking. Restaurants close by, though you may find you want to stay around the house because it’s so nice. Comfortable and spacious rooms. We also really enjoyed our boat tour with the host’s recommended guide Alberto. The only downside is that the neighborhood can be a little noisy, especially early in the morning with barking dogs, but that’s probably true in most of Granada!

Beautiful villa true to pics! Was a great stop over destination while in Granada - peaceful, quiet and walkable to town. The pool and lounge areas were relaxing for the group. It’s open air with fans but bedrooms have ACs. Well done but there are small harmless ants and gekkos as you would expect. Host responsive and on site security was always present. Beds could be more comfy. Overall great experience!

We loved our stay and would highly recommend this place. Great decor, nice courtyard. Beautiful lighting in the downstairs. 3 bedrooms each with an attached bathroom and big beds. We were very comfortable. Great recommendations including an exceptional meal at NM culinary, Alberto for tours and Luis to pick us up at the airport and drop us off at our next location. Feedback for further improvements would be to add larger/darker curtains to the bedrooms and a washer/dryer for laundry. Also the neighborhood was relatively desolate. Overall would highly recommend this place.

I had an amazing stay at this stunning villa in Granada! The space was exactly as pictured—beautiful, well-maintained, and truly a relaxing retreat. While Granada has some great restaurants, I wouldn’t necessarily recommend staying here as the sole destination, as there isn’t a ton to do. That said, Nicaragua as a whole offers plenty of incredible experiences to explore. The host was absolutely fantastic—super responsive, helpful, and went above and beyond with recommendations and reservations to make my stay seamless. I highly recommend this villa—you won’t be disappointed! I’ll definitely be back. 🌟

Casa Violeta was beyond what we could have imagined, as a traveling group of 4 women. It's literally *perfect*! Exactly like the photos + even more beautiful in-person. Waking-up in private bedroom suites, walking out to a beautiful open-floor plan, gorgeous chirping birds, lush greenery, stunning views of the Mombacho volcano, the yellow domes from the Church in the distance, and plenty of seating areas centered around a very inviting pool. Katalina + her team are ultra responsive, helping us with every question and giving the best advice for spots around town + beyond. We literally went to 90% of all of her suggestions and it truly made our trip one we will all never forget! From NM Culinary, to Isleta El Espino, Manuel for in-casa massages, and incredible customized adventures w/tour guide Alberto (volcano adventures, culinary trips, historic sites, and his overall knowledge of Nicaragua was astounding - high recommend!). By the end of our trip, we all wished we could stay longer!

Seamless checkin/checkout. Property as advertised.  Had a great time.

Casa Violeta is great, a beautiful home. Such a nice design, lovely finishings and the town of Granada is so nice. We loved Tostometros burgers, the mentalist show down the road, a night trip to a restaurant out on the lake, strolling through the markets and dinner at NM Culinary. Luis was also an excellent driver.

We had an incredible stay at Casa Violeta!  For my husband 60th birthday, we decided to go back to Nicaragua with the kids the place was exactly as advertised dreamy, comfortable and well situated. The home owners went beyond and above with the interior design which was very inspiring. The team was extremely reactive and responsive making sure we were happy during our stay. We will hopefully come back. Thank you

All good, very nice house, open and nice.  Large, well equipped kitchen, lift up like the  pool.

Tot bé, casa molt bonica, oberta i agradable.  Cuina gran i ben equipada, aixi com la  piscina.

Awesome place. Aesthetically pleasing and looks like a mini-paradise. It’s on Architectural Digest for a reason. Katalina is an amazing host and is very helpful and proactive with her responses. All her recommendations were spot on. Locals were also very friendly and area felt generally safe. Would 100% stay there again

Absolutely stunning home that was even better in person than in pictures (and the pictures are beautiful!). Everything is very well thought out; it's not only beautifully designed but also with great amenities. From the elegant decorations, lush plants and beautiful rooms, this house is the perfect place to relax and truly unwind while on vacation in Granada. We really appreciated the numerous recommendations for anything you want to do in Granada. It's a luxurious experience where you can schedule in house massages, hire a private driver and relax in the oasis of the pool/courtyard. Highly recommend this home to anyone staying in Granada!

Wow! This place is incredible, even more beautiful in person! The host is so quick to respond and is a very lovely person! She helped us with whatever we asked. The place was spotless and the design is impeccable. We had the best time here. Would recipe d to anyone! Granada has a lot of fun stuff to offer and this is a short walk from the old town and many great restaurants. The air conditioning and hot water worked perfect. Rooms are well lit and spacious. Security is also top notch with a guard at night on top of the gated area and security system.

Incredible stay in Casa Violeta… it is as beautiful as it looks and serves as a comfortable home base for exploring Granada and surrounding areas. We did the walking tour and classic tour with Alberto and his knowledge and recommendations really enhanced our time in Granada. Massages with Manuel are a must as well! Throughout the stay, we felt well supported by house manager, Karina, and it was nice to have a local contact on the ground. Because of all these things, I would book again without hesitation!

Beautiful decor, well equipped house, rooms are comfortable, it was a very relaxing stay, place is beautiful, location is ideal it's very centric.

We absolutely loved our stay here. Great house in a great location. We would love to stay here again the future.

This is one the most beautiful properties i’ve ever stayed in! Don’t think , book! Katalina was very helpful with great recommendations for excursions, transportation and food! 10/10 Highly recommend staying here!

The common area is the most beautiful we’ve ever seen, making us feel like millionaires (with good taste). The neighborhood is a little rough— but just a 1-2 minute walk to Central Park and easy access to the city. The host was incredibly attentive and resolved a fridge issue quickly and professionally. The views from the second story are breathtaking, with a volcano in one direction and a cathedral in the other. We loved lounging by the pool, listening to music, and enjoying the lush greenery and open-air design. A couple of things to note: all the bedrooms are similar, so don’t expect a grand master suite. The showerhead in the bedroom near the street needs some attention, and that room can be noisy at night. The garage was tight for our SUV but manageable. Despite these minor points, the place is stylish, well-appointed, and perfect for a luxury getaway. Bonus: the host has fantastic taste in decor and lighting, making the space feel truly special. We highly recommend it!

I've been dreaming about this house for a few years and finally booked the trip! Casa Violeta is everything and more. Beautifully designed/decorated, private and secure, convenient to local restaurants, markets and shops, and just magical. Definitely get a massage from Manuel! The house staff is so welcoming and friendly.

I really enjoyed spending time at Katalina’s place in Granda. The house is absolutely stunning and I enjoyed spending days by the pool and evenings in the open living room. I also worked remote a few days and the WiFi worked well.

This is such a beautiful house that I was lucky to have been able to stay in. The photos really only capture the design but once you are in there it is so spacious. The kitchen is well appointed and easy to use for cooking. I loved the upstairs balcony and seating area. Everything worked super well in the bathroom, air conditioning etc. The show stopper is, of course, the pool. It was luxurious to get to hop in and out and relax under the beautiful plants. The location is in a local neighborhood and I walked out every morning and said hello to people and went to restaurants etc. the main square is ~15 minutes away. The restaurants surrounding had incredible coffee and food. I can’t wait to come back and explore more!

Beautiful home - we enjoyed our stay here.  Hosts are great and the manager was very responsive.  Thank you for letting us stay here.

Paradise in Granada! This place was a beautiful way to start our vacation in Nicaragua. My wife and I took my family and we were all so happy with our decision. Not only is an "out of this world" real estate, but is also so private and with a beautiful lookout to the Momotombo and the Cathedral. If I plan to stay outside of Managua, this would be the number 1 place I would choose over and over again. Thank you to the host and Karina who were in contact with me the entire time. If we needed anything, they reply in no-time. I recommend this place to locals and foreigners. If I could rate this place by the stars, it would totally be way beyond 5.

Excellent! The space was centrally located and beautiful. Pictures couldn’t do it justice. Everything was tasteful and elegant. Check in was seamless and they had great recommendations for the area.

This place is amazing - the photos do not give full justice to Katalina’s casa. We had an awesome trip in Grenada and would come back here any time.

Lovely home and excellent communication. Everything was exactly as described. 10/10 highly recommend!

We absolutely adored the unique decor and layout of Casa Violeta. We arrived late in the evening but communication with property manager Karina was seamless and she was waiting for us when we arrived. It was magical seeing the house at night with all the courtyard and pool lighting aglow for the first time. Our family of 6 (kids ages 11,8,6/6) loved the indoor/outdoor setting and couldn’t wait to get downstairs and into the pool each morning and again as soon as we returned from our adventures. The location was private but still an easy walk into the main square. Katalina’s recommendations were spot on for restaurants and outings and we especially enjoyed touring Las Isletas with her recommended guide, Alberto. We are already thinking about a return to Nicaragua and will most definitely stay at Casa Violeta again.

We had a fantastic time in Casa Violeta. Granada is a wonderful place albeit somewhat chaotic. Casa Violeta was perfect for cooling down and rest after a day of adventure.

Amazing house!!!! Loved the pool and decor of the place!! It is like an oasis and we couldn’t have been happier!!! Thank you so much we would definitely stay again!!!

Katalina’s place is probably aesthetically better than showcased in the photos. The place is beautiful and directly inside of a neighbourhood, so you’re directly interacting with locals—which made it even better. We enjoyed ALL of the amenities & layouts and our local property managers and the gate security (Ilio) was a HUGE help. The strip with all the food and restaurants was lovely and picture-es que and the market vendors are also fantastic I would highly recommend this place to stay for a local and international flair. Silvio, the guard at the gate, is FANTASTIC and can help in hailing a taxi. Karina the property manager is AWESOME! Note: Some locals will ask for money / food / drinks as you walk the neighbourhood, we politely declined. Also, the taxi listed for local Luis is from out of the community so he charges $26 USD for 12 mins round trip in town, but his prices seem reasonable for going out of town, having the security hail a taxi for you will give you the local rate

Beautiful house, super comfortable, we spent an amazing weekend chilling by the pool. The location is great, close to everything, we will be back!

The space was beautifully decorated and comfortable. We loved the inside/outside living with strong a/c in the rooms for night time. The ambiance for both day and night was great. All of the staff were amazing and friendly. Silvio and Katerina were great and very responsive. The road itself felt a little unsafe but Silvio made us feel comfortable and secure. The furniture and fixtures had a great design and we understand why they made the decorative choices using a lot of locally sourced items and truly showcasing the character of Granada however I wouldn't recommend it for families or those traveling with small kids because of the open stair case. Would definitely return and stay again! Maybe with a larger group and renting both locations.

We were two couples and spent our last two nights in the country at Casa Violeta.  We loved the beautiful design of the home and the pool was so refreshing in the evenings and afternoon for a break from the heat.  Katalina and Karina were very responsive to any of our needs.  The house was a short walk to all the main attractions and restaurants and we never felt concerned walking back in the evenings after dark.  There was neighborhood noises that you could hear from the bedrooms such as dogs barking and roosters crowing so if you are a light sleeper I would suggest ear plugs however this is probably going to be an issue for a light sleeper anywhere in the city and not just this home.  Overall we had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend this home to anyone coming to Granada looking for luxury accommodations.

We (family of 5) so enjoyed our visit. The home was a perfect size, and the outdoor sala a wonderful place to hang out and play games, eat, read, etc. The rooms were super comfy and clean, and the location very walkable anywhere. Our hosts were perfect - always available for ideas, help, suggestions, anything! We will be definitely returning here next time!

Such an incredible home. It was a great place for our family of six!

Casa Violeta exceeded my expectations.  It was so beautifully decorated and the pool was a great place to cool down. All of Katalina’s recommendations were spot on. We went to the garden cafe multiple times (amazing fresh food), spent our last night splurging at NM Culinary, and booked the walking tour with Alberto (highly recommend). There was some music and dogs barking during the night so I would suggest getting ear plugs if you are a light sleeper.  Karina was really responsive and showed us around on arrival. Thank you for an amazing stay!

We really enjoyed our time in your beautifully curated space! It was hard to leave to go explore but each time we arrived back it was a treat to enter back into paradise from a hectic city. All the experiences, restaurants , and people that helped us around town were really great! I would like anyone coming down to make sure they have new clean US bills as the locals are really fussy about any markings.

Beautiful townhouse very close to the center of Granada. Design and decor are truly unique. We would come back out.

Wunderschönes Townhouse sehr nahe am Zentrum von Granada. Design und Einrichtung sind wirklich einzigartig. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen.

We loved our stay at Casa Violeta!  The house was beautiful and our kids loved playing in the pool and relaxing on the many couches.  The air conditioning in the bedrooms was a lovely luxury as it was quite hot during our stay.  All Katalina’s recommendations were spot on.  Our kids loved the Garden Cafe and Mona Lisa’s pizza restaurant.  Luis drove us to Casa Marimba on Laguna de Apoyo and we had the best day! Cannot recommend the day trip enough.  We also had a great private chocolate tasting and tour at Argencove.  Can’t wait to visit again.

What a great Airbnb experience! A stylish space which provides space and privacy, just a few minutes walk from the best of Granada’s bars and restaurants. Loved the A/C in the bedrooms, the patio and pool area, the design touches, and Katalina’s recommendations and responsiveness. The cathedral and volcano views from the first floor outdoor seating area were a nice surprise! Highly recommend Casa Violeta as your Granada base.

Casa Violeta was amazing, and looks just like the pictures.  Our stay in late March was very hot, so having the swimming pool for frequent dips was wonderful.  We used Alberto for our tours, and I highly recommend him as an educated and very understandable tour guide.  We especially loved our trips with him to Apoyo Crater Lake and Les Isletas...such unique and beautiful spots!  We loved sunsets and evenings relaxing on the second floor balcony, with its beautiful breezes.  Katalina was an excellent communicator, and has a staff that makes sure that, as her guest, you are taken care of at all times.   I would highly recommend Casa Violeta as a totally unique, comfortable and stunning place to stay.

We loved our stay at Casa Violeta and would highly recommend it! Communication was great, and we took many of Katalina’s suggestions to make our time in Granada memorable

What a gem! We had a wonderful time and cannot wait to come back. It was a dreamy place and stay. We were so thankful we got connected to Luis for driving us from and to the airport and also to our getaway on the islands. We really enjoyed Alberto’s tour and Manuel’s massages. Do not hesitate to book this place.

Beautiful stay — matched the photos and we had a lovely girls trip! Katalina was great at communicating ahead of time and we worked with her property manager Karina for check in / check out who was super helpful with accommodating our schedule and providing local driver recs. The location is just a few blocks off of a busy street with bars and restaurants. Hope to visit again some day!

We had a wonderful stay here.  We appreciated how responsive the local staff was, and Katalina answered our questions quickly, too.  We tried out many of the local restaurants and stores recommended in the house literature.  So many tasty dining options in Granada!  Alberto was a fabulous guide, and we had numerous outings with him during our trip: boating, zip lining, volcano tour and city tour.  We highly recommend connecting with Alberto while in Granada.  What a lovely way to celebrate my parents’ 60th wedding anniversary.

We loved our stay at Katalina's place. From the design to the recommendations, everything was perfect. We loved being able to hang by the pool or read books on the couches and then going out for walks in the city. While we were there, we went to Laguna Apoyo, we did a city tour and also went to a volcano. We got massages at the house and checked out a few of the restaurants that were recommended. It was so easy to unplug and rest. If you're thinking about staying here, do it! You won't be disappointed.

Casa Violeta was perfect. This was our first time in Nicaragua and I could not recommend the country, Granada and Casa Violeta more!  The house was beautiful and felt like an oasis. All of Katalina’s recommendations were great!  Alberto’s tours made our trip!  We did his walking tour, Lake Apoyo/Masaya Volcano and kayaking through the islands. He was so knowledgeable about the history and environment. He even took me to the tile factory after I talked so much about how beautiful it was everywhere. Luis drove us to and from our next destination. Our flight was slightly delayed so he surprised us at town that had a gorgeous view and purchased some local fruits for us to try. He was also great!  This house and these guides are a must!  We will be back!!

Katalina's place is absolutely lovely and matches all the pictures and beyond!  The downstairs open plan complete with pool is a wonderful place to relax and hang (just beware the kitchen/living/dining are open to the pool; there are no doors so there is no escaping the bugs but it was minor) .  The interior design is absolutely gorgeous.  The bedrooms each with en suite are beautiful.   We also particularly loved the top area hang out table with the gorgeous views of the town and the volcano.  We always did sunset happy hour up there.   We really appreciated all of Katalina's great recommendations including Luis for airport pick up and ride to Laguna de Apoyo (definitely do this for at least half a day); Alberto for a tour (we did a wonderful volcano walk); Manuel for one of the best massages ever and an incredible tasting menu at NM Culinary.   Grenada is a cute and friendly walkable city and we really enjoyed our time there.

We absolutely loved our time at Casa Violeta! The space is beautiful and clean, it’s an incredibly peaceful spot amid the busy town. Katalina’s recommendations were excellent. We have nothing but great things to say about the hosts, the property, and the rest of the experience.

The house was beautifully appointed. I felt very safe and taken care of. Karina, the house manager was very kind and generous and communicated in a timely fashion. Alex, the driver they recommended, was also great. My only flaw with the property were the mattresses, which were too spartan for my taste… but I’m admittedly a princess and the pea kind of sleeper. A/c in the rooms worked well.
