Colonial House "La Gran Sultana" - Townhouses for Rent in Granada, Granada, Nicaragua

Probably one of the best and most unique airbnbs I’ve ever stayed at.  So close to everything we need and the house was massive with many areas to socialize and plenty of room to sleep.

Beautiful house, everything was close by and we had a great time there.

This was our favorite Airbnb of the entire trip! The home is absolutely beautiful, spacious, and full of character. Every detail added to its charm, and it truly felt like a special place to stay. The location was unbeatable—we were able to walk to restaurants, cafés, and shops with ease, and we loved doing our morning walks through the beautiful streets of Granada. Beila was wonderful throughout our stay—always friendly, responsive, and incredibly helpful. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would gladly stay here again. Highly recommend! ❤️🇳🇮

We loved Margarita’s place. It is beautiful and very well stocked up.  The pool was definitely a hit!

Many thanks Patricia! It was a pleasure and easy to receive your family, communication was excellent! You are most welcome to come back!

This was an amazing Airbnb to stay in. First off- it’s huge and there is a ton of space inside. Bedrooms were good and clean. AC worked great. We had a minimal charge for the additional Electricity. My kids loved the home and the surrounding area! Hosts were amazing and very helpful. If I were you- I’d stay here!!!  We will be back again to visit soon!!!!!!!!!

We had a quiet weekend, we felt comfortable and the location was very good.

Pasamos un fin de semana  tranquilo , no sentimos cómodos y la ubicación fue muy buena .

Everything was excellent, the person in charge was very friendly and understanding. She was even very fair with some extra charges. I'm more than satisfied with everything.

Todo muy excelente, la persona a cargo muy amable y comprensiva. Incluso fue muy justa con algunos cargos extras. Yo voy mas que satisfecho con todo.

We stayed with 6 adults / 4 kids / 1 dog.  The pool is small but the kids loved it and it was used multiple times a day.  Kitchen was well stocked with pots/pans/dishes/glasses. We cooked a few meals there including a big Christmas feast.  Space for parking two cars - very secure and private. Easily walk around Granada. Lots of restaurants nearby and coffee right across the street.  Margarita and House Manager Belia were very responsive - helping arrange a ride to the airport and suggestions on activities in the area.

Thank you Steve for your comment! We enjoyed receiving you, even the dog has left  dog hair in quite a lot of space.

The house is beautiful and as clean as you can get a 200+ year old house. Margarita was sweet and helped us find things we wanted to buy while we were visiting.What kind of made the trip less than great was that electricity was not included in the over 400 dollar rent. Call me old fashioned but a vacation should be stress free. Air, water, soap, towels, and electricity should be part of rent.  We should not have to wonder what using the air conditioner would cost when we are hot. We were told to run the pool filter for two hours per day. We don’t know what the mandatory filter will cost. If it were a 25 dollar per day rental it makes sense that you can’t pay that and use 25 dollars of electricity. I just recommend add 20 bucks to the rent and drop the fee.

Thank you Terry for visiting us. Your comment is perceived as slightly harsh, considering the specific attention you have requested and received from us! Include or not the electricity in the renting price is a dilema, and we describe it in the house presentation. With 4 aircon in the house, the cost of electricity being so high in Nicaragua, it will depend a lot on the aircon temperature defined by the renter. This is why we believe it is fair to provide a credit for electricity per day to cover the basic use. And by the way, you did not have to pay anything extra as you were in the pattern of your credit. As regards the filter of the pool, this was a suggestion to keep the water perfectly clean, there is no obligation.

well worth the stay.  great location central .. walking distance to most anywhere in town

Great thing to see people coming at the house enjoying! I would like to be there!!! 😇

The owner communicated very poorly.  No flexibility for changes, it charged more for use of lamps as the air condition was not working. I had to submit a complaint to Airbnb to ask for support and request a refund, which was granted to me. Be careful with extra charges.

La dueña se comunicó de muy pobre manera.  Sin flexibilidad para cambios, cobró demás por uso de lámparas pues el aire acondicionado no funcionaba. Tuve que enviar una queja a Airbnb para pedir apoyo y solicitar un reembolso, lo cual se me concedió. Cuidado con los cargos extras.

Hay vezes que la comunicacion no funciona. Este senor se enojo en 1er lugar porque no se le respondia de imediato acerca de su llegada a la casa en 8 dias. Despues se disculpo, penso que estaba hablando con un dueno en San Pedro Sula. Comunico 2 telefonos, uno en USA y otro en Mexico, se sorprende que uno escoga el que finalmente no se llevo. Se queja de detalles en la casa -al abrir la puerta de la calle, se cayo un pedazito de yeso, considera que es una falta de mantenimiento, saca una foto de un animalito en una casa que tiene patio abierto y argumenta que la casa no esta limpia!!! Gente que causa problemas, que no disfruta de su estadia sino que se queja, ni que sabe hacer funcionar un aire. Le dio cita a la responsable de la casa a las 8 am para entregarle la casa, y se fue antes sin avisar. Cuenta cuentos porque la electricidad que no pago, Airbnb se la cobro. Los cargo extras, si fueran estan explicados en la descripcion de la casa (la electricidad esta cara en Nicaragua, nosotros incluimos un consumo basico en el precio diario, despues cobramos el KWh al costo, es eleccion del inquilino, no son cargos extras).

Beautiful house perfectly centred to all amenities. The house had everything you needed to relax and chill. The house manager was available at all times and assisted with any questions we had. We have not words to describe how perfect our time at Casa La Gran Sultana was. Thank you Margarita and Bhelia for everything you did to ensure we had a great vacation.

Thank you Gina for your kind comments! It was easy indeed to support you and your positive attitude is what we look for, that is people who come to Granada to enjoy the city and the house!

Casa LA Gran Sultana was perfect.  Great location. Around the corner from central park. We were extremely impressed with the house. It was clean and well decorated. Any concerns that we had with the house were quickly addressed by Belia. She was responsive and cordial. Check in and check out were easy. We definitely recommend this place.

Hello Robert! Thank you for your appreciation of the house!!! We like very much to decorate the house! You are most welcome to come back again!

Was a nice space for multiple people. Quiet and AC was a nice bonus in the bedrooms. Large kitchen and dining space was great as well.

I felt right at home the place was very large and comfortable.

We had a wonderful time with friends, the hosts were friendly and attentive all the time. The house is beautiful. I'll definitely be back.

Pasamos un maravilloso tiempo con amigos, los host fueron amables y estuvieron pendientes todo el tiempo. La casa es preciosa. Regresaremos sin duda.

We felt right at home. It was worth staying at the Grand Sultana.

Nos sentimos como en casa. Valió la pena hospedarnos en la Gran Sultana.

Gracias Carlos, son bienvenidos cuando quieran!

We had a great time in this beautiful home. It was perfect and everything was nice and clean.

Thank you for your comment and for taking care of the house!

The location was absolutely perfect. Close to many great restaurants and the central park. All the restaurants that we picked ahead of time were only a few minutes walk. Granada is a beautiful city, but addresses and entries are quite different than the US. Our driver initially had some trouble find the place, but once we got there it was easy to get around. The space was just as advertised, in both pictures and description. It was very clean and we used the dip pool in the courtyard way more than expected. Margarita was excellent to communicate with and quick to respond. We were very happy with the stay and would recommend the space to anyone coming to Granada. The electric allowance is tight, but as they say, electric is very expensive and you have to watch how much you use. Our party of 6 used the a/c quite a bit and had to pay $15 extra at the end. A very small price to pay for an excellent stay!

This coincided with the description of the house Colonial style if you want to feel the vibes of Granada. Very central.

Todo coincidió con la descripción de la casa. Estilo colonial si desean sentir el ambiente de Granada. Muy céntrico.

It was a great experience to meet a different city with family.

Our stay in this beautiful authentic colonial house has been truly a joy. Belia explained everything very well upon arrival and she made sure we got everything we needed. We stayed with two small families and the layout was perfect ( 4 bedrooms, one with 4 single beds all with aircon). We also were very pleased with Martha who took care of the daily maintenance every morning (cleaning). Be aware that electricity in Nicaragua is expensive and only a part of what you might use is covered ( $5,- per day excess is payed at the end of your stay by reading of the meter). We used aircon during the night so therefor we had to pay some excess. Anyway beside this our stay was just wonderful  and very relaxing. Granada and this house are the perfect match, we loved it!

Dear Elena, thank you for your nice comment; as already explained to you I made a mistake on electricity credit, as it is 10$/day credit for 7/8 persons and not 5$, therefore I reimbursed you 20$ through Airbnb.

Photos don’t do these place Justice.  Bigger then photos imply. Very well kept. Spacious kitchen and rooms. Beautiful decoration, appropriate to the home style.   Would recommend this place for anyone looking for a beautiful home to stay in Granada.  The pool is small.  That it shows in the photos, also not deep. Perfect for relaxing.  We had a group of 8 and we never felt crowed.  There are 2 dinning room, plenty of seating at both.  Really enjoyed our time.

Thank you Nydia for visiting La gran Sultana! Thank you for taking care of our house!

Excellent location, amenities, and layout. Wonderfully designed for enjoying time outside in the courtyard, in the pool, or even upstairs playing games. Will definitely be staying here again soon!

Great location and the house was super big, very comfortable

Excelente ubicación y la casa súper grande, muy comoda

Read the other reviews as well. We would not stay here again and I would not recommend you to stay here either. I had to pay extra the day we were to arrive to have use of the whole house and we were asked to pay extra for electricity in cash upon arrival. I’ve stayed in dozens of AirBNB’s in Nicaragua and never had this type of negative experience. The house manager inspected the house before we left and said everything was great, however, I received a report from AirBNB saying the owner wanted $90 in more additional fees to deep clean the house. I was literally shocked! After paying $138 extra for all the bedrooms to be made available to us and paying for electricity now she wanted more money to deep clean the house. It honestly felt like extortion. This was not a good experience and I would look for another home to rent if you plan to go to Granada.

It is difficult indeed to deal with bad faith people. We always rent the house in full, it is ridiculous to say that Kara had to pay additional fee to get access to the whole house. Pricing is based on quantity of people, she applied for 6 and then said that it was 10 people to stay, so we ask her to cover the extra persons. We accepted pet provided they do not go into the rooms: she did not respect this basic rule. When Kara left, there were dog poo and pee on the floor, dirty papers in a corner, we had to throw away some dirty towels and make extra cleaning, I feel confortable to ask the responsible person to pay for extra work and extra cleaning, it is a matter of consideration for the next visitors to come! As regards electricity, this is described in the description of the house: electricity is expensive indeed in Nicaragua, we provide a basic credit for fan and daily use, but if the visitors want to use the aircon, we understand it is their decision and responsibility; extra payment is based on Kwh cost.

The house was in a fabulous location. We have stayed in multiple houses around Granada and this was one of our favorites. The space was great and the house stayed nica and cool with the breeze that came through. Had a great time and would definitely return.

The house looks nicer and bigger than in the pictures. Our kids loved the pool and the hammock. We loved the space and the airconditioned bedrooms. Location is quit and peaceful, but close to the center of Granada, all facalities (bank, restaurants, supermarket) are nearby. The cleaning staff are friendly and very good. We had some initial problems w/ wifi, but this was resolved quickly by the housekeeper. Our biggest regret is that we couldn't stay any longer but had to home.

Margarita together with her local house manager were great hosts. Very communicative and helpful. For us the house was in fact even better than the profile photos and it’s location perfect just a couple of blocks from the Central Park. There were a lot of mosquitos so be prepared to bring repellant and be vigilant shutting doors at dusk and dawn. There was a peculiar arrangement regarding electricity consumption whereby we were asked to leave a cash deposit with meter readings at check in/out. For an eight night stay with three adults and two children we consumed US$50 worth of the deposit we left and the remainder was returned to us. We were neither careful nor wasteful. Not sure why this isn’t priced in the nightly fee but no issue from our perspective. We would happily stay again and would be pleased to recommend the house to others.

Hello Edward. Thank you for visiting La Gran Sultana! We will try to improve our pictures to put it in line with the reality! As regards the mosquitos, you are right it might be an issue and this is not specific to our house, it is citywide (and probably nationwide) sometimes in the year. We are very cautious to avoid puddles of water, the pool is cleaned twice a week and the pump is regularly in action. The windows are equipped with mosquito net. The manager decided to fumigate the house to resolve the issue, but indeed repellant is a must as well as closing the doors at dawn and dusk. As Regards electricity, I share your point of view: our challenge is that consumption of electricity KWh is very much according visitors: some are cautious and switch off the aircon whenever they are not in, some consider it is open bar and maintain a freezing temperature. Electricity is expensive indeed in Nicaragua, we found that providing a basic credit of electricity /day included in the price according quantity of people was a fair proposal.

This is a beautiful home in the colonial tradition of Granada. We loved our visit, and we hope to return again.

My group and I had a great stay at La Gran Sultana! It was very roomy to accommodate for a large group and we did not feel crammed. We felt safe in the neighborhood and enjoyed how close it was to attractions and restaurants.

Probably is a place best suited for groups or families, not a couple as in our case, as there are many bedrooms and beds.  I estimate as many as 30-35 rocking chairs, at least another dozen upright chairs, two large tables for meals seating together probably 16-18 people.  Owner, cleaning lady, and property supervisor all very friendly.  Large kitchen.  Somewhat colonial style, not a lot.  Safe wide street.  Central location.

I stayed in this lovely home for a week recently. The house is incredibly clean, the kitchen well stocked, and the pool is an oasis. I had the best sleeps! The house is also ideally situated near everything but still is incredibly quiet. One of my favourite things about staying here was getting to know the house manager, Belia, who is an incredibly warm and kind woman. She even drove me all the way to Managua and back for an errand. Margarita is also very friendly communicative. I will definitely be back! Gracias por todo Belia y Margarita!

The house is very rich and colorful. It gives a peaceful atmosphere. The pool was perfect for my 5 year old. In the main room there was a reclining couch which was a nice surprise and helpful for my 6 week old baby's night distance. The location of the house is privileged. You can walk to all the most touristic places in downtown. Overall a nice house, nice family that takes care of it. Experience line.

La casa es muy rica y colorida. Da un ambiente de paz. La piscina fue perfecta para mi hijo de 5 años. En el cuarto principal había un sofá reclinable que fue una agradable sorpresa y útil para la lactancia nocturna de mi bebé de 6 semanas. La ubicación de la casa es privilegiada. Se puede llegar a pie a todos los lugares más turísticos del centro de la ciudad. En general linda casa, linda familia que atiende. Línea experiencia.

located near the road , with many things nearby , nice place

situada cerca de la calzada , con muchas cosas cerca , agradable el lugar

All around great stay. The place is HUGE with the great colonial touches that make Granada amazing: open concept, high ceilings, courtyard etc… The only thing to really be mindful is energy usage. They charge for electricity. We arrived around 7p and left around 10a, and were barely in the house, we ended up paying $2 USD. If you are big on AC that could probably jump up significantly. All in all, I would definitely stay there again!

Thank you Eduardo. As regards electricity, the house manager should not have invoiced you with 2$, I owe you a beer next time!. Nevertheless we believe it is important to call the attention of visitors (specifically foreignors ) about the VERY high price of electricity in Nicaragua (0,40US$/KWh)!. We understand it is more transparent to provide a credit per day for electricity included in the renting and beyond it is the decision of the renter to pay attention of the aircon installed in the bedrooms.

I recommended this house 100% Beautiful home, clean, great location, service was also great and our host Beliamaria was easy to comunícate with and so helpful. We had a great experience. You should come enjoy this beautiful place!

Many thanks Alejandro for your visit and comment. You are the people which explain best the reasons for which we do this!

It's a lovely house. Very comfortable and was very clean. The person who was in charge was very nice and we had good communication. It is in a good location, a few blocks from the Causeway and every space is very nice. I hope to be back soon.

Es una hermosa casa. Muy cómoda y estaba muy limpia. La persona que estaba encargada fue muy amable y tuvimos buena comunicación. Está en una buena ubicación, a pocas cuadras de la Calzada y cada espacio es muy bonito. Espero regresar pronto.

Great location, very accurate description, very nice hosts. Home is very comfortable. Recommend it for anyone who wants a great stay in Granada.

The house itself was beautiful and the location was great. The only issue I had was once I was given a time to pick up the keys, they asked for us to come back later because they were still cleaning it, completely understand. Came back and the house still wasn’t cleaned. The 200$ deposit once the house is given was ok for me but didn’t give me a receipt which I found odd. I booked this home because they offered 3 bedrooms and it was 3 people staying there. When they gave us the house they only opened two rooms. When I sent the host a message she told me why would I need the 3rd room if only 3 people were staying in the house. One of the rooms had 3 twin beds so she assumed it would be enough for us just to be in 2 rooms. I booked this place because I wanted each of us to have our OWN privacy and she didn’t see it that way. When I asked if she can open the third room, she assumed there was going to be more people staying in the home, which was not the case. Overall, i would recommend anyone this home but just be a little more detailed in your stay with this host....

Let me say I disagree with the way Gabriela is presenting her stay, still I agree with the last comment she made: it is important to communicate to get what you need! In fact we never saw her: she sent her nephew/son to get the keys, the boy had no idea about the split of the rooms, and no request was made to get 3 different rooms. Communication with her has been very low, either by mail or in person. On top the booking was a last minute one, and at this period of the year (between Christmas and New Year), it is uneasy to organize. This is a house, there is no 24h/7 service.

Centrally located very close to the tourist areas and Colonial Granada.

Great place. Great people. Great time. Can't beat it with a stick.

This is a lovely house right in the centre of Granada and well furnished and equipped.  There are lovely hammocks in the garden and a small plunge pool which was very welcome. A deposit is required but was fully returned at the end of our stay and there is a charming cleaner who comes in every day.  

Beautiful house, very spacious and comfortable, an excellent location, hoping to return soon!!!

Bella casa, muy amplia y cómoda, una excelente ubicación, esperando volver pronto!!!

Hola Johan, muchas gracias por sus comentarios y observaciones, que vamos a tomar en cuenta! Ustedes son los bienvenidos. Que siguan bien.

Great Colonial feel to this beautiful old home. The location was perfect we could walk to everything. The neighborhood was friendly and extremely safe. We could have lived in the hammocks in the lovely garden. A nice find and we were so happy we booked it.

The house is beautiful and the location is great ;however there is a security deposit the owner tells you the day before you arrive (300.00 US) and a cap on the electricity (8.00 US a day).  It's a lot of money a night to have a cap on the power. If the listing notifies you of this instead of the night before it would be great. 

Dear Allyson,  The cap on electricity is indeed described on the website: "In the renting price is included an electricity amount of 15US$/day (for 8 people, half if 4 people). Over that amount, we will ask you to pay the difference. We do that because electricity is scarce in Nicaragua and extremely expensive, and this is the only way to get people aware and reasonable".  We ask a deposit as an easy way to settle any broken part in the house by the renter or excess of electricity. It is returned whenever the renter leaves the house.

The hosts were extremely helpful and responsive in helping me plan a few days in and around Granada with my two young children. They arranged a car and driver and suggested some places. The home is gorgeous -- big and open with a nice and well-maintained garden and plunge pool and close to the main square and restaurants. The house manager Sra. Bhelia kindly welcomed us and helped us get started; the housekeeper kept the place very clean. Only two things to point out that were not listed on Airbnb: When we arrived, the house manager required us to give her a $200 USD deposit, which she returned our last night. And she said the hosts requested a $10/day "electricity fee" which was not mentioned anywhere in the listing. Because of this, I declined to pay.  Overall, though, Casa Sultana was a great home for a few days and I would highly recommend it.

We had a wonderful time at la Gran Sultana. The villa was even greater than what we expected ; very well situated, quiet, comfortable and so so charming! We were welcomed by Ines who is living just the next villa in the street and everything have been absolutely perfect! Thank to Margarita for this amazing experience .
