The accommodation is very nice, with an incredible view. An AWD or 4x4 vehicle is highly recommended; there is a roughly 1-kilometer (0.6-mile) stretch that is quite a steep climb, with some sections with a lot of loose rocks. We went in a front-wheel-drive car, and it took a bit of a beating on each climb and descent. So, we only drove up to and down from the property once a day. Otherwise, it's a spectacular place.
Marius was a very good host, the view from the house is beautiful. Comfy space.
I loved the place, the view, and the super-friendly staff. The streets are new, so you do have to be careful to find the right one. And if you need a high-riding vehicle to drive up to the villa because the stone road is in very poor condition. But otherwise, everything was excellent. We hope to return soon.
The house was excellent, especially the expansive unobstructed ocean view. Steep stairway to the entrance, make sure to use the railing.
Marius was very kind to answer questions, the place matches the description in its entirety, we had the necessary amenities to feel at home. The place is in a quiet area with an incredible view of the beaches. My family and I really enjoyed the accommodation, we would definitely not hesitate to return!
My buddy and I absolutely loved the place we stayed at. It was really quiet, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Marius was incredibly kind and helpful. I’m certain that the next time I visit, I’ll choose to stay here again.
I come to Nicaragua frequently. This was my first stay at Marius’s home. The property and the views were amazing. Nicaragua has it’s own style and feel and this is where you can really experience it. The price is totally worth it. Also on my second night I had a diabetic issue and Marius’s caretaker called him and they arranged medical help for me. My stay was already beautiful. But now I have more friends down here. If you want to experience pura vida just come here.
A tropical storm battered the area during our stay, and as a result, we experienced a litany of issues. Rain leaked through the windows and doors resulting in standing water in the upstairs bedrooms for the majority of our stay. The house was not equipped with enough towels to clean up the mess and it took days for someone to come and give us access to extra linens. The water pump broke and we were without running water for a day. we ran out of propane halfway through cooking a meal and found an empty backup tank. Additionally, the access road is very steep and became deeply rutted in the rain, making driving stressful and impossible in a non 4x4. Other than the towel issue, Marius and the maintenance crew were generally helpful. I acknowledge that it's difficult to separate the challenges we faced from the unusual weather incident. However, much of this was preventable. My advice would be to check the forecast before travel as the property is not equipped to handle steady rain.
Host Response
I apologize again for all your inconveniences during your stay, I never hosted anyone during a Tropical Storm/Huricane weather. So these issues never came up all at once. All the issues regarding water leaks are addressed and I instructed the maintenance crew to always have a propane tank as backup addition to the two already in the house. Unfortunately the water being out for a day is out of my control because the whole neighborhood was out of water for that time, the storm messed up one of the pumps that pushes water to our houses. Most of the town had water in their homes up to their knees in some areas. I tried to be as responsive as I could considering the circumstances and will always try to do that with all my guest.
Excellent home with unbelievable views of Playa Maderas. WiFi and AC both worked great. Would love to stay here again.
Thank you Mario! We have always given a quick response and always available. The facilities are clean and very safe.
Great host, communicative and very interested in their guests sitting at home. Thank you Marius!
Absolutely stunning views with a pool that feels almost private since no one else uses it. Great place to watch sunsets with Marsella and Maderas beaches a quick drive away. Access is quite tough so do ensure you have a 4*4. Host was really responsive which I appreciated.
