In the Balgue hut: WiFi in the hut, mosquito nets, no noise, garden/villa clean and well maintained. Warm shower. 24/7 security. Restaurant: solid food, pleasant atmosphere, subdued piano music. Playground with trampoline and bicycles. It is also well suited for children because of the horses and goats. Despite the animals, I have not seen any flies and mosquitoes. I can recommend the Funca in good conscience.

In der Hütte Balgue: WLAN in der Hütte, Moskitonetze, kein Lärm, Garten/Finca sauber und gepflegt. Warme Dusche. Bewachung 24/7. Restaurant: Solides Essen, angenehme Atmosphäre, gedämpfte Klaviermusik. Spielplatz mit Trampolin und Fahrräder. Für Kinder ist es hier wegen der Pferde und Ziegen auch gut geeignet. Trotz der Tiere habe ich keine Fliegen und Mücken gesehen. ich kann die Funca guten Gewissens empfehlen.

We had a great stay at Finca Montania Sagrada! The view was so breathtaking that we decided to stay in a two separate beds room and not change to the one kind size bed cottage even if in our honeymoon :) The little cottage came with some wild life included (You’re in nature so expect spiders, mosquitoes, ants and lizards, but nothing we couldn’t handle PLUS one thing I loved about the place is that it has mosquitoes nets that are fresh, very clean, I really loved that! Could use them and enjoy the nicer scent - thank you 🙏🏻) and a cat 🐈 that made our stay even more pleasant ( can ask for food for the kitty from the kitchen that prepares the morning breakfast). The morning breakfast is simple but everything is delicious and fresh. The lady serving it is very attentive and makes fresh bread there. We had a great time feeding the horses, admiring the birds, and just chilling on the hammock. There are 2 restaurants, one v close El Imperio- delicious Happy with our choice.

I loved the estate! Hari and Marilena were very friendly, and helped me find a perfect guide to climb Maderas Volcano and take a kayak tour on the river as well. The horse tour with Hari was wonderful! Also, I loved her 4 dogs :) I hope to visit them again soon.

Me encantó la finca! Hari y Marilena estaban muy amables, y me ayudaron a encontrar un guía perfecto para subir Volcán Maderas y hacer un tour con kayak en el río también. El tour de caballo con Hari fue maravilloso! Además, amaba sus 4 perritos :) Ojalá vaya a visitarlos pronto de nuevo..

This has to be one of my favourite airbnb's. Stunning peaceful location, amazing views, warmest hosts and the sweetest dogs. We were a little anxious being city dwellers it would be a too remote, but it really isn't. Don't hesitate to book!

Thank you Shaun and David for your appreciation.

We really enjoyed our stay at Montania Sagrada. Such a little piece of paradise. The bungalows are clean and comfortable with lovely hammocks on the porch. Gorgeous and well taken care of gardens make the place a pleasure to stay. Mirka, Hari, Marilena and the staff are kind and helpful. If Ometepe is included in any of our further trips, no doubt we'll go back to Montania Sagrada!! Thank you guys

Thank you so much for everything you have said about us and  we really loved having you here

Hari's horses were fantastic. They were well taken care of and he was able to accommodate a novice and advanced rider. The place was very peaceful and quiet with fast wifi. Our food was great and we loved all the dogs. It was close enough to Merida that we could walk to town for dinner. It was a great highlight of our trip.

We had a wonderful time at the Finca Montania Sagrada. It's a beautiful place with clean and comfortable bungalows, located a bit outside of the village Merida but still close to the beach. The staff has been very friendly and the food was delicious. Highly recommended.

Nice quiet stay in great tropical garden in very remote location.  Great pasta and sauces (pesto is awesome).  Horse ride in mountain with Hary is worth it.  

Little piece of paradise for nature lovers!!! Imagine waking up by the sounds of birds, parrots, horses and dogs, chilling on a hammock right at your door, watching 2 volcanoes, mesmerizing your eyes with the beautiful green landscape, flowers and butterflies, enjoying the wind cuddling with your face ..playing with your hair and reminding you to enjoy each moment, be in the now, breathe & take it easy (-: Ohh..orgasmic ¡

The location and views from this spot are amazing. The room and guest areas were very clean to Nicaraguan standards. My girlfriend and I really enjoyed our 2 hour horseback excursion on the island and we were pleased to see horses that appeared well taken care of. While the host were very good at arranging transportation to and from the ferry to their finca, the remoteness of this location makes some form of private transportation, (either a 4x4 or motorcycle) almost necessary. As with any stay in Ometepe I would recommend at least a couple of days to make the journey worthwhile. Prior to our visit we read conflicting reviews regarding the included breakfast and now we understand why. Our first breakfast was very good and filling and unfortunately set high expectations for the following morning. While the quality was the same, the portions the next morning were lacking. While the previous morning had included fruit, yogurt bread and eggs, the second day the eggs had been replaced with a few small slices of a plantain. In summary I guess plan accordingly. It's a beautiful, but remote location and I would have some form of transportation, some snacks, extra water and plenty of time.

We had a wonderful stay at the finca. The view from the porch was amazing and its the perfect place to relax but also do some really cool outdoor activities. We went on a 7 hour hike on the volcano madera, visited the waterfall and went on an really awesome horseback tour with hari and carlos. Even my boyfriend, who wasnt an experienced horse rider was able to galop and had a lot of fun (and some sore muscles afterwards ;-) ) The cabana was cozy and clean and we even had warm water! The people working on the finca were really friendly. We tried driving our suzuki swift up the hill which we had to give up at some point, so i would really recommend a 4x4 and truck. I liked having the dogs around, but it took my boyfriend some time getting used to, since he is quite afraid of dogs. The only downside about the place was the off season breakfast, which most of the time was just not enough and we were still hungry afterwards.

I spent 3 nights in this beautiful finca with my boyfriend, and it was absolutely the highlight of our trip in Nicaragua. The rooms are beautiful and very clean, the breakfast is incredible, plenty to eat and drink 

During our trip through Nicaragua we stayed for 4 days, 5 nights in the Finca Montania Sagrada. The Finca is beautifully located on the lush hillsides of the volcano Maderas. Our cabaña was very well maintained and clean, we certainly loved the private terrace. We also had diner at the Finca 2 times, the Italian dishes are delicious. One disadvantage is the remote location: you're a bit far away from the more active part of Ometepe.

Although we somehow made it up the mountain (and down again) in a Kia Picanto (!!!) and it miraculously survived, I wouldn't want to try it again, and definitely recommend to take a taxi from the ferry, or if you rent a car, opt for a 4x4. Once you are up at the finca, it's paradise. You can laze around in the hammock with a view of the volcano, and enjoy the lush gardens, the peace and quiet, and the butterflies. The highlight of our stay was the horse riding tour with Hari. His horses are beautiful, well-kept and happy, we did a lot of cantering, even my husband who had never really ridden a horse before.  Hari is funny and very knowledgeable about Nicaragua, we learned a lot from him. The dogs were all adorable. A very memorable stay, and a great first impression of Ometepe. Thank you, and all the best!!!

Lovely place off the beaten path in Ometepe. The owners are very friendly - we had missed a bus on the way to Merida. They offered us a lift as we were walking and funnily enough - they were the owners of this beautiful Finca! Hari is great and set us up with a horseriding lesson which was a highlight of our trip. This place and Ometepe is truly surrounded by nature which also means insects & bugs galore unless you stay in town - so bear this in mind when booking. 

We arrived late for the ferry as a result a second ride had to be arranged.No problem.We were wowed right from the start.The beautiful landscape of Ometempe with twin volacnoes,the animals.My God,the horses and oxen,dogs,fantastic.This vacation is not for the timid 5 star prima donnas.But if you want nature and hiking and local culture,friendly people,horses,and flor de cana with every meal,this is for you.Thanx to Hari,Anne Marie loved the rides with Carlos.We went volcano treking with Daniel up Maderas.The staff was great scheduling our transportation.We missed our ride coming home,but the ferry was delayed for 10 hours.The driver who was waiting for us probably got tired of hanging around the terminal.lol.The trip from the ferry to Managua in a private taxi was only 60 dollars for a 2 hour trip.The cabin was quite basic but the water is hot and it is cleaned daily.The breeze from the mountain is refreshing.The natural surroundings and friendly people make Finca Montania Sagrada 5 star lodgings.Guiseppi  and Hari are very professional.We loved it here and cannot wait to return.  Floyd and Anne Marie.

We stayed at Montania Sagrada for 4 nights as part of our honeymoon. We could not have been more pleased with the whole experience. We stayed in cabana beate which was perfectly comfortable and cozy. We loved sitting on the front porch in the hammock and reading the afternoons away. We arranged to go for a guided hike of Merida volcano which took about 7 hours in total. It was strenuous but so enjoyable. The last hour or so of the hike to the top was through rainforest, which was so interesting to experience as we were climbing up and through roots of trees. Hari took us out one day for a full day of horseback riding to San Ramon waterfall, to a nice lunch then back to the Finca. This was definitely the highlight of the trip to isle of ometepe. Hari was helpful in getting me comfortable with the horse as I am not an experienced rider, and allowed my husband to take his horse out to its full capabilities as he is experienced. We trotted and cantered and Brennan even had his horse galloping. It was an absolutely incredible experience to be out on the open road with the horses cantering. Hari was a terrific guide. He's knowledgeable and obviously very caring about his horses. We had delicious breakfasts and dinners cooked at the Finca, and enjoyed our conversations with Giovanni, Merilena and Hari. I would highly recommend visiting Finca Montania Sagrada on your visit to Ometepe. We can't wait to return!

An absolutely beautiful spot with stunning views of the volcanoes, a bird and animal paradise! I loved my little cabana too where I could swing in my hammock and watch the parrots fly down from the volcano. I was well looked after while I was there although there was a little shadow cast by what felt at times like a tense atmosphere among the owners.  An otherwise wonderful time riding, kayaking and exploring the gorgeous island, returning to my little spot of paradise.

The description and photos of Finca Montania Sagrada do not do it justice. I was looking to escape the busy city for a peaceful weekend and this property gave me that and so much more! My cabana was spacious, spotless and very comfortable. The gardens and volcano views were beautiful and having the option to relax in the hammock or rocking chair on my own porch were great. In addition, I ate breakfasts and dinners for two days and the juices, fruits, vegetables and breads were delicious. Prior to my arrival Marilena was prompt to answer all my questions and sent a detailed attachment with all pertinent information about Ometepe and the finca. Her guide recommendation for my full day trek up Maderas was great. As was my 3 hour horseback riding trip. If you are eager for some physical activity, I highly recommend both activities. Thank you Marilena, Mirca, the entire staff and all the adorable animals for a truly magical weekend. I hope to return very soon.

Thank you Kristen we loved having you here

I would recommend Finca Montania Sagrada to anyone in a heartbeat! Marilena was great communicating with us before we arrived, coordinating a taxi for us, and having everything ready at the hotel. The attention to detail at the Finca really impressed me. Not only are the rooms spacious, bright, airy, and comfortable, but there was soap in the bathroom, towels provided, a coffee maker, and someone even made our beds and cleaned our bathroom while we were out for the day--details I was not expecting!   The property itself is GORGEOUS, every where you look. A true paradise! The food is great too, both breakfast and dinner, and breakfast was reasonably priced.   We had a great stay!

Amazing place tucked away. Hari was very knowledgeable and helpful. The room was great and clean and the whole place is extremely private. Hari also does horseback tours, which we did not do, but seems fun and is convenient. He will also help arrange transportation if you need it. FYI taxis are pricey on the island. We had dinners for breakfast there as well, the food was delicious and inexpensive. Even though there was no a/c sleeping was wonderful, windows open and great breezes all night. They have many friendly dogs and several cats as well as birds. Very welcoming and inviting place to spend time. Good wifi and hot water.

Marilena was very quick to respond to messages and helpful in organizing transportation. The cabin itself is nice with views of both volcanoes and a relaxing hammock on the porch. Breakfast is good. Hari was friendly. Loved all the dogs! The dinner is fine, but pricy compared to Margarita's down in the village. Water pressure was poor for part of the time I was there, which made it difficult to shower, but it worked after my volcano hike. I'm glad I went on the Maderas hike for the strenuous exercise though it was very rainy and muddy. Other than the volcano and the horses, there isn't that much to do, but if you want to lie on the hammock, ride the horses and climb Maderas, this would be a good choice.

Marilena was great and her place was awesome. She coordinated taxis for us from the time we landed in Managua to the time we left and even did so after we were no longer staying with her, which was super helpful. Her instructions were very clear and while her place is certainly remote we had no issues in getting there as she made it very easy for us. The cabana had great views and Marilena was wonderful in coordinating activities for us - we highly recommend horseback riding with Hari. Overall, we had a wonderful time and would highly recommend Marilena as a host to anyone looking to stay at Ometepe. 

What a magical experience!  My friend and I initially planned to stay for 2 nights, but ended lengthening our stay because we loved the Finca and Ometepe so much.  The cabana was comfortable and clean.  It is set in the midst of gorgeous views of the volcanoes, colorful foliage,  horses, parrots and curious Urraca birds who guided us on our adventures...and of course who doesn't like to wake up to the sounds of howler monkeys?  It's close to tasty restaurants, swimming spots and fabulous hiking trails within walking distance.  The hosts are very helpful and full of suggestions on what to experience on the island.  The staff are sweet, full of smiles and their food is great!  I can't wait to go back!

We loved the cabana beate - it was clean, cute and a wonderful little spot in the beautiful garden. Our hosts were lovely and helpful in recommending how to best get around the island. Our horseback ride with Hari was great too. We loved our stay at Finca Montania Sagrada!

Great hosts and the cabin is as described. The location is a bit remote, but worth the effort. Take a torch and sturdy shoes if you want to go down to the nearby hotels for dinner and plan to walk back after dark. 

Wonderful experience in the most scenic of settings. Loved the horse riding, the hammocks and most of all the animals! The breakfast is fabulous too

We were a group of three that stayed at Finca Montania Sagrada, one in the Cabana Bates and two in the Mamacita. The property is absolutly beautiful and the hosts were very welcoming and served a great breakfast. There were views of the two volcanos and the lake, and beautiful greenery all around. The Driveway may seem a little hard to get up, but all the taxis were able to make it up just fine. We really enjoyed our stay!

Our stay at the Cabana Beate on the Finca Montania Sagrada was, in a word, incredible. There are other words. They're words like perfect, stunning, rejuvenating, stellar, welcoming, wonderful, and amazing.   This Cabana seems to be the newest building on the Finca property (thus the fewer number of reviews), but don't let that fool you, it's by far the best. It is a separate building, deeper in the property than the other two, with a private bathroom, hammock on the front porch, and two twin beds (which we had no trouble pushing together comfortably). You awake every morning to Oiger and Isabella (the parrots) greeting each other "Hola!" and can see the gorgeous horses playing through the front window. The small building was the perfect size for the two of us, and gave us personal space while enjoying the other guests staying at the Finca, as well as our wonderful hosts.  Mirca, Valentino, Hari, and Marilena did everything to make us feel welcome, and we left feeling like family. Our stay on the Finca was easily the highlight of our trip, and has become one of our primary reasons for planning to return to Nicaragua in the future. Don't miss this place.  The Finca (farm) itself is about a Km away from the main road, so unlike other places to stay on Ometepe you are removed from the (even small) amount of daily traffic on the main road and get to stay in a colorful, welcoming garden of earthly delights with views of the volcanoes. At night, there's no light pollution and you can see every star in the galaxy.  We took advantage of Hari's Horses and went for a ride, they booked us an amazing kayaking tour, and we enjoyed massages at the end of it all. Just wonderful.  Finally, the food is great! Breakfast is included every morning, a spread of fruits and fresh bread, yogurt, local butter, the works. Dinners are by request and are added to your bill, but the pasta dishes were divine and well worth it.   Go here. Don't miss it.

Our stay was absolutely magnificent.   We were told most people only stay one night and that just isn't enough.  If you're looking for a balance of relaxation and activity you need a minimum 2 days.  ALL of the hosts are beyond kind and helpful with a view of both volcanos that cannot be beat.  Highly recommended!!  

We only stayed one night at Finca Montania Sagrada but it was amazing.  After a bit of a drive to get up to the farm you're rewarded with amazing views and peaceful surroundings.  An amazing quiet property with great hosts and nice clean cabana.  

Our time at the Finca Montania was wonderful. This was perhaps the most relaxing time in our journey though Nicaragua. So many beautiful plants and trees, and don't forget the views of BOTH volcanoes. Our hosts were great. Hari and Marilena were very helpful. Any questions we had about Ometepe, bus schedules, places to eat... anything really, they knew. Again, the atmosphere was very relaxing. Lots of little animals to entertain us. We particularly loved the kittens and parrots. I loved the Cabana Beate. It was our own little house. We sat on the porch and watched the sunset and just hung out in the hammocks.  I highly recommend the Horseback Riding tour to the San Ramon Waterfalls. I had zero riding experience, and honestly was quite nervous. But Carlos, our guide, is an expert and made us feel safe. We had a great time. Also, I would recommend having dinner at the Finca at least once. We had pasta/spaghetti with mutton, salad, etc. Simple and delicious!

Finca montania is so beautiful. Hari has done an amazing job with the property. They are very helpful and friendly. The crazy road out to Merida is well worth the stay. Horses, dogs, birds, cats. They have it all. We had a great time. 

Very, very nice place! The volcanoe view is spectacular!  The owners are very nice, open minded people! There are so many animals!  Unfortunately i didn't bring enough time to go for a horse ride!  But i wanna come back and do it next time!  I highly recommend this place!  Thank you!

It was a beautiful place to stay with lovely hosts.  The cabin was clean and neat, and the view from the porch was spectacular.  We hiked the volcano. walked down to the beach, and generally had a relaxed, wonderful time. Hari, Marilena and Mirka were incredibly friendly and helpful, and I highly recommend a visit to the Finca!

A little slice of paradise. Stayed here in March and we were so happy we found this place. The cabin is clean and spacious. Property is gorgeous. Hari, Mica and Marilena are welcoming hosts. Even making us a delicious Italian pesto pasta dish when we arrived after 9pm.  Unfortunately we had to cut our stay short as my girlfriend fell off her mountain bike and broke her scapula. Thankfully Hari came to our rescue on the other side of the island. I don't recommend biking around the island close to dusk on rented bicycles with barely functioning brakes.

We had a fabulous stay at Finca Montania Sagrada. We intended to stay for 2 days and only left after 5. We stayed in 2 of the 'cabins' and both were wonderful. The ranch is situated on a part of the island that is far less populated with tourists so you have the chance to be closer in touch with the locals. That being said, there is plenty to do. We didn't go horseback riding but we spent time with Hari and his horses and those that did ride had great things to say. Marilena, Mirca and Hari were a wealth of information and we felt like family. They serve an amazing breakfast, delicious and far more than most could probably eat. We were able to use the kitchen and refrigerator which was great as well. I could recount the whole experience but you should make this trip for yourself.  I also want to comment on the fact that even though Merida is a remote area, the Finca is especially clean and well taken care of. While we should have encountered plenty of critters (bugs, etc.) we didn't at all. We felt safe and comfortable and even slept with the doors open. I can't say enough.
