You’ll know that you have rented a historic coloni...
The Space
Experience the charm of a genuine colonial home featuring a pool and a rooftop terrace with breathtaking 360° views. Enter through massive antique front doors set within three-foot-thick adobe walls, a true sign of this historic residence. Relax on the shallow submerged bench seats in the pool or unwind in hammocks suspended between 12-foot wooden columns. Enjoy stunning sunsets over Granada’s tiled rooftops and take in views of the Mombacho volcano.
The kitchen is spacious, open, and fully equipped with coffee and essential cooking basics such as spices and cooking oil. For $12*, your chef/housekeepers Elisa or Hazell can shop at the market and prepare breakfast, lunch, or dinner for you. Whether you want a smoothie, a plate of rosquillas (a traditional local snack), or chilled coconut water fresh from the tree, Elisa and Hazell are ready to make it happen.
Granada’s tile floors are beautiful but hard, so a soft-floored exercise and playroom has been added for comfort. Alternatively, you can visit PURE for workouts, yoga, or exercise classes. Your stay includes unlimited access to PURE, along with a 10% discount on all massages and spa services. Visit purenica.com to learn more about PURE.
If you have children, the exercise/playroom can be stocked with toys. Additional child-friendly items available upon request include a crib, baby-changing station, baby gate, water wings/floaties, a child’s bike helmet, art supplies, board games, and a white noise sound machine. The pool area is fenced for safety and features an open-air shower.
Our bilingual co-host, Gretchell, is available to assist you with any needs. Whether you require a taxi pickup, a tour, or items from the pharmacy or convenience store, deliveries can be arranged quickly and affordably via moto-delivery service.
The spacious master bedroom is located on the second floor and offers spectacular views of the cathedral. Enjoy refreshing lake breezes from the private balcony, with air conditioning available for warmer days. Bathrooms are stocked with thick, soft towels and provide hot water from a traditional water heater (no electric shower heads).
Parking is conveniently available about 2.5 blocks away for approximately $2 per night. For added convenience, a vehicle (the owner’s Nissan Patrol 4x4) and private driver can be arranged at a reasonable rate.
*The $12 fee covers the trip to the market and meal preparation but does not include the cost of ingredients.
Guest Access
You will have exclusive use of the entire house during your stay. Additionally, you gain access to PURE. If you prefer a larger pool, day passes to Selina Granada, located just four blocks away on Central Park, can be provided.

We enjoyed staying at Warren's place while we were back in Grenada. The house was located a few blocks from the center of town, so it was easy to get around. The house has a great third-floor porch overlooking the town and a nice pool for cooling off.

This place was amazing. Beautiful home, amazing pool and kitchen area and the rooftop terrace was like no other view in all of Granada. The cleaner, Elisa, was the sweetest soul and so helpful during all of our stay. Very kid friendly place as well. We would return to this place!

We had a lovely time - the home is HUGE! The pictures don't do it justice. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. They arranged shuttles, tours, and answered any questions we had very quickly. Probably the coolest house we have ever stayed in in our travels!

The house is great with lots of spaces to enjoy. Sunsets from the teraza are beautiful, hammocks by the pool and the pool was very clean and enjoyable. The location is very convenient for walking to the center, lake and restaurants. We would stay here again! Thank you

I highly recommend staying at Casa Tortuga! It is very close to all the great restaurants and nightlife! Safe, well lit street with plenty of friendly neighbors. The house itself felt like home, very cozy and with touches that make you feel like you are staying with family and not at a stuffy hotel. Casa Tortuga has character and we loved staying here. The kitchen was well appointed with everything we needed to prepare our meals, and the local outdoor market had fresh veggies only a few blocks away. It was quick to get a taxi out front within a few minutes, so getting around town was easy. It’s only a few blocks to Central Park and a few blocks to Calle La Calzada. This house is great for families or friends traveling together. There is AC in all bedrooms and hot water in the showers. The pool isn’t huge, but it’s perfect for afternoon dips and night swims. If I could give Warren and the team that looks after the house 6 stars, I would. Thank you so much for a great stay!
