Everything was wonderful!  The room was great. Breakfast was awesome and Hari was very helpful with everything along the way. I would absolutely recommend to anyone coming to the island!

Hari was a very helpful host and arranged our transportation to and from his place. The guided tour on horseback is very worthwhile and has stunning views. You can tell he cares for his horses. The property was beautiful. One recommendation I would have is for the mosquito net to have less holes for bugs to get in, or make the gap beneath entrance door and floor so that less bugs are able to get in. Obviously, no matter what you do there will be bugs that get in the room because it is deep in nature. Also, if you can it might be useful to rent a motorbike or car to get around the island! Hari’s place is more private so if you’re wanting to visit some of the islands attractions, a means of transport would be useful. Really great complementary breakfast. The fruit juice and fruit was the highlight. Wonderful place. Would recommend

Was an absolute escape from the busy world. Rain or shine you’re sure to enjoy your stay.

Hari was a great host. He helped us get a taxi to his place, walked us to the restaurant for dinner so we knew where it was and made sure we made it back to the port safely. Was a very comfy bed and clean room. Great spot to stay at to check out local life in Ometepe.

We loved our time at Finca Montania. The hosts are intertwined with the local community and gave amazing recommendations and connections on the island. The room was cleaned every day with a very tasty breakfast. Super private and felt very  safe. We would recommend this place to anyone. We also did the volcano hike straight from our place with a great guide who the hosts set us up with. Also a convenient walk to a couple restaurants, places to swim and great sunset spots. We have no complaints about our perfect stay.

Thank you April and Jim for the appreciation. We are sorry you left. It was very nice to have you here

This is a very special place: it's at the trailhead to climb the Maderas volcano,  it's nice and quiet, and Hari's dinners were delicious!! I can't recommend this place enough...

A well-maintained place in a picturesque environment

Un endroit bien tenu dans un environnement pittoresque

Amazing, quiet place. Free breakfast every morning, thoughtful owners who care about the land. Overall great experience, would recommend to anyone travelling to Ometepe that wants a quiet time.

I have been inspired to ride horses more from this trip. Thanks kindly.

Hari was such a great host!! The property is wonderful and my boyfriend and I had the best time staying here. Definitely the highlight of our trip! The dogs and horses were wonderful and waking up to fresh breakfast with a view of the volcano every morning was just amazing.

Finca Montania Sagrada is an amazing gem on an already wonderful island! Hari and team were wonderful hosts, and made us feel welcome from the very start. Not only was it nice to have a hot shower but they were considerate of our dietary restrictions. He gave us recommendations on places to eat, drink and other amazing excursions. His guided horseback ride to the San Ramon falls was amazing. Important to note his property didn't smell like a horse farm! In fact the property is a garden, best we saw in our time in Nicaragua. We cant recommend this enough, make this a part of your Nicaraguan adventure!

The hosts welcomed us with open arms, always with a smile. Despite the precautions taken by the equipment available in the room, we crossed some big insects during our stay. But, living in this environment increases the chances of crossing these. We enjoyed the restaurant a few times, and it was delicious and comforting. Several restaurants nearby are succulent too. Although the Finca is a bit far from some recommended activities on Ometepe, the city of Merida offers a totally different experience than if we had decided to stay closer to the attractions. We were able to connect with local life and that's what we preferred. I recommend this place at 100%.

I came to Montania Sagrada feeling frazzled and I left feeling completely revived and invigorated. The gardens and surrounds are stunning. The room was incredibly comfortable and had everything I could possibly need and more. I particularly appreciated  the electric kettle and variety of tea bags. Perfect for having a cuppa while sitting in the rocking chair on the small private verandah.  The included breakfast was delicious (props to the homemade bread) and the one dinner I had here (gorgonzola pasta) was equally scrumptious. Although I'm not a horse rider, I went out riding with Hari one morning and it was a great way to enjoy the local scenery.  The road (about 400 metres) from the Finca to the main road is quite rocky and could be a problem if you're not able bodied, but I didn't have an issue. Because of the recent political issues in Nicaragua, there weren't many tourists in Merida, and all of the restaurants I visited in town were empty, but I still had some great food.  (Try the burrito at Eric's place!)  But as far as I'm concerned, if you're coming to Ometepe,  come to Merida and stay at Montania Sagrada. It's well worth the extra distance.

Super nice. Friendly staff that went above and beyond. Beautiful grounds and room. Recommend.

Thank you Annette, we hope you come back soon

Lovely place with amazing garden and the island's best horses! Cute people who have the place!

Dejligt sted med fantastisk have og øens bedste heste! Søde mennesker der har stedet!

Beautiful farm, amazing surroundings and animals. Nice and peaceful. Village very authentic and welcoming.

This may of been our favorite air bnb of the trip! Such a beautiful and calm property! We loved being away from the craziness of cities, they truly have a special place here. My boyfriend and I got the opportunity to do a lot of activities thanks to their suggestions! We also had breakfast there everyday and dinner once it was amazing!!! We would definitely recommend spending at least 3 days here as there are many activities to do on the island and it is a lot bigger than expected. Hiking the volcano Maderis with a guide they provided us with was our favourite part! Thank you very much to all the staff!

Loved Finca Montana Sagrada! This is the real Omepete experience... The Finca is beautiful with very private room and great food options. Breakfast is included and you can also select for a dinner menu around $14 per place (Includes salad/ apps / a main). Recommend taking a ride with Hari's Horses to the water falls as well as hiking volcano Maderas (which both trails entrance start at the door of la Finca) DO NOT BUY TICKETS AT THE FERRY PORT. Thank you! Stephany and Aymeric

We loved Finca Montania Sagrada, our stay on ometepe was the highlight of our trip to Nicaragua. The location is a little more remote than some others on the island, but all the better for it! There was plenty to do nearby (bike hire, kayaking, volcano hiking, horseback riding) and the rest of the island was easily accessible by bus/taxi. We would highly recommend staying here - the room was clean and comfortable and the breakfasts were delicious. 

Finca Montana Sagrada is a beautiful property with well appointed rooms and great food. Recommend taking a ride with Hari's Horses, which is based on the grounds. Breakfast is complimentary, and you can choose to each dinner at the Finca. There are a few restaurants within walking distance as well.

This was the highlight of our trip! Everyone was so nice and Finca Montania Sagrada is just beautiful.  Staying here is a must if you want to be in Ometepe.  We went horseback riding (on-site), kayaking (15 min walk), had great food (both on-site and 10min walk) and relaxed!! 5+ Stars

We really enjoyed our stay at Finca Montania Sagrada.  Before we arrived and after we left, Marilena was incredibly responsive on both email and phone. She helped us with some of the practical details of transportation to the location.  We stayed over NYE and the hosts made for us and other guests a great Italian dinner. We enjoyed the good food, drinks, company and conversation.  The surroundings are beautiful and there's an incredibly relaxing atmosphere. There are several activities nearby and found it easy to walk to the coast, have a drink and some food and watch the sunset.  The ferry takes over an hour and then you need about 1.5h to get from the ferry landing to the Finca with a taxi. We also found some bugs and a salamander in our room, but that's not unexpected being surrounded by so much nature.  Overall, we'd highly recommend staying here if you find yourself going to Ometepe!

We had a great experience at the Finca, even though the weather was not in our favour. We did a very nice kayaking Tour in which we saw kaymans and turtles and lots of birds. Surroundings are peaceful and quiet. Unfortunately we didn't do the horseback riding with Hari, still regret that!

Me and Girlfriend loved the place, the food is fantastic and the room was beautiful. Organising horse riding & hiking volcano was also a highlight. Thank you for a great stay. 

Finca Montania Sagrada is located in a wonderful environment at the foot of the Maderas volcano. The room is nice and has its own terrace surrounded by palm trees and other relaxing plants forming the gardens of Finca Montania. Although Merida (the community) is very small, there are a couple of nice restaurants within walking distance. Hari at Finca Montania organizes horseriding tours, which we've enjoyed a lot. And if you'd like to hike (climb actually) up the Maderas Volcano, this is your spot since an awesome trail going through a cloud forest leaves right from Finca Montania. Ask for Danny as your guide!

Finca Montania Sagrada was an amazing place to stay during our trip to Ometepe. My boyfriend and I stayed for 2 nights but would have stayed longer had we had the time during our short stay in Nicaragua. The friendliness and warm hospitality of the staff made the experience unforgettable. The property is beautiful, creating the perfect atmosphere for a relaxing getaway from the busy city life. My boyfriend had a blast exploring around looking for all sorts of wildlife. We were able to hike Volcano Maderas with the help of a guide that the Finca set up for us. The hike is a long 8 hours in and out with some challenging portions but well worth the experience. Make sure to bring good hiking boots and lots of water! Hari also took us horseback riding to see the petroglyphs in Merida. Having no riding experience, I felt very comfortable with Hari's instruction and guidance on how to properly situate myself and control the horse. The room was great, just as described in the pictures. Comfortable bed, private bathroom and even a tea kettle with tea in the room! Getting to and from the Finca was very easy. Instructions were provided ahead of time, and since it is a small town, most shuttle buses on the island know about the property.  We loved staying at Finca Montania Sagrada and would be so happy to return the next time we visit Nicaragua!

Thank you so much and we really hope you come back soon

A superb environment, caring hosts, a nice break away from this world, difficult to leave!

Un environnement superbe, des hôtes attentionnés, une jolie pause loin de ce monde, difficile d'en repartir !

We had a great time at the Finca - it was a very active vacation which included horseback riding and hiking. Hari and Giovanni were very attentive and pleasant company. We arrived after 6pm which looked more like midnight so plan for that if you are getting in later. It was a great couple of days. 

Finca Montaña Sagrada was excellent. We enjoyed our room and the breakfasts and we loved all of the animals on the property. We took one of the horse rides offered and their recommended guide took us up Volcan Maderas. Both trips were fantastic!

Staying at Finca Montania Sagrada was quite possibly the highlight of my travels in Nicaragua! PROS: 12 horses, 10 dogs, 2 parrots, 1 cat on site; gorgeous scenery; waking up to the sound of exotic birds each morning; great breakfasts; lounging in the hammock outside our casita; horseback riding; and simply chatting with the ever-entertaining Hari and Giovanni. (The other hosts were very friendly too, but we didn't spend as much time with them.)   My boyfriend and I stayed for 3 full days/4 nights, and kept busy each day with activities organized through the Finca. I highly recommend a horseback ride through the Finca. Hari's passion for horses is endearing and exemplified through his general enthusiasm when speaking about horses. His horses are well cared for, and carefully matched with the rider based on their skill. Hari didn't lead us on the ride, but his trusted trainer/farrier was a great instructor who provided a good balance of patience and encouragement. I loved that as a novice rider, I was comfortable enough to gallop with my horse by the end of the ride.   Also recommended is a hike up Maderas, if you're up for the challenge. Good views, amazing flora, cool bugs, and lots of monkey sightings. This hike was easily arranged through the Finca, which is conveniently located near one of the trails. Our guide was friendly, and the price ($30 for two people) was reasonable compared to other hikes we did near Granada. I do find the Central American system of having to hire a guide for hiking to be frustrating in general, but that is of course no fault of the guide. I was happy to learn that the full amount we paid went to the guide, who had previously worked in a sweatshop in Managua for $6/day. :(   I will say that due to the remote location, if you don't have transportation (we didn't) and aren't planning on doing activities organized through the Finca, this might not be an ideal place to stay. The last bus in the area leaves at 8:30 AM, and taxis are expensive and would have to be arranged each day. We were lucky to catch a ride to a nearby town with other guests one day, where we rented scooters and explored the island for the day. The one small issue I had staying here was that you could easily hear the other guests walking around in the floor above. If you are sensitive to noise, I'd recommend staying in the upper level of this building, or in one of the private cabanas instead.  I loved staying here and truly hope to visit again one day!

We loved our stay at the Finca with Giovanni. It was the highlight of our trip to Nicaragua. The mamacita room was lovely! We enjoyed the hammocks and rocking chairs at night under the stars. The dogs are beyond adorable and super friendly!!Giovanni was very helpful in arranging our Maderas hike guide and providing much needed sandwiches for our trek. Also, the restaurant recommendations were spot on! Hari's horses was conveniently located on the Finca and provided a lovely tour of the area with the most beautiful horses. Would highly recommend staying here. Our only regret is staying 2 nights, we would love to stay for a week!

Finca Montania Sagrada is a very special place. The views are great, the outdoor dining room has parrots and dogs and lots of cheer. (Be careful coming in at night, the big dogs jump and scratch so make yourself l known). Breakfast was killer. Order pasta and lasagna one night from Finca. It's delicious! We stayed in the first floor room of the blue house which hs a very comfy king bed and hot water. Tiny amts were taking over the bathroom, but harmless and it is a farm so, asi es la vida. The folks running the place have been in merida for 7 years and Hari had great suggestions for where to see hidden petroglyphs, which restaurants to just get a beer at and which to eat at, how to avoid turisty places and very accurate directions and activity suggestions (which is a rarity and much appreciated). Merida is a great town with less tourists and lots of monkeys but still lots of options so Finca is perfectltly located. Hari likes to run his horses and doesn't give much instruction so if you have experience and like to cantar he's your guy. Horses are well taken care of.

Our stay at Finca Montania's place was one of the most relaxing experiences during our vacation. The hospitality, the beautiful garden and rancho made it memorable. Especially the house on the first floor has a fantastic view of both volcanoes. From WiFi to flower and from horse to breakfast an wonderful place!

Ons verblijf bij Finca Montania was een van de meest ontspannen ervaringen tijdens onze vakantie. De gastvrijheid, de prachtige tuin en rancho maakte het onvergetelijk. Vooral het huis op de eerste verdieping heeft een fantastisch uitzicht op beide vulkanen. Van WiFi tot bloem en van paard tot ontbijt een geweldige plek!

We stayed one night at the Finca Montania Sagrada and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The location is beautiful and tranquil and the owners are very attentive. They arranged a kayaking excursion for us upon request and also provided other suggestions for things to do in the area. My only word of caution would be to come with a vehicle equipped for rugged terrain (4x4, ATV, or dirt bike) because the road to Mérida is unpaved and the road to get to the Finca is in poor condition. We had a scooter and while it was possible, I wouldn't recommend it. ¡Muchas gracias por su hospitalidad!

Beautiful place to stay while visiting Ometepe! Relaxing, serene, and welcoming with a lovely breakfast in the morning. The host, Marilena, was very helpful and prompt in answering all our questions before our arrival. We would certainly stay here again on on our next trip to Ometepe!

Amazing property.  Breakfast was delicious.  Hosts are super helpful in getting you to and from the property, setting you up with a scooter or moto, giving rec's for what to do etc.  We loved our 2 hr. horse ride and also enjoyed the dogs on the property!  Would highly recommend staying here!!

We had the most wonderful time at Finca Montania Sagrada and could not be more grateful to Merilena and Hari for their generous hospitality. They had so many wonderful recommendations that fit the needs and interest of our family. Merilena's lasagna was delicious! And the horseback riding with Hari and his sweet horses will remain one of the most incredible highlights of our trip. We hope to return to Finca Montania Sagrada next time we visit Nicaragua. Until then, we will treasure the fond and beautiful memories. 

Our host accommodated us well when we arrived. They recommended where to eat as well as offering to give a small tour to the Volcano Maderas for a decent price. The tour was great; we went horseback riding for about two hours starting from the Finca and going to a nice plane where we could see both volcanoes. Overall a great place to stay. The only thing is that we came by car and we found that to get to the place it was a pretty rocky dirt road. After this rocky (but manageable) road, there was another road that was even worse, it was very rocky and only trucks can get through. We didn't know this and we started to take our car up but soon realized it wasn't the best idea. Other than that, the host has a great place and accommodated us well.

This accomodation was really special: a pretty remote ranch with a lot of nature around. The apartment was clean and equiped with all necessary equipment. Harri our host had a great tip for a restaurant nearby, were we had dinner for two nights and he organised us a very good Guide to climbed up the vulcano! They also served a very good breakfast.

Beautiful and comfortable place.   Animals were entertaining, especially the parrots. Horse ride was beautiful and some what challenging, even for an old cowboy.

Loved your place. People. Pets. Landscape. Everything. Thanks

Wonderful place, if you like nature and want a knowledge host of the surrounding area and good company stay at Fincia Montania Sagrada, Ps. They have hot showers

My partner and I stayed at the finca this last week. We were very well taken care of and the room was lovely. The finca is a bit off the beaten path but if you are up for an adventure you will be well rewarded as this place is gorgeous. Lots of beautiful fruit trees, adorable pets, and very friendly people. The pasta dinner was excellent and breakfast each morning was fantastic :) Hari provided us with information and assistance on where and when to hike the San Ramon waterfall and to go for a kayak tour as well as giving as recommendations on where to eat (side note you must try margaritas place for dinner: the food is the best I've had in Nicaragua). I would highly recommend the finca for anyone's stay on isla de ometepe; as we thoroughly enjoyed our time there :) Carli

Finca Montania Sagrada is magic. It's a lovely farm with horses, dogs, butterflies and other wildlife. The Mamacita room was perfect with a porch and hammock. Marilena was welcoming and gave good suggestions on what to do during our visit. The breakfast was great too. We want to go back. 

We really enjoyed our stay here on Ometepe. Their place fit perfectly into the vibe of the island. Relaxed but professional, they were on point for all our needs, from ferry times and taxis, to on-island travel and activities.  Dinner was delicious and we enjoyed the animal kingdom they are building.

Absolutely amazing place to stay!! Marilena and Hari were both very welcoming and friendly and the property itself and rooms were beautiful. 

We couldn't have imagined staying anywhere else on Ometepe. Surrounded by amazing people and friendly horses, dogs, parrots, and cats on a beautiful piece of property. What more could you ask?  Hari, Minca, Marliena, Valentino, Carlos, and all the staff were an absolute pleasure to be around, never hesitating to arrange for a delicious meal or new activity. We took the horses up to the waterfall and highly recommend it. The staff was also great about plugging us into the local festivals. One more Flor de Cana rum drink and I may have been riding a bull.   The hosts take great care of their property and animals. We loved our Mamacita room (and its hammock) and are already planning our next visit.

I don't even have the words to say how wonderful the hosts at the Finca are! Everyone is so friendly and accommodating. Hari was always there to help us with anything we needed, from a lovely horse tour to providing directions to a place to grab some food. Although the food served there at the Finca is spectacular too! Mirka and Marilena were excellent hosts as well, always willing to help and even offering to make delicious pasta for us when we arrived much later than expected our first night. Seriously the Finca was our favorite place out of the three we stayed at, and it was due in large part to the quality of the hosts. It was awesome to have so many animals around too. Some of our best memories consist of everyone hanging out and chatting together in the company of all the dogs, cats, and parrots.   One note of caution-- it does take some time to travel out there (1 hr ferry ride + 1 hr taxi ride). But it's SO worth it! I highly suggest contacting Hari to arrange a taxi for you from the ferry to the finca so you won't have to carry your luggage up the long and rocky driveway (which is doable but tiring).  The rooms and food are fantastic, there's an abundance of stuff to do, and a lot of great people to meet! We can't wait to go back :)

Really amazing property and bedroom. Absolutely loved the parrots! Really tucked away location that made this part of our trip very memorable. They gave us a great recommendation for a beachside restaurant with amazing fresh fish just down the road. Very recommended. Would have loved to stay longer. 

Cool place and accomodation perfect spot to start climbing the Madeiras Volcano.

Lovely place to stay. Mica and Hari were really friendly hostesses! Merida is an amazing place in the island where you can do different activities. Perfect location!! Rooms were extremely clean and new with an amazing view. No complaints at all. Thanks for everything!

We were very fortunate to stumble upon Harry's property on AirBnB. We probably would have missed this lovely gem if left to our own devices. Wow. Three Warnings before coming:  1) The taxi is the only easy way to get there from the port (or if you pre-arrange a private pick-up). The bus may take you much longer than you'd like.  2) This is not a place where you are going for the active nightlife or to dress up for. This is much more rustic than any other part of Nicaragua that we had been to.  3) You will never want to leave :)  The road intimidated us a little as we took the taxi. It was roughly 35$ U.S. to get there and was about 1.5 hours. The last 7 kilometers consists of dirt and LOTS of rocks. When we arrived, we were greated by Harry's wife (and the dogs/parrots came soon after). She showed us to our room on the beautiful property. It really felt like we were in a private jungle on our porch. Admittedly, we were at first nervous of being too secluded and rustic. However, we could not have been more wrong. We did a great hike up the Maderas Volcano to the waterfall (which takes 4.5-6.0 hours depending on speed). Then, we still even had time to Kayak! The next day, we went Horseback riding and it may have been our favorite part of Nicaragua. A smoothe, two hour trail took us to one of the most pretty views I have seen. the horses that we used (owned by Harry), Tequila and Pinto, were not only well taken care of, but also very easy for new riders to handle. It was a real treat. Then, we rented a motorcyle and got tour the outskirts of the island. Make sure you remember to bring the registration as the police may stop you to check.   Overall it may feel far from the port but once you are there you will hate to leave! There are so many activities around (like Monkey island, the natural pool, or the waterfall) that it would be a shame not to add this to your trip! Thanks for showing us a great time Harry!   P.S. Be sure to stop by Margarita's Bar, the best food I have ever tasted :)

Marilena, Myrka, Juan, the parrots, the dogs, the horses... everyone we met was absolutely welcoming and beautiful.  My boyfriend and I spent three of our loveliest nights on Ometepe at Finca Montania Sagrada, unforgettable.  The land is abundant, peaceful, and stunning.  Breakfast was wonderful.  We felt safe and cared for, and just got to relax into the amazing energy of the island.  Hiking Volcan Madera was one of the best days we've spent on holiday together.  Riding the horses to the petroglyphs was also an absolute treat.  We will be back to visit again one day!  Lots of love... 

My girlfriend and I stayed for two nights at the Finca, and it was great! Spending the afternoons laying in the hammock and reading a book was probably the most relaxing part of our trip in Nicaragua. The room was very nice and well built and pretty much exactly what you see in the pictures.   We only had one full day here, so we opted to take a horseback ride with Hari up to the waterfall. I definitely recommend you do this, we had a lot of fun galloping on the way back. Our horses even took a break to enjoy the lake!  I don't recommend this place if you're looking for a night life -- the place is very remote and you'll probably spend all your time in the evenings hanging out at the Finca. We spent our evenings hanging out in the communal area, playing with their parrots and dogs, and chatting with other guests.  A word of advice -- do not make the mistake of assuming you can pay with credit card even though they accept it for booking on Airbnb. They only take cash and we weren't told this prior to arriving. It got a little awkward with Hari when we let him know we had to use an ATM - he got a little brusque but he was able to arrange for us to stop by at an ATM on the way back to the ferry station.   Also, the round trip cost is $60-65 by taxi -- the original posting said they could pick up at the ferry for $25-$30 roundtrip, but they weren't able to pick us up at the time. Still worth it though.  All in all, we had a great time staying here and I do recommend you visit them if you plan to visit Ometepe!

Dear Alex, thank you so much for the nice thing you say about our Finca. We must point out that we never said that the round trip to and from Merida would cost 30 $!. Unfortunately taxies to Merida are expensive due to the bad road and we can assure you nobody would take you for less than US$ 30!  Further here in Ometepe is not easy to have credit card facility and it takes years before you can actually work with it! Airbnb asks you your credit card details for the room which is paid to us by them directly. Of course you need cash to pay your meals, tours, taxies, etc. We really enjoyed having you and your lovely girlfriend here and we wished you'd could stay longer. Wish you both a lovely 2013!

Our stay was short but we really enjoyed the atmosphere created by nice host's. We had problems with Motorcycle rental that Harry assisted us with. Wish we could have stayed a little longer and got to interact more in the Finca and with the hosts. Positive vibe and nice place to get away from it all. 

Exceptional in every way.  We stayed at Finca Montana Sagrada for 3 nights in December. We arrived at Ometepe after 2 days in Granada. After our stay in Ometepe, we travelled to San Juan del Sur for another 2 nights. The entire trip was great; staying at the Finca was the highlight.   Mirka and Maria-Elena were waiting for us at the ferry to take us back to the finca. The ride to the is about 1 hour by car, and is an adventure in itself.   We discovered a beautiful property, at the base of volcano Maderas, with an abundant garden full of fruit trees (bananas (3 types), lemon, maracuja (passion fruit), goyava). The owners, Mirka, Hari and Maria-Elena made the stay unforgettable. We also loved being around their numerous pets (Peruvian Inca dogs, chihuahuas, cats, parrots, and horses).   We stayed at Casa Mamacita on the first floor. The room was perfectly clean, had a fan, a mosquito protection for the King-size bed (there were no mosquitos at this season) and hot water. Hot water is a luxury in Nicaragua and on the island, and we definitely enjoyed it after a full day of hiking. We also enjoyed relaxing on the hammock and rocking chair on the porch while watching the sunset, listening to the birds, and eating the fresh passion fruit and oranges left out for us.  The finca offers an incredible breakfast: fresh fruit juice (made from papayas and other tropical fruit from the garden), fresh yogurt and local honey, toast with home-made marmalade, and delicious Italian coffee. You can also enjoy a nice fresh juice during the day and stay there for dinner. You have to tell them the same day, and they'll prepare you some amazing pasta! (We ate some of the best food of the trip here). You can also go for dinner, near at Margarita's little restaurant, which offers local food in a familial environment.  The finca has a perfect location for those who like tranquility, authenticity and adventure. You can just relax or do a wide range of outdoor activities that are easily reached from there, including, kayaking on the lake, hiking the volcano Maderas, and horse-back riding. All are highly recommended.   If you go to Nicaragua, you will want to go to Isla Ometepe. If you go to Isla Ometepe, you should stay here. We couldn't recommend it more highly.
