**As seen on House Hunters International** Casa Romantica is all about the details! Reviews say it all, and we encourage future guests to read all previous comments from others who have stayed with us. Not only will you have 2 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, a comfortable living area and full kitchen, but also enjoy your own private pool, 2 powerful AC units, 2 TVs, fiber optic dependable internet, Netflix, 2 bicycles, board games and books, and a 24/7 personal concierge, all in an EXCELLENT location! The space If you saw Casa Romantica featured on House Hunters International, you might know it as Casa de Mullet... business in the front, party in the back :) Can’t decide between a “luxury” hotel with all the comforts of home or a more “authentic” experience renting a Nicaraguan house with fewer amenities? Casa Romantica bridges the gap and beats either choice by giving guests the privacy, space and authenticity of a true Nicaraguan colonial home while also providing higher end details not even found in Granada’s most expensive hotels, all in an EXCELLENT location. The house is a perfect combination of historic colonial elements and modern amenities, and is even more beautiful at night. Wall sconces give a warm ambiance to the main living room, garden and pool areas and Granada's low light pollution levels make for incredible views of the night sky. Count the stars from the pool or watch a Nicaraguan thunderstorm from the comfortable sofa! Reviews from previous guests say more than any listing could, so we encourage you to read through comments from our previous guests, but things we think make Casa Romantica a great choice for your stay in Granada are: Perfect location - in colonial district and close to all attractions, but one street away from late night / early morning noise, so guests can enjoy a peaceful sleep and still walk to tourist attractions, great restaurants and nightlife in less than 5 minutes. Best street in Granada! *Note: While Calle Santa Lucía is quieter than La Calzada or others between, guests sleeping in the downstairs bedroom might still hear some street noise. The upstairs bedroom is in the back of the house and on the second floor, so it is removed from almost all noise, but downstairs bedroom is on the street level and may experience more noise, especially during festival weeks (see calendar in photo section)* Private indoor / outdoor pool - partially open to the sky for sun and partially covered by roof for shade. Pool starts around 3 feet deep and gradually gets to about 6 feet deep. Roll down shades can divide pool and living areas for shade, privacy, or weather Colonial details like 30 ft ceilings with polished cane, handmade Nicaraguan floor tiles, solid wood colonial columns, red tile rooftop and antique Granada doors used as decoration throughout the home New (2017) and very powerful 2400 BTU air conditioning units in each bedroom for quick cool down and restful sleep 1800 thread count sheets (brought from US) Ultra soft monogrammed waffle robes (2) Blackout curtains in both bedrooms for sleeping in or taking an afternoon siesta 3” feather mattress toppers brought from US on both queen beds (Nicaraguan mattresses are not as thick as guests might be accustomed to at home, and luxury mattress toppers make a huge difference for a comfortable night's sleep) Large, plush beach towels available for pool use, as well as thick, soft towels for bath use 2 bicycles provided for guests at no charge (bike locks also provided) Real hot water from every tap (no electric shower head attachments) means safe access to hot water on demand in shower and all sinks Additional water pressure pump for use when the rest of the city has only a trickle (especially common during morning hours) Telescope with adjustable stand and multiple lenses for stargazing at night 8 ceiling fans to keep air moving throughout the house, keeping even the open air areas pleasant and breezy on hot days 2 oscillating floor fans (one in each bedroom) provide additional comfort Full kitchen: all cooking utensils and plates / silverware / glassware, as well as regular toaster, toaster oven, espresso machine, regular coffee maker and filters, blender, microwave, full size 6 burner gas stove and oven, full size refrigerator and freezer with ice trays, tupperware, vegetable choppers, Pyrex dishes, pots and pans, cutting boards, knife set, strainers, cookie sheets, Ziploc bags, spices, wine openers, etc... Everything you could need to enjoy a night in and cook at home! Wireless bluetooth speakers for listening to music 2 wireless printers for business travelers 3 flatscreen TVs (living area, downstairs bedroom, upstairs bedroom) so you can watch local channels or even a movie in bedrooms or from the pool Claro cable package with 100+ channels on all 3 TVs (mainly in Spanish) Roku with VPN on all 3 TVs with US Netflix, Hulu, Youtube and other streaming options. This uses a US Netflix account, so American and European movies and TV shows are accessible (mainly in English) by using Casa Romantica’s Netflix account Surge protectors for safely charging electronics, which we recommend due to Nicaragua's occasional power outages and surges High speed Wifi with 2 routers to ensure strong connection and signal (main router downstairs, second router upstairs) 5 gallon purified water tank provided (and refilled as needed) at no charge Board games, playing cards, puzzles, dominoes, ping pong set, and other favorites provided for guest use in living room cabinet Travel books and guides, local maps, photo books, brochures and coupons for area attractions available for guest use on sala bookshelf Laundry (washing machine is provided, but no electric dryer - line and pins for drying are provided, or we will be happy to take to local laundromat for our guests) Iron provided in bedroom closet Toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, lotion, shower gel) provided 2 real size (1875 watt) hairdryers, 1 curling iron, 1 Chi hair straightener Extra security: 3 bright exterior lights and additional iron gate on front door for guests who want to open wooden doors for breeze or to see what's happening outside while feeling safe and secure inside (Note: the house is in a very safe neighborhood on the best street in Granada, but we have added these things to give first time visitors added peace of mind) Luggage scales for weighing bags (always helpful after a shopping trip to the Masaya market!) 5 glass doors in downstairs sala open to allow for breeze throughout the house Inflatable 24” queen mattress available (in addition to the 2 queen beds with real mattresses) Garden area with hammock, 2 hammock chairs and real grass (please water if staying more than a few days and declining maid service) Electronic security safe with customizable codes provided in master bedroom Hangers are provided in master closet and dressers with ample drawer space are provided in both bedrooms Pool floats and toys, beach towels, coozies, plastic plates and cups for use around pool are provided Handheld cooler / ice chest for keeping drinks cold near pool or on excursions is provided for guest use Emergency light (kitchen ceiling) automatically turns on in case of electricity outage at night. Flashlights are also provided. Fire extinguisher, safety kit and first aid kit in house Car seat (for cars) available in upstairs laundry closet No additional electric fees will be charged to guests (please be respectful of this, as most other rentals do charge additional electric fees, and we’d like to keep from passing this on to guests) In house cooking available upon request Local cell phone provided upon request (local calls only please) The very best thing about Casa Romantica is Julio Jaime! He is available 24/7 for guests, and can help with transportation, area recommendations, tours, emergencies, and anything else you might need! You'll see his name mentioned over and over again in the comments from previous guests, and while we are proud to offer all the things listed above, there is no doubt that having Julio as a dedicated full time guest concierge is what truly sets Casa Romantica apart! All of this is on the best street in Granada, just one block from San Francisco Convent and in the most desirable residential neighborhood in town. Neighbors are often outside visiting in rocking chairs, which gives an additional layer of safety and friendliness to the area, and we ask guests to please be respectful to our wonderful neighbors. For couples who do not require a second bedroom, the downstairs sala bed can be stowed away to provide a unique second living space / TV room with air conditioning. We realize that some of these bullet points may seem standard to many travelers, but that is not always the case in Nicaragua. After personally renting almost 20 of the nicest homes and hotels in Granada, we were shocked by what was considered a “full kitchen” (hot plate and no utensils, oven or stove for $300 / night) or a “great night’s sleep” (extremely thin mattress on the floor) or a “private escape” (2 dogs in the house that were never disclosed). In other words, photos and descriptions can be deceiving, and we have done our very best to bridge those gaps and provide a truly honest and fantastic experience for guests at Casa Romantica. We think the reviews of Casa Romantica say it best, but these are important points to bring up anyway, so we encourage our guests to inquire with any hotel or home about anything specific that is important to you instead of just assuming anything before your trip. **Please note that all colonial buildings (homes and hotels) in Nicaragua are predominantly open air, and minimal space is covered or enclosed. Casa Romantica's "open roof" is smaller than most, so only half of the pool is directly under the opening of the roof, but the main living space, pool area and kitchen are all "open air". Both bedrooms and bathrooms are completely enclosed. Please see photo section for detailed floor plan. This open air concept makes homes difficult to keep clean, especially in rainy season. While we have an exceptional maid at Casa Romantica, please keep in mind that open air homes in the tropics will not be as clean as enclosed spaces of North America or Europe (Please keep this in mind when staying elsewhere in Nicaragua as well; There is no way to keep all dust, bugs or noises out here... but that's part of what makes it a new experience) Please see photo section for transportation rates Guest access You will have access to the entire home and all amenities, including both bedrooms, pool, kitchen, high speed Wifi, TVs and air conditioning, bicycles, etc (no shared spaces) and we will not enter the home for any reason during a guest's stay unless previously discussed. Property manager (Julio) will meet you at the house with keys and show you around upon arrival. Regular checkin is 3pm Private covered parking garage with 24 hour security is located 2 blocks away and is $2 / night. Julio worked as professional tour guide for 10+ years before coming to work as a full time property manager and guest concierge for Casa Romantica, and he is an excellent source of info for all things Granadino (speaks Spanish / English, is available 24/7, and is also available for private airport transfers, tours, activities, local recommendations, translations, or any other needs during your stay). Julio is also great with kids, and lives very near Casa Romantica with his wife and 4 sons, so he is a dependable guy and is available to guests any hour of the day or night, and can be as involved or as absent as guests wish. Other things to note Casa Romantica was featured on House Hunters International on January 5, 2018 (Season 116, Episode 10: "Grand Investment in Granada, Nicaragua") We have updated with new furniture and a new roof, and visit the house every 2 - 3 months from US in order to replace / ensure the quality and availability of sheets, towels, bedding, games, books, etc If you'd like to do laundry, please ask Julio for key to laundry closet and have him show you how to operate machine (different from those in North America and Europe). There is no additional charge for using washing machine, but we do ask that Julio shows guests how to work it first, as we have had well meaning guests flood the second floor trying to figure it out in the past. Maid service and trash removal is available any time, but please let Julio know your preferred times / frequency, as some guests prefer daily interaction and some prefer none at all. We will never enter the home for any reason without permission during your stay, so please let us know your preferences for house cleaning / trash removal upon checkin. Reference manuals are inside the home (3 provided) or call Julio directly for any concerns or immediate requests. Manuals include emergency contacts, local restaurant menus, and more. Electric and water outages are common in Nicaragua, but if you should experience an outage lasting longer than 30 minutes, please call Julio directly. He has been known to get water running again at Casa Romantica several hours before the rest of the street or city had service restored, so he will be happy to help in case of prolonged outages if he can. Nicaragua is a very Catholic country, and religious holidays are celebrated with great enthusiasm in Granada. It is common during these holidays to see bands and parades throughout town, and guests will also hear fireworks ("bombas") going off all over town at all hours. The noise can be startling if you're not expecting it or don't know what it is :) A list of dates for Nicaraguan holidays (2018) is provided in photos section of the listing. Electricity costs are extremely high in Nicaragua (the highest in Central America) and the approximate cost per KWH is US $0.50. Please be conscientious about electricity usage and turn off all air conditioners, pool pump, fans, TVs and lights when not in use and especially when leaving the house. We strive to be environmentally conscious and to keep electricity usage included in the nightly price, rather than having guests pay a separate amount for electricity The pool is NOT baby-safe. Please be watchful of babies and children around the pool area! We do not recommend bringing rental cars to Granada, as they are often more hassle than they're worth and the city is easier to navigate on foot than by car. However, for guests who do bring cars we recommend parking overnight in a privately gated and covered garage (about 2 blocks west of the house, cost is $2 - $3 per night)

Private Oasis with Pool in Excellent Location - Houses for Rent in Granada, Granada, Nicaragua

Great place to stay, the host was always very communicative in case we needeed something, very kind and really helpful

First my wife and I were told not to use the front bedroom or air, and asked to limit our air con to late night. My daughter and her children came over to visit, and use the pool. My grand daughter found 3 pieces of glass in the pool and almost 100 broken and sharp tiles also in the pool.

It is a really nice place and the location is top! Our host was also super friendly and nice. I can absolutely recommend it and we would devinetly book it again :)

If you want to have the best experience in Granada, this house is for you. Highly recommended.

well equipped responsive host many places are well within walking distance

This was a perfect first place to arrive in Nicaragua! The house manager, Julio, picked us up at the airport and literally treated us like family- great tours, incredibly responsive, house was comfortable and exactly as described. Julio also had incredible recommendations for food- both local places and nice restaurants. He never led us astray! Pool was very refreshing to lounge in with the heat- but the AC’s work incredibly well in the bedrooms at night, so it was very comfortable to sleep in!

Julio was a great host, very responsive, and met us at the airport and provided transportation to the house. The house felt very much like an oasis in the city. Our kids LOVED being able to swim after walking around the city every afternoon. Very clean and welcoming. Again, Julio was a great contact to have and had a lot of suggestions for things to do in and around the city.

Casa Romántica is a nice little colonial home very close to the center of town.  A good value/price for a nice traditional place with a dipping pool.  The photos are likely from several years ago when the house was in much better condition, but it’s still charming.

The place was beautiful and Julio was an incredible host. He helped us with everything we needed. I would highly recommend this place to anyone staying in Granada. I hope to come back again! Thank you for everything.

House as described, small pool was a great plus. Location ideal for easy walk into centre past many food cafes and restaurants. Suggested restaurants in house book was a real help.

Well-located accommodation in the city, if you enjoy the city. Close to a street with restaurants and places to visit. A few small things were missing from the accommodation: a lighter to light the stove burners, a cutting board, and flat sheets for the beds, so we had to use the duvet cover directly. Cleanliness was OK, but a few details cast doubt on the cleanliness: hair in the shower, towel folded but dirty in the bathroom, dining room table showing signs of a dirty rag used to “clean” it. The open-air space is great during the day, but for an hour or two in the evening, it turns into a real mosquito nest. We didn't have a spiral binder, and the box in the drawers was empty. So remember to bring mosquito coils. We’re more nature lovers; it was more of a “pit stop” for our arrival, not too far from the airport (about 50 minutes).

Logement bien placé en ville, si vous appréciez la ville. Proche d'une rue de restaurants et endroits à visiter. Quelques petits trucs manquaient dans le logement: briquet pour allumer ronds de poêle, planche à découper, draps plats pour les lits, donc directement avec la douillette. Propreté ok, mais quelques détails mettaient en doute la propreté; cheveux dans la douche, serviette pliée, mais sale dans la salle de bain, table de la salle à manger présente traces de guenille sale utilisée pour la "nettoyer". L'air ouverte est géniale dans le jour, mais devient, pendant 1 heure ou 2 le soir, un vrai nid à moustiques. Nous n'avions pas de spiral et la boîte dans les tiroirs était vide. Donc penser à apporter des spirales pour moustiques. Nous sommes plus des gens de nature, c'était plus un "pit-stop" pour notre arrivée pas trop loin de l'aéroport (50taine de minutes).

Overall we had a pleasant experience during our stay. The location was very convenient to explore Granada; the co-host Julio was helpful to find one more bike for our party to use, as well as assist with completely laundry service. The home could use some minor maintenance upgrades and a master bathroom deep clean. I contacted the host about those issues and they were receptive about our recommendations.

Pros: Julio is amazing. If you need anything he will bring it to you or take you to it. AC works great Pool is nice to use Walkable to all restaurants and places around Hot water and good pressure Cons: Oversold Pool has broken tiles all inside, no pool floaties The sheets imported from us with 1800 thread counts is crap those are Walmart cotton cheap sheets. The worst beds with no “3” feather foam mattress covers” Everything is run down and needs a deep clean No oil, no salt and pepper, no basics to cook (Julio happily brought some though) Water dispenser was super dirty and had the old left over from previous people No large plush beach towel. Cheap regular towels TV not working speaker didn’t have a charger No board games to be found Only one bike available No laundry machine (Julio got things taken care of) But Julio was truly the best host and just at your service. We would stay there again simply because the pool/hammock area and Julio was the best host honestly !

My husband and son really enjoyed the place. Really spacious and met our needs. The only thing is the mosquitos at night ate me and my son alive. We put mosquito repellent and lit the mosquito repellent that is offered but didn’t help. Also the bed downstairs was not comfortable at all. All 3 of us slept upstairs since it was more comfortable accommodations. It is a beautiful place, it just needs a little more TLC.

Beautiful colonial house in the heart of Granada's historic center. They did a very nice renovation of the original house, with a small open area with a swimming pool that provides freshness and clarity inside the house. The location is very good, close to everything and there is a parking lot nearby to leave the car at night. Communication was very good and they treated us very well, they were very kind.

Linda casa colonial en pleno casco histórico de Granada, hicieron una remodelación muy agradable de la casa original, con una pequeña área abierta con una piscina que brinda frescura y claridad al interior de la casa. La ubicación es muy buena, cerca de todo y hay un estacionamiento cerca para dejar el carro durante las noches. La comunicación fue muy buena y nos trataron muy bien, fueron muy amables.

The house is very comfortable, nice and very well located. Julio, the host, is one of the best I have seen. The tranquility and privacy of the house is unbeatable. The pool is small but very clean and enough for 4 people to enjoy. It is only 3 blocks from the park, which is very good. We really spent some incredible days at Casa Romántica. Congratulations, we will definitely be back very soon.

la casa es muy cómoda,  bonita y muy bien ubicada, Julio el anfitrión es de los mejores que he visto, la tranquilidad y privacidad de la casa es inmejorable, la piscina es pequeña pero muy limpia y suficiente para que disfruten 4 personas, está a sólo 3 cuadras del parque lo que es muy bueno, la verdad pasamos unos días increíbles en Casa Romántica,  los felicito, definitivamente vamos a volver muy pronto.

We loved our stay at Casa Romantica in Granada! The place was so relaxing to come back to after exploring the town. Julio was helpful with anything we needed and even took us to and from the airport.

We stayed in this beautiful colonial home in Granada, and had a great experience. The house is spacious, very clean, and well maintained. It has a charming colonial style with traditional details that give it a lot of character, while still offering the comforts needed for a pleasant stay. The rooms are comfortable, well ventilated, and stay cool, which is perfect for Granada’s climate. Everything was clean, organized, and in excellent condition when we arrived. The location is excellent. There is also a nearby place where you can park your car for a fee and it is watched. It was a very comfortable and enjoyable stay. We would definitely recommend this home and would stay here again. ♡

i had a great stay, my 2 little girls enjoyed the pool on the hot days there ( and man was it hot outside!) only thing and its not a big deal, the bathroom upstairs was not working. other than that Casa romantica is a cool and relaxing place to stay a 3 or more days. I will come back.. but keep in mind if you bring more than 5 people , it may not be suitable as its 2 big bedrooms home.

Great location in old Granada with a pool in the living room. Ac was operational, and hot water worked fine. Short walk to everything. Good value for the location. we enjoyed our stay.

We had an excellent stay. We will definitely come back if available

This listing needs to be updated to match the experience. The house itself could also use some love. The second bed is very uncomfortable and very loud being so close to the street. There are so many ants in the kitchen it is difficult to prepare even a simple meal. In part due to it being low season, we found Granada to be pretty seedy. I was on edge the entire time with my family in tow. The location of the house was good, walkable and secure. We were very grateful to have the pool.

Thanks to Julio and Sheyla for their attention everything was great. me and my family were very happy We look forward to returning soon. Thank you

Gracias a Julio y Sheyla por la atención todo estuvo muy bien. mi familia y yo quedamos muy felices Esperamos volver pronto. Gracias

great place, I'll go back for sure. very beautiful, intimate, the name suits it very well, very romantic. Just the TV and poolside chairs were missing...but it was very beautiful...Thank you

superbe place, j'y retourne c'est certain. très beau, intime, le nom lui va très bien, très romantique. Juste la télévision et les chaises au bord de la piscine manquait....mais c'était très beau....Merci

Great stay, close to the airport and equipped with everything you will need. Super safe!

The house is very nice and comfortable, Julio's service was unbeatable. The only negative thing is that the only TV in the house did not work, and upstairs the wifi did not work well, that is, there was none. The rest was great.... 😊

la casa muy bonita y cómoda, la atención de julio inmejorable lo único negativo es que la única  tv de la casa   no funcionaba, y en la planta de arriba no iba bien el wifi osea no había, el resto genial .... 😊

We stayed at this house yesterday and the experience was excellent. The property is as shown in the photos: clean, well kept and with all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. The bed was very comfortable, the rooms were perfectly clean and the cozy decor made us feel at home. The location is very convenient, with easy access to supermarkets, restaurants and tourist spots. In addition, the area is quiet and safe. The host was very friendly and helpful at all times, responded quickly to our questions and gave us local recommendations that were very helpful. I would definitely recommend this house to other travelers and would not hesitate to stay there again in the future. Thank you for everything!

Nos hospedamos en esta casa ayer y la experiencia fue excelente. La propiedad es tal como se muestra en las fotos: limpia, bien cuidada y con todos los servicios necesarios para una estadía cómoda. La cama era muy cómoda, los ambientes estaban perfectamente limpios y la decoración acogedora hizo que nos sintiéramos como en casa. La ubicación es muy conveniente, con acceso fácil a supermercados, restaurantes y puntos turísticos. Además, la zona es tranquila y segura. El anfitrión fue muy amable y atento en todo momento, respondió rápidamente a nuestras preguntas y nos brindó recomendaciones locales que fueron de gran ayuda. Sin duda, recomendaría esta casa a otros viajeros y no dudaría en volver a hospedarme allí en el futuro. ¡Gracias por todo!

Its a very nice house to hangout in. I preferred staying there rather than going into the city lol.

What a quaint, comfortable and wonderful place. Everything was top notch from the beginning. Julio, the caretaker, was remarkable and even helped me plan a last minute surprise evening carriage ride with flowers. The carriage picked us up outside the restaurant and brought us back to our casa. Highly recommend!

My 2nd time staying here. Always a pleasure and enjoyable stay. House is very clean and cozy, splash pool is amazing! Would 100% recommend the stay!

Cute and peaceful place. Spent 3 nights at Casa Romantica, and the pool is a nice thing to have on a really hot area, nice neighborhood, people are kind and everything is walkable. Some of the pictures on the listing didn’t match what we saw, something like the bicycles, nothing big but it would’ve been nice to have it there, but I bet if you ask Julio (a nice guy btw) he can work something out with you. Overall, a Beautiful place and a good option if you are spending a few nights in Granada.

Beautiful stay and amazing hosts! Cannot recommend enough

Great stay! The pool in the middle of the living room really surprised us in the right direction! Very original and unique. Great restaurants and points of interest nearby. Julio was very responsive to our messages and give us good tips to make our stay go smoothly. Thank you very much ☺️

Excellent séjour ! La piscine au milieu du salon nous à vraiment étonnée dans le bon sens ! Très original et atypique. De bons restaurants et points d’intérêts à proximité. Julio était très réactif à nos messages et nous donner des bons plan pour que notre séjour se passent très bien. Merci beaucoup ☺️

Great location. Close enough to walk to everything, yet still quiet at night.

Very nice place, located in a short walking distance to the cathedral and lots of places to eat. The swimming pool is very enjoyable for children

Great casa, very spacious and has all the amenities. Ac worked perfectly. It was great to have a pool right in your living room! Julio was always very responsive and nice! Would absolutely recommend!

Conveniently located near great restaurants, the park central and other attractions.

Super charming house in a quiet, safe part of town, only a two-minute (or less) walk to the center of town. We LOVED the colonial feel of the house and the plunge pool for that hot afternoon heat...chef's kiss. Ashley provided us with everything we could possibly need: AC, hot water, soap/shampoo (bc I definitely forgot to pack it), speedy Wifi, a fully functional kitchen, comfy bed...the list goes on and on. Julio was also amazing and very accommodating to our schedule. We loved this little gem in Granada so much we actually wanted to book another weekend...but it was already booked (boo!). We will definitely stay here again. Thanks, Ashley!

We had an amazing stay at Casa Romantica! Great location, lots of room, felt very safe, well-equipped, and the plunge pool was fantastic and needed after our walks around town! More than just a great place to stay, the local host, Julio, made our stay easy, relaxing, and so much fun! He is the best! He arranged our airport pick-up, excursions, answered questions, and was  very responsive on texts. Immediately responded to any questions we had. We can’t say enough how much help he was and made our vacation so much better! Mucho gracias Ashley and Julio! Granada was amazing!

Great little piece of paradise in the middle of a quaint neighborhood!

A very charming house, a few minutes' walk to the center. The care was excellent!

Ein sehr charmantes Haus, einige Minuten Fußweg zum Zentrum. Die Betreuung war hervorragend!

Enjoyed to colonial/Spanish feel of the place. The pool and outdoor living was nice. Could evening see the stars while in the pool at night. AC worked well and glad for extra essentials ( toilet paper). Good location as could walk to most places for food and sights. Updates needed: The Murphy bed is broken and mattress desperately needs replacing. Couch cushions covers need replacing or at least fix zipper. No maid service or bikes and the extra pump for water pressure and some fans didn’t work. Need more hand towels for bathrooms. Water cooler needs cleaning or replacing. Overall rating would have been better if these updates done.

Nics cozy place with cute little plunge pool. The main bed was very comfortable. A little hard to find but otherwise great experience.

We loved the house, really neat local decor. Pool was amazing. Walkable safe town with great food/ shopping/ exploring. Julio was the best! He made sure we had transportation lined up for the entirety of our trip.

Absolutely wonderful! This was the perfect place for me, my father - age 85, and my daughter - age 10. My daughter and I coslept in the bed upstairs and it was the comfiest bed I've ever been in. My dad slept downstairs and was very comfortable with kitchen and bathroom convenient to him downstairs. HOT WATER! We initially stayed at a hotel, but quickly realized we wanted hot water and extra space - this place had that and more. Excellent location in that it's convenient to the main square/park and there's a convenience store around the corner. We never used the pool, nor the a/c, nor the TV, but it was nice knowing those amenities were there. We were able to enjoy the city each day and come back and make dinner as a family; felt like home away from home. Would definitely stay again! Julio - super - helped w/our bags, and even gave us a ride to our next hotel (we tried to extend our stay but it was booked). He found us a good deal on private transport to Esteli, too. GREAT STAY!

Wonderful month stay! Description/photos are 90% accurate. Used kitchen for breakfast & occasional dinner so no issues with ants/bugs. Brought RAID ant traps with us. Front room AC broke down & was quickly replaced with brand new external/internal machine. If u r a light sleeper, street noise may affect u. Upstairs Master Bedroom & adjoining bathroom/shower were a perfect haven! Excellent WiFi. Temporary power loss every few days but only lasted a few minutes. Only negative comment is water pressure but the plumbing is old so understandable. If staying long term, u may find limited drawers/storage in Mstr bedroom. Perfect location - safe, easy to explore by foot, great restaurants (El Zaguan, Boca Baco, ECO, Garden Cafe), churches, the Malecon, bars, clubs (Level 1). Main grocery store La Colonia is only a few minutes by car-well stocked but a bit pricey. ATM's dispense USD$ & Cordoba's. AirBnB Manager JULIO was incredible! Always ready to help, plan, assist, drive us where needed...

The place is a gem. The indoor/outdoor aspect of the living area is a special experience. Julio was in constant contact through a chat app. I am comfortable traveling places where I do not speak the language. If you are not, this is the place to stay. You always have a helping hand.

The place was amazing and accurately described, but Julio was even more amazing.  We ended up being abnormal needy tenants as we had to have Julio come over after dark to help us with an appliance, an hour after left we then locked ourselves out with all keys inside the villa.  He immediately began tracking down another key and had it delivered to us, and it was well into the night.  He never made us feel bad and was polite and understanding, which was very reassuring as this was our first night ever in Nicaragua.  It was really a great first impression for us of  the wonderful and helpful Nicaraguan culture.  We can’t thank them enough for making our stay in Grenada a wonderful experience.

The house was nice, conveniently located near restaurants and stores.  However the star for our trip was Julio. He went above and beyond to show us places and activities to do while there. Communication with him was easy and seamless. To airport pickup and drop off, overall guide to the surrounding areas he was wonderful and attentive.  He made the stay for us!

This is a great place to relax and enjoy while in Granada, walking distance to the central square, very close to restaurants, stores,etc.

My experience was excellent host Julio is tremendous very detailed and available to help with everything, gives peace of mind, security to one's hospitality.

Mi experiencia fue excelente el host Julio es tremendo muy detallista y disponible para ayudar en todo, le da tranquilidad, seguridad a uno su hospitalidad.

Very friendly and an excellent place, we loved the stay

Muy amables y un lugar excelente, nos encantó la estadía

Ashley's place was perfectly located in the middle of everything! It was a 5-8 minute walk to the main street where all of the bars/restaurants are located. Julio was very responsive and checked on us continually throughout our stay. Although we loved this stay, I would not recommend it to anyone who is afraid of insects/ animal life. With the open courtyard concept, there will be many little geckos. And you cannot leave any food out, as it will attract little ants everywhere.

Beautiful place, just like the pictures and the host was amazing. Would recommend to friends.

Beautiful place in the centre of Granada. The house was really well laid out and we loved the open pool and living area. It provided a perfect escape from the busy town. We felt like we were in our own little oasis. But this is not just a house - its also about the host Julio -El Patron! What a great guy who made our first few days in Nicaragua with the family such a pleasant experience. He took us on a private tour for a day where he did ziplining with us, cruised around the islets and his wife made us a wonderful breakfast in his home. I would recommend staying at casa romantica.

The pictures appear to be old, and the property needs some general maintenance. There were mice and mice feces in both the kitchen and downstairs bathroom. The downstairs AC also smelled of urine and feces from the rodents.

A beautiful place to rest and relax, the house is very nice and comfortable. The neighborhood is quiet, safe and nice, and it is close to other places and that is very good. 100% recommended.

it was a really great place. We found everything was clean. the housekepper was extraordinary, he responded quickly and helped us in our activities. Otherwise, a small update in the photos is required, as the appearance is not accurate. Plus, the bottom bed is very old and not very comfortable. There's no game

ce fut un logement vraiment super. Nous avons trouvés que tout était propre. le housekepper était extraordinaire, il répondait rapidement et nous aidait dans nos activité. Sinon, une petite mise à jour dans les photos est nécessaire, car l'apparence est pas exact. De plus, le lit du bas est très vieux et pas très confortable. Il n'y a pas de jeu

We had a pleasant stay at this charming property. The house had a cozy atmosphere, making it a comfortable place to relax. The location was convenient and we enjoyed exploring the surrounding area. However, we did encounter a couple of minor issues. There were some ants in the kitchen, as previously mentioned in other reviews, and the pool was foggy during our stay. Despite these small hiccups, we still had a great time. The host was responsive and attentive, and we appreciated their efforts to ensure our visit was enjoyable.

We loved staying at Casa Romantica. The open living space was so pleasant. It was as described and Julio was friendly and flexible with our check in time. It was nice to have hot water for dishes and showers and A/C for sleeping. The neighborhood is friendly and so many places are within walking distance. There were disappointments in the tools provided for Cooking and the ants were absolutely fast predators on any food left unattended for even a moment but I think that is fairly typical. The swimming pool is lovely but the pump seems to not be working. After a couple of rainy days, the pool was too full and also quite murky. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at Casa Romantica.

GOOD: Casita Romántica is beautiful and in a great location. The AC upstairs and the pool is a great touch after a hot Nica day. The bathroom was nice and it had a great shower and shower head. The upstairs bedroom was beautiful and the bed was comfortable. The downstairs is such a great space to relax. BAD: We had a hard time getting the keys from Julio, and getting in because the lock doesn’t work. His communication was poor. The kitchen supplies are not good at all. They are all damaged, so cooking was very difficult. The stove doesn’t turn on, you have to manually turn it on. Also, the ant situation in the kitchen was so bad that any cooking would be infested with ants within minutes. Our food got ruined lots of times. The fan in the bathroom didn’t work, and the fan in the bedroom worked when it wanted to. No TV downstairs. All in all it’s a great house, but need to fix something’s. I also think it’s a bit overpriced for Nica.

Really beautiful little oasis and great location. Host was excellent with communication and always available for any of our needs. Always responded immediately and tended to everything with urgency. Really felt taken care of in every way. 10/10 Can't wait to return!

I had a great time at Ashley’s place. The house was beautiful and matched the photos. It was nice to be able to jump in the pool in the middle of the day. My daughter had a blast. Julio, the property manager was so responsive and was always available. We did not want to leave. Thank you Ashley for a wonderful stay!

Great stay in Granada, swimming pool was really valuable !

We had a great stay at Casa Romantica! The house is very comfy and has everything needed. The pool is perfect to cool down during the hot afternoons. Hot water is a very pleasant perk after spending several months without it :) Ashley and Julio were both very friendly and helpful.

Beautiful house with ac and pool. Close to all restaurants and Central Park.

We loved our time in la casa romantica. Perfect location and we really appreciated the private pool. Thanks !

Super cute place close to everything. Julio was super helpful. We would come back again :)

Absolutely amazing stay! The pool was such a plus in the Granada heat! Very secure location

Absolutely amazing place! The house itself is exactly what it looks like in the pictures. Everything was clean and organized when we got there. The best part about the whole thing, outside of the pool is definitely Julio (the property manager). He took care of everything we needed with ease. Truly a great time, will be back soon!

This place was great! Ashley & Julio did a great job of making sure we were taken care of and that all of our needs were met! Julio went out his way to make sure we had a great trip and was there for us all of the days we were there! This place deserves more than 5 stars! Great people and a great Airbnb !

Beautiful home in Granada! Original, pleasant and practical. We had a lovely stay. The pool was welcome to cool off at any time of day!

Superbe maison dans Granada! Originale, agréable et pratique. Nous avons passé un très bon séjour. La piscine était la bienvenue pour se rafraichir à tout moment de la journée!

I loved my stay here. It’s a really nice spot. Good pool. Great location.

Our family with 2 young kids had a wonderful time at Casa Romantica! It looks just like the pictures! There was great communication before and during the stay. The host was so friendly! We felt very safe walking to the square and to the grocery store. It was very easy to get a taxi for longer trips. We have zero complaints. I only wish we could have stayed longer! Thank you!

Ashley and Julio were just amazing. Any questions or concerns were answered immediately. The pool was great to relax in. The house is located 3 blocks from La Calzada. There you will find many restaurants and entertainment. It was super easy to walk to, yet far enough away from the noise. I will certainly be back.

Great stay! Julio was helpful, did our laundry because there is no longer a washer. Awesome location. Pool is a necessity due to the heat!

Absolutely beautiful place. Would recommend anyone to come here

Above and beyond. For starters, the Airbnb is even more beautiful than the photos. Very clean, spacious, and updated. It is in an excellent location- I felt safe at all times. Before arriving in Nicaragua, Julio assisted us with booking private drivers for the weekend, a boat tour through the inlets, and providing excellent recommendations. During the weekend, my Mom experienced a medical emergency. Julio came straight over to help us, arranging a taxi to a local hospital. He came with us to help with translation. When we realized we’d need more extensive care, Julio arranged us a private driver to take us to the best hospital in Managua. When my Mom was discharged, the driver was already enroute to the hospital to take us back to Granada. To be honest, we could not have gotten through our weekend in Granada without Julio. If traveling to Granada, choose to stay at Ashley’s, Casa Romantica. You won’t be sorry.

Great place, centrally located, plenty of room. Julio was super helpful with everything.

Great living space with indoor/outdoor living! The location is close to the main square and lots of fun restaurants close by. Felt very safe although we were always back before 10pm. Star of the show was Julio and staff. He was responsive and endeavored to help with any request made.

This AirBnB was incredible! It offered a completely unique experience. Virtually the entire home is open air. With the exception of the bedrooms. This made for such a fun experience! The private pool, with the opening above, made for a nice experience when the evening came along for stargazing while swimming. Julio offered local recommendations, and even assisted with getting our clothes washed for us. He was incredibly nice, accommodating, helpful, and made our stay that much better.

We enjoyed our stay at Ashley's place. The place felt safe and had everything we needed for our stay. It was comfortable and Julio made sure we had everything we needed. They were flexible with our check-in and check-out. This place is very well located as it is only 4 blocks away to the main street with all the restaurants.

This was our 3rd trip to Granada. We enjoyed the house and I enjoyed the plunge pool. The house was as one would expect a property in Granada to be. The center living room area was very relaxing. A/C in both bedrooms is a big plus! There were many new items such as pots and pans and new pillows. The house is convenien and you can easily find food and drink within short walking distance. Julio was easy to communicate, nice and very punctual.

The place was very nice and the neighborhood was great. Thank you

This is such a lovely house. Our host Julio, is one of the best hosts we've had using this app.

Lovely place while visiting Granada. Close to restaurants and center. Lovely space.

My stay at Casa Romantica was a home base to sleep and shower since I was visiting family locally. It a beautiful property, safe neighborhood, great a/c and ceiling fans plus a good location within walkable distant to the heart of the city. The wifi was great and the filtered water stand was an added bonus. Walking or catching a taxi was easy from here even early mornings (0600). In my personal opinion (though not a deal breaker) the property could use a deep cleaning of all the nooks and cranny with fresh new towels, sheets and pillows. The property manager, Julio was easily reachable and attentive.

I liked the peace of mind of the facilities to relax

Me gusto la tranquilidad de las instalaciones para relajarse

Charming and spacious accommodation in a great Grenada neighbourhood - close to the action but far enough away that you'll have a peaceful night. Kudoos go to Julio for going above and beyond picking us at the airport late on New Year's Eve and missing out on his family's celebrations - also very reliable for early morning transport back to Managua!

This spot was fantastic! Such a great little getaway in Granada and the plunge pool and downstairs living/kitchen area was a great place to hang out after a day of exploring. Great AC in the bedroom and overall amazing place to stay very walkable to nearby restaurants and attractions. Julio was a fantastic co-host and hooked us up with great recommendations and helped coordinate a transfer for us which was very helpful. Can’t wait to come back to this amazing place.

This place was fantastic! Stunning interior, a great location, and super helpful hosts. We loved everything about this place, but did notice that the description was a little inaccurate in a few ways. The towels, linens and pillows need updating as there were holes and stains in the linens/towels and the pillows are very flat. For the most part, the place was very clean, but we did find a fair amount of trash and cigarette buds around the pool area. There was no daily maid service as was described, though we preferred it that way. Overall, we really enjoyed it here and would stay again. We just think there is a little room for improvement when it comes to the aforementioned things.
