This casual villa sits on a forested hilltop with stunning uninterrupted panoramic views, just 15 minutes South from San Juan del Sur. It's the ideal retreat for the dreamers, creatives, photographers, writers, designers or small groups looking for a place to reflect, reconnect, and recharge, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Wake up to tropical birds singing by your door or watch a herd of monkeys (spider, howler, or white-faced Capuchin) swinging by the nearby trees while sipping freshly brewed locally grown Nicaraguan Coffee.
Villa Paraiso del Sur is made up of one main house, El Rancho, plus two separate cabin rooms. Each space offers real indoor-outdoor feel, with warm hardwood tones, terraces, a pool, open-plan living spaces, panoramic windows and doors that make the most of the sweeping ocean and mountains views. One of the biggest bonus of being located at a high elevation is that the temperature is a few degrees cooler than at sea level and we get a very nice breeze. All rooms have screens doors to keep the bugs out and that let the breeze off the Pacific Ocean in.
El Rancho (main house)
Made out of locally harvested wood, incorporates all that is unique and rustic about Nicaragua, combined with a light contemporary twist that harmonize with nature and each other.
Upstairs, there are two bedrooms that share one bathroom. The corner room facing the ocean benefits from the natural daylight and airflow. Timber floors throughout, floor to ceiling sliding doors, and a king size bed with hotel quality sheets to make sure you have a comfortable nights sleep. Experience 180 degrees of panoramic view from your bed, read a book while laying in a hammock in the wrap around balcony or you can simply relax and watch the sun go down. This space makes you feel like you are in your own luxurious treehouse.
The second bedroom has a bunk bed. At the bottom there is a full size bed and at the top there is a twin size bed. These two bedroom share a bathroom which is equipped with hot water and plenty of counter space.
Downstairs
An open concept living area including kitchen / dining and a fourth fully equipped bathroom, leads out to a split-level open air living area. Spacious and airy, El Rancho offers the ideal area for entertaining; it's what brings guests together and overlooks the beautiful gardens, terraces, and dipping pool. Being at the hilltop grants you with expansive views of the Pacific Ocean, mountains, and San Juan del Sur. Epic sunsets will surely take your breath away.
The kitchen comes equipped with the basics you'll need to make delicious meals and enjoy dining al fresco, Refrigerator, Microwave, Kettle, Coffee maker, Gas Stove, Blender and Dining Set for nine.
