This is a great location. You can start many hikes of Maderas, Playa Santa Domingo, The Jerusalem Waterfall and bike to Ojo De Aqua right from your hut. The view of Concepcion is amazing (and for an even better on you can walk up the road to Hostel Santa Cruz and sit at the restaurant. Very close). Our huts were... More

Cristiano took good care of us and he's a great host. Cool place to sleep with the breezes at night....Like a nature reserve here with all the plant life and animals. Great breakfasts! I heartily recommend staying here on Ometepe and Cristiano also knows the best guides. El Encanto is hard to find but a great restaurant! Sorry we didn't... More

We stayed at Finca del Sol for 4 nights and loved it! This was the best accommodations of our two weeks in Nicaragua. We enjoyed the Bamboo Lodge…spacious and comfortable for two people…definitely worth the price. Sheri and Cristiano are excellent hosts…friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Breakfasts are delicious…large portions, fresh local fruit, served in a beautiful setting amidst flowers and... More

Finca del Sol is one of the most beautiful places we stayed in Nicaragua. We were fortunate enough to secure La Luna for five days in February. Our lovely cabana had a beautiful view of Volcan Concepcion and every day we found the Finca's sheep grazing just outside our door. The cross breeze through the cabana made for comfortable sleeping... More

This was probably our favorite place we stayed in Nicaragua. Sheri and Christiano were fabulous hosts and very accommodating. The fresh, healthy breakfast in the morning is a must! While we were there we decided to hike up to the look out of Volcan Maderas without a guide. Sheri and Christiano gave us directions for a short cut through their... More

My boyfriend and I were greeted by Edi, the happiest cab driver ever, who was willing to oblige our detour to Ojo de Agua before even us checking into Finca Del Sol. Although our cabin 'Sol' was adorable and designed beautifully, the cross ventilation was lacking and we would suggest booking the larger cabin located at the top of the... More

We stayed 2 nights. We should have booked a third (and avoided our rather less relaxing night in Moyagalpa). The bungalows were very cute. Well constructed, designed, furnished and well tended. Sheri and Christiano were fantastic hosts. We really loved the breakfasts. This is definitely a place to kick back and relax in. Be prepared for the composting toilets. They... More

We stayed two nights (wish it had been longer) and enjoyed every minute at Finca del Sol (we stayed in Luna). Sheri and Christiano have created a wonderful retreat that provides every guest the opportunity to experience and enjoy the natural beauty of Ometepe.
