Finca del Sol was one of the highlights of our trip to Nicaragua! The only regret my boyfriend and I had was not being able to stay longer. Our cabin was beautifully decorated, clean and the price was very much reasonable. Cristiano and his staff were professional and accommodating. He was kind enough to recommend activities for us to do... More

My boyfriend and I stayed here for three nights while visiting Ometepe in early May. We had a wonderful time! From the start, everything worked out great. Christiano, the owner, helped coordinate travel from the ferry to the B&B, with a stop at Ojo de Aqua for a refreshing dip in the water and a tasty lunch. We stayed in... More

We loved staying at Finca del Sol. The location is great, easy to get to and convenient once you get there to come and go to the beach and the little town of Balgue. We were most impressed by the bungalows made completely from natural materials on the property such as adobe, thatch etc. Also each bungalow has privacy and... More

I stayed at Finca del Sol with my partner for 3 nights... It's a very unique vibe, 3 unusual cabins set amongst an organic farm and gardens. Ours was a bright blue cabin, and was very spacious, comfortable bed and mosquito net. The owners Sheri and Christiano are welcoming, and are very happy to talk about the lodges, the area... More

We stayed at Finca Del Sol, in the yellow cabin (El Sol) for four nights in May 2013. Every part of the communication and organisation with Cristiano and Sheri went smoothly; from the email communications in advance, to the taxis (Eddie on Ometepe and Pedro in San Jorge) and tour guide (Efraim) they arranged for us. Everyone was helpful and... More

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
