The Casa Violeta - Relaxed Luxury in Granada

As seen in Architectural Digest, Condé Nast Traveler and Domino Magazine, Casa Violeta provides escape, peace, and tranquility in Granada's tropical, Spanish-Colonial town. Every booking includes access to highly curated travel tips and recs provided by the founder of El Camino Travel, Katalina Mayorga. Armed with her knowledge, you'll have direct access to one-of-a-kind experiences not available anywhere else and discover hidden gems to visit in this stunning country. The space Staying at Casa Violeta is much more than booking a luxury villa. We pride ourselves on creating a whole experience for our guests rooted in expert knowledge of the destination. Rest assured that you will be well taken care of while staying with us, and you can count on us to provide you insider travel tips and ideas for your time in this beautiful country. The house is decorated with antiques sourced throughout the country, custom ceramics from the village of San Juan del Oriente, and modern art from contemporary Nicaraguan artists. We visited several studios to source the perfect art for Casa Violeta that added additional cultural texture and layers of character and soul to the home while celebrating all the country's talent and craftsmanship. Take a dip, or soak in the sun in the courtyard and custom-tiled pool, under open skies, surrounded by lush, tropical flowers and trees. Sip a cocktail (or two), gathering in the curated, open kitchen, living, and dining areas of the peristyle that offers shade, catching breezes from Lake Nicaragua, and offering views of a never-ending motif of color. Locally made, hand-crafted black, gray, and white tiles make the eye follow a canvass of bold patterns draped in colorful blankets. The attention to detail and delicate balance of geometric design and natural, tropical elements provides captivation and visual candy in every corner. From the terrace, wake up with your morning coffee, gazing at the southern views of Mombacho, the volcano that gives Granada its rich, dark soil. As the sun fades and the night sky emerges, chat away the evening with nightcaps, directing your eyes north to Our Lady of the Consumption, the central, canary-yellow cathedral that prevails over the local skyline. This luxury villa is accessible by a private, gated entrance aptly named Banana Avenue, offering private car parking. While private car parking is available, the villa is centrally located, only four and a half blocks from the central square, and well within walking distance to Granada's major highlights. Accommodating a total of six people, each of the three bedrooms comes with a single king-sized bed, although each king can be split into two separate twin beds upon request. Each bedroom is also equipped with air conditioning (See note on the environment below!). The house also comes with a fully-equipped kitchen. However, please note that there is no oven. We strongly recommend that children be at least five years of age or more to stay due to the open staircase and courtyard. All reservations include pool cleaning and electric usage (it is not uncommon to be charged separately for that in Granada). With our courtesy travel recommendations and tips, you'll be able to arrange several services and experiences at the house including babysitting, private yoga classes, massages, cooking classes, and private photoshoots. Just ask, and we'll point you in the right direction. Guest access The property manager will meet the guests to hand-off keys and show the house, and will be available to help with any issues that may arise. You will be able to contact the owners to get any assistance with arranging additional experiences.
