Farmstay vacation rentals in Rivas

Just like home, a home full of love and sharing: 1. The accommodation is beautiful, clean and organized. The rooms are very nice and spacious, the bedding is good. You can do your laundry there. Teresa does everything possible to make it comfortable and she succeeds! 2. The location is very convenient, close to almost all the essentials. Teresa recommended several activities to us at unbeatable rates and provided by volunteer and involved local providers. 3. Teresa is a reason in itself to stay there. She is very attentive, interesting and funny, she cooks divinely and is a must-see on the island. You'd be missing out if you didn't meet her, our stay would have been a bit dull without her. Beyond that, communication with Daniel was very simple and effective. Guillaume and Lucie

Hector was very helpful in giving local advice and organising transport for us. The family at the property were very friendly and welcoming.

Equilibrio was all that I hoped for and more. The owners, James and Gabriela have put much thought into the experience, anticipating what might delight their guests. There was plenty of space to relax, create, read, meditate, play, and enjoy the jungle, river, and beach. The casitas are fenced off from each other to create large, private jungle "yards." The 15 acre retreat is near town, but secluded, and each large casita has its own sizable part of the whole. I loved our "Guitar" casita which brings the best parts of the outside in -- the jungle view, the bird sounds, the breezes, and leaves out the bugs and rain. Heaven. The mosquito netting walls simply disappear. Our casita had plenty of bottled water, a refrigerator, coffee maker, coffee and tea, a closet room, and a large bathroom with a door that leads to a spacious, private, luxurious, solar-heated outdoor shower. We also had a private palapa with hammocks and rocking chairs. Outside our fence, down the trail was a larger shared space with more hammocks and rockers that was also the main gathering place/dining room/performance space. The staff is nearly invisible, but always there when you need them, smiling and helpful, serving food and drinks. The food was outstanding, featuring local vegetables, fruit smoothies and juices. The resort is not directly on the beach, but a short, bird-watching boat ride from the beach. Canoes and kayaks are available for exploration of the river estuary and trips to the beach. Daily yoga was included in our package and was not to be missed. Three days of the week we were at the studio on Popoyo beach where we could listen to the waves and gaze at the horizon. The beach is huge, beautiful, and empty. The lovely yoga studio at Equilibrio was a large palapa with a wood floor and mosquito netting all around that can be unfurled, if needed. Our teacher, Brook was wonderful, tailoring classes to our needs. We loved her classes and also managed to squeeze in some private sessions. Equilibrio is a treat, far away from the touristy parts, with nature all around and thoughtful service. Many thanks to James, Gabriela, and Brook for creating such a serene retreat experience and for the fantastic yoga. I hope to return soon.

Our adult family of four stayed in both the mango house and the jungle house. Both of these places are fabulous- beautiful jungle surroundings, areas to hang out and observe the beauty, all kinds of fruit to try, an on-site restaurant (try the jackfruit stew!), comfortable beds. The fact that this area has been mindfully reforested was what attracted us to this stay but the experience overall was amazing. We highly recommend!

I really enjoyed my stay a Bananas hospedaje. It's the perfect place if youre looking for a little tranquility. It's my favorite place in 9 months of traveling. Efraim and Guadalupe are very friendly and welcoming. Efraim is super helpful and knowledgeable about Ometepe. He was able to arrainge taxis, tours and pretty much whatever you need. They both go out of their way to help with whatever you need. The room was really comfortable and clean. The food is really good and at a really good price. Bananas is a really fun place to stay. In the evenings a flock of Magpies hop around the banana trees and right before dark hundreds of fireflies make the jungle sparkle. It's a five minute walk to the lake for swimming. I highly recommend checking it out for yourself. I hope to stay there again one day.

I went to Nicaragua looking for time in nature and a unique Airbnb experience. I found it! JC and Lisseth’s place is an amazing working farm with fruit trees, chickens and birds. Lots of birds! I was warmly welcomed and treated like to amazingly fresh and tasty food. I had a fabulous massage, helped with English class for local children and swam in the nearby lake. I absolutely loved my time with JC, Lisseth and their family. You should know that there are dirt paths that are kept very clean to reduce dust and mosquitos sometimes arrive at night and are easily controlled with bug spray. This is a unique place to stay amongst a lot of nature and very kind people.

Beautiful view of the lake. Great stay!

Great concept, you're surrounded by nature cabins are open air, lovely views to the lake and the sky from your bed. Hopefully the wifi issue is solved soon so that more people can enjoy this amazing site. Giancarlo and family were very accommodating (lovely people).

An excellent place, very quiet.

Jesus who was in charge of receiving us was very attentive and helpful, the place was perfect in every way, location, price, very clean and tidy. It is a place I would recommend since it is a balance between tranquility but in turn it is not far from all the attractions in the area.

The host was very helpful and responsive. Really pleased with how they handled us. We had a problem when we arrived because it was not mentioned you'll need a 4x4 car during heavy rains. There is a river close to the property that cannot be crossed with a normal car. The road is not paved all the way. The caretaker was very helpful and crossed us with their own truck, and arranged for one of our cars to be kept safely at someone near the river crossing. It stayed on the other side of the river during our entire stay, and was all good. The property holds true to it's name: "rustic". Don't expect luxury. It is has been build in true rustic style and is very nice for people who looks for this.

I HIGHLY recommend Eden! A perfect place to relax, meditate, eat and work! My hubby and I had a nice weekend getaway.

We had a really lovely stay here for 4 nights! It’s a very peaceful and serene place, the pool is lovely, having the kitchen is excellent and its very clean and well equipped. The staff were always friendly. We also loved having the pool table and darts board! Also close to the supermarket :)

Unbelievable Airbnb! It’s gorgeous the farm hands were extremely helpful. They shows us all the animals goats, baby donkeys, turkeys, dogs, cats, and parrots! We made homemade pizza dough hector cooked them in the authentic wood fire oven on the property. Berto helped us pick wild fruits from the trees and they had their own coffee!!! We made dinner from veggies in the garden. The rooms were perfectly cold at night. We were in awe honestly with everything. Normally we get to an Airbnb and go explore the area but this time we just wanted to explore the farm and didn’t want to leave it was awesome!! 100/10

I stayed one week with this amazing family. Definately a rustic authentic experience off the beaten path, and that's exactly what I wanted. During my stay I took advantage of the services offered, including a guided hike up the volcano.I learned all about the fruit trees on the property. I also booked a combo massage, cupping, acupunture trearment that put me out of this world ♥️ Lisseth's cooking chef quality delicious 😋 JC helped me with tourist info and getting around 😃 In addition I got to meet and play games with the kids attending English classes on site. Super Fun and welcoming stay. I can't say enough good things. This family will be forever in my heart.
