Why Antonio Woo chose Nicaragua
Casa Cascada is a beautifully maintained home with a combination of colonial and modern design. A bright, spacious and airy home with 3 large private bedrooms, each with their own, modern, 3 piece bathroom. Casa Cascada offers a lovely large patio area with a pool, gardens, and a cascading waterfall for your relaxation and enjoyment. It is equally beautiful at night, transformed into a magical lit haven where you can lounge underneath the stars and be soothed by the trickling sound of the waterfall.
What makes this house unique
We fell in love with this property form the moment we walked inside! Casa Cascada has a certain "feng shui", with a very airy and open feeling throughout. The brightness from one end to the other is wonderful by day, and by night, the peaceful feeling you get from the sound of the waterfall and the beautiful lighting is equally wonderful. We also love that this home offers a combination of colonial and modern elements which makes it so unique!
Guestbook comments from the manager
A First-Class experience from initial contact with Antonio, check-in/out with Yerica, and of course the stay. Loved the place! Super easy walk to all Granada offers, and a GREAT secure parking garage (which I utilized) only a block or so away on the same street.

Nice property, good location. But beware.
This a a very nice property in a good location in Granada. We enjoyed staying there.
I have stayed in Nicaragua before and noticed that this property did not offer housekeeping or breakfast (both are usually part of a stay in Granada) and had a strict cancellation policy and asked for a damage deposit. Those things are rather uncommon for the area, but I agreed. I did get a vibe about it especially when I checked in and had to complete a checklist of the condition of everything in the house. The house itself is great and set up with everything you need.
Each of the bedrooms are opened with a key. The doorknobs are levers. Push down they open. Except one. We struggled with opening the door and I was about to call for help with it when I realized it opened just fine if you push up.Before we checked out I made sure all dishes were washed and put away, tables wiped down, trash taken care of, towels gathered and put near washer, etc. When the housekeeper came back to check me out, she walked around checking everything while on the phone with the owner. When she hung up she asked what happened to the door. First I was confused then realized she was talking about the doorknob. I showed her that it worked fine by pushing up. She said ok and let me go.
When I received notification of a return of my deposit, they charged me $85 to replace door knob and another $90 to replace towels and sheets. ( My young teenaged daughter had gotten her period and said there was a spot on the sheets the size of a dime.) I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary when I gathered the towels at the end of the stay so I don't know what that was about.
My advice is that if you stay here, be very very careful ...actually I was careful as I always am with other people's property. This is the only time in my life of extensive traveling that I did not receive a full refund of a damage deposit.
Un sitio maravilloso
Tuvimos un muy buen tiempo. El lugar es muy hermoso. Bastante tranquilo y con mucha privacidad. Es un sitio muy seguro. La casa es muy acogedora y cuenta con todas las comodidades y espacios para pasar unas hermosas vacaciones.
Granada, una ciudad colonial muy bonita y con muchos lugares para pasarla bien.
Felices de tener esta oportunidad. Excelente ubicación.
Very unique
The home was really different to what we are used to in Canada. It was a welcomed surprise. The dipping pool was a welcomed treat in the hot afternoon heat. The in side courtyard is what makes this house. A/C in bedrooms was good. Kitchen was well equipped. Excellent home for touring Granada. Nothing is more than a few blocks away.
Granada with my wife and kids!
My wife and I and our young children really enjoyed this home. The covered courtyard area/breezeway between the front of the home and the bedrooms in the back was especially nice for relaxing and staying cool. We are typically a bit nervous about pools with our young children, but the location of it, tucked away to the side, was a non-issue. The kitchen was well suited for all we needed to prepare meals and store food. After we went through our first 5 gallons of water, already provided, ordering a 2nd was very simple from the Alpina store at the corner, half a block away. Each bedroom had air conditioning its own bathroom which was really nice. All of the furniture and decorations were well made and very nice. I can't imagine there being a better location in Granada to stay. We were directly between the lake and central park, but not too close to either. Calle Calzada was just one block south, which is where many restaurants and touristy stuff is located. Our friend that lives in Granada introduced us to her favorite gallo pinto in town, sold in front of a restaurant on El Martirio (go half a block towards the park and take a left at El Martirio, it's on the left - bags of gallo pinto for 15 cordobas). For U.S. type eats, the Garden Cafe was great and only a couple blocks away. I definitely recommend the horse drawn carriage tours of the city. A whole hour with the fam cost a whopping 20 bucks. Lastly, we felt very safe here. We even walked through the market with all our kids in tow with no problem. Picked us some local delicious fruits, so much better that home! We had a great trip and I'll definitely be recommending this place to any other friends or family visiting with my friend that lives in Granada. Thank you Antonio and Ann for hosting us and Rafaela for graciously welcoming us and taking care of us!
One does have to remember it's Nicaragua, not San Diego...
If this meets your needs, the house more than met ours.
Location is perfect, hosts can't do enough, and the pool really felt good with a cold Tona in hand.
Showers were a bit of a challenge.
Good house, good location
We were a family of 5 (mom, dad, teenager, two 20 somethings). Granada was the second part of our trip, after a stay at the beach in northern Nicaragua. Walking into this house is quite a pleasant surprise, because from the outside it looks so simple...but inside is quite nice...beautiful kitchen and eating area, and then a wonderful courtyard with a cooling pool (everyone loved this), and 3 private bedrooms (each with its own bathroom/shower). The bedrooms have air conditioning, which was really useful at night. We had no problems with the house. The location is very good...you are a block away from the main strip, where there are many restaurants and tour operators. It is a 5 minute walk down to the central park, with the church and many shops. We were able to walk to the bigger grocery store (La Union) in about 20 minutes. Granada is very beautiful, and great for day trips (seeing Masaya volcano at night was incredible!). Very happy we made this trip and that we stayed in this house.
