Casa Blanca is the best located home in Granada. Situated at the top end of the "pedestrianized" Calle La Calzada the home is right next door to Granada's famous cathedral and just steps from the bustling central park.

The living areas are organized around the extensive corridors. The main corridor features an antique rocking chair and coffee table set comfortably laid out beneath a powerful ceiling fan. There is another more relaxed seating area situated the opposite end of the pool to the main dining area. The home has two classical colonial living rooms with doors directly into the pedestrian street Calle La Calzada. Casa Blanca is one of the stops on the tours of colonial villas.

== Bedrooms ==

The home features five bedrooms in the following arrangement

- Two double bedrooms each with a queen-size bed and en-suite bathroom. Each has AC

- One family suite which is two connected rooms; one has a queen bed and the other a two single beds. . The twin bed room in the family suite can double up as a TV room. NOTE: these rooms share one AC unit. For the two single beds to be cooled, the door connecting the two spaces has to be open.

- The fifth bedroom located beyond the kitchen on the ground floor is suitable for a live-in nanny or maid and has a single bed, private bathroom. This room has no AC but has an overhead fan.

== Fully Equipped and Beautifully Furnished ==

The home is thoroughly well furnished with exquisite furniture from the local manufacturer Simplamente Madera, who use only the very finest certified hard woods.

*** ELECTRIC POLICY - Most houses in Granada charge you separately for electricity. We don't. However electric costs in Nicaragua are EXTREMELY HIGH; greater than $.55 per KW hr (the highest in Central America and 5X the US average). 15% of your rental rate is applied towards payment of electrical usage. Your meter will be read upon check-in and check-out and any excess over 15% of your rent will be taken from your deposit. (For example: if you are paying $1,000.00 in rent, you have $150 in credit towards electricity. If the meter reads less than $150 used you owe nothing and receive your deposit back. If the meter reads $160 in electric costs, $10 would be taken from your deposit.) NOTE: if you simply use the air conditioning at night you should never go over the 15% and no we aren't going to ding you if you're over by $10.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host

Hosted by Guillermo Suescum

Host profile image
Our very first vacation together was to Granada and we both fell in love with the city and wanted to make a home for ourselves there. Our dream is that in a few years we can begin spending at least half the year in Granada, soaking up the culture, the sun and the warmth of the Nicaraguan people. We hope that when you come and stay in Casa Blanca you fall in love with Granada too.

Guillermo & Melanie
