Family hotels and homes in Estelí

It is a wonderful hidden place in the middle of nature. Gilbert was the perfect host. Although there isn’t a pool or sea close by, also our children found it the best place we visited so far in Nicaragua. It’s a quiet and comfortable location and Gilbert prepares excellent food for the complete family. His neighbour, a farmer, is also very willing to take you on a trip around the area. I would recommend this country house to everyone.

Location, food, host and family

Hostal Mariela is a cozy family run hostel, located close to Cortan Norte bus station in Esteli. Cotran Sur is a walkable distance too; or a super quick and cheap shared taxi ride away. The location worked perfect for me, as I planned to take buses to nearby locations such as Miraflor, Estanzuela etc. It is close to supermarket and local shops, so you can buy fresh produce for your meals. The rooms are clean and comfortable; kitchen is clean and well equipped. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here. Super convenient.

Family was so kind and welcoming. Room was big and clean, farm is gorgeous and area is great for walks and hikes. Tons of birds around the farm. Food and coffee was great, spent 5 nights here and plan to return!

Very nice hosts. They make you feel like in a family and they drove us to the bus terminal. Very clean and we could use the kitchen. They also sell delicious pizza in the evening. The rooms are good and you have a balcony to chill.

Idyllic location in the clouds, with good walks and waterfall nearby. Lovely family. Dailen speaks good English. All food and drink is grown on the farm. Hummingbirds outside the bedroom window. Comfy bed with mossie net.

The room was very big! Lots of living space and the bathroom was big too. Very clean and the host Alex was super friendly. My family and I would stay again and again when in Esteli

everything: the family project ( and their environment vision), the warm welcome, great room ( so quiet) super Good food, a lot of tips, tons of colibris :)
