Wow … wow… wow. We wanted to let you know what a truly fabulous stay we had at Villa Noche. The house is absolutely gorgeous – and the view is unbelievable!! We felt like celebrities for the week. Nothing beats waking up to that ocean view...not to mention enjoying delicious meals (especially fresh pina coladas - thanks to Armando, lobster, and homemade guacamole). We had planned on venturing out more but had a hard time leaving the villa. Definitely a trip we will never forget and will absolutely do again!
Thanks!

Sublime - the only word to describe a sunset viewed
from Villa Noche. Watching the sky paint itself pink
and orange as the sun drops away is the perfect end to
a laid back day on the waves or the start of a lively
night in SJdS.
There's not an uncomfortable spot in the place, and if
there were, the adorable Memo and Armando would
quickly see to it along with anything else you need to
make your stay even more incredible.
The food is delicious - holding its own with any
restaurant down the hill, and served with a view that
leaves every table in town envious.
Whether your plans for Nica are surf, fish, or chill -
Villa Noche is a once in a life time experience, best
repeated often.
Thank you for a lovely time.

Villa Noche is beyond awesome! The large open house, the beautiful pool, the relaxing Jacuzzi, the tropical landscaping, the Pacific Ocean view with the sound of the waves rolling in, the view of the quaint fishing village of San Juan del Sur with the boats anchored in the bay and the houses trailing up the mountain side, the colorful parrots and the macaw, Memo and all of the wonderful meals and Joey and the fishing trip on the Aquaholic ~ what a wonderful week we had!!!!!!
In addition to all the great meals Memo prepared, he was also a wonderful driver for our day trips to the historical city of Granada, the volcano and craft center of Massaya , the quaint floral center of Catarina, the beach at Playa Coco and the capitol city of Managua.
I could go on and on about sighting the huge turtles coming in to lay their eggs or Lake Nicaragua and the archipelago of hundreds of small islands or the beautiful old cathedrals, but you just need to go see it all for yourself.
Villa Noche is an unforgettable place. Thank you, Thank you!

My wife and I were lucky enough to arrange our honeymoon at Villa Noche. We arrived at night driving in the dark not knowing what to expect, when we arrived at the house it was AMAZING, cool sea breeze blowing through the warm night, incredible ocean views in nearly all directions, and the sounds of the ocean made this a perfect romantic getaway. It was so peaceful, a week of total relaxation.
Also the food was awesome, Memo prepared fresh fish, shrimp, and fruit, while my wife could eat less 'adventurous' food (chicken fingers, spagetti) The staff was so accomadating and helpful. I recommend this place to all because you can have a lazy hang out by the pool trip, or enjoy the nearby activities like surfing, fishing, and canopy tours. Fishing was terrific we caught fish till we couldn't reel them in anymore! It was an unforgettable trip for my wife and I, we are sure to visit again. We just want to thank the staff who made it so easy to relax, and Travis for helping arrange the trip of a lifetime. |

As winners of a charity auction, we had an opportunity to spend a week in
Nicaragua at Villa Noche. Enamored with
the lovely photos of the place, we did everything we could to win the auction.
The auction took place in spring of 2007. We didn't have a chance to go until
February 2008. Between the time we won the auction and the time we started
planning for the trip, the pictures of Villa Noche were long forgotten.
Instead, reading the government's website about traveling to Nicaragua,
particularly, travel warnings, filled us with trepidation. We don't believe in
living in a bubble, so we threw caution to the wind, packed our bags, and off we
went with our 12 and 13 year old kids.
The first thing that greeted us, was perfectly warm-hot temperature. Not humid,
not too hot. Coming from freezing New England winter weather, it felt perfect.
The drive from the airport to the house was quite an experience. Bumpy roads,
dodging slow-moving vehicles, people, dogs, etc. was nothing compared to the last half mile. Hair spin turns and steep
inclines, had us holding our breath; the price for staying in a home that sits
high up on a mountain with a view. We got used to it after a few trips to and
from town.
The best word to describe the home is, "comfortable." Spacious living areas,
breathtaking views, sunshine all around, super comfortable seats and hammocks
made it easy to relax and enjoy the moment.
Best word to describe the home's view is, "spectacular." Most rooms, all balconies and the swimming pool
swimming pool have a "post card" view of the Pacific ocean. We made every effort to
be in the pool each day to watch the sunset. It felt decadent to have the pool
and the sunsets to ourselves.
Best of all, we didn't have to lift a finger. Housekeeper cleans the home,
makes the bed daily and assists the chef. Grounds keeper cleans the pool and
opens and closes the gate as you drive to/from the home. And
jack-of-all-trades, Memo, did whatever we asked. Memo is a trained-chef who
prepared our meals with the help of the housekeeper. He also met us at the
airport and we followed him to the house. When we took a day trip to Granada
and volcano sightseeing, we had Memo drive us as we didn't know the area.
We also had an opportunity to go on a day trip on Villa Noche's boat. Very comfortable and enjoyable ride. Best of all, we didn't have to lift a finger!
Picnic lunch was already prepared for us. The worst thing we had to contend
with was sunburn!
We had a great time and a very relaxing vacation. Would recommend to our friends.

Our family just returned from Villa Noche yesterday. Still trying to readjust to real life but wanted to get a quick email off to you to express our delight and our gratitude for our wonderful and unforgettable stay!! Please pass this on to Travis.
Villa Noche and its staff was way beyond our expectations! The architecture and the views were amazing. Memo, Valeria and Flavio were so warm, gracious and attentive that we hated to say goodbye. The food was excellent! Our every need was met and then some! Please tell Travis that he is one lucky man to have found such a wonderful staff. Also tell him that his taste is excellent! The floor plan, decor and views are just marvelous.
We hope to be able to return. There can be no better place in San Juan Del Sur than Villa Noche. We feel so fortunate to have been able to stay there. Thank you again for all of your help and suggestions. Our stay was perfect!!
Best,
Nancy Reggiani and Family

I wanted to let you know what a wonderful time we had at Villa Noche. The property was perfect. The views, particularly the sunsets, from the house were absolutely stunning! The grounds were well kept and the infinity pool was incredible. Memo and Francisco were delightful and added a dimension to our trip that we wouldn't have known going it alone. The meals Memo prepared were delicious. Their care and attention was appreciated.
This vacation was the perfect combination of luxury and adventure. We enjoyed lounging by the pool and napping in the hammocks. We were amazed by the variety of creatures. Your parrots and the neighbors monkey were quite entertaining! Having gone horseback riding, scuba diving, fishing on the Aquaolic, BBQ on a private beach, a massage at the house- One week was not nearly enough!!
We will be back soon-- next time with our children.
Thank you again for sharing your home with us!

| The only thing wrong with my wife and I staying at the Villa Noche is that we had to eventually come back home! The view from each room was breathtaking, especially the bedroom, and the amenities were amazing. So many places deemed as "ultimate getaways" turn out to be overcrowded tourist traps. Villa Noche was exactly what we wanted- a romantic quiet place that gave us plenty of space to "be alone". We spent our days fishing and surfing and everynight we had drinks by the pool and watched the sunset. It was truly amazing! We'll definitely be back! Thanks again! |
