Description
Casa Tropical is located on a private gated street in what is called Tribal Village: an array of eclectic, one of a kind, luxury villas designed by the owners of Tribal Hotel, located just one block from the compound. Casa Tropical is the largest villa built to date: with four large kingsize bedrooms, four and a half baths, and a total surface of 5600 sq’ (520 sq meters), of which 3500 sq’ are on the ground and 2100 sq’ on the second floor.
Casa Tropical is a spacious villa with an open outdoor living plan and a large private pool that marries indoor and outdoor living seamlessly. Palm trees and lush tropical plants are planted into the ground throughout the inner courtyard, thus giving casa Tropical its eponymous name.
The house consists of three separate buildings that are connected on the second floor by a floating catwalk bridge. The three upstairs bedrooms and the ground floor bedroom look onto the tropical courtyard. The open air dining area is surrounded by lush gardens and an impressive 20 foot double height ceiling.
Casa Tropical The Details
Between the outdoor kitchen and living room, an oversized dining table for 10 guests sits. On the other side is the teak pergola, which can serve as another sitting area or as a covered remote workstation.
The courtyard is surrounded by lush mature plants, which really come alive with the warm night lighting throughout the gardens. The entire floor surfaces are tiled with locally made cement tiles that add a beautiful tropical patina to the pool area as well as the ground floor bedroom. The outdoor queen-size four-poster bed is made of solid teak and is a perfect spot for taking a little sun during the day or lounging with a glass of wine at night.
The furniture in the living room is a mix of locally made, handcrafted pieces and iconic mid-century modern chairs and lamps that were imported from the US. (The photograph is a film still from the seminal 1960 Antonioni film l’Avventura.) The sofa upholstery was made with a high end imported outdoor bouclé fabric; the beautiful vintage kilim comes from the Anatolia region of Turkey.
Above is the central courtyard with its outdoor bed, pool, and tropical plants. The house entrance is in the middle, between the kitchen area and the ground floor bedroom (behind the outdoor bed). A guest toilet is located in the entrance hallway.
Like in all the bedrooms, the spacious master bedroom has a built-in king-size bed and comes fully appointed with mattress, kilim rugs, and one set of linens. The cozy private terrasse overlooks the courtyard and has a beautiful view of the setting sun.
Casa Tropical is a truly unique house, unlike any other in Nicaragua or Central America. Its four bedrooms (3 upstairs and one on the ground floor) are fully air-conditioned and have each their own private bathroom with spacious showers.
Its location on a private gated compound makes it very private and safe, and the covered garage is a convenient and rare amenity in Granada. Tribal Village is located on a local residential street, about four blocks from the Central Square, home of the famous goldenyellow cathedral. The central pedestrian street La Calzada is three blocks away and most restaurants are also within walking distance.
