Reasons to Stay at La Villa de Soledad

Following is a list of what we consider a few of the reasons to stay at La Villa de Soledad. They are not arranged in any particular order, and many of them reflect our core values as a family run bed and breakfast.

1.- Safe, Family Atmosphere

Safety is always a concern when you are away from home. You want to get to know new places, experience new adventures, learn new things and see life through a different lens, but you certainly don’t want any serious risks involved. At La Villa de Soledad you will find an oasis of safety that will help you relax and enjoy to the max. Knowing that you are staying with a family makes you feel like you are a part of a family, where you are meant to be. When traveling abroad, staying at a place where you have a feeling of belonging makes your stay so much more pleasant! Safety is certainly one of the better reasons to stay at La Villa de Soledad.

2.- Great Wi Fi

Our location is relatively remote, and being in Central America, you will find that wi fi is not readily available just anywhere. That is why having access to fast wi fi is a true luxury. At La Villa de Soledad B&B you will enjoy feeling in a remote location and yet having fast access to wi fi. Hi speed internet access should not be a luxury in this day and age, and at La Villa de Soledad B&B we offer it on a complimentary basis to all of our guests. We are hooked up to a fiber optic cable, so our internet is fast and consistent!

3.- Direct access to two national parks.

Located right between two National Parks, La Villa de Soledad B&B offers direct, walking access to both, Pico Bonito National Park and Nombre de Dios National Park. This is tropical rain forest territory at its best! Trails to both parks are easily accessible from your comfortable rooms. Exthe trails, hike to hidden waterfalls, go in search of that elusive bird you need to checklist or simply relax in your hammock and enjoy the forest from the comfort of our spacious, cool verandahs! Accessibility to two national parks is certainly of of the reasons to stay at La Villa de Soledad!

4.-Adventure activities available at your doorstep

We are all adventurers to a certain degree, but lets face it, if you have traveled to Central America, your adventure strain is stronger than most. Fortunately, you will find several different adventure activities that you can truly enjoy while staying at La Villa de Soledad. World Class white water rafting, zip line canopy tours and rappelling down waterfalls are all available within walking distance of La Villa de Soledad. Certainly good reasons to stay at La Villa de Soledad!

5.- Nature activities available at your doorstep.

If you are considering visiting Honduras and the Cangrejal River Valley, there is no doubt that you are looking for nature. There are few places that are better suited for vacations in nature than the Cangrejal River Valley. Being right in between two national parks means you can choose from a variety of trails, hike up to waterfalls hidden in the tropical rain forests and have a great birding experience!

6.- The perfect atmosphere to relax in nature and reconnect with your soul.

Sometimes, what we really need is a chance to disconnect with the world and re connect with ourselves. You need some peace and quiet, some tranquility… You need to listen to the sounds of nature and simply not be bothered.  There are few places as perfect as La Villa de Soledad to simply relax in nature and reconnect with yourself. Come and see it for yourself. However, I must warn you, you may not want to leave! This has to be one of the most important reasons to stay at La Villa de Soledad!

7.- Great home cooked meals

One of the great pleasures of traveling is tasting different foods. Soledad, the innkeeper is a friendly soul with a great cuisine. Her food regularly gets raving reviews from her guests. Come and taste authentic Honduran, Mexican and international cuisine at La Villa de Soledad. The only complaint we have gotten about our food is that we serve portions that some guests feel are too big! As we say in Spanish: “barriga llena corazon content” (Full tummy equals a happy heart)

8.- Fantastic opportunity to learn more about the different options for travel within Honduras and Nicaragua.

20 plus years of traveling and writing about destinations in Honduras and Nicaragua have given me a unique knowledge based on experience. I have visited most all of Honduras and a lot of Nicaragua, and can provide candid information regarding just about anything that has to do with traveling in this part of the World. Best of all, this information is all free to our guests!

9.- Perfect climate

The temperature is always pleasant at La Villa de Soledad. You will never find it to be excessively hot or cold. Even on the hottest days of summer, the temperature is at least 2 degrees centigrade cooler that it is in town. This is because we are located higher than the city and we have a microclimate due to the tropical rain forests that surround us. The fact that the Cangrejal River flows right in front of our property also helps. We do not even have air conditioning in our rooms because truly, it is not needed.

10.- Perfect location, remote, yet so close.

They say that it is all about location, location, location. For those that believe this is true, then La Villa de Soledad B&B is absolutely perfect! Located in a forested area deep in the Nombre de Dios Mountains, and yet only 9 km from La Ceiba. Here the bustling sounds of civilization have been replaced with the murmur of the Cangrejal River flowing inexorably towards the Caribbean Sea, the chirping and singing of tropical birds and the general sounds of the rainforest. Talk about an easy to reach paradise! Yes it truly is all about location!

11.- Eco friendly environment

We are located in a protected area, and therefore the least you would expect is a project that has been conceived as sustainable. At La Villa de Soledad we have designed our bed and breakfast to take the maximum advantage of nature. Our cathedral ceilings with heat insulated roofs and cross ventilation in the bedrooms provides for cool and comfortable sleeping. All of our lighting fixtures use energy saving light bulbs, and we separate our gray waters from the sewage and recycle the gray waters to water our gardens. We also separate our garbage and recycle all of our organic trash and take our plastics and cans into a recycling facility in La Ceiba.  We believe in sustainability and strive to be sustainable.

12.- Plenty of water, both, hot and cold.

I know that I am going against what I just said, but after a good strenuous hike through the rain forest you have worked up a good sweat, and are in need for a serious shower… Our showers offer the luxury of abundant water with a great water pressure. Water, hot and cold is plentiful and you will feel like you just had a shower that truly cleansed and soothed your body. Nothing like feeling squeaky clean after a bath, and you will find that our generous supply of water truly contributes to this delightful feeling!
