Company information

Hello, I am Laura, originally from Austria. I visited Gigante last year and fell in love with it and decided to stay here and put my love and energy in Casa Medusa. I am an visual artist, I love music, dance and surf. I am always happy to get to know new people and cultures. I am looking forward to seeing you enjoy the beautiful nature and grounded vibes of Gigante and will do my best to make your stay outstanding!

Property information

Casa Medusa is located in the middle of Gigante's lush nature. The house is surrounded by greenery and from the garden and terrace you have marvellous views of Playa Gigante and Playa Amarillo and even a direct access to Playa Amarillo from the house. The chirping of birds and the sounds of monkeys awaken you to a new day in Gigante, the cozy and welcoming fishing village on the Pacific coast of Nicaragua. The sound of the sea accompanies you 24 hours a day at Casa Medusa. Casa Medusa further provides filtered drinking water. Please note that the guesthose is located on a little hill and there is a short path up to the guesthouse which challenges the muscles just a few minutes to be rewarded with an amazing view and plenty of possibilities to relax as soon as you reach the hill :)
