  We went to Finca Musica back in January 2018 and had a nice time despite the very cool and windy weather up on this beautiful mountain.
  This was our 2nd stop of our tour in the wonderful country of Nicaragua. (We also stayed in Managua, the main city of Matagalpa, and Granada.)
  Pete was very accommodating and helpful.
  The food was freshly prepared and conversation at the table was fun and interesting.
  The room that we stayed in was very spacious and actually had hot water from Solar energy. The water pressure was fair considering most of the other places we stayed at previously had little to no water pressure ( a precious commodity in Nicaragua )
  We loved walking on the beautiful trail winding through the coffee plantation around the premises - very peaceful and chill.
  It was very cool to see mountain grown coffee close up!
  Pete also offers a guided coffee tour for a more comprehensive experience.
  We actually left early in our stay because it was a bit too cool weather wise and we already had a dose of cool windy weather at the Colibri Spanish school in Matagalpa (it was on a small mountain also) and headed to Granada for a blast of hot weather and a taste of the expat and high tourists section of the country.
  Pete was very understanding and supportive throughout the whole stay.
  We look forward to coming back to Finca Musica when we put Nicaragua on our trip list again!

  This was an incredible 5 night stay for so many reasons. Firstly, the welcome I received from Pete was warm and welcomingI immediately felt at home and knew that Pete wanted me to enjoy my holiday. Secondly, the location is breathtakingthe views, the plant life and the animal life are all incredible. Third, the food I enjoyed throughout my stay was delicious, thanks in the main to Freddy & Jo's creative flair but also due to the quality of organic, local ingredients that Pete has insisted on here. Finally, the showers are hot, the beds are comfortable and the soundtrack of the jungle is amazing to serenade you to sleep. Thank you - I would recommend this is a home from home in a very unique setting.

  Our experience at Pete’s place was great! The surroundings are beautiful, filled with coffee plants and jungle. The two volunteers running the kitchen prepared excellent vegetarian food and were able to cater to our diatery restrictions (dairy free and gluten free). Pete and the atmosphere he created was very chill and homely. He was a great host, extremely accomodating and very knowlegable about birds, coffee and the entire area! If you want to take your coffee knowledge to a whole other level he knows just the right guy!

  It's only been a few days and we already miss this place! Looking for something remote and beautiful, we found the perfect spot. The Finca is in an incredible location with the best views. Pete has put a lot of work in this place and it definitely paid off. It's very unique and beautiful. The room was really comfy and spacious, the veggie food was to die for and we were never bored. Hope we can stay again some time. Thanks for everything Pete!

  After a couple of weeks travelling through Panama and Costa Rica we arrived in the rural city of Leon Nicaragua. From there we took the public bus to Matagalpa where we were picked up by the 4x4.
  
  What an amazing place! We did and see so much during our trip and this place let us take it all in way better. We didn't do much but relax, read, talk and have delicious meals. Wauw! We still talk a lot about the great feeling and vibe this place gave us and ofcourse we tried to copy some of the recipes now that we're back home.
  
  I would absolutely recommend this place if you could use some days to relax, or reload after a trip or a long working period. I promise you 'll love it as long as you don't expect action and a lot things to do in the area. It is good to know that you are isolated from the city but ofcourse you can take hikes, play board games, get to know more about farming/coffee and watch some movies at night.
  
  We saw tucans fly over every day and there even was a wild cat in the area. Which was spotted by Pete but we just missed it.
  
  We stayed 3 nights and that was great, if we could do it again we probably would 've stayed 4.
  
  Thank you so much Pete and Anna! If we find ourselves ever back in Nicaragua we'll definitely revisit your beautiful place.

  Beautiful place and beautiful people! Good for relax, enjoy nature and eat healthy, delicious food. The rooms are comfortable and the spot to relax (inside and outside) are various and cosy. It was worth to stop in Matagalpa even just for this amazing place!

  An excellent place to stay. Sarah and Allan are super hosts and Sarah is also an excellent cook. You have a wonderful view over the organic farm and you can do a lot of tours. Sarah is also a yoga teacher, so you can also enjoy yoga lessons there. If you are in Matagalpa, this is the place to go.

  Amazing natural habitat in the mountains of Matagalpa, cute and comfortable room, lovely hosts and super super delicious food! This little charming eco-lodge is perfect for both relaxing and exploring around. Great hiking options and well-designed guided walking tours with the hosts.. So much to learn from them about permaculture, coffee or birds! Would love to come back soon to Pete and Anna's paradise.

  A hidden gem just outside of Matagalpa. We had a great time enjoying the mountain scenery, the fresh air, and amazing food. The accommodation is comfortable, clean and priced right. You will come for the view, but you will never want to leave after you taste Anna's amazing food. Pete is super passionate about coffee and permaculture, so his farm and/or coffee tours are a must.
  
  We stayed 2 nights, but wanted to stay for a week. The prices are very reasonable, and you definitely get great value for money for accommodations, food and also the tours.
  
  We would definitely stay there again in a heartbeat and wish we had never left.
  
  It is super easy to get there from Managua. If you have a car, head to Matagalpa. By public transport, head to the bus station Mayoreo, and hop on an Express Bus to Matagalpa, which will take about 2.5 hours. and Anna and Pete can pick you up to drive you up to their finca. It is about a 10 minute walk from the base of the road to their lodge.
  
  Great for a weekend getaway, or multiple days of relaxation!
