Located at the top of a pedestrian-only street in the oldest colonial city in Nicaragua, this lovingly-restored villa dates back to the 1750s and will transport you to days gone by\u2014but with all the luxurious amenities of the present.<\/p>\n

No detail has been overlooked in the house\u2019s two-year restoration, with careful attention paid to preserving the home\u2019s original architectural details. Inside, the soaring ceilings lend an airy feel to the 6,000-square-foot living quarters, and the wrought-iron chandeliers and grilles cast elegant shadows across the home\u2019s charmingly-patterned floors.<\/p>\n

Outdoors, the greenery-filled courtyard forms a natural centre of activity. Recline in your hammock and listen to the gentle play of fountains into your 40-foot pool, or enjoy a quiet cup of local organic coffee and a top-quality cigar from your seat in the shade of a private patio. Minutes from your door, Granada\u2019s famous cathedral and the waters of Lake Nicaragua await.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Oceanfront Masterpiece, Cayman Islands<\/h2>\n

Time goes slower at Casa Coyaba<\/a>, a secluded estate in the sunny Cayman Islands. With eight bedrooms, 18,000 square feet of living space, and a four-car garage, you and your guests will have plenty of room to relax and unwind. Take your breakfast in the light-filled nook, then hit the private oceanfront tennis courts for a match or two. Cool off in the glorious infinity pool overlooking the jewel-tone waters of the Caribbean Sea, or opt to play in the waves instead: the steps from the pool deck descend to over 200 feet of white sand beaches.<\/p>\n

In the evening, cook up a gourmet meal in one of the two professionally-appointed chef\u2019s kitchens, then sip on pi\u00f1a coladas under the rustling canopy of your outdoor bar as the sun sinks over the horizon. After dark, watch the latest action movie from the comfort of your home theatre, and fall asleep under a blanket of stars while the sea laps gently outside your windows.<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re ready for a break from the stresses of work or a reprieve from the chilly Canadian weather, a tropical vacation property is truly an ideal spot to get away from it all.<\/p>\n
