Apothefinca

Apothefinca is more than a place.

It is the landscape where The Home Tree came into being.

Apothefinca has become Lucy’s home and her creative place. It is a medicine arts farm, rich in fruit and precious hardwood trees, botanical gardens and always a place where life is lived in harmony with the rhythms of the natural world in Southern Nicaragua. It is a place where writing, nature and attentive living meet.

This is where we write.

This is where ideas are allowed to grow slowly.

And this is where Lucy invite’s others to do the same.

Throughout the year Lucy hosts intimate writing and creative retreats for people who long to step away from the noise of everyday life and reconnect with their own voice. You don't need to be a professional writer. Many guests come simply because they feel the desire to reflect, write, notice, and spend time in a place that invites a different pace.

Days unfold gently through writing sessions, time in nature, shared meals, conversation, quiet moments beneath the trees, and the spaciousness that creativity so often requires.

If The Home Tree is an invitation to remember what it means to come home, Apothefinca is a place where that invitation can be lived.

Will you join Lucy beneath the trees?

Here’s what guests say about Apothefinca:

“It’s such an incredible place and I can feel the magic of it every time I visit.” - Candace Cooke, Yogi-Mother-Realtor from Calgary, Canada

“Apothefinca is a little slice of heaven. Lucy has created a unique idyll from the ground up; the guesthouse itself is perfectly appointed, nestled in gardens that abound with medicinal, nourishing plants which Lucy is more than happy to share. Despite the tranquil, off-the-beaten-track vibe of Apothefinca, by the time our second night was complete, we had enjoyed pedicures, massages on Lucy's stunning yoga deck, and a night of guitar and song - all arranged by our host herself; nothing was too much trouble. Apothefinca is paradise found!” - Polly Beynon, Yogi & Mom, Derbyshire, UK

“We loved our stay at Apothefinca! The land is very special and Lucy did a great job landscaping and has a beautiful organic vegetable and herb garden. The workers on the farm are super friendly and you can ask them anything about the garden and they will happily share their knowledge with a big smile. The house is a beautifully designed and is very comfortable and spacious. Fully equipped kitchen and Lucy left some goodies from the farm in our fridge upon our arrival. We had organic eggs almost every day, kale, arugula, lettuce, tomatoes, basil, mangos, watermelon, lemons and more.” - Jorge & Christina, Yogis & Digital Nomads from San Diego, USA & Venezuela
