Built by renowned Guatemalan architects for your host's family, this Spanish-style home is one-of-a-kind. The home is filled with sentimental touches and craftsman details – including orchid arrangements straight from the garden, Mayan textiles, and showers flanked by tropical plants. We love the private pool, where you can admire the views of the volcano. After a dip, make a beeline to the covered patio by the rose garden for a delicious alfresco meal. With a friendly gardener, housekeeper, house manager, and driver all available to assist you, this place has a carefree stay written all over it. Antigua, the historic UNESCO World Heritage site, is just a 17-minute drive away.
