This is such a gorgeous hotel - every aspect of our stay was beautifully appointed (rooms, courtyard, breakfast areas) and the staff were just lovely. It’s also super centrally located close & walkable to the major sites and, but you don’t step out into anything touristy. The breakfast was spectacular too

A beautifully maintained traditional hotel. The room was spacious, it was very peaceful and had a lovely fragrance from all the lovely fresh flowers. The location was excellent. They lit candles in the courtyard in the evening which was delightful. The staff at the hotel were excellent. Professional and very helpful.

I adore this hotel !! The feeling is I’m in someone’s luxury home. With southern Spain sensible design, the courtyard is my dream garden. Unfortunately I didn’t have chance to have breakfast during my stay because of my schedule.

This boutique hotel was a beautiful, quiet little sanctuary in the heart of Antigua. The location couldn’t be any better considering you are right next to the Santa Catalina Arch and walking distance from everything you would need. From the staff to the owner of the hotel, everyone was so nice and helpful and gave great recommendations in the area. It’s also super helpful that they can organize private shuttles to and from the airport along with going to Lake Atitlan for an extra charge. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to anyone coming to Antigua for a couple days.
