Overview of the house

The space

This thoughtfully curated home features four luxurious bedrooms and three beautifully appointed bathrooms, each opening to its own serene interior garden. The grand salon, with hand-carved double doors, flows effortlessly onto an expansive patio, where panoramic views of Agua volcano frame the perfect setting for al fresco dining amidst fragrant roses and the gentle sound of a private fountain. A recently renovated chef’s kitchen, accented with French sliding doors, opens to a second courtyard offering sweeping views of Acatenango and Agua. The solar-heated swimming pool is gracefully tucked into lush, manicured gardens—an oasis of tranquility and sustainability. Inside, the interiors celebrate Guatemala’s rich artistic heritage, adorned with handwoven Mayan textiles, curated local artworks, and fresh orchids arranged weekly from two dedicated orchid houses. Every detail reflects a harmonious balance between sophistication, cultural reverence, and comfort.

The neighbourhood

Just a short 15-minute drive from the heart of Antigua, the residence offers both peaceful seclusion and proximity to one of Latin America's most enchanting colonial cities. Antigua’s cobblestone streets, baroque architecture, world-class dining, and vibrant artisan markets provide endless opportunities for cultural discovery.
