Casa Encantada - Antigua, Guatemala

Rooms & Suites: 10

A traditional timber and iron door opens from the cobblestone streets of Antigua to welcome you into a private garden courtyard complete with pool which leads to the intimate reception and main salon.

This hotel has a real home from home feel with open fires and cozy armchairs and the owners' loving touch is epitomized by the hundreds of candles they light every evening. The salon, suite and guest rooms are Antiguan in decor featuring a collection of framed historic huipils adorning the walls and romantic flickering candles throughout during the evening. This comfortable and residential atmosphere lends itself perfectly to enjoying a glass of wine or cappuccino by the fireplace. Just under an hour from Guatemala City, Antigua is often the first stop on your itinerary in Guatemala and a wonderful introduction to Guatemala and Central America. This colonial gem is full of character and offers great shopping as well as a lively cafe scene. If you're feeling active, there are volcano hikes or bike rides in the surrounding mountains.
