Elegant Spanish Colonial Retreat

Summary:
Nestled within a discreet gated enclave between the majestic Agua and Fuego volcanoes, this exquisite Spanish colonial residence offers a rare blend of architectural elegance, cultural richness, and natural splendor. Located just minutes from the historic streets of Antigua—a UNESCO World Heritage Site—this home was masterfully designed by acclaimed architects Franklin Contreras and Charles Farrington as a sanctuary for refined living, seamless entertaining, and inspired relaxation.

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.

Guest Access:
Guests are granted exclusive access to the entire estate, including all indoor and outdoor living areas, gardens, courtyards, and the solar-heated pool. A full-time housekeeper and gardener ensure effortless living, while a dedicated English-speaking house manager provides personalized assistance throughout your stay. Daily breakfast is included.
Enhance your experience with bespoke services including private chef dinners, wellness treatments, cultural excursions, and simple in house meals. A bilingual driver is available for airport transfers and curated day trips to nearby landmarks, including Lake Atitlán and the Mayan ruins of Tikal.

The Neighborhood:
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.
