Stay in one of the finest and most luxurious villas on Lake Atitlan! Private and secluded waterfront property with a spectacular view of three volcanoes but just a ten minute walk from the bustling village of San Marcos. Amenities include the only heated pool available on the rental market along with lush botanical gardens, a spacious waterfront deck and private pier with swimming ladder, large hot tub with adjacent outdoor fireplace and lounging area, multiple terraces, and three floors of spacious living verandas overlooking the Lake and spanning the length of the house. The house itself is very well appointed with fine Guatemalan antiques and outstanding examples of local ceramics, textiles, crafts, and an exceptional art collection throughout including works by Palma, Guillermo, and Maldonado amoung others. Plush towels abound and high thread count bedsheets complement high quality mattresses, multiple pillows, and fine bed linens. Wifi throughout the house and extending to patio and pool areas, satellite DIRECTV with U.S. stations, and a fully equipped kitchen ( and we mean "fully" including spices and many condiments), and twice weekly house cleaning with optional laundry services available round out the house amenities. AND we offer full CONCIERGE SERVICES- transfers to and from the airport in Guatemala City or Antigua and the house, chef services, food shopping services, on site massage, on site language lessons, private daily boat rental, and the booking of a variety of activities around the Lake ranging from volcano climbing to horse back riding to paragliding. We may not be the cheapest alternative around the Lake but there is a reason for that. This house has everything and is designed for relaxation and comfort. Why not the best? |

Comfortable fabulous grand house full of antiques and a stunning view from every room. Delightful pool and gardens. The private dock turned out to invaluable using public boats to get home from destinations around the lake. The staff are all gems. Sweetest Mayan people and so attentive to our every whim. One of the best months stay anywhere in the world ever for us. Ma kee Osh = (Thank you in Mayan)
From the moment we arrived, we knew we were in the best possible place on the Lake. A short walk from the village of San Marcos, yet totally private, this home is more than special. Edgar, Felipe, and Antonio made sure all our needs were met. We will, most certainly return. Thank you, Blaine and Stephanie, for sharing your wonderful home.
Pictures cannot fully communicate the beauty of this place! Our family (two adults, four kids ages 14-7) stayed here for five nights over Thanksgiving week and absolutely adored it. We loved relaxing on the verandas in the hammocks, soaking in the hot tub/swimming in the beautiful infinity edge pool, Antonio cut our very own stalk of fresh bananas from the tree, Edgar was always attentive to meet the lancha (boat) when it dropped us off at night (all of the boat captains are familiar with "Casa Blanca"), and we were beyond impressed with the lush gardens. For activities, we spent a few days in Panajachel (the Ultra X-Treme zipline at Reserva Atitlan and paragliding with Real World - do it!) and Andrea (prop manager) arranged a coffee tour for us with Flavio which was incredibly interesting. Getting to the property is NOT an easy feat - we rented an SUV at the GUA airport and driving on the road down the mountain to get to San Marcos la Laguna was quite the adventure. There are some hairy switchbacks, and the road is filled with potholes. On the morning we left, the road was completely shut down (thankfully, there are workers trying to improve the road) but we had to take a different route back to Antigua.
WOW, WOW WOW! OUR EXPECTATIONS WERE FAR EXCEEDED WITH THIS HOUSE, IT IS SIMPLY GORGEOUS, THE VIEWS ARE INCREDIBLE, AND THE STAFF ON SITE WERE SO KIND AND WONDERFUL. HAVING A HEATED POOL AND HOT TUB WAS A SUPER PLUS AS IT DID GET COLDER AT NIGHT, THE PROPERTY MANAGER ON SITE ALWAYS EAGER TO PLEASE. ANYTHING WE NEEDED...A CALL TO THE TUK TUK FOR A RIDE INTO TOWN, OR TAKING THE POOL COVER OFF, HEATING THE SPA, ETC. THE FURNISHINGS AND DECOR ARE GORGEOUS IN THIS HOUSE. WE SIMPLY HAD AN AMAZING VACATION, WE DID TRAVEL TO MOST OF ALL THE OTHER VILLAGES, AND SAN MARCOS WAS OUR FAVORITE, AND I AM 100% SURE I CHOSE THE BEST HOUSE ON THE LAKE!!!
