Paradise

Everything about this property is amazing. The views, location, and garden are phenomenal and the photos don’t do it justice. Our host and groundskeeper were so amazing and we couldn’t have felt more welcome!! I would stay here 1000 times and recommend everyone else do so as well.

About the host

Hosted by Julio Herrera

Host profile image
I'm Julio, thrilled you're exploring my listings. Excited to unveil Lake Atitlan's wonders to you. A bit about me: Guatemala-born, I migrated to the US during the 80s, returning after 14 years. Guatemala and its captivating lake stole my heart from day one, leading to Casa Verapaz—a dream in the making.

Why they chose this property

Santa Catarina Palopó is a small village of 8,000 people. I love it's proximity to Panajachel, we are a 12 minute driving distance.

What makes this property unique

Our property has direct access to the lake and also to the road. Very accessible. I love the peacefulness of the village and the lush nature. We have birds signing outside all day long.
