Description
ANTIGUA RETREAT
Cobblestone streets lined with brightly coloured colonial buildings, a jacaranda-wreathed central plaza, 16th-century ruins and with volcanoes surrounding it. Few cities in Latin America can match Antigua Guatemala (usually referred to as just Antigua) for postcard prettiness. But this Unesco-listed city is about much more than surface-level charm and Instagram opportunities.
This quaint two bedroom property offers mountain views and is located about 10 km from Hobbitenango. The property is 2km from the Santa Catalina Arch and features a garden and free private parking.
The house features two comfortable bedrooms, a flat-screen cable TV, a large terrace, a dining area and a kitchen with a microwave and a fridge.
Cerro de la Cruz is 3.8km from the accommodation.
Thousands of visitors descend on Antigua for its famous Semana Santa celebrations over Easter, but this colonial gem is worth a visit at any time of year.
