Many people say that La Antigua is the most beautiful city in Central America. Others call it the loveliest Spanish Colonial town in the world. In the heart of this legendary town is this beautiful colonial villa with five elegant suites, each with a large private bath. Every suite has a wood burning fireplace. 
 

ANTIGUA A WELL-KEPT SECRET

Over 200 years ago, when Guatemala extended from the lower part of Mexico to Costa Rica, Antigua was its capital. Antigua was one of the three major centers of power in the New World along with Lima, Peru and Mexico City, Mexico. On July 29, 1773, time stopped in Antigua. On that day a devastating earthquake destroyed the city.

Its cobblestone streets stand today as they were in 1773 as a monument to man's dogged determination. This city, miraculously restored, contains some of the finest examples of Spanish Colonial art and architecture in the Americas: cathedrals, convents, plazas and residences from the 16th and 17th centuries. Antigua, included in UNESCO's World Heritage List in 1979, was one of the first planned colonial cities in the New World.

There are beautiful restaurants, art galleries, lively bars, a theater and library. A multicultural, multilingual pueblo, Antigua is also an authentic working Guatemalan town. All of Guatemala is a naturalist's paradise.
