Located in the amazing town of Antigua Guatemala, our rooms are very private, clean and well lit. We have a couple of patios in the house and a fire pit in one of them. The house is located in a centric Antigua neighborhood that will allow you experience the local culture and life with amazing views of the volcanoes, surrounding mountains and a couple of little parks. Moving around in Antigua Guatemala is pretty simple, specially, when you are located in a centric place like ours. You can walk anywhere and go the opposite side of town within 20 minutes walking. There are many attractions outside of town and you could get local transportation, Uber, or, Guatemalan specials “TucTucs” (little three wheeled covered motos that serve like taxis). We don’t have our own parking space but we are located in a cul-de-sac or dead end street where you can find parking spaces on the street most of the time. Also, since we are in town, there are many options of parking places to choose from just 5 minutes (walking distance) away from the house.
Dear Guest, WELCOME to Casa ELA! We’re beyond excited to have you! This place is very special to us. Believe it or not, it's our home! We remodeled the space for travelers like yourself. It’s a great spot to discover the magical town from. And isn’t the neighborhood just lovely? We love the centric and convenient location, and we’re convinced that you will too. In this manual, you’ll find lots of useful information that we’ve compiled to help our guests make the most of their stay. From instructions on how to use the appliances to recommendations for nearby restaurants and shopping areas, we’ve got it all covered. We hope that you enjoy the place as much as we do. Have a great stay! Sincerely, Alvaro & Lupita
We are located in Antigua Guatemala. Main attractions like the Santa Catalina Arch Street, Central Park and La Merced Church are located 7 minutes away (walking distance). We are also near Cerro de La Cruz (7 minutes walking). Although shops and restaurants are only minutes away, the area feels peaceful and secluded. We have great wifi that works perfectly for any work meetings you might have or anything else you might need it for. We prepared a Guidebook of many awesome places to enjoy good coffee, snacks, dinners, breakfasts, co-working and have drinks enjoying the views of Antigua, to help you enjoy the experience. Event though we don’t have our own parking space, we are located in a cul-de-sac or dead end street where you can find parking spaces on the street most of the time. Also, since we are in town, there are many options of parking places to choose from just 5 minutes (walking distance) away from the house. Find us on IG as: @casaelaantigua
