About this house rental
Our family bought this colonial house in 1965 and has restored it over the last 50 years. The house, built in 1568, retains old world charm... The house is simply decorated in a Spanish/Guatemalan style.
La Casa del Sol is the former residence of the 16th century Governor of Guatemala. Built around a central courtyard garden, the house has the original cupola, dome ceiling and three-foot wide stone walls.
The house is located in the quiet northeast side of the colonial section of town. It is a short walk to central park and town center as well as restaurants and stores.
Master bedroom has a double bed, skylight and Colonial window. Second bedroom is equipped with 2 twin beds and fireplace. Third bedroom has a double bed and two single beds.
There are three bathrooms with hot showers. Small living room has satellite TV, and there is a large formal dining room. The house has wifi internet.
Self-catering with complete kitchen: gas stove, refrigerator, toaster, coffee maker, bottled water (included free of charge), dishes and cooking utensils. Eat breakfast outside under veranda in full sunlight.
Housekeeper and family live in separate house on premises available for cooking, laundry, housekeeping at additional cost. Nearby bakery for fresh sweet bread and hot hand made tortillas can be delivered daily. Practice your Spanish with friendly local housekeeping family.
Relax in a comfortable yet simple home. Tranquil, picturesque neighborhood, yet in center of colonial Antigua. No need for a car, everything within walking distance. Beautiful sunsets from rooftop terrace. Tropical plants and exotic bird watching from a sunny seat in the patio. Cozy fireplace for cool evenings. Restaurants of all categories nearby.

Staying at this property in Antigua felt like stepping into living history. Built in the 16th century, the home is beautifully preserved, with a lush courtyard that immediately draws you in. Despite its age and museum-like quality, it never feels cold or untouchable—quite the opposite. There’s a warmth and comfort here that makes it easy to settle in and feel at home.One of the highlights of our stay was Maria, the housekeeper, who lives onsite in her own casita at the back of the property. She is consistently kind, attentive, and genuinely helpful, adding a personal touch that elevates the entire experience.The second-generation owner has thoughtfully shared information about both the home’s history and the broader story of Antigua, which I found fascinating. It added an extra layer of appreciation for where we were staying and the cultural richness surrounding us.It’s not often I would say I felt privileged to stay somewhere, but that’s exactly how I felt here. Combined with an excellent location—within easy walking distance of just about everything in town—this property is a treasure. My wife and I hope to return one day when our children are older so they can experience this as well.

Our family, including two boys (10/12) had a wonderful stay. Enjoyed the house and outdoor patio and the lovely living space. Our favorite moment from Antigua was actually attending a soccer game, as it was about a 15-20 min walk from the house and was such a fun, and safe atmosphere. Definitely would come back again!

Mountainview is impressive but not the main asset of this historic property

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful 16th-century colonial house in central Antigua, Guatemala. The location couldn’t be better! Everything was within walking distance, making it easy to explore the city. The home itself was stunning, especially the open courtyard, which made the space feel peaceful and authentically colonial.Maria was incredibly helpful throughout our stay and made sure we had everything we needed. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Antigua!
