The place was perfect for our group of six—beautiful garden, wonderful views, and nice kitchen. Alfonso, the groundskeeper, was extremely helpful and responsive. We would absolutely recommend staying in this place!
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.
Our entire stay was nothing short of amazing!!! The host and groundskeeper were so pleasant and immediately make you feel welcomed. The apartment is gorgeous with direct views of the lake. There is a large garden filled with beautiful trees, plants, a pool and jacuzzi. Perfect location with lake access!!! We would 100% choose to stay at this property over and over again lol

Francesca is a great guest. She communicated with us and was patient and flexible with our team. We really enjoyed hosting her and her group. We welcome her anytime.
We loved Casa Verapaz. The caretaker Alfonso was great and communication with Julio was excellent. The views from the living area are truly breathtaking and accommodations are wonderful. Santa Catarina Palopó is a short walk down the hill and is a great little village. Our boys played soccer with the locals there and we bought fresh tortillas for breakfast. The tuk tuk ride to Pana was easy and affordable. If you are noise sensitive, know that the structure is shared so some noise does drift in from the other unit. There are also dogs on the property that intermittently bark during the night. But, we were overall very happy with our selection and would stay here again. I can’t imagine a more beautiful setting than Casa Verapaz and it is definitely worth 5 stars.
Allen was a great guest and we welcome them back anytime to Casa Verapaz.

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.
