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.

About the host

Hosted by Jon Jickling

Host profile image
We are a family of three generations, spread over the USA who travel to Antigua as often as possible to enjoy the perfect climate and friendly local Guatemalan people and to relax in our simple, comfortable home.

Why they chose this property

Antigua has a perfect climate, historic and ancient interests, a friendly diverse population of artists, expats, native Mayan people and young travelers. Casa del Sol is located in the colonial core close to the central plaza but in a quiet street away from the busiest part of town.

What makes this property unique

Hearing 16th century churchbells chiming the hours through the night, watching flocks of parrots squawking overhead, feeling the warm tropical sun and watching the dramatic sunset over three volcanoes.
