Walled Garden Apt ♥ of San Marcos @ 7 Volcanes

This private, secure, and comfortable first level apartment has a small kitchen with stove/oven and refrig, its own covered porch, and a view the Lake Atitlan volcanoes. The short 5 minute walk to town makes it easy for shopping, activities, and restaurants, but far enough for quiet nights. The doors and windows and kitchen for this apartment were hand built by me, having been a cabinetmaker in the states for 25 years. The matrimonial bed is provided with 100% cotton sheets, and the bathroom, with 24 hour hot water from a brass rain shower head, sufficient towels, and complimentary shampoo and soap for stays less than a week. There's also a single bed that serves as another couch during the day and to sleep a third person.

I stayed in this unit and another one on the same property for over a month and they are both so nice. A safe, clean, comfy, open and airy haven. Excellent bedding and fully stocked kitchen, and the best shower I have had in several months of travelling. It is quiet and super clean, and very safe and secure. Modern and luxurious are the two most important words I used when describing this rare gem.

Amazing, comfortable accommodations with beautiful views! We were so comfortable here. Enjoyed having a kitchen to cook breakfast after getting fresh eggs and fruit and avocados at the fruit stands each day. Plenty of hot water in the beautiful tile and stone bathroom and plenty of filtered water for drinking and cooking available too. Everything was so easy and made our stay virtually effortless. Close to town, the dock, and the yoga forest. Can't wait to come back. Thanks for making our first visit to guatemala so memorable!

Really Beautiful apartment, in a great location. So perfect for us as we were doing a month long yoga course, to have somewhere private to stay and cook for ourselves. Great Kitchen with every appliance you will need! comfy bed, The best part was the hot shower! good pressure and something we were very pleased with! Carlos is a great host, super friendly and if you need anything at all he is just an email/call away, very accommodating. The garden is also beautiful and a lovely place to hang out. The security here is also fantastic. completely walled around the property with a locked gated entrance so there really is a feeling of being totally safe here. Will definitely be recommending Carlos' place to friends and family! Thanks Carlos!

I loved my time at 7 Volcanes! Very comfortable and clean with all the conveniences. I can't say enough about Carlos he was so helpful before and during my stay. I especially enjoyed the lovely garden listening to the morning birds sing.

We stayed a total of 6 seeks at 7 Volcanoes and loved every minute of it. The apartment was very well constructed and maintained. Comfy accommodations that were walking distance to everything was perfect. The secure property was perfect for our black lab, Aspen, to be able to play fetch and lay about in the sun. Carlos was super helpful, even finding us secure parking for our truck nearby. His restaurant, Blind Lemons, offered up tasty dinners and we enjoyed many a fun evening watching movies on the big screen or listening to his Funk Blues. Highly recommended.

Set a five minute walk from the town, it is very quiet and secluded, ideal for a relaxing time. The property is in excellent condition and very clean.

we enjoyed our 2 week stay in San Marcus La Laguna, tremendously. The apartment is well designed, clean, quiet and contained all we needed for simple home cooking. Carlos, the owner is a masterful furniture builder, who also lives in the same compound and was always accessible for any questions or needs. We had some problems obtaining cash and his 'TAP' app was a true saver for us. San Marcus has no bank or ATM machine access. His restaurant "The Blind Lemon' serves excellent food, and Katarina his Guatemalan wife and her family are wonderful hosts. Carlos is also an accomplished old timey Blues player and entertained at the restaurant on Friday nights. The walk "downtown" is not too far, but at night a flashlight is needed. We hiked the back trails up hills and took the boats to the surrounding villages. Each one is different in its own unique way. The Mayan people at Lake Atitlan maintaining their culture and language, including weaving and other ancient skills and seem to be in harmony with alternative lifestyle seekers, travellers and tourists from all over the world.

What a find! 7 Volcanes is the best place to stay while visiting San Marcos La Laguna. The apartment and yard are absolutely beautiful and very well maintained. Your apartment has a kitchen, use of a private clothes washing machine and covered clothes line, filtered water, a fantastic shower with hot water, and WiFi. You will have a private porch with an amazing view! One of the things I most appreciated was the location and security of the property. 7 Volcanes is located in a gated property just a short walk up from San Marcos.You are just far enough to enjoy the calm and serenity of your environment, yet close enough to be in the centre of town in just a few minutes. Carlos, the owner, is very helpful and super laid back. Carlos sincerely wants you to have a great vacation. As I told Carlos, I will plan my next visit according to the availability of this property. I wouldn't stay anywhere else.

I had such a great stay in this host’s other property that I had to come back for more. This apartment is very similar to the one upstairs – same top-shelf workmanship, comfortable bed, reliable internet, piping hot shower, and the highest level of security you can get in San Marcos – with just a few minor differences. The front porch is a bit more open instead of being a balcony, and has more of a lush, garden feel. As always, Carlos is the best possible host and has both the big picture (well-designed compound, choice location, peace and quiet, helpful staff) and the small details down to an art. Just a a few examples of the latter, I mentioned to him that it would be nice to have a peg on the door to hang jackets, and within a few hours he had actually carved one up and stuck it on. When I suggested coasters, he whipped up some up out of gorgeous Talavera tiles the next day. This was a pattern that repeated constantly throughout my stay. Apart from that, he is a world-class blues musician, and hearing him make music in his restaurant or in the garden is just one other fantastic benefit of staying here. One other thing that I really enjoyed was meeting the interesting people who came and went over the weeks… every one of them was thrilled to be a part of 7 Volcanes and helped give the place a community feel without ever seeming too crowded. The location is idea, out of the bustle of town but just a few minutes walk from the center. Cannot recommend this place highly enough!
