Best Airbnb I've ever stayed at, in the most beautiful place I've ever been. Do yourself a favor and book this place. The host, Victor, goes so far above and beyond. The views will absolutely take your breath away. 10/10 would strongly recommend.
I visited Villas del Carmen for the first time in July 2023 and I've been back twice since - it's my favorite place in all of Central America! The location is magical, overlooking Lake Atitlán and surrounded by three volcanoes. The hot springs and salt water pool are rejuvenating, and the lush gardens are gorgeous. Victor and the team are exceptionally hospitable - thoughtful, helpful, and always going above and beyond. Whether you stay in the casita or the main house, you won't be disappointed. Each space is beautifully designed and well-appointed. I can't say enough good things about this property and I can't wait to visit again!
We had the most amazing stay! The beauty of this place is indescribable. The views are out of this world. Victor was just spectacular, anticipating our every need and making sure we were comfortable and happy at all times. An absolute magical experience I will never forget!
