Description from the owner
La Casa Colibri 'The Hummingbird House' was designed to take in the lake views from every room in the house, cascading down the mountainside with huge amounts of glass framing in the panoramic views of Lake Atitlan and surrounding, perfectly cone-shaped volcanoes.
At approximately 5200 feet above sea level, the Lake Atitlan area enjoys year-round spring-like weather (70s to low 80s during the day and 60s at night). Although temperatures remain relatively constant throughout the year the weather is marked by two distinctive seasons: the rainy season (May to October) and the dry season (November to April). During the rainy season the ...mountains and volcanoes surrounding the lake are verdant green. The mornings are generally crystal clear, while the afternoons bring spectacular showers that are a sight to behold as they roll in over the lake. During the dry season it is rare to receive any precipitation at all.
La Casa Colibri has five luxurious guest rooms each with en-suite bath. Four rooms have spacious balconies overlooking the lake. Two rooms have deep soak tubs with separate showers. The house can accommodate up to 12 people comfortably. Beds can be arranged in the following formats:
1) Bedroom One: Two twin beds or one king-size bed
2) Bedroom Two (Master): one king-size bed
3) Bedroom Three: One queen-size bed (plus sleeping loft which can sleep two people)
4) Bedroom Four: Two twin beds or one king-size bed
5) Bedroom Five: One queen-size bed

I fell in love with La Casa Colibri and I am already planning my next trip back. David the manager was on call 24-7 to answer any questions, recommend excursions, set up transportation and make sure all our needs were met. Angela the cook made you want to stay at the house and eat every meal there. The maid folded my dirty clothes if I left them out. I wanted to try everything there was to offer. The sauna, pool, ping-pong, the sunken bathtub in the master, hammocks, outdoor fireplace and of course the breathtaking views. Casa Colibri makes me feel like Royalty!!
We have travelled extensively and this was certainly the best stay we have ever experienced. From the excellent host, David, to the superb cook, Angela, we discovered a wealth of hospitality. The villa, with its luxury accomodations, exceeded every expectation. Waking up to the view across Lake atitlan and seeing the volcanoes will always be among our fondest memories. There are many species of birds that visit the property (with literally hundreds more in the bird sanctuary located near the lake). We fell in love with the local people, descended from the Mayans. This was our first visit to Guatemala and we can't wait to get back. We will return to La Casa Colibri in January, 2012 to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary.
It was a great place to relax, lots of options for daytrips.

Amazing panoramic views of the lake and surrounding mountains from every room in the house; even the shower! The rooftop deck and hammocks were an ideal place to sip local coffee and plan your trip for the day, or to watch the sunset and unwind from the day's adventures.
I cannot say enough about our experience in this rental on Lake atitlan. It is by far the best location on the lake with gorgeous sunsets, amazing accommodations and an extremely knowledgeable owner that goes above and beyond to make your stay memorable and EZ. I would go back in a minute with friends or family.
