Santiago Atitlan Villa | Exquisite Home - Volcano & Lake View on 10-Acre Garden Estate with pool

2 Bedroom Villa in Santiago Atitlan, Atitlan

Villa Eggedal is one of the largest and most luxurious estates around Lake Atitlan. Spectacular is the only word to describe this ten acre walled villa located near the shore in the village of Santa Cruz la Laguna. This Mayan village is only accessible by boat, just a ten-minute ride from Panajachel and you’ll arrive to privacy, luxury, spacious comfort, incredible views of the lake, mountains and volcanoes, and immaculately tended gardens and grounds.
Villa Eggedal is located 150 meters from the lake shore, which offers a sandy beach for swimming. A winding, uphill walkway leads to the estate and then through the grounds to the two studio apartments, two houses, and the owners private home with pool. (This property is definitely not suitable to handicapped renters or people with difficulty walking.)
Villa Eggedal is owned by a European aristocrat and art collector, and all the rooms are filled with beautiful antiques, paintings, rugs, sculpture, prints, and Mayan and world textiles.
Casa Wenche is the most secluded of the Eggedal rentals. This two-bedroom home offers the best views on the estate and its simple luxury and idyllic garden surrounding make it the perfect retreat. Living room, dining area and kitchen are all combined in a spacious common room leading out onto a 32 square meter terrace with one of the most stunning vistas on the lake. The fully equipped kitchen and ample dining space make this an ideal setting for a family or group getaway, and art-filled walls and tasteful decoration abound. This well-appointed house measures 118 square meters (1270 sq ft) and offers space for five in total: one bedroom with a double bed and the other with one bunk bed and one single. The ample stone-walled bathroom is located just off the common room. An outdoor terrace and barbecue area flank the entrance to the house and provide yet another opportunity to enjoy the surrounding garden and majestic views.
Small verandas, garden seats, patios, balconies, and shady lawn areas are nestled throughout the estate in a maze of winding garden paths. This is a paradise for birds and bird watchers alike with over 100 species spotted on the property alone. Papayas, avocados, citrus trees and a well-tended vegetable garden with fresh lettuce and herbs are all there for the picking to add some extra flavor to your sunset barbecue.
Staff provides housekeeping twice a week, and services like grocery shopping, laundry service and additional house-cleaning can be arranged for an additional charge.
Two studio apartments and a 4-bedroom home are also available on the estate, and Villa Eggedal can accommodate up to a total 17 people comfortably and privately.

Summary: My wife and I spent four days in Atitlan. It is a very special place on this planet. The property is expansive and the house is as described. Water taxis are close and we used private taxis periodically. We visited San Juan, San Pedro, and Pana. Dinners in communities are tough because the water taxis mostly stop at dark, so we ate big lunches in communities, and ate dinner in. All in all, a nice experience. A cool place to visit for sure.

Summary: Villa Eggedal had a lot of pros and cons. Pros:Gorgeous view and gardens. Sitting on the patio, or the little sitting areas close by were wonderful. That's really the highlight of the place.Cons:I felt like I had to pry information from Deedle about how to get to the villa. Make sure you get off at Xepoj, and not the main Santa Cruz dock or you will have a very long walk with your luggage. We were met by the caretaker, but he did not speak English and was not friendly. The grounds are beautiful, but you really should be given a tour to find your way around.It is a ten minute walk from the villa to town. If you get there in the afternoon and walk in for dinner in the dark it's extremely challenging. Make sure to bring a flashlight. The walk is very local, and fun once you know where you are going.It is a steep walk back up to the villa. If you are at all mobility challenged, this is not the place for you.The pillow cases were torn, and the blankets were too thin, and poor quality. For the price, they should be updated.Overall if I was going to stay in Santa Cruz again I would probably stay here now that I know what it entails. I would probably pick another town though, as Santa Cruz is very small and doesn't have much going on.

Summary: Beautiful view and the grounds are immaculate. Everyone was easy to communicate before and during our stay. There are a LOT of stairs and it's a 15 minute walk to the santa cruz dock. Our last night we found nimajays restaurant in santa cruz and their pizza is sooooo good.

Summary: My wife, son (10 yrs) and I spent a calm and relaxing week at this beautiful home. The property's landscaping is exceptionally and thoughtfully curated, and well set up for relaxation and quiet contemplation. We all recharged during our week at this lovely property. The onsite caretaker and staff were extremely kind, helpful and available whenever needed. This was a great place to stay for exploring the Lake Atitlan towns.

Summary: My husband, niece and I stayed for 5 enjoyable days. Each morning, we would sip coffee, tea, journal and marvel at the lake and volcano view. After a full day of exploring the lake villages, we had our evening meals on our patio. The estate is well cared for and the flowering plants and flowers are just beautiful. My husband counted 100 steps up to our slice of paradise. The view was worth every one.

Summary: Just what we were looking for in terms of a quiet relaxing weekend with a view of the lake that never got old. Surrounding grounds were gorgeous.

Summary: A magnificent stay in a peaceful setting. The pictures do not do justice to the gardens, thoughtful landscaping and flowers, vines and cacti that grace every corner. As a family of four this was the perfect place to retreat to and have a couple quiet days. I could not wait to get up on day 1 just so I could drink my coffee on the amazing covered terrace while watching the sun rise and light up the volcanoes across the lake. During our stay the winds kicked up and the power went out for 24 hours. It barely mattered. There is a gas stove and candles provided, along with all the oil, salt, pepper, coffee and essentials. Dinner and cards by candlelight was so pretty and memorable. Regarding logistics: Manuela did some laundry for us for 50 Q per load, and returned it folded. Getting from GC Airpirt was simple- Deedle the property manager gave us emails and numbers of a reputable company and our driver Santos was safe and friendly. He stopped for the bathroom, snacks, and to take our picture at the mirador. He even took us to the tienda in Pana so we could pick up all our provisions. He made arrangements for a boat to take us to the house. He called Diego to meet us at the dock and help us with our bags. Really affable and warm service that I was not expecting, and which was welcomed after some rough travel days. Altogether wonderful :)

Summary: We loved the property and were happy to be away from the noise of Atitlan’s larger towns. Casa Eric #2 was perfect for us and the bed and shower were the best so far in 4 weeks of traveling. The gardens are so beautiful and bring your binoculars: I added a dozen birds to my life list!

Summary: This house was a dream house for us! There was myself, my husband and our two kids (6 and 8) and we spent 6 nights at this house. It was beautiful and the view NEVER got old. We sat out on the porch and watched the thunder storms roll through and we called it "Guatemalan T.V." The sky changes at every moment and we could have watched it all day and night. The grounds are gorgeous and we had fun exploring. The pool is a little bit of a walk from the house, but it was fine, and we visited it daily. My kids loved it and it was clean and refreshing. Diego, the grounds keeper, was helpful with our bags and getting us water. We hired Manuela to cook some meals for us and she was one of the highlights of our time there. She is kind and skilled and we just adore her. Everyone was so patient with our limited Spanish, but we were able to communicate. We were sad to leave this house and hope to come back soon. Lake Atitlan, Santa Cruz, and this house are so special!

Summary: I have traveled around the world and never have I come across a property so special. Acres and acres of gardens and views of the lake so beautiful you feel like Alice when she went through the looking glass. My husband and I kept saying “this can’t be real.” It’s like waking up in a dream. The property manager Deedle made everything easy for us (let her set up your transportation, I made the huge mistake of getting an uber there and it was so much easier and cheaper leaving when we used her boat and car service). The owner Erick was around the property and made us feel like we were home the moment we got to the property to when we left. His warmth and hospitality made an incredible place even more incredible. We had almost all of our meals prepared by Emanuella who is an amazing person as well as cook. When she found out my husband loves bacon she went to the market and made sure to have it for him every morning. She was such a warm person to be around and you’ll want her to cook for you as once you get to the property you are never going to want to leave! We very much look forward to returning many more times and our families can’t wait to join us!
