Casa Xicaya is a family owned guesthouse in a small community about 20 minutes outside of Antigua. Perched on a hill 1840 meters above sea level you will be hard pressed to find more magnificent views of Volcan del Agua or the surrounding greenery that makes the Antigua region an renowned international destination. The bed and breakfast boasts three individual bedrooms, each with its own private bathroom, and a separate guesthouse with four beds which can accommodate larger groups.

Perfectly quiet

A nice hotel in a small village. Very quiet, very cozy, very clean. The rooms are comfortable. Doña Verónica and Don Alfonso are always approachable and very helpful. You have to like the secluded location.

Perfect relaxing stay

Nice rooms in a lovely family house. The 3 rooms have a direct access to a large balcony on which you can relax and enjoy a great view on the 3 volcanoes (you can see the Fuego lava explosions during the night). Beautiful and colorful garden. Lovely and friendly owners (Veronica speak French very well!) with cute dogs. Very nice breakfast included. It’s located in a cute and quiet village on the heights of Antigua. From Casa Xicaya it’s a 15-min walk to very nice restaurants (Cerro San Cristobal and Antigua Mágica). 100% recommended !!
