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.

Great spot for my daughter and I
This apartment was lovely. Secluded but walkable to main town. Tastefully decorated and comfortable for my 9 year old daughter and I. We appreciated the hot shower and patio.

Serene and comfortable gem overlooking Lake Atitlan
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.

Very enjoyable.
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.

Clean, quiet and thoughtfully constructed compound
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.

Beautiful, quiet, secure and close to town would be my exact words!
Our host Carlo was incredibly hospitable - available for any questions and to provide any assistance. The apartment was prefect with a nice patio to enjoy our morning coffee. The kitchen was well equipped and the shower was so nice. The bed was comfortable with the best sheets ever!. Overall a great stay!
