Photos and Description of the Lake Atitlan vacation house rental
3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, outdoor shower, sleeps 7-9

Step into a different world. Lake Atitlán is one of the most exquisitely beautiful places on earth. Surrounded by volcanoes and steeped in indigenous culture, it's an intoxicating place to spend your vacation. Palatalik is a lovely, comfortable new lakeside house, designed by a Guatemalan architect and built by local craftsmen. It's on the 'car free' side of the lake -- accessible only by water taxi from the nearby town of Panajachel.

Wake up to the sunrise over Atitlán and Tolimán, two of the three volcanoes visible from our house. Fall asleep watching the natural light show created by storms caught miles away behind them. In between, you can swim from our dock in the clear, cool waters of the lake, walk to a nearby restaurant for lunch, take a boat to a nearby village to study Spanish, climb the volcanoes, or ride horses...or just hang out on one of the three terraces and read or watch the local fisherman go by in their wooden canoes.

The house is great for families.

Perfect for a peaceful get-away

Review Submitted: January 3, 2012 Date of Stay: December 2011
We were looking for a peaceful get-away and this house is perfect. We loved waking up every morning to views of the volcano and the house had all the amenities we could use. We went out to lunch every day (the reviews included in the information booklet were very helpful) and stayed in for dinner. It was a perfect combination. Pablo was wonderful and the neighbors are very nice. Be aware that the water level of the lake has risen significantly in the last few months so the path to Santa Cruz is more of an obstacle course than a leisurely walk. Since we live in Guatemala City we plan to come back as often as we can!

Quiet, great views, easy access, walking distance to several restaurants

Review Submitted: December 13, 2011 Date of Stay: November 2011
A perfect location. A 10-minute boat ride from Pana (for provisions, services, tons of restaurants), yet away from any noise (no roads nearby). Very close to several excellent restaurants: Isla Verde for wonderful food and drinks, Casa Del Mundo and Volcano Lodge for dinners, and Ven Aca for cocktails and gourmet lunches. Beautiful boat ride to other towns, or take the "camino" (path) behind the house that the locals to walk between villages.

The house is wonderfully equipped with everything you'll need to transform the bounty purchased from the local indigenous markets into fantastic fruit smoothies and meals. Or have Rosalia charm you while she makes wonderful meals for you. We arrived to see her smiling face preparing two fantastic meals (with tons left over for three more days) for less than US$10/person. Can't beat it.

House is extremely comfortable and equipped to high standards. A washing machine and drier complements the luxury. Sit out on one of three patios, or watch the life of the lake pass from the dock.

Fantastic master bedroom with en-suite bath and showers. Second and third sleeping areas share a nice bath with a fun (and private) outdoor shower.

We stayed twice and hope to return again!

House in Paradice

Review Submitted: November 16, 2011 Date of Stay: November 2011
We recently had the priveledge of renting Casa Palatalik for a vacation at Lake Atitlan. Wow! The home exceded our expectations from the moment we stepped off the launcha. Flowers and plants of every color greet you as you walk up to the house and Pablo will even carry your bags up. The house was more beutiful than pictures can convey and immaculately kept. The owner made the rental very easy and the onsite rep took care of anything we needed. With three terraces and volcano and lake views from almost every room I would highly recommend this home to anyone.
Don't miss breakfast at Casa de Mundo a 20 minute walk along a path that keeps opening on to spectalular vistas.

Review Submitted: June 27, 2011 Date of Stay: June 2011
We rented this house for my in laws so we were 9 adults and 2 children. It was nice to have the whole family sitting together and enjoy the walk to Jaibalito. The house was very equipped with all you can need to cook, games, great atmosphere to read, and relax. The whole family loved our stayed at Palatalik and if we can we would go back.

Thanks
