A special place, surrounded by nature and incredible landscapes, all on the most beautiful lake in the world, Dita and Amilcar are super attentive, an experience worth living if you travel to Atitlan, Guatemala.

This is our second stay at The Artist's Loft and it was just as peaceful as the first time in 2017. The view is breathtaking and I feel the best view of Lake Atitlan. The house is spacious, sunny and airy. I enjoyed the firm bed. The staff, Dorca, Milka and Nathanael were helpful and responsive. We enjoyed reading on the deck and had almost all our meals there. I became friends with the parrot Victoria and became attached to her. Everytime I saw her she made me laugh. We very much enjoyed our stay.

My husband and I celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary here. We could not be more pleased!! Dita is a wonderful host and has a beautiful property. She has great attention to detail. We could use her kayak and kayaked across the lake. She made us a delicious organic dinner on evening. Fabulous wine. She arranged for her yoga instructor to come and give me a private lesson along with a Mayan reading. He was so kind. She also arranged for a helicopter to come and pick my husband and I up to take us to the airport!!! Details!! Also the location is nice. You can walk into town, there are lots of stairs on the property. She has a dock and you can catch boats into the other towns. We felt safe and will come back!!

We stayed at upper house, 4 adults plus Pet. we had a good time and good weather. Food quality was really good and even best, if compared with surroundings places. You will need one day at least to enjoy and relax in Casa Rosada.

We agree that Casa Rosada is a space where at least a day is needed to truly relax and soak in the atmosphere. We look forward to welcoming you back for another stay where you can take more time to enjoy and relax. Thank you for choosing us for your getaway!

Dita was a great host. Her food and energy is amazing. Pros: •Private dock/beach •House look like the pictures if not better •Host is available to answer all concerns/needs •Private dinner cooked by Host was delicious •Friendly Dogs/Pets on premises •Bed and pillows are comfortable •House is very clean Cons: •Insects. You really have to be comfortable and okay with spiders and scorpions because there are many many many •Because you’re surrounded by trees there are also many birds. They were very noisy (we had to deal with a woodpecker which was a little frustrating) •The stairs are extremely dark and could use some light for people who like to stay out after sunset Overall I think it was a great and interesting experience.

Upon arrival, we were greeted by an outstanding crew who helped us with our bags and carried them up the hill to the loft. Dita met us and showed us to the loft which is nestled on a hill in one of the most inspiring designs i have ever stepped foot in. vantage points from any angle of the craftily designed loft offers breathtaking views of the lake. We felt completely safe sleeping with our doors open at night. We had a five course dinner at the restaurant prepared with organic ingredients with a bottle of wine. The price for dinner was well below what you would expect to pay for such unique dishes and service. Also a good note, 30% of what you pay for dinner goes to help local children in need. Breakfast was included both days of our stay and we ate on the dock the first morning and on the beach the second. Breakfast consisted of fresh organic fruit, coffee with perfectly frothed milk and fresh baked bread and organic eggs. Did i mention that the bread is baked fresh daily! All of the staff is amazing and were there to help us with any issue. Dita arranged a private boat taxi to take us to where we wanted to go, and they waited for us to shop, eat and explore. The private boat took us to several stops around the lake and were prompt and on time. This beats the public taxi as they make frequent stops and the rides are often crowded, making for an extra bumpy ride to your destination. The morning we left, we were taken back to panajachel by the same arranged taxi which made things super easy for us. Next time we return to Atitlan, we will be sure to stay at Casa Rosada again!

Ok so let me calmly explain how much I loved this place without sounding overzealous. The beauty of this place simply can never be captured in photos and believe me I’ve tried. The views are insanely stunning and calming. The home is a luxurious cabin, loft, den home out of a home magazine. I loved everything from the paint colors to the simple decor to the lack of television. The place is immaculately clean and that’s incredibly important to me. I went for a bday weekend and I was spoiled rotten. When I arrived dita was away with a family emergency but had her sweet kind staff meet me and settle me in. I had dinner served from the on site restaurant delivered to the table you see in the pic and meticulously set up with wine, bread, and a four course meal with candle light. Was in heaven!!! Did I mention the cost of said meal was almost a joke how inexpensive it was. The next am I had breakfast delivered to me as well and again fresh cut fruits of papaya and watermelon fresh and delish, with omelette and fresh baked bread with fresh coffee. That night she invited me to dinner and I’m certain I would’ve had the time or my life but missed it as I was exhausted. Had coffee with her the next am before I left. I only had a few days here but with the insane beauty of this place and the hospitality you can be sure I will be back with friends. Did I mention she kindly planned my stay and gave me the greatest advise on how to spend my time and how to get around? I’m obsessed with her and this marvelous place if you can’t tell. Do yourselves a favor and don’t stay anywhere shut this gem of a home !!!! Thanks for a heavenly 38 th bday. !!!!

Nice place, the boys who help are amazing. The hosts are kind and helpful. The view is amazing. The place is well maintained and we felt very safe. We stayed 4 nights. The hosts arranged a private taxi for us which was appreciated. However there were some annoying issues. They have 6 dogs which bark non stop. Always in the early morning. They are not harmful just very loud. Also i found it distasteful to be charged for washing machine access, even though we are paying 200 per night, 4 nights. Thirdly, we was invited by the host (three times) for dinner. We assumed it was free since she invited us, only to be given a huge bill once we had left the place through air bb. I found it quite under handed not to fully disclose their prices for food. And wait until we have left to bill us as to avoid any disagreements.

We had a wonderful time at Anzan! The grounds and accommodations were beautiful and well-maintained. It is true that the pictures do not do it justice. The views of the lake and volcanoes from this property are also stunning - after traveling around to the various towns, I think this was the most beautiful view as well. Speaking of getting around, San Marcos is just a quick walk (or quicker tuk tuk), and if you need to go to the other towns, the boats come by frequently. We took the kayak for a spin in the morning, and the lake was cool and calm. We also had dinner one night and it was fabulous. The courses were well chosen and all crafted to perfection. Dita was a wonderful host and immediately made us feel at home, and was so helpful. I would absolutely recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing, carefree time at Lake Atitlan. We only wish we could have stayed longer!
