WOW Casa Pyramid Mayan inspired Retreat Avocado and Estate Farm

Welcome to Villa "Pyramid House" at Campanario de Panchoy, a luxurious retreat nestled in the mountains above Antigua, Guatemala. This exclusive sanctuary offers a unique opportunity to experience a new way of living amidst the fresh mountain air and natural splendor.

Your Unique Sanctuary
Villa "Pyramid House" is a self-contained gem designed for two. It features an open-concept bedroom with a queen-sized bed, luxurious linens, and a private ensuite bathroom. The bedroom opens onto a spacious deck with large sliding doors, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the three majestic 13,000-foot volcanoes: Agua, Fuego, and Acatenango.

A Retreat Like No Other
Set within the private Campanario Estate, this retreat spans a 150-acre working avocado farm and offers 7 km of hiking trails and beautifully landscaped gardens. Embrace the ecological off-grid lifestyle and enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime experience amid the Mayan Highlands.

Architectural Marvel
Designed by Architect Craig Henritzy, the villa blends Mayan and Spanish Colonial architectural styles, featuring intricate details like Mayan pottery shards and obsidian. This creates a magical realism experience reminiscent of Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s work.

Discover and Enjoy
Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted by the estate’s gardens and stunning views. The compound includes a main house and four additional villas, available for individual or collective rental. Enjoy a gourmet Guatemalan breakfast included with your stay, and take advantage of the high-end kitchens in each villa. Food delivery options from Antigua are available, and advance arrangements for lunch and dinner can be made.

Sustainable Luxury
We are committed to sustainability, operating fully off-the-grid with a complex micro-grid system that includes solar panels, inverters, and backup generators. Our rainwater is harvested and filtered using 14 cisterns and a 300,000-gallon reservoir. Explore our active greenhouse, carpentry shop, concrete countertop workshop, and state-of-the-art microbial inoculant laboratory, all part of our eco-friendly infrastructure.

Superior Internet Connectivity
Enjoy the best internet in the area with our dual-system setup. We offer both Starlink and Claro 150, ensuring reliable connectivity. Claro 150, delivered via a point-to-point Ubiquiti system, provides speeds of 75-130 Mbps but can be inconsistent. To guarantee dependable access, we also use SpaceX’s Starlink, which we were among the first to install in Guatemala. This combination provides a robust and redundant internet system, ideal for video conferences and other online needs. Our Ubiquiti mesh Wi-Fi routers ensure consistent coverage throughout the property.

Explore and Experience
With additional villas and a main house on the property, there is much to explore. Search for "Villas Campanario" on YouTube for a glimpse into our world.

Getting Here
Located about five kilometers above Antigua, access is easy whether you drive, use Uber, or take a taxi. The journey involves a scenic climb with ten switchbacks through the charming village of San Cristobal El Alto. Most vehicles can make it directly to the farm, though a high wheelbase is recommended. We provide free daily trips to the village and can arrange additional transport to Antigua if needed.

Attentive Service
Our administrator, Claudia, will personally arrange your stay, ensuring that all your needs are met. Whether you desire privacy or attentive service, Claudia is here to assist. We provide a complimentary daily breakfast and a daily trip to Antigua for purchasing supplies or ordering food.
