Farm Experience

Stay With Us

Come stay where the story began. One hour from Guatemala City, a world apart.

The Farmhouse

A Century of Hospitality

The farmhouse where Federico brought Suzanne from France over a century ago still stands on Tecuamburro's slopes — and now, it's yours to experience. Restored for guests while preserving its historic character, the farmhouse offers comfortable rooms, home-cooked meals featuring local cuisine, and a veranda with mountain views that haven't changed in 135 years.

Stays are arranged directly with the Ossaye family. We accommodate small groups of 2–8 guests for personalized experiences. Please inquire at least 2 weeks in advance.
