Palacio de Dona Leonor Palacio de Dona Leonor is an authentic mansion steeped in 500 years of history, evident the minute one steps through its heavy oak doors. Set around a stunning garden courtyard, each of the eleven suites has been individually decorated in keeping with the original colonial style and named after a member of the original owner's family. From hand-crafted antiques to ornately painted ceilings, every detail of the Palacio has been lovingly thought through to restore the building to its former glory making it a special place to stay.

One of the most serene places I've ever been... Awesome backdrop of volcanoes One of the most serene places I've ever been. Lake Atitlan was formed many years ago (84,000 according to Wikipedia) after a volcanic eruption, and is surrounded by three other volcanoes and a backdrop of mountains. The lake feels immense. I stayed in one of the villages perched up on the side, called Panajachel. We took a boat for the day which stopped at three villages around the lake, San Pedro, San Antonio, and San Augustino.
