This property (and let’s be real; mini-mansion) was absolutely perfect for our visit to San Ignacio and surpassed our expectations in every way. The home even more spacious and well-appointed than you see in the photos. The back deck, complete with private pool, stretches the entire length of the house and provides endless jaw dropping views. We couldn’t wait to get up every morning, sip our coffee, and watch the jungle come to life. The kitchen is exquisite. We learned that the owner was a professional Italian chef. Get ready for a massive gas fired range, every gadget and gismo you could want, and serving platters for days.
The property is GORGEOUS! Located about 20 minutes from downtown San Ignacio, you take a secluded dirt road about 2km from the western highway and you are in your own gated oasis. Friendly dogs and cats greet you every day and there are gorgeous trails open for exploration. These hilly dirt roads are common in this region so we recommend renting the biggest baddest 4x4 you can. We ended up with a diesel powered, manual pick-up which may seem excessive but opened up so many cool possibilities. That being said, a standard SUV will get you in and out of the property no problem.
We can’t say enough good things about San Ignacio in general. There are excellent restaurants, unforgettable tours, and welcoming people. This place is the perfect launch pad to explore the ATM Cave, Barton Creek, the Mayan Ruins, and more. Another quick tip: There are many beautiful resorts in the area – Blackrock, Ka’ana in particular. We found that you if make a reservation for lunch or dinner, they are fine with you enjoying the pool and other amenities. This is a great way to have the resort experience without paying resort prices. Plus, we liked having our own private place to come home to.
Thank you for an INCREDIBLE & unforgettable stay! We hope to come back again one day.
