A charming small hotel situated in the centre of Antigua, El Meson de Maria is close to the Calle del Arco (main street) and the main plaza. Ideally located for exploring the city, this restored 16th century mansion has four different room types, all decorated and furnished in colonial style and using local textiles. There are a number of patios and terraces, some with views that look out over Antigua town and the volcanoes. Horse riding, biking through the city and mountain hikes can be booked through the hotel.
