The Cloister, originally a 16th century cloister, later converted to a private-residence by Boston transplant Barbara Leaver, provides a rare opportunity to visit a colonial home.
Within the original massive walls, around a colonial garden, individual rooms of various sizes have been created, each with its own fireplace, library, and
collectibles.
Built in the classic Spanish style with comfortable furnished rooms arranged around a central garden courtyard, All seven rooms have private baths and fireplaces.
A day at The Cloister starts with a delicious breakfast of your choice, served by our experienced staff.
I could go on and on about the Cloister, but you should experience it on your own. From Guatemala Guide
