Casa Federico is located in the town of San Miguel, on the opposite side of Lake Petén Itzá from Flores. It’s easily accessible within 10-15 minutes by boat and a short walk or tuk tuk ride. Though close to town, it offers a secluded escape, surrounded by nature and birdsong.

Casa Federico is my personal home, open to guests who value tranquility, independence, and adventure. Designed for travelers who care for the spaces they visit, it invites you to unwind, slow down, and make it your own.

The space
Casa Federico is a retreat designed for those who cherish both nature and comfort. It’s the perfect place to disconnect, unwind, and make yourself at home. Here’s what you can expect:

Peaceful Jungle Setting – Tucked away in nature, it’s the ideal spot for reading, writing, or simply slowing down.

Modern Comforts – Designed with care to offer you the best of both worlds: a restful and rejuvenating stay away from the busy island of Flores.

Nature at Your Doorstep – Enjoy birdwatching from your hammock, stargazing from the terrace, and the soothing sounds of the jungle surrounding you.

Easy & Scenic Access – Just a 10-15 min walk to the boat dock, connecting you to Flores, Tikal, and more—no car needed. And if you feel lazy, Tuk Tuks can take you up to the house or down to the boats for only Q10.

A Home for You – Casa Federico runs on the principle of guest independence. Essentials are provided to get you started, and from there, you’re free to enjoy the space just like at home.

Guest access
Guests have private access to the container home and the surrounding outdoor area, including:

A hammock and garden lounge

Covered sitting and dining area

A fire pit for cozy evenings under the stars

This is your space to relax, unwind, and enjoy as your own.

Please respect night hours between 8pm and 7am so other guests and myself can rest if they wish.

Other things to note
Getting Here & Parking – You won’t need a car during your stay—everything is close by and easily reached on foot or by public transport like tuk tuks. Casa Federico is best accessed by boat, followed by a short walk or ride from the dock. There’s no dedicated or permitted parking on or near the property. If you do arrive by car, it’s best to leave it on the island side of Lake Petén Itzá and arrange for its storage yourself.

This is a Vacation Home – Casa Federico is not a hotel. There’s no daily service or restocking. Essentials like toilet paper and filtered water are provided to get you started, but you’re expected to restock as needed.

Cleanliness & Responsibility – Please treat the space with care. Keep it tidy, don’t leave doors, curtains, or windows wide open when you’re out, and be mindful of your surroundings.

No Visitors – Casa Federico is for booked guests only. It’s a private, peaceful retreat, and I’d like to keep it that way for everyone.

Quiet Hours – To preserve the serenity of the area, please respect quiet time from 8 PM to 7 AM.

No Luggage Storage – There’s no option to leave luggage before check-in or after check-out, so please plan accordingly.

Tours & Shuttles – If you’d like to explore Maya sites like Tikal or Yaxha, I’m happy to connect you with a trusted local agency.

Early Check-In / Late Check-Out – If available, either can be arranged for Q70 per person (cash). Earliest check-in is 7:30 AM, and the latest check-out is 6:00 PM.

Mindful Use of Electricity – Please turn off all lights and appliances when not in use, and avoid leaving outside lights on overnight to help conserve energy.
