Beautiful Villa - Amazing staff
Each person on the staff was a joy to meet!!! Flor and everyone was so helpful to make sure we were comfortable and could find our way around not just the villa but options nearby. It was a quick walk to the main road for shopping and dining. We also took advantage of the option to have a local woman come cook for us (outlined in the welcome binder but I would get with Flor ahead of time if able to make sure she is available for you). Every meal was amazing - and she was the absolute sweetest woman. We are already planning our trip back next year!!

WONDERFUL PLACE FOR FAMILIES
Our family of 5 stayed her in March 2020 (before Coronavirus) and had a wonderful time. There are three bedrooms with en suite baths and a loft area with two twin beds. The beds are very firm. We were not hot as there were fans at night and it got cool enough to sleep. We could walk almost everywhere although we took Uber at night. Had wonderful meals. Flor was amazing and arranged shuttles etc and a coffee tour. We had Myda cook a dinner and 2 breakfasts which were good and a help. Plenty of clean water from a dispenser. The pool and hot tub were great and we used both every day. Internet was fine for what we needed. One of the more relaxing vacations we've had.

Wonderful property!
We loved our 4-night stay in Antigua at this beautiful, cozy, super clean and spacious house. Everything was comfortable, the pool/hot tub situation was lovely, and the proximity to the center of town, unbeatable. Can only report good things!

Not your typical Guatemalan Rental
This property boats many nice touches that we haven’t experienced in other Antigua rentals, like robes, nice linens, face wipes, mostly comfortable furniture. Good cleaning staff. Wonderful to have access to washer/dryer since we had a full house of three generations. We made arrangements through Flor to have Six meals prepared for us and each was more delectable than the prior one. Pepian, the national dish, was the best I’ve eaten anywhere including the better restaurants. The swimming pool and hot tub were very clean and great fun for the kids. Gated area and 24 hour guards provided good security. Very quiet at night which isn’t a Guatemalan norm. Things you might consider: Location requires crossing a major street near the bus station and at certain times of the day traffic is chaotic. There are other rentals that share the pool. While indoor areas are tranquil, the pool and shared patio can be quite busy.

Host profile image
From Britain, but spent my entire adult life in Guatemala, working in the tourism industry. I am now living in the Twin Cities, and trained as an addiction counselor. Very much miss Guatemala, but Paola, our lovely House manager is onsite to help you with one of our rentals. Do give me a call.... I appreciate any opportunity to be able to talk about Guatemala...the land of eternal Spring.

What makes this property unique

Kids and adults alike can enjoy the shared solar-heated swimming pool and Jacuzzi/Hot tub set in a beautiful and tranquil courtyard - right next door. The house itself offers: wireless internet, satellite TV, games and novels, local travel guides, and bicycles. You can rest your weary feet after a stimulating day of sightseeing, by relaxing in front of a roaring fire, surrounded by old wooden, antique beams, and all the comforts of home.

The flower-filled private garden can be appreciated as you enjoy a delicious meal outside, or from the gentle swing of a hammock - don't forget to watch out for the rainbow hummingbirds!
