Can’t Imagine a Better Place!
We were immediately impressed by the online photos and reviews of this property, but our expectations were FAR exceeded throughout our stay! The home was impeccably clean, marvelously furnished and decorated, and the staff were delightful and incredibly helpful! Our family included teens, parents, and grandparents, and the accommodations were well suited for everyone. The community felt very safe, and Elma was so helpful in getting us acquainted to the property and offering suggestions for volcano tours and local restaurants that could accommodate our group. We would return in a heartbeat!

Beautiful house. Great location
Picture do not do this house justice. Gorgeous property. Housekeeper and ground person very helpful and friendly. Quiet neighbourhood. Perfectly located just outside the core, but within walking distance. Security in and out was TIGHT! Felt very safe.
Literally the only downside would be no area poolside for a lounge chair. Would definitely recommend and stay again!

Wonderful place to spend Christmas holidays
The house is a Spanish colonial one story, built in the thirties, in an elegant, well maintained, secure residential compound. It has three double bedrooms, two baths, three living rooms, one outside and one with a fireplace, two dining rooms, kitchen, courtyard/patio with luxuriant planting, and several assorted other spaces. There is a decent size pool in the back, also with wonderful plantings, fit for lap swimming, but tends to be on the cool side temperature wise.
The house is nicely and fully furnished, and includes amenities like good thick towels, fresh flowers, bottled water, etc.
Marta, the housekeeper, is at the house five days a week. She straightens up, will do some laundry and will make meals (reserve in advance, extra cost). She is very cheerful and helpful but speaks no English. There is also a gardener who keeps the outside looking beautiful. A small hotel around the corner will arrange for a driver for excursions.
It is helpful if someone in your party speaks some Spanish. Many taxi drivers, restaurant people, etc. do not.
The owner is American and lives in Virginia. She will help arrange pick-up at the airport and make restaurant suggestions. She is responsive about email messages.
The house is a on the edge of the center of Antigua and it is easy to walk almost anywhere in town. It is not recommended that travelers walk the streets at night. Any restaurant will call a cab.
Antigua is a very picturesque town surrounded by mountains and active volcanoes (it is also very touristy). It is great fun to watch the locals in their bright colors and eat the interesting food. It is, however, noisy and filled with pollution from buses and trucks. What a delight to go back to our house after a day of touring, where is was very quiet and peaceful

A wonderful home--walking distance to downtown Antigua
Elizabeth, the owner, could not have been more helpful with information and tips on the run up to our stay. The house is a home, more graceful and elegant than even the photos show. Marta, the housekeeper, was a friendly, efficient and helpful delight. The house and the small Casita are ideal for two families with kids. The gated neighborhood is safe and lovely and within easy walking distance of downtown Antigua and all the attractions. We hope to return!

Fabulous 4-Day Stay in Antigua
We recently stayed at this great property in Antigua, Guatemala. We were traveling with our whole family - Mom, Dad and three children in their late teens and early 20s. The home was a great family respite with it's very comfortable lounging areas for relaxing and having fun. We also rented the extra house for extended family members. They loved that small and very complete cottage area. During our stay, we also enjoyed the heated pool. We basked in the sunshine surrounded by unbelievably lavish flowers in the garden. We love that part of the home.
The maid in the house was very, very nice and helped with everything. She cooked us a great Guatemalan meal that we all thoroughly enjoyed - Pepian. All in all, I highly recommend this property. It's safe, secure and well worth the price.
