Walk up to our newly added roof-top terrace for a good morning stretch or a serene yoga session amidst the colonial roof tops, taking in the 360 degree breathtaking view. You suddenly learn to feel alive again!

Wait ... its sauna time in our backyard Mayan sauna!

My husband and I have stayed in Greg's lovely home twice in the last 13 months or so. We just got married in Antigua and knew we wanted to stay in the home again during our experience leading up to the wedding. The house is beautiful. The decor is welcoming and calming after a long day trekking around town. And the use of the car is a really nice plus. Loved sitting out on the front porch with our morning coffee and waving at the security guards and sitting in the backyard reading in the afternoon. Greg is attentive to any requests and really does all he can to make you feel comfortable. We had the housekeeper make us dinner and it was really great. One of our best meals. Definitely take Greg up on his restaurant recommendations. Our faves. Cafe Condessa, Tartine, brunch or dinner at Meson Panza Verde, Hotel Posado de Don Rodrigo, and most definitely KIDS restaurant. We had the most amazing experience there and if you can make it to the restaurant I highly recommend. I loved that Greg's house is off the beaten path a bit and quieter, but still close enough that you could even walk or bike if you don't want to use the car. Love Antigua so much and this house is really special.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

Greg, the owner was very helpfull, and very quick in his replies. The house is really nice, with alot of different spaces, aswell inside and and in the garden. This made it perfect for us (5 people) to live in, as well to even invite some extra people to stay over. The big kitchen, fully equiped is great as well. The view from the masterbedroom and the terace is really very nice. The car we got was great! Just 5 min. and you are in the centre of antigua. We knew antigua very well allready, it was very nice this time to live just outside of the center and wake up peacefully, with the sound of the birds and the views of the vulcano. I would highly recommend it. Thx Greg.Recommended for: Tourists without a car, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children.

I was completely delighted by the charm and warmth of Casa Gregirio. I felt completely at home and cozy (in a very nice sized house). It was a perfect oasis just minutes outside of the hustle and bustle. Beautiful gardens offered a space of serenity and I LOVED cooking in the kitchen! Thank you for offering a space that is filled with comfort and love! I look forward to staying there again on my next visit.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, age 55+, romantic getaway, girls getaway.

Staying here again was like coming back to a luxurious retreat space I felt was mine. I love the location of the house - so close to Antigua yet set in spacious greenery. The house has everything I'll ever need for entertaining. The sauna is the most beautiful Ive ever been in and I love the new garden lighting as well as the yoga deck and meditation room. Greg is an amazing host and all the details to make your stay and adventures in Guatemala are supported. The books and DVDs and beautiful stunning bathrooms just make this so much more then a normal rental. Dont miss out on this opportunity to explore one of the most beautiful places on the planet!Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

The home has great accommodations for couples and families. You will be greeted by angela the housekeeper to show you around and make you feel welcome. The home is a wonderful place just to relax after hiking the ruins, volcanoes,and villages. Guatemala is a world of it's own. Antigua has the best location for seeing the sights of the country. We went with 2 other couples and had the best vacation ever in part due to the home stay and the contacts made available from the owner. Greg helped us hook up with a van driver (Victor) who picked us up from Guatemala City, took us to shopping, and to sites all over Guatemala. The home was very clean and accommodations were incredible. The owner was extremely helpful planning the trip. We look forward to our next trip back to this fantastic home in beautiful antigua.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway.

We went to Antigua to attend a wedding and stayed in Greg's home. The location was perfect! The use of the car was great. We were able to find our way around Antigua after a couple of visits to town. The house was great and spacious enough for all 6 of us.The listing, description and pictures were accurate. Angela the house keeper prepared several meals for us and did a great job. Greg had the house prestocked for us which was a great help. Greg was very helpful when we had problems with the internet. We have 3 homes on VRBO and would recommend Greg's home for an Antigua stay.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, romantic getaway.

My family and my parents stayed for 9 days in this lovely home. When we arrived Greg was there to meet us and show us his beautiful home. He was extremely nice and helpful throughout the week. The house was just perfect! The views from the roof top deck are amazing! We watch the volcano puff smoke every morning. I have never been at a more peaceful place standing up there. I loved that the home is outside of the city (but not too far). I enjoyed the fact that there is only one TV. My kids ages 12 and 8 played checkers and chess almost every day. The Land Rover was a great bonus; we used it every day to go into the city. I highly recommend this home.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children.

We stayed at the house for 4 weeks and found it a peaceful place outside the city. View was spectacular from the roof and neighborhood safe with guard on duty. Our whole family enjoyed all the meals cooked for us at the house. The vehicle worked well; about 1 to 1.5 miles(5 to 10 minutes) to various locations in the city.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, families with teenagers, romantic getaway.

I could not have asked for a warmer welcome to Guatemala than being delivered to the doorstep of La Casa De Gregorio, a home cooked supper and bottle of red to share with family :) With easy access to town it was lovely to be in the peace and quiet of Los Jardines de Antigua. An amazingly effective Mayan sauna, a beautiful bath and the perfect rooftop terrace for morning yoga beneath Volcan Agua. I highly recommend La Casa de Gregorio to anyone looking forward to the perfect home away from home in Antigua :)Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

Location
Owner info
Year Purchased: 2007
About the owner: I moved here with in 2002 after backpacking for a few months and waiting an alternative life. Now, Guatemala is a big part of my life. I spend half my time in Guatemala, shared between Antigua and Lake Atitlan.
Why the Owner Chose Antigua:
Just outside town was important to me because it gives me this feeling of 'getting away from it all'....yet its only a few minutes drive into the center. The coffee finca and all the trees surroundings the house gives me a feel of the countryside.
The Unique Benefits at this Villa:
Don't be mistaken; this is a unique house! Influences from my travels are felt in the different parts of the house. Many areas to be in - creating a separateness from one room to the next - even though all the common area are in an 'open-plan' style as there are very few doors.
