                            An hour out of Guatemala City lies Antigua, the former capital. This small, inviting town is surrounded by three breathtaking volcanoes – Agua, Fuego and Acatenango. They provide a striking background to one of Guatemala’s most visited locations. Thousands of tourists, and locals, flock to Antigua to experience its relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Antigua has plenty to amuse both heart and mind. The center square is a common meeting place and the perfect location to people watch. Numerous benches hold wearied travelers, hard-working students or elderly Guatemalan men holding meaningless conversations. Lovers, children and tourists stop to stare at the ancient fountain in the center of the square....morecollapse

                            My husband and I stayed at this home first of April. It was a nice and secluded gated community but an easy walk to Hotel Santo Domingo and easy stroll to the rest of Antigua. The home was beautifully decorated and designed by a famous architect in Antigua but very comfortable space as well. Lots of outdoor areas to entertain. Julia who has worked for the family for years was great and we enjoyed seeing her every day. She went to the market with us one day and we picked out fresh vegetables and chicken of which she turned into a wonderful meal for us and our friends. I would stay here again! Owners are very gracious and helpful.

                            Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, sightseeing, tourists without a car.

                            My husband and I stayed in this home early April of this year. It was beautifully designed by a famous architect well known in Antigua. The home was stylish but comfortable, has great outdoor spaces, a covered parking area, and is in a quiet and gated community. We were able to drive into town but a walk is certainly feasible as well. It was close to the Santo Domingo hotel so we had a chance to discover a different section of the town and had many meals in that beautiful hotel. Julia who works for the family was there every day and was very kind. We even went to the market with her and she cooked a traditional meal for us and 2 other friends. Had a great time and would recommend this home for 2 or more couples and certainly families as the yard is fenced, nice playground, childs room, etc.

                          Owner info

                          Year Purchased: 2003

                          About the owner: We are a small family of 3. Both my wife and I studied abroad in Europe and the US and have a degree in hotel and restaurant management. We came to Antigua 14 years ago to open a new restaurant. We planned on a 6 month stay and fell in love with the city. We are living here ever since. We enjoy travelling and eating well. This is reflected throughout the house in the many art pieces and antiques we have brought from different countries and in the hughe kitchen where we love to eat and entertain our guests. When we designed the house we wanted to always look at green areas. We love the outdoors! So, no matter where you are in the house you will alwas have a look to our outside garden, our interior gardens, the volcanoes or the mountains. We absolutelly love to keep fresh flowers in the house!

                          Why the Owner Chose Antigua:
                          We built this house in the most beautiful area of Antigua Guatemala because we wanted our children to grow up in a secure and healthy enviroment. We could not have found a better spot!!! Renting our house has been a great experience. We have met people from all over the world and have also had the chance to visit them back. Very rewarding!!

                          The Unique Benefits at this House:
                          The tranquility of the house, the smell of fresh baked cakes or the al fresco dining in the back porch of the house make us never want to leave the house... We are so sure that you will cherish your stay in our home for years to come!
