Safe, Clean, and Beautiful property conveniently located in the heart of the city. The Heated pool and hot tub, looks just like the photos was great. The frendly staff was very acomadateing. We utilized Dona Myda for breakfasts and she did a fantastic job, wonderful cook. I would recommend this facility to anyone visiting Antigua, Guatemala.

Great Place

We had so much fun in Antigua with a 6 year old and 13 year old. This house was perfect. Our host was so nice and checked on us to make sure we had everything we needed. We used the food service and it was so yummy and easy. The house is big, open, and clean. Ubers are super easy and cheap from this place. We loved it!

Perfect

I stayed with my 2 daughters and my son in June. We were blown away. I have been traveling for years and this was by far the best ever. Rooms are beautiful and large, kitchen was to die for. The kids used the pool and hot tub and The location was central. We found it a short enoyable walk to the central market and anywhere else we decided we wanted to stroll. Great service and hospitallity We will be back 100% for sure.

BEST Place to Stay in Antigua!!

Philippa was an excellent host! She was very helpful and made clear how to get into the house a week before we arrived. She was very easy to get in touch with throughout the entire process. We couldn't have picked a better place to stay while in Antigua. It was central, safe, absolutely gorgeous, had great views, was clean, and very well equipped! She even had a bottle of wine waiting for us. Our experience at her home could not have been better.

The property is removed from the main street. Very secure as you have to pass through a gate manned by a guard 24/7. The pool is small, but perfect for relaxation. The pool is shared among 3 other casitas that share a common courtyard. We were always able to enjoy the pool hottub whenever we wanted. Highly recommend Maida's breakfast services-- delicious, prompt, and very typical Guatemalan recipes and fresh fruits. Fast, reliable WiFi with excellent reception throughout the house and in the courtyard. In-house laundry is a plus. A 10-15 minute walk to most major sites in Antigua. We will return!

What a stay!!

The house and the pool are just amazing. So beautiful and comfortable to stay. There is no air conditioning but the fans in the rooms managed to keep the temperature comfortable. The shared pool and hot tub were such a treat. The location was great. The area was very safe with guards who were very friendly. Flor was very helpful and made our stay truly perfect. I would highly recommend this property.

2019 Rivera Family Vacation

I am not going to bore you with a bunch of fluff. If anyone is out there looking to stay in Antigua and your bouncing back and forth from listings- SHAME on you for skipping this one. This property is perfect. It is safe (24 hour security). It is clean (constant housekeeping and gardening). It is huge, lots of space to relax and be alone. I stayed here for 10 days with my wife and two small children, my wife's sister, her husband and their two small children. Plenty of room; washer and dryer, pool and hot tub, beautiful views. There is staff available to cook meals for you. This was one of the best things we ever did while staying here. Waking up to a full course ethnic breakfast was amazing. Extremely professional, humble, clean and respectful staff. Kitchen was left clean when they were finished and the food was delicious. My children cried the morning we left. They did not want to leave. You will regret choosing another place to stay. It doesn't get any better then this. The communication was excellent with the owner and property manager. The staff at the home were constantly help full and respectful. I will be returning. No doubt about it.

Clean, comfortable, safe.

The great stay started with Flor's excellent communication providing us with information about the house. She was always very prompt and responsive. We arrived very early and she helped us secure our luggage prior to check-in time. Flor helped arrange to have someone cook us an excellent breakfast on our last morning for about $4-5/person. This saved a lot of time as we packed in the morning before heading out to our next adventure. The house and pool were clean and maintained daily. The whole neighborhood is very quiet and being in a gated community made us feel safer. The location is not central but it's a short walk to the central park and even shorter walk to the super market where we could buy cold beers. I would definitely stay here again.

Fantastic place to stay in Antigua!

The staff at this property is phenomenal! They are very attentive and respond quickly to any needs. The homes are large, with lots of room for a big group and plenty of space to lounge. The location is beautiful and in a very safe, gated community. We were able to walk any where in the city within 10-20 minutes comfortably. The only downside to the property is the lack of A/C. This is not terrible, but we kept the windows open for air circulation and had a problem with mosquitoes. We loved the lady available to cook meals. Everything was delicious and very reasonably priced. We would recommend this site if you are traveling to Guatemala!

Perfect setting

We rented Casa Espiritu Santa Villa for a Birth family reunion. It was perfect for our two families to get to know each other. The courtyard was breath taking and the villa was perfect. We hired a cook for several of the days and I can not say enough about how delicious the meals were, always fresh and very good. The property manager Flor was delightful. She was very helpful and nearby if we needed her, even on Sunday morning. We had 4 bedrooms all with baths and the kids really enjoyed the pool and hot tub. The area is very secure and within walking distance of everything you may need. They had fresh flowers delivered to the villa almost daily and the housekeepers were always on hand if needed. We felt like royalty for the week. Thank you Paola for sharing your beautiful Villa. Gracias to everyone that helped us during our stay, from the security guards to the pool guy, Gracias!

Great House and we loved the pool

We had a really nice visit with our family. My son (12) and I loved the pool and Jacuzzi. The house had all of the amenities that we needed to make our trip comfortable. The house is located close to the central square and near many restaurants. We will definitely stay here again in the future.

We were a group of 8staying at this property. There are as plenty of space for everyone. The house was extremely clean and had everything we needed. The staff and owner all went out of their way to make us feel welcome. They provide excellent pre arrival information and are very quick to reply. . It was a 10 minute walk to the central square and even shorter to the market.. an overall amazing rental with beautiful decorating.

Big, Clean, Comfortable House. Friendly And Effective Staff

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Espiritu Santo from November 8-16, 2015. The staff were absolutely wonderful -- friendly, helpful, and good at their jobs. Everything in the house worked well (although we struggled for the first day or so to understand how a couple of the showers worked, resulting in a couple cold showers - user error). If anyone ever asks me where to stay in Antigua, I will without reservation suggest that they consider this collection of townhouses, which all face a common courtyard. The townhouses all are within a small, secure neighborhood protected by a wall. The gate into the neighborhood is guarded around the clock by a security staff. The good experience started well before our visit. The detailed and timely information regarding the house, the rental terms, and the city was first rate. Also, free wifi is available.

Delightful

This place is delightful. In a quiet corner of Antigua (and surrounded by walls that make it even quieter), the house is spacious and warm at the same time. Philippa and the team were very welcoming, attentive and organized. Their welcome book was very thorough and gave us some great ideas for stuff to do. House could easily accommodate eight friendly people without crowding, the pool is very inviting and there is a beautiful view of the volcano from the upstairs terrace. Walkable to just about anything in Antigua, including great restaurants. Highly recommended!

Perfect place for weekend or longer

I rented the house because it had king sized beds in two of the bedrooms.it was perfect for us as we were four adults and three children . The pool and hot tub are a great attraction and even though it rained three of the four days we were there and we did not go out,we did not feel cramped as the house and the bedrooms are a very nice size.there is a nice TV set and two nice size tables where we played board games. The kitchen was also comfortable to prepare meals. We did get in the hot tub the last day and someone came to turn it on for us even though it was a holiday. The person who came to clean was fast and efficient. I would go back again and again and hope to do so soon with a girls getaway. It is very close to the artisan market and not faraway from the center of town We had a car but if it had not been raining, we would have probably walked into town. I felt very safe as it is a gated community. The owner and manager were very accessible and answered all my concerns. I am only disappointed that I can't rent it in the near future as it seems to be booked up for awhile but as soon as we can, we will go back.

#1 Family-Friendly, Luxurious Accommodation in Antigua, Guatemala!

This is my 2nd time staying at one of Philippa's properties. Both places and experiences could not have been better. They surpassed my expectations. Our party included elderly people, young adults, and young children. The house was large enough that everyone had their own space and weren't cramped. The kitchen had all the necessities so we would just walk a few minutes to the shop and grab eggs, beans and tortillas to make breakfast. It was nice to have everyone together and not have to worry about paying a restaurant bill or deal with our kids getting bored at a restuarant. I felt extremely safe, as the property is gated. The amenities were incredible. The pool and volcano views are so picturesque! It was lovely to have a washing machine and dryer, especially with kids in the house! Pure bliss! I look forward to my next stay!!

Best accommodation in Antigua!

I can't thank you enough for such a wonderful vacation home! The home exceeded our expectations in every way. It was so nice to enjoy the spaciousness of the home and the beautiful gardens that accompanied it. As you know, we were there with 2 other families who rented two of your other homes in the same complex. It was like we had our own resort to ourselves! All of us enjoyed ourselves to the fullest. This is a gem you have in Antigua. The pictures of the house are just like it is but you really must come here to see it youself. The view of the volcano was spectacular! The cleaning staff were unintrusive and very friendly. The house was always cleaned spotless! They even did a little ironing for us as the clothes we brought for the wedding just needed a light pressing. We will definitely stay there again when we return. I almost forgot.....Sophia operates a very exclusive and professional travel service for you and your guests. The level of service she provides is exceptional! She was always available and accommodating even at unreasonable last minute requests. I was having trouble renting a car and decided last minute to use her service. She provided me with a driver and van to go visit our friends who were in Monterrico. The extra cost (minimal and worth the extra dollars) to have someone else drive who knows the route not to mention the driving habits of locals, was well worth it. Our driver was knowledgable of the local area and was able to answer our many questions along the route to the beach. Same for our airport transfers...5 star service in new shuttle vans. Very impressive! This level of service is outstanding, it's appreciated and worth every penny. We did a lot of looking around at other houses when we were there and I can tell anyone who is wondering, you will not want to leave once you arive!

Idyllic house rental in Antigua, Guatemala

Casa La Hermita is the kind of vacation rental you hate to give too much praise because we don't want to it get too popular. Its idyllic. The view from the master bedroom and private terrace is breathtaking. Being so close to the markets including the westernized supermarket also helped to make our stay comfortable. The gated community which has some beautifully preserved remnants from its time as a 16th century monastery felt very safe. The neighbors very friendly. The house is an antique so if you don't like creaky, 200 year old doors and cavernous ceilings, then the Marriott is for you. Otherwise, you won't be disappointed in this rental. My family is looking forward to our vacation at Casa La Hermita next year.

Eight was Not a crowd

All I can say is WOW! We left Antigua yesterday after sharing this lovely home with three other couples for a week. The home is much better than the pictures! All four couples said they would stay there again. There is enough room to congregate in the kitchen, dining room, patio or living room, and there is enough space in each of the bedrooms to afford some time away from the gang. We were the couple who did not have an ensuite bathroom, we shared a bath with another couple. We did not mind at all. I would make one suggestion...to add a dressing table to the room we stayed in, I sat on the bench to apply makeup with a hand mirror...it worked out ok...but a dressing table would have been grand! For those visiting, be sure to pick up extra Toilet paper as they do not provide...and the bath towel situation is a bit hard to figure out. Other than that, enjoy the home, Antigua, and the people of Guatemala. Visit the Vahalla Macadamia Nut Farm, the owners Lorenzo and Emily are quite colorful!
