Beautiful Colonial Home Set in Old Antigua City

We spent a week in this house. It is in a great location, in walking distance to central square and all the sites. It is also near both the amazing marketplace and a supermarket for convenience. The house is as beautiful as the posted pictures and it was kept sparking clean. The open courtyard with beautiful gardens allows access to the outdoors while maintaining privacy. We really appreciated the large and very functional kitchen because we bought fresh vegetables and meat at the marketplace and cooked most of our meals. The assortment of fruits and vegetables grown locally is just amazing. Robin provided a great guide and information for the house and the local sites and restaurants. (We loved Hector's!). Spent a day at the Santa Teresita Spa with thermal pools and massages - also highly recommended! We felt very safe in the gated community and actually throughout the entire city. This rental exceeded our expectations!

There is truly no way we could express in 2500 characters our satisfaction with Robin’s home and hospitality.

Our family of nine enjoyed three full months in Antigua and Robin’s house was a perfect refuge after traveling, language school and adventuring throughout Guatemala.

Bedrooms: We all slept very comfortably in the four beautifully decorated bedrooms. The beds were very comfortable and clean. The screens on the windows and doors made for a very comfortable climate in each room. There was ample closet space as well.

Bathrooms: Hot water! Beautiful showers and even a soaking tub in the upstairs shared bathroom. Wonderful tile throughout.

Kitchen: Every appliance and kitchen utensil you could ever want or need. We had so much fun cooking each day and eating breakfast at the small kitchen breakfast table. The dining room was perfect for our large family and even additional people for a thanksgiving feast.

Outdoors: The gardens and the terrazas were absolutely breathtaking, perfect for morning coffee and reading. Views of the volcanoes and the surrounding hills were ideal for contemplation and relaxation.

Staff: Virginia and Carlos were the added bonus for out time in Antigua. Their attention to service and constant smiles made us feel comfortable and welcome. They not only helped keep the house in order, they had great advice for us to enjoy every moment of our time there. They embodied Guatemalan hospitality.

The neighborhood: During our stay, we never felt unsafe or in danger. The neighborhood is guarded 24 hours a day. The men at the gate were always friendly and protective of our children. We witnessed on a few occasions visitors stopped at the gate before getting clearance to enter. The grounds were well maintained and the neighbors were friendly.

Overall, this house is something out of a dream. You will not be disappointed. It is better than the pictures even show. Robin is the best owner that we have ever interacted with on VRBO. Look no further for your Antigua vacation home!

Robin's home is the perfect place to stay to enjoy all that Antigua and Guatemala have to offer. Inside and out, it is comfortable, inviting, clean, well-appointed, and safe. Her staff is amazing and helpful. Everything about this house exceeded our expectations and we cannot wait to go back.

robin was a great hostess, attentive and thoughtful.

We spent a great three months staying in the house. Comfortable and well situated. We will definitely rent this house again.
