Ria is the best VRBO host I have ever encountered. From the very beginning she was patient and informative with every question I had prior to booking. Before my arrival she kindly sent me a pin so I would know exactly where to go after my late night flight and surprised me with snacks.The condo was quiet and comfortable and the grounds and pool were even more beautiful than the pictures. The staff were exceptionally helpful checking me in late at night and gave me a ride into town to catch my shuttle when I checked out. I especially appreciated the dehumidifier in the condo and was really missing it when I went to Lake Atitlan.Perfect stay. I would love to visit again.
I am glad I found this little place. Not so close to the hustle and bustle of the centre of Antigua. Walking distance is quite feasible, and the shuttle is available and very accommodating. The place is clean and welcoming. The staff is pleasant and always ready to assist you in any way they can. The host, Ria, is just amazing. She went out of her way to make this stay an amazing experience. For a first timer in Guatemala for a longer stay than usual, this place was for me a nest away from home. Thank you Ria.
Very beautiful villa and nice staff! Riaâs place was nice and cozy. We had reliable Wi-Fi to work from home for 2 months ( both working from home , conference calls , downloading data etc )
Daily shuttle was very convincent and weekly cleaning . We would come Again!
We stayed here for 5 weeks (we ended up extending from 4 weeks because we liked it so much!). It was the perfect space for what we needed. My spouse was able to work remotely - the internet connection was great. Ria was so easy to communicate with and the security/admin team is great. The pool area is a nice plus! We would recommend staying here :)
We had a wonderful time. Ria was sweet as candy, and her home was clean and pristine. The bed was incredibly soft, the WiFi was fast and reliable, the kitchen was fully loaded, and the entire complex of condominiums was clean and beautiful. There was a cleaning every week, and laundry service on site, as well as a pool. Itâs only a 10 minute walk from the center of town, and itâs right on the main road, yet there were beautiful views of the surrounding hills all around the complex. Highly recommend!
I absolutely loved Rias unit and this entire property. This is my second time staying at the villas and am sure to come back in the future. The property is beautiful + well maintained, wifi is fast + reliable and Rias home is stocked with all the household items you need. The villas are a short, safe walk into town (about 15 mins to the main square) and if you donât feel like walking there is a free shuttle service which is extremely convenient for when you need things like groceries. The staff is super friendly and Ria was incredibly responsive to any request. I highly recommend staying here. Thank you Ria!
I am a volunteer in Guatemala for six weeks and wanted to stay in a safe, comfortable and reasonably priced place. Ria was extremely helpful and friendly. We had the chance to meet and I really enjoyed our conversations. The property is beautifully landscaped, pool was fabulous, grounds keepers were friendly and the people living/staying there were always pleasant. I highly recommend this property and in particular being able to know that Ria is there to help. I will stay here again!
in my lifetime I have travel to four continents visited over 30 countries and I can say that Rhea Stout is one of the best hosts I have ever experienced at a lodging facility.
Thank you Ria!
This was by far the best VRBO we have ever stayed in!
The property is so well maintained, grounds gorgeous, unit very comfortable and clean. Ria is attentive and quick to respond. Very safe, having a van to take us to the center of town a real plus.
Perfect relaxing oasis, still close to everything Antigua
This residence exceeded my expectations! Not only are the grounds beautiful, clean and quiet, but the bedding is soft and comfortable, the hot water and water pressure were perfect, and the living area felt homey too. It was so easy to use the on-site shuttle anytime. I also walked into town. At the end of a busy day in the bustling town, it was so nice to be only minutes to quiet relaxation here in my own âhome!â Oh and donât forget the heated pool/perfect at night, especially! Everyone was attentive to my needs and smiled and made the stay feel fantastic!
Pictures do not do it justice. This place is beautiful. The grounds were always clean with flowers growing everywhere. Ria is top notch. She exceeded our expectations with her hospitality. We loved coming back to this villa every night after a day of walking around Antigua. The pool was nice and relaxing and the outside seating areas were nice. We highly recommend this villa to anyone wanting to visit Antigua but doesn't want the noise. Thank you Ria.
Beautiful property. Well appointed, comfortable, clean and convenient. Great little areas all around for reading and relaxing. Ria was a great host and went above and beyond to assist us.
Iâve had the pleasure of staying in different Villas on the property but this one will for ever stand out to me the most. The villa is fully equipped in everything you may need for your stay. Making your stay feel just like home. The owner Ria welcomed us with a lovely note at the villa providing us with a phone to be able to communicate out here
(best minor detail wish more ppl would do) and her husbands personal number In case we needed anything. Location is perfect and if needed the property has a free shuttle to drive you in and out of Antigua.
Thank you Ria and Carlos for allowing us to stay at your lovely home.
The music they played for hours, mainly on the weekends, was annoying at 11:00 at night, but other than that, we enjoyed out stay. The swimming pool, which was opened most days was glorious.
From the personalized touches for our honeymoon, to the constant communication and answering of questions before and during the trip- this home was the perfect place for my husband and I to stay. The home was neat, clean and well stocked for our week. We felt very safe and appreciated the shuttle to and from the city! I highly recommend this home for your next trip to Antigua!
After a busy week of traveling in northern Guatemala, it was refreshing to meet the charming owner of this villa, Ria. She graciously made time to meet us at our hotel and drive us to the property, which is just beyond the perimeter of colonial Antiqua. The property is gorgeous. Absolutely first class. As described, the unit is part of a small, private complex; yet, it is quaint and intimate. The unit itself is comfortable and well appointed. The walk to and from town was convenient and it felt safe. Iâd say it takes 15-20 minutes to get to the center with breaks to look in the shops and cafes along the way. A free shuttle service is provided as well (a pleasant surprise!). My girlfriend and I are experienced travelers - if we return to Antigua, weâll try to stay here first. Thank you, Ria!

I moved from the Netherlands to wonderful Guatemala in 1999 for a job, feeling truly at home here. I decided to live in the beautiful town of Antigua, and this is how I ended up buying this lovely place. While the villa was built, I met my (now) husband Carlos and the plans to move into the studio changed, as we soon saw our family completed with our daughter and dogs - we just wouldn't fit. We now live in a small village nearby, Pastores, and it's easy for us to swing by if you need anything. I want the villa to be everything I personally wish for when renting such a property or going on vacation, so suggestions for improvements are always welcome and will be addressed whenever possible. Carlos and I really wish for you to enjoy Antigua and Guatemala for a reasonable price, and simply feel at home. We hope to welcome you soon.
What I most love about the villa is its proximity to the city center of Antigua, combined with the comfort, quietness and beauty the place provides. The villa has all you may need, and the condominium has beautiful areas to sit down and relax or work. The heated pool and wine cellar provide additional options for relaxation.
