My wife, Constance and I stayed at Catherines lovely home for a week in May 2011. We found it a wonderful home - spacious, comfortable, great views, quiet and a architectural pleasure. It is a two story, five level home that is of superior construction with wonderful landscaping. The setting is out in the country in the middle of a plantation. It is situated inside an enclosed compound with two other homes, and there should be no concerns for your safety or your personal items you leave in the house while touring the area. The setting is on a hilltop with views of the countryside including two volcanoes. It is a little off the beaten track, but once found gives one the opportunity to enjoy the country, but is an easy drive into Antiqua with its many restaurants and shopping.
We enjoyed going to town to be typical tourists, but looked forward to getting back out to the country to enjoy the leisurely time spent there. I spent a great deal of time just walking with the dog (Barley) along the landscaped walkways aroung the house. We had our own rental car, but the option to pay a little more to use the house car is very reasonable. The house is located near the village of Ciudad Vieja, an historic town near to Antiqua. The access road to the house is a little primitive, but well worth the effort as you will see when you enter the compound and drive up the hill to the home at the top. We look forward to returning at some time in the future. We found Catherine to be kind and most informative. There is a 24 hour guard and a day gardener to give any assistance needed. You will enjoy your stay at this lovely home.
