Our family enjoyed very much our stay in Antigua, this home is a perfect place to hang out with your kids and family.

Beautiful home with great amenities.

Immaculate and Magdalena and Joycelin would not let us wash a dish. We came for our son’s wedding and would stay here again in a minute

The thing about renting this property is that it creates a conflict with other plans. You just never want to go out and leave the house. Everything about the house exceeded our expectations. From Miguel the administrator to his wonderful staff, they all work hard to Maintain the property and it shows. We spent four amazing days in Monja Blanca and will definitely rent again. I highly recommend it. Though when you rent, Pls take care of all its contents, the house is a jewel of colonial history and it’s gardens and are unparalleled. A truly amazing experience.

We absolutely enjoyed our stay at Monja Blanca. What a beautiful and comfortable home. It was an easy walk into town. Magdelana and Josselyn were amazing and pleasure to be around. Look forward to making another trip back in the future.

We had a really great time at Villa Monja Blanca. The house and its surroundings were absolutely beautiful. The grounds and house staff were helpful and respectful. There were two minor concerns about the heating of the jacuzzi and getting the DVD player to work but those were noted to the Property Manager. The property was easy to locate and security readily available. Magdalena and Jose's breakfast preparation was on time and delicious. All in all, we would stay there again! Thank you for great hospitality!

My wife, our girls, and I enjoyed 3 nights and 4 days with her grandparents and sister. House property is just amazing, and plenty of room. Plenty of space for more. Only downside is during rainy season lots of ants in kitchen area so makes it difficult to cook. That said, we’ll be back! Highly recommend for anyone traveling to Antigua!

This property is so beautiful and has lots of amenities to keep a large group of family or friends entertained. This is my second time staying at this place, and I really enjoyed it. However, around this time of the year, there were a lot of mosquitoes and a lot of dust around the property. Some of us got some serious allergies and got mosquito bites during the meals, since the mosquitoes were right under the dining table. We also experienced lots of ants in the kitchen. That was the only thing we experienced differently this time. Other than that, the manager Miguel and the housekeeper Magdalena make you feel like home. They're so helpful and make your stay unforgettable.

Amazing home! The space was perfect for a family of 12. The pool was a plus for the kids and the master bedroom has views that will take your breath away. The home is kept cleaned and fresh. Our family had an amazing time and the drive to the main town is a simple Five or less minute drive. We didn’t use the lady but they have house keeper she cooks and washes.

Thank you for sharing your lovely home in Antigua. Just the grounds and the house itself was a vacation. Our family ages range from 60 to 6, and everyone had just what they needed to enjoy a first time vacation to Guatemala (except a blowdryer, pack one if you can). The guard gate, house, and yard workers were very friendly. We felt very safe at all times. We were just a few minutes away from wonderful restaurants, shopping, and entertainment. When we return, we will not want to stay anywhere else but here. Thank you!

Quiet location, beautiful gated upscale residential area, gorgeous gardens, spacious rooms in gracious colonial-style villa with casita to match. In addition to the pool and lush landscaping, there’s a covered area with a fireplace and gas BBQ. Also, 2 of the bedrooms and 3 of the gathering areas in the main house had fireplaces. I mention this because we were there in January and this house was designed with keeping it cool in mind. It was cold even though the forecasted temperatures were in the mid-70’s (which only lasted for a few hours in mid-day.). Winter Advice: Take warm robe and slippers, plus more than one sweater or other warm wrap for mornings and evenings. BTW No hair dryers provided. The house manager, Miguel, is very helpful and easy to reach. The mother-daughter team of housekeepers helped make our stay very pleasant and comfortable. Transportation to the Main Square, etc.: TUC TUCs, taxi’s and the “Chicken” bus. Also, walking, but all forms require some fortitude. Each is a bit of an adventure. For the many cobblestone streets in old town we recommend comfortable thick soled shoes. Ask Miguel for restaurant and local tour suggestions...too many good ones to list here! We were 7 adults who loved this haven to return to after our various daytime excursions and mini-adventures! Some of us preferred relaxing at the property to more sightseeing, now and then. We were free to come and go as we pleased! The perfect vacation!!

My family and I really enjoyed to stay at this beautiful and majestic property. The pictures do not show all of the beauty this house encloses. Miguel the property manager was an outstanding host making sure that we were accommodated at all times. Alongside Miguel, Magdalena and her daughter Jocelyn were a great help. They cooked a few meals for us and they were delicious making us feel all the love it comes when you eat with your loved ones in your home country. Some of us got to enjoy the beautiful swimming pool and jacuzzi this house offers, even though it was this time of the year. Every room has its own bathroom and shower. I recommend this property for any family including kids, you'll have a blast!!! ❤

We had an amazing time staying at this house. It is is only a quick 15 minute walk into town and the views are just beautiful from the gardens as well as the balcony. The housekeeper and her daughter, while not speaking any English, are just lovely. Our daughter is adopted from Guatemala so she did enjoy practicing her Spanish talking to the housekeeper's daughter. We did ask the housekeeper about preparing a traditional meal for us one night which she did for a very reasonable rate plus the cost of the groceries. Miguel and Mario did arrange a driver to pick us up from the airport who on the way to the house stopped at a great grocery store so we could start with a few groceries. This was most helpful as we were exhausted and trying to find the grocery store downtown seemed a bit daunting when we had just arrived. There is a little market and 2 great restaurants that are just a 5 minute walk from the house - Joe's Grill and Di Napoli which made it nice that first night. All in all, great trip and great place to stay.

If you are looking for a large, beautiful, comfortable home for your friends or family right outside of Antigua, stop here. This was probably the most beautiful home away from home we have ever rented. We were a family of 11, including young children, parents, and grandparents, and we all just fell in love with the house from the moment we arrived. The art work in the home--photography by the owner, a professional, ceramics by Guatemalan artists, wonderful old and new craft pieces--surrounded us with Guatemalan life and beauty, yet our children/grandchildren felt free to roam, taking care but never having to "tip toe" around the art. The adults could easily walk to the center of Antigua, and the kids rode the 10 minutes with other adults in tuk tuks or cabs. Antigua itself is a very special old town, fun for shopping and great eating, and lots of walking. We hired a local cook for some dinners, and bought food for our breakfast. The house and garden staff are wonderful and helpful. Weather was perfect every day, not too hot, but still warm enough for the dip in the pool and hot tub were ideal by the end of the afternoon. In short, if you are considering Guatemala for vacation, go to Antigua and rent this fabulous villa!

What a wonderful property and staff. We had a comfortable stay. Expect to call a taxi as this property is in the outskirts of the city. Once in the city Q15 tuktuk will take you back. Everyone was very helpful during our stay. Magdalena cooked meals for us at a reasonable price of Q150 per meal, you have to provide additional money for the ingredients that she will go shopping for. The house is huge with breathtaking views.

Gorgeous house, great service and wonderfull location. 100% recomended. One of the best places to stay in Antigua.

We had a wonderful time at this property -- it is an incredible combination of luxury accommodation and a museum-like setting. All the rooms are spacious and comfortable, and the artwork is stunning. The gardens are lovely, full of flowers, and a relaxing place to spend time. The pre-teen and teen kids had a great time in the pool and hot tub, and used the basketball area as well. We definitely would love to stay here again!

This property was perfect for my extended family stay while we were there for a wedding. The place has plenty of space for 4 separate families to all have their own private space as well as having numerous large gathering areas which can accommodate everyone. The landscaping was in great condition and everything was taken care of daily by the cleaners and groundskeepers. The house is very safe and should be strongly considered by any large groups looking to stay in the area. You will not be disappointed.

"Mikes house" was spectacular for our annual family vacation. 9 people aged 10 to 75 all enjoyed the awesome grounds including gorgeous flowers, fantastic swimming pool and even a basketball court for our 13 year old grandson. The home was accessorized with high class artwork, pottery and lots of greenery. There was a wonderful housekeeper who cooked us an authentic Guatemalan meal at our request. We contracted with Miguel for a chauffeur who was prompt and reliable for our various trips. Miguel even helped me when my debit card did not work to obtain quetzals. OUTSTANDING home!

Beautiful villa with all the amenities. Right from the beginning the communication with Miguel was prompt and easy. The villa was so amazing, it was hard to leave, from the beautiful artwork to the fountains to the comfortable beds and linens. Each day the maid and gardner came, they were quiet and we hardly knew they were there. We were a group of 8 people, two families. The house had plenty of room to accommodate us all. Easily the most beautiful place we've stayed. I hope to come back again.

The Vill is a beautiful place. It is a great home to share with several other couples or a alarge family. the grounds are beautiful and the staff is very accommodating. We enjoyed our stay very much. the house had everything we needed and a lot of space for different interests including a great swimming pool that our gran children enjoyed daily. The gazebo near the pool was also an excellent place to socialize in the evenings. We would deffinitley come back.

The photos did not lie. The best thing about the beautiful villa was Miquel, the property manager who helped us with everything--arranging tours, transport, money exchanges, groceries etc. In addition, he has a marvelous personality. The only downside to the villa was the walk to town.

This was the nicest home we have ever rented. The house is very well done; the outside and the inside. Many plants and artwork in every room but all the rooms were very comfortable with several gathering/lounging areas everyone felt at home but not on top of each other. We were two families with two kids each and it worked out beautifully. The master suite was a real treat with its own sitting area and verandah. The garden and pool setting were stunning and we spent a lot of time outside enjoying the garden and the views and once the hot tub warmed up we enjoyed that each evening. The only slight drawback, and not much of one, is that it is a bit far to walk into town, this was remedied by a few Tuk Tuk rides and calling a taxi driver that we became comfortable with. This house definitely warrants 5 stars.

Awesome is the best word to describe this place. Daily maid service, a full time gardener and helper with an incredible property. I spent hours taking pictures of flowers, my family spent hours in the pool and hot tub. The maid even stayed around and helped with a nice dinner( I paid her, of course). The views of the volcanos, the luxurious accommodations, the location, etc. i could go on and on. Miguel the property manager was very thorough in showing us everything, as well as extremely accommodating. This property deserves its own web site, -Mansion Away. I will be back next year. I highly recommend this place to anyone..Warning-this place will spoil you.
