Nice.

This is a beautiful colonial-style home in a quiet gated community, away from the traffic congestion in Antigua, and yet just a 10-minute drive or Uber ride from the Parque Central. The garden and pool are lovely — the bougainvillea and jacaranda were in bloom while we were there and birdsong filled the yard. There are several terraces with spectacular views of the volcanos. We especially enjoyed having our morning coffee overlooking the Volcan de Agua (an extinct volcano!) The villa is so spacious that we could always find a peaceful spot to read or take a nap. The house is beautifully decorated with Mayan textiles, pillows, artwork, hammocks and swings, but a few tweaks are needed to spruce up the kitchen and bathrooms to match the elegance of the house. The faucets/handles in the bathrooms and the kitchen sink are loose. The kitchen sink faucet needs to be replaced. Also the shower curtain in the master bathroom needs to be replaced. We cooked and barbecued quite a few meals but would have appreciated a better equipped kitchen with a frying pan in good condition, mixing bowls and some glass storage containers. On arrival we were welcomed by Alicia, the caretaker, and Rolando the gardener. Alicia was a terrific help to our family—the first couple of days we were without a car and she guided us to the nearby supermarket, a bakery where we could get a graduation cake for our daughter and a tortilla stand where we found the freshest tortillas that we’ve ever had!

Everything was excellent about the villa except very warm at night. Adding ac units should be considered.

Our family spent a wonderful week over the New Year's holiday at this beautiful and comfortable Villa. The landscaping is amazing, and the home has numerous rooms and outdoor areas conducive to relaxation and quiet contemplation. The community is gated and safe, an easy and quick 10 minute drive to the heart of Antigua, and the property caretakers were exceptionally kind and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay.

My words cannot sufficiently describe the beauty, the tranquility and the fresh air that is breathed in the Mayan-Antigua house. My family of 7 members including me stayed in this house for this past Holy Week . We really enjoyed the jacuzzi, swimming pool and above all the beautiful gardens with beautiful tropical flowers including banana plants. The bedrooms were very comfortable and we enjoyed dinner in the main dining room with my family. Miss Alicia and Mr. Rolando were very attentive. I appreciate their quick response to our calls. Mr. Reynaldo, thank you very much for your help. Definitely will come back. This is a very secure and clean place to stay.

I particularly don't enjoy Guatemala city much because of traffic, that is why we rented outside the city. The home was everything and more of what we expected. It was beautiful, cozy, perfect weather, and let's not forget the hosts; they were super nice and helpful. If you want to enjoy your stay and relax away from the craziness of the city, I definitely recommend you stay at this home.

stunning property

This is a beautiful home in a gated neighborhood with breathtaking views. The grounds are colorful with gorgeous flowers and foliage. We loved using the large hot tub and the pool. The home is nicely furnished with comfortable sofas in the family room and comfortable beds in each bedroom. It would have been helpful to have written instructions on how to use the appliances, the tv, turning on one of the showers was a little tricky. There is a property manager who is very helpful but having written info is important because you often don't know that you need instructions for something until you are ready to use it. Also, a few more bed pillows would have been nice. The dogs across the street barked for several hours a day, so if you are bothered by barking dogs, you should be aware of this. Overall, we enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home.
