Robin was outstanding as a host!!! The house was more than fully furnished and gorgeous. Better than pics with art everywhere. The views were incredible from the upper floors.

Casa Bella is the perfect name for this absolutely beautiful house & even better than pictures show! The room not shown much, the living room, has 2 comfy couches, a wall of bookshelves & a rocking chair. There's the most beautiful set of stained glass windows with a cushioned bench below to sit & relax. Plenty of room for our team meetings each morning. The 2 bedrooms upstairs have a Jack & Jill bath which worked perfect for us. I've stayed in Antigua many times but this house was by far the biggest & best; screens on the courtyard doors that close after you walk through them & more flowers than I've ever seen! Fully stocked kitchen! Virginia was great & gardener didn't get in our way at all. Views from the 2 upper levels are breathtaking! We loved the swings on the lower & upper patios & plenty places to sit & enjoy the sounds of the fountain & birds. Perfectly located, just two blocks to the craft market! I only wish we had more time to have spent in the house but duty called - maybe next time Robin!

Everything with the rental was very easy and that’s how I like it. All our needs were met and/or exceeded.

We rented this home for 1 week. It is incredible in every way: location, view from the rooftop deck, decoration, beautiful rooms, safety. We will definitely be back!!

My husband is from Antigua so we were bringing my family there to meet his family. We needed a big enough place to stay and this was perfect! The house was beautiful with amazing views! Always clean, safe area. And close enough to everything you want to do in Antigua. Robin gave great detailed information about the house and responded quickly with any questions. I would highly recommend this house to anyone!

Wow! What a wonderful property and location. I honestly can say the photos on VRBO do not do justice to this property- it is spectacular. It feels like living in a museum, but also very homey. Virginia was phenomenal and very kind and friendly. Hire her to cook for you one or more meals, you won’t regret it. We were 5 adults and everyone enjoyed their privacy with the many rooms and en-suites, very spacious and lots of wonderful outdoor space. LOVED IT AND WILL DEFINITELY GO BACK.

We spent two weeks in this amazing house (3 adults). It is in a great location, within easy walking distance to the central square, restaurants, and all the attractions within Antigua. The house is located within a secure gated community in a quiet residential neighborhood; however, it is also very near to both the local marketplace and a supermarket for convenience. I would say the house is even more beautiful than the posted pictures and it was kept very clean. Robbin maintains the house as if she were living in it every day herself. The décor is very beautiful and tasteful, and the atmosphere is one that could only be achieved by a person who loves beauty and is an artist at heart. The open courtyard with beautiful gardens allows access to the outdoors while maintaining privacy, and the container plants on the second floor create a tranquil place to relax. The views of the volcanos from the upper floor are outstanding. The bedrooms are spacious and beautifully decorated. We also really appreciated the large and functional kitchen because we bought fresh vegetables and meat at the nearby markets and cooked many enjoyable meals ourselves. The assortment of fruits and vegetables grown locally is just amazing. We felt very safe in the gated community and throughout the entire city. I have rented many houses around the world I can definitely say this one exceeded our high expectations!

Casa Bella was a beautiful home to stay in while visiting family in Antigua. It was extremely comfortable and beautifully furnished with all the conveniences you could ever want in the kitchen and elsewhere. It is a great house for families.

Our family need a place to stay where we could host my father-in-law who lives in Guatemala and other in-laws from the U.S. The house worked out perfectly and was very comfortable for us to spread out in the various rooms and two levels. Virginia provided terrfic house cleaning and cooking. The garden is spectacular. Robin, the owner, was very helpful and always responsive to my questions. The house was a great location being close to town and an easy walking distance to the center of town. At the same time, it was located in a very quiet area which is unusual for Guatemala. Our experience was perfect and I highly recommend a stay in Casa Bella.

We spent 6 weeks in this amazing home. We had 4 adults and 4 kids and fit perfectly. The location is close enough to walk anywhere in Antigua but just far enough away to not be as loud. It is in a guarded subdivision and we never had any worries about security. The owner referred us to her driver and we used the Virginia and Maricruz as cooks. The food and care was amazing, clean, safe and delicious. Internet was fast enough to run zoom meetings without and issues. 5 stars all the way!

A wonderful location. Convenient to everything yet quiet ! Clean safe beautiful neighborhood. Spacious ! Floor plan that provides privacy for everyone! Lots of comfortable outdoor living space with shade and delicious breezes! Well equipped kitchen! Robin has thought of every details to make your stay safe and easy!

As always, amazing stay! Robin and housekeeper Virginia are top notch. Best place to stay in all of Antigua!

We are frequent Guatemala visitors with two small children. We typically stay for months at a time. In the years we’ve been coming to Antigua this has, by far, been the most beautiful home with an excellent experience to match! Thank you- we will be back!

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.

If you want safety, security, quiet, beauty and views amidst luxury in a perfect location, choose Casa Bella! The minute I came through the front security gate into the compound, I knew that Casa Bella was going to be exceptional in every way. From the chaos of the city streets, I found a sense of serenity and calmness in the surrounding beauty of the homes. As I stepped through the front door of the house, the inner garden greeted me with lush plantings and flowers of every color. The red hibiscus blooms were the size of dinner plates. The kitchen was welcoming, well-equipped, functional and kept sparkling clean by the housekeeper. The living areas were spotless and comfortable. The two ground level bedrooms had private baths with walk-in showers and shared a small garden. One of my guests had limited mobility and was well accommodated. The two large upper bedrooms shared a lavish bathroom and many amenities. They opened onto a huge terrace with 360-degree views of volcanoes and the old city. A spiral staircase led to another terrace with the highest views in the neighborhood. (We enjoyed many hours on these garden terraces watching sunrises, sunsets, full moons, volcanoes and shooting stars.) Casa Bella is actually a living museum of Guatemalan art. There are collections of paintings, sculptures and textiles throughout the property that thrill they eye and speak of the local people and their customs. The listing description and the virtual tour were accurate. The owner provided useful information about the workings of the house. Also strategic suggestions to help make our trip enjoyable. She gave tips that aren't found in guide books and stayed in touch. She anticipated our every need, including two house mobile phones. There were no bad surprises, only happy experiences. The driver/guide she suggested was a jewel. He negotiated the city traffic and mountain roads with skill. One of my guests asked me to mention Meson Panza Verde for a special dinner. I suggest a trip up to Tenedor del Cerro for Sunday brunch for the views, food, art and people watching. All five of us agreed that the trip to Lake Atitlan was the highlight of the trip.

Very spacious and well maintained. Close to town and shopping. Full time security. House keeper was very helpful and even cooked and shopped for us when we asked. Outdoor crafts market is only a few blocks away. Town center has changed since my last visit 8 years ago, many more shops and variety of excellent cafes and restaurants at reasonable prices. Very quaint, cobblestone streets and a classic town square with a fountain surrounded by benches to sit and watch the world go by.

My family and I (husband, teenage son, and 65 year-old mom) stayed at this beautiful home in Antigua for a week and everything was absolutely perfect! The home is very clean, spacious, well organized, and decorated to perfection with special attention to every detail. Wherever I sat in the home, I enjoyed seeing how every photo, knick knack, furniture, etc., had a purpose and flowed so beautifully with the decoration theme of the entire house. The inside garden is lush and was in full bloom during our stay. I enjoyed waking up early to the tranquil sounds of birds flying around the gardens as we drank our coffee. Julio, the gardener, does an excellent job keeping the garden looking its best. The home also includes a wonderful housekeeper, Virginia, who is excellent. Our days were busy seeing the sights, so it was always nice to return at the end of the day to a clean home. Virginia also offers separate cooking services ~ She is a GREAT cook! The home is located within a gated community surrounded by lovely landscape and brick roads. Everything is within walking distance. There is a lot to see in Antigua. Hotel Santo Domingo is a must see. We have rented about ten vacation homes in the last several years, but Casa Bella has been the nicest of all the homes we've ever rented, hands down. I highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Antigua. We will certainly stay at Casa Bella again on our next visit to Antigua.

My husband and I used this beautiful home as a base the week before our daughter's wedding in Antiqua. We had a busy week of activities prior to the wedding. We were there basically to sleep and organize gift baskets. We had guests arrive for three of the nights and they enjoyed the place too. Although, we weren't relaxing in this home, it would be perfect place to enjoy the lovely surroundings. The kitchen was the most equipped of any vacation rental we have ever stayed in. The owner provided a nice handbook and it was obvious she had spent a lot of effort on this. Owner wants to ensure that your every question is answered. We paid the housekeeper in advance of our stay to procure some fresh seafood from the seller who come to the complex every Monday. So, when we arrived late on Monday night, we had a delicious meal prepared. The table was nicely set too. It is very safe location and everything was within walking distance. The home has lots of interesting artwork, comfortable furnishings and a beautiful garden area. You can see the three volcanos from the rooftop terrace which form a lovely backdrop. The owner has a wonderful contact of a capable and pleasant driver that speaks english. You won't be disappointed if you rent this home. When I come back the next time I hope to relax and enjoy the surroundings.....

My family and I stayed for a week at Casa Bella in Antigua. The house is immaculately kept with beautiful gardens throughout and so much natural light. We were a family of four and had more than enough room to lounge together as well as privately. The rooftop deck off the master suite is the perfect setting for a full view of the agua volcano with your morning coffee. I would highly recommend this beautiful home to anyone wanting to stay within walking distance to town who is looking for a home away from home. It is in a secure gated community near the artists markets, restaurants and more. Our only issue was having to leave. :)

9 of us friends and family stayed in Casa Bella for two weeks. It far exceeded expectations. The place is so charming with wonderful artwork everywhere. Lots of outdoor space with upstairs patio and downstairs courtyard. The kitchen was fully equipped and the high quality of construction made for an impeccably, well functioning house. The location is ideal, in central Antiqua yet in a private complex that's safe and quiet. And the maid that comes with the deal is really sweet and responsive. This was a hell of a deal for the modest price. If you choose to just hangout at the house, its still worth the trip to Antigua!

We had an absolutely perfect time at Casa Bella. Honestly, it is one of the most beautiful places I have ever stayed. The house is so incredibly comfortable and beautifully decorated. It is just a few blocks to the market, and we cooked most of our meals in the well-stocked kitchen. I can't wait to go back to Antigua, and don't want to stay anywhere but Casa Bella!

Casa Bella is a beautiful home with everything a visitor to Antigua might need. We stayed there one month with 3 teenage grandchildren who really appreciated the home, the maid service and the location. The owner is extremely helpful and easy to deal with. We don't think there is a better rental in Antiqua.

My family (husband, three small children) spent three months at this lovely house and enjoyed every day of it. From the day we arrived we felt at home - the decor is so lovely and the house so well appointed - and we were sorry to leave on the last day. We felt it was the perfect location from which to walk into the central part of town, but just far enough to not be disturbed by the late night revelers or occasional festivities that can get loud right around the park. We felt we had a fairly good sense of what we'd be walking into from the listing description and photos. But I feel the house is more lovely in person, and some aspects are difficult to capture in pictures. The view of the volcano from upstairs is spectacular. The kitchen is spacious and bright. The living area is perfect for hosting others or a quiet night at home. The bedrooms are big and comfortable. We had many friends from Antigua visit during our stay, and all of them noted how beautiful the house was and that it was the nicest vacation rental they'd seen in town. Virginia, the housekeeper, keeps the house sparkling clean and is also able to answer all sort of questions about the city and help in many ways. She's friendly and helpful and was great with our small children. Robin was very easy to work with and quick to address any issue we had (there weren't many even for a 3 1/2 month stay). I would highly recommend this house to anyone visiting Antigua.

We stayed in this home for a month with our 2 daughters (age 8 and 6) and with another family of 4 with kids age 7 and 5. We had a wonderful time. We were so impressed with the shopping, site seeing, dining, and learning opportunities in Antigua, and especially impressed with how friendly the people are. We felt comfortable and safe at the Casa Bella home. We had a lot of help from the housekeeper Virginia and Ruben (the driver that Robin recommended). The home has all the amenities you would need (cooking supplies, movies, dinner party supplies, reliable wifi) and is conveniently located on one edge of Antigua. You are a couple blocks from the where you can find tuk tuks and buses, 4 blocks from the center of town, and a 5 minute walk to the grocery store.

The home is lovely and well equipped. The location is also great just a few short blocks away from all the activity. We felt very safe in the small development too. We would definitely stay here again. Robin is wonderful to work with too.

What a better way to share our love of Antigua with family and friends than to have our wedding there?! Much to our surprise, we soon had 19 people joining us for our special day -- and needed to find a place for several of our guests to stay. Luck was on my side when I happened upon Casa Bella on VRBO! One never knows what to expect from online photos, but as soon as we walked in the doorway of Casa Bella, we felt like we were home. The house is incredibly warm, tastefully decorated and just enough out of the center of town to be quiet, yet safe. Robin was very accommodating and helped us coordinate a catered dinner upon our arrival, as well as transportation for some of our guests who arrived early. Virginia kept the house spotless, the laundry done -- and was a wonderful Spanish tutor for my new father-in-law. We couldn't have asked for a more wonderful place to stay and can't wait to return!
