We loved everything about this stay. Rene is very accommodating and Vilma doing our laundry was theee best. Beds are comfortable .Loved having 2 bathrooms! 5 Star all the way !!!!
Quiet , tranquil location but close to restaurants , shops and local attractions. Rene the host has clean spacious rental and he is very attentive . Providing suggestions on places to eat , activities and his restaurant offers live music which I highly recommend. Definitely would recommend and intend to return in the future.
Rene is as good of a host as you can have. He will make every effort to take care of you .
His house is fabulous! Extremely quiet and secure location. 10 minute walk to a modern shopping center and in the other direction it’s an easy walk to the main square. On site house keeper who is always there to help. I can’t recommend this listing high enough. Thank you Rene. I hope I can stay here again.
Beautiful home and property, with an optimal location, only a 20 minute walk to busy downtown area, but far away for a quite and peaceful sleep. Vilma is GREAT, she helped us with a few things. Beautiful terrace ciew, highly recommend this property.
Rene was absolutely the best host during our short stay. Unfortunately, we weren't able to complete the length of our stay due to a medical emergency that prompted us to leave sooner than planned but Rene was not only understanding and supportive but also made it a point to reach out after we left to ensure my daughter was doing ok. The medical emergency had nothing to do with the property or an accident. We will return once again in our future and look to once again stay in this beautiful home. Every inch of this home is gorgous. Thank you again!
This was a beautiful, clean, safe, and quiet home in a gated neighborhood in Antigua. It was about a 10 minute walk from the central city, so it was quiet but still within walking distance or a $3-5 Uber for everything we wanted to do in Antigua. Highly recommend this place!
As soon as we arrived in Antigua, Rene was there to greet us; he gave us a small tour of the house, all the information needed, and his info about who he was. He was very friendly and pleasant. The house was in neat condition and very cozy; it was precisely the description written on the internet; our idea for this vacation was only to relax and forget our daily routines, and the house was perfect for our purpose. We also discovered that Rene owned a very nice establishment where he provided transportation. We decided to go, and ultimately ended up feeling full of energy and younger, so we ended up dancing salsa after many years of not dancing. We had a wonderful vacation that ended up being too short. Would recommend staying here a million times over.
Great location, quiet area, short walk to central Antigua!
Grateful to Señor René, Señora Vilma, Señor Santiago, and Erwin for making my first visit to Guatemala a true success! My friend and I felt safe and truly cared for throughout our stay. Transportation to/from GUA was a breeze, and when we had questions regarding tours we were connected with a driver and tour guide all within reasonable price. The welcome fruit basket was a nice touch, as well as the personal tour of the beautiful property. Would stay here again! Thank you!
Rene (the owner) was extremely nice & easy to communicate with. The property is a beautiful, Spanish colonial style home, situated in a safe neighborhood. Very peaceful, picturesque surroundings. Quick & cheap Uber access made it easy to get to all of Antigua. Highly recommend.
Don Rene is very Attentive And Vilma makes your stay like a luxury hotel with all the care she gives the guests I can't say enough about the property and the great time we have every time I book the home
I enjoyed my stay in this beautiful house, with a quiet atmosphere. The house is well located to walk anywhere in Antigua. Rene and his team are very kind people who are there to assist you in all your needs. This place exceeded my expectations. Thank you, Rene to you and your team for your hospitality. I can't wait to come back again.
Rene is an exceptional host. He arranged transportation for us from the airport, gave recommendations on services and things to do, provided a maid service and laundry and was there for any and all questions.
The place was perfect for our family. The pool table was such a great bonus for two teens. They each had their own room upstairs and the rooftop viewing area was great to see the surrounding mountains.
I would stay here again and again. Just outside the hustle and bustle of the main square but super close to the new fancy mall.
Thank you so much Rene. You are the perfect host.
We enjoyed our stay at Antigua Guatemala. The house exceeded our expectations. The house was clean and the area was quiet. We enjoyed our walks to the market and central park.
Mr. Rene answered all of our questions in a timely manner, Ms. Vilma was super nice, and Mr. Santiago was very punctual.
We definitely want to come back.

René is a fantastic host. The house is amazing. There are amazing views from the rooftop deck. Everything in Antigua is walkable from this house. We had a wonderful experience and intend to stay here again in the future.
The house is wonderful. It is beautiful and comfortable. You have everything you need for an enjoyable stay. The host is very nice and helpful. The maid is also very kind and helpful. The neighborhood is within walking distance to most attractions. We thoroughly enjoyed celebrating New Years in Antigua while staying here.
We stayed here for a girls’ trip. Rene set us up with a driver from the airport. Everything went smoothly and we were given the keys and a tour of the place. The place was super cute and clean. The pictures just don’t do it justice. We were close to town where we walked everywhere and felt safe doing so. I’d definitely stay again.

We loved this property . It was quiet and we were able to walk to everything ! The city center was no more than a 15 min walk away. The host is amazing , he is very accommodating and the pictures do not do the please enough justice ! We greatly enjoyed sitting on the rooftop as well.
This was truly an amazing house! It was beautiful, enclosed and safe, a little area outside for kids to run around, and very solid kitchen, very spacious, living area, and bedroom, and a cool small roof area, which definitely requires caution with kids. Rene was very friendly and communicative, and I just couldn’t have been more amazed with this place.
This was our first visit to Antigua. We did. It know a lot about the area, but this house seemed perfect. We could not have had a better stay anywhere. The house is gorgeous and fully equipped with everything you need. The rooftop terrace is perfect. We walked everywhere and it was great to come back to the house and relax. It’s so quiet and peaceful. Rene is a wonderful host. Santiago picked us up from the airport and we hired him for a few more trips around the area. Highly recommend him. We really enjoyed Rene’s restaurant too. Highly suggest this property and we hope to be back one day.
If you are visiting Antigua, we highly recommend booking this amazing place. Rene was a great host and his housekeeper Vilma was awesome. We stayed here for a week, while my husband and I connected with his family. The house is beautiful and had plenty of space for us and our guests. We especially loved the rooftop deck, where we were able to get some amazing shots of Vulcan de Fuego erupting in the mornings. Being a gated community, we felt very safe. We were also within a short walking distance to markets and the bus terminal. In the evenings, we enjoyed a few rounds of billiards in the upstairs loft. We really enjoyed our trip to Antigua and appreciated having such an amazing place to retreat to at night. Again, we highly recommend staying here when visiting Antigua.
