    We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful 16th-century colonial house in central Antigua, Guatemala. The location couldn’t be better! Everything was within walking distance, making it easy to explore the city. The home itself was stunning, especially the open courtyard, which made the space feel peaceful and authentically colonial.Maria was incredibly helpful throughout our stay and made sure we had everything we needed. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Antigua!

    We had a fantastic week long stay in this beautiful restored Colonial, private residence right in the heart of Antique. A large courtyard with flowers and trees anchors the open space that we loved to hangout in and play games, eat and just enjoy a beer or book. The bedrooms, lounge area restrooms and kitchen all border the courtyard. Clean with modern facilities that don’t take away from the charm of the historic property. Jon was great to work with, fast, responsive and very knowledgeable. Maria was kind enough to agree to cook breakfast for our family of 6 “yum”!! A fantastic family trip!!!!
