We thought we had seen the best of Antigua over the years. Wrong. This place is amazing. Close enough to town to walk, but far enough away to be quiet. It's like walking into a museum! Beautiful place, the hosts are extremely kind and responsive. Would absolutely return! 10 stars!

Thank you very much Les for your stay and your preference! You'll always be welcome when you decide to return.
My husband and I rented Villa Cariño near Antigua Guatemala. We had an incredible stay at this two-story home with a breathtaking view of the volcano, and accommodations for a big family. The private heated pool was a fantastic bonus, and the gated community made us feel secure and comfortable. Communication with the host was seamless, and we even got to meet them upon arrival. The interior was immaculate, blending Spanish and colonial styles beautifully. Getting to Antigua Guatemala took less than 10 minutes by Uber. Overall, it was a perfect getaway for my family! Thank you for welcoming us.
This was an amazing property for our trip. The hosts are extremely attentive and showed us the house on our arrival. Will definitely go back for our next trip.
Have stayed here many times. Wonderful house and safe place to stay. 10 min to down town. Owners go out of there way to make sure you have everything you need.

Every time we stay here it’s wonderful. Close to town. This is a very wonderful house. This house is our prime choice when visiting Guatemala. House keeper is available for cleaning and cooking and does a wonderful Job.
Our stay at this property exceeded our expectations! From the pictures, we could tell it was very nice. The pictures don’t do it justice! We traveled as an adult family of 6 and had plenty of space. The property was clean and very well maintained. The neighborhood is beautiful. We enjoyed it immensely and highly recommend!

Thank you very much for your preference. You will always be welcome in our home.
We absolutely loved staying at this beautiful home! It is just gorgeous, built in the colonial style with beautiful wood, tile and antique furniture but with all the modern amenities like a heated pool, fully furnished kitchen, etc. There was plenty of space for our family of 10, the beds and linens were comfortable and plentiful. We especially enjoyed the inner courtyard with its beautiful flowers and the upstairs terraces with their lovely views. Excellent security as well. The hosts are lovely people who greeted us warmly and made sure we had everything we needed. Five stars in every way—my only 4 star rating was for the location since the house is located a bit too far from Antigua’s central square to walk easily (although we did walk several times—about a 20-25 minute walk). We will definitely stay again if we make it back to Antigua.

Shannon, I am very happy that you liked the house so much and enjoyed it to the fullest . The house is close enough to the city center to enjoy its surroundings and also be able to easily return to enjoy the house, the rest and tranquility of the residential area and the pool. It is part of the success that the house has had and what we like the most since we can have the best of Antigua, its cultural wealth and its natural beauty.
Thank you very much for your preference. You will always be welcome at home.
We had the most incredible stay at this beautiful home in Antigua while celebrating a very special birthday and quality family time. From the moment we arrived, it was clear the hosts genuinely care about creating a meaningful and memorable experience. The home is even more stunning in person—thoughtfully designed, impeccably clean, and filled with the kind of warmth that makes you feel instantly at ease. Every detail reflected care and hospitality, and we felt truly welcomed. This wasn’t just a vacation rental—it was a place where memories were made. We’re deeply grateful and can’t wait to return.
