We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful villa! The location is absolutely incredible and the house is huge, perfect for our group of 12 women, with plenty of comfortable beds and space for everyone. The villa is also uniquely and beautifully decorated. The host was very responsive and helpful, and we had great contact with the guard, who was incredibly kind and always willing to help. They really thought along with us, which we appreciated a lot. A few things to keep in mind: the villa is a little older, and some of the bathrooms and showers could use an update. The kitchen is also not fully equipped for a group of 12 — there weren’t enough wine glasses and the plates and glasses were a mix of different styles. Overall, we had a fantastic stay and would definitely recommend this villa, especially for larger groups!

We loved the house for a large family. Spacious, very complete and with everything you need for a very quiet vacation. Please note that the house has 3 levels with steps, with living rooms, play areas, kitchen and bedrooms located in separate areas, and that you have to go down about 70 steps to access the pool, Jacuzzi and lake. Everything was amazing and it was worth a family weekend that we would definitely want to repeat.

Had a great time at Vista Bella! The caretaker Rogelio was always available to help and answer questions. The kids loved the pool and there was plenty of space for our group of 14. The view was unbelievable!

The house is located in a beautiful spot, with spectacular views both day and night. The house is huge and has many areas for sharing. We were comfortable with the rooms since there were only 9 of us. The beds are rather rustic, not very comfortable. Some areas for improvement: the paint in the house looks a bit neglected, some bathrooms had a bit of a bad odor even before using them, there is no air freshener, the Wi-Fi is quite unstable, there is no hot water in the showers, and there was a water leak in the kitchen. Regarding the use of the jacuzzi, we were not told that we had to give two hours' notice before using it. The pool is always dirty, and when we spoke with the manager, he told us that cleaning was useless because it always gets dirty. One of the docks is in very poor condition, as if it were broken, and it is also not that easy to access the lake. Make sure that the route enters through Panajachel, since the short route is difficult to access. We stayed 3 days 2 nights. Yes, I would return.

The place is awesome. I would gladly stay here again. I recommend accessing the house by boat, even upon arrival. The overland route is really dangerous, and the boat would be a solution if you arrive early from Panajachel. The place is not recommended for very young children or older adults. My son is 7 years old, and with care on the balconies, everything was fine. Beautiful place.

We had a fantastic stay at Ghada’s place. The property is very spacious and easily accommodated our group of 8, with plenty of room to spare for even more guests. It was comfortable, well-maintained, and perfect for relaxing together. Rogelio, the property manager, was incredibly helpful throughout our stay. He assisted us in arranging transportation to nearby towns and even coordinated our transfer to our next stay in Antigua, which made everything seamless and stress-free. We also took advantage of the option to hire cooks during our stay, and every meal was absolutely delicious. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting the area.

If you’re considering My Grand Lakeview Villa; stop thinking and just book it! Our family group of 9 found a massive private hillside museum. The grounds look like a National Geographic documentary: lush plants, dramatic terraces, and "wow" views at every turn. Yes, there are many steps and hills, but every single step is worth the ridiculous postcard views of the lake and volcanos. Rogelio, the house manager, is incredible. When you need a tuk-tuk, a lancha, or local advice, he’s your guy. He kept the pool and hot tub spotless; the sunset hot tub view is a must! We also recommend using Cristina and Edine to prepare delicious daily breakfasts and dinners; a nice treat while on vacation. Being surrounded by nature, we saw a few insects/scorpion, but it didn't phase us. This place gets 10 stars; the atmosphere and staff are so wonderful that you’ll start missing the balcony and your morning coffee before you even leave. It is the ultimate Lake Atitlan experience!

The property is beautiful and offers wonderful views of Antigua. Some reviews mention views of the lake, but from my experience the lake is too far away to actually be visible. The map also makes the location appear quite close to town, which is true in distance, but the elevation change makes walking a bit challenging for most people. Rideshare options like Uber were not always readily available, so having a rental vehicle made getting around much easier.

This was our second time in this wonderful house. It has truly magical views of the lake and is enormous. It felt almost too big for our group of 8 people. Rogelio is a wonderful groundskeeper and he helped us get boats and tuktuks whenever we needed them. We hired Cristina to make breakfast every day and two dinners. The food was delicious and it was very good value. I highly recommend this house for a large group who wants to enjoy all Lake Atitlan has to offer.

The view in this huge house is breathtaking! On the other hand, I must say that the house lacks a little love. The bathrooms do not all have hot water. The beds are hard and uncomfortable, and do not contain enough blankets. Not enough towels at our disposal either. The kitchen lacks supplies to facilitate the preparation of meals.

This house has one of the most beautiful views of Lake Atitlan and volcanoes, this is our second time staying at this house because our family group is big and this house is able to accommodate us comfortably. Definitely going back for a third time. One thing I will recommend to new visitors, is to not use the Waze that is link to the house instructions because it will not take you to the right spot, you will have to get instructions and it will take another hour to get to the house, it’s better to just put San Antonio Palopo and then fallow the instructions.

the house is absurd, never in my life have I been in such a mansion. beautiful !!! don rogelio knows how to arrange everything for you and is also happy to help you. host is friendly and quick to respond. environment is somewhat isolated from everything, in the immediate vicinity there is not much to do. for people who are a little less mobile, it is difficult because of walking with many stairs!!!

Pros: The photos don't do it justice. It's stunning everywhere you look. Host communication was excellent. We were a party of 14 and there were 5 unused twin beds. The place is massive - we never felt crowded. There is a new dining table (not pictured) that comfortably sat all of us. Cristina prepared most of our meals - she did a great job. Pizza delivered from Rene's was good. Rogelio responded when needed. The boat drivers Ghada recommended were on time. The pool table was a ton of fun. San Antonio Palopo is an easy walk from the house and fun to visit (weavers and large ceramic studio & store). Gorgeous landscaping. Wifi worked fine. Cons: The house is 5 star but the amenities are 3 star. 1 pillow/ 1 towel per person, kitchen pans in bad shape, no hair dryers, no condiments or soaps or little things you might forget. It's a bare bones operation. LOTS of stairs to the front door, same w/ down to the lake and inside the house. House needs some TLC.

Instrcutions of address not very detailed. The house needs maintenance, floor was dirty, big water leakage in the kitchen that leaves the floor soaked in water while washing dishes, 2 showers drains clogged with hair. Basic cleaning products and shampoo not available, not enough tiolet paper, paper towels nor napkins. Bed lining very old and very old pillows. Host was not helpful when needed her help to solve the kitchens leakageproblem. On the other hand, the house has an expecacular view, plenty of space and very nice gardens.

Loved the house and view!! Hard to get there driving. The guard was a little rude only because in order to go in and out of the house you have to notify him. So unfortunately a few of us got there late and his response was he doesn’t work 24 hours so it was difficult going in and out at his convenience. Other than that the house is beautiful. You can only get WiFi on the bottom floor which sucks because the house is so huge. Loved the scenery

10/10 recommend!!!!! First off, the sights were absolutely beautiful. I loved waking up there every morning throughout my stay. I went with my family, and we felt right at home from the moment we arrived. The home and décor were stunning and so unique, it honestly felt like sleeping in a museum. The groundskeeper was incredibly sweet and attentive, always making sure we had everything we needed. Just a heads up, there are quite a few stairs and an inclined walk from the dock up to the villa, but the views are absolutely worth it. The host was very nice, responsive, and provided detailed information and helpful contacts to make our stay even better. Overall, my family and I truly enjoyed our time here and would definitely love to stay again.

This place was beautiful & really big, it had 3 floors, it was very spacious and expect to do alot of walking up & down stairs. The pool is a walk to get to also but really nice. 1st floor had the pool table and 2 rooms and 2nd floor had the master bedroom and two other rooms. Last floor had a living room, dining room and 2 twin beds. The house has a lot of saints statues around the house, I did like the ancient feeling, and also felt a bit creepy but in a good way. I would stay here again because of the beautiful views! And take DVD’s if you want to watch movies. The bathrooms are great and spacious. The gate keeper is very nice and responsive. Give him 5 stars! You can also get in the lake from stairs that lead into the water, there is an area where you can see fish through the small rock window near the pool. The dining room table was where we ate and played Loteria. Make sure you go to the market before checking in & buy charcoal if you plan to grill. Thanks again, beautiful views!

This a very lovely home to be in and enjoy the full views of Lake Atitlan. The host and house attendant were extremely kind and helpful, especially when we go lost getting there. The accommodation was ideal for our large group and Rogelio was very helpful in helping to arrange a boat to get across the lake to explore the other towns. And the views you get at this place are amazing! One thing I will add for folks, is just be mindful of the type of car you take, as the road to get there can be a bit rough for a low baring car. And head there when there is still sunlight out. And this place, as stunning as it is, isn’t accessible to all, as there are quiet a bit of stairs to get down to the house, in the house, and down to the dock. Overall, worth the travel. Thank you Ghada and Rogelio.

The house is beautiful, a colonial house, very large. When traveling around the lake we realized that throughout the area the roads are difficult to access, due to very steep slopes, but it is a question of the entire lake. They have a dock where the boat picks you up directly at the house. The house's caretaker Rogelio is one of the best people in the world, very kind, very helpful, we became very fond of him, everything was excellent

We had a fantastic stay at this spacious lake house perched on a cliff with breathtaking views of Lake Atitlán. The home features a pool and a jacuzzi. Access involves navigating narrow, cliffside roads through small villages—perfect for adventurous travelers. The house spans three levels: the entry floor includes a small bedroom, a master bedroom, an outdoor bedroom, and a pool table room. One level down are three more bedrooms. The lowest level features a spacious kitchen, dining and living areas, and a large deck to enjoy the view. A well-kept path leads to the lake’s edge, where we were picked up by boat for a scenic ride to San Juan La Laguna. We opted not to drive to Panajachel at night due to the narrow roads. While it could use a few touch-ups, overall everything was good . We truly enjoyed our stay and recommend this place .
