I can't say enough great things about this property. First, it's a beautiful house that opens up to beautiful courtyards and gardens. It's indoor/outdoor living which is perfect for Antigua's great climate. Also, great kitchen, spacious bedrooms with nice beds, nice bathrooms with hot water, and a beautiful area on rooftop with great views of Vulcan de Aqua and Vulcan de Fuego ( incredible place to have coffee in the morning. The pictures don't do this place justice. its much better. Last, Miriam the caretaker/housekeeper was always accessable and very nice and helpful. I highly recommend this Air bnb. I like staying in nice places and then place was five star and affordable, especially for three couples....

Diana’s home in Antigua Guatemala was one of the most special places we’ve ever stayed. The house is absolutely pristine and a perfect example of beautiful indoor–outdoor living. The courtyard garden feels like a dream—bursting with bougainvillea, lush greenery, and fruiting vines. At night, the amber garden lighting makes everything feel warm, magical, and peaceful, and the view of the garden from the living room is breathtaking. The rooftop terrace was another favorite spot, with incredible views of the surrounding landscape and even an active volcano in the distance. Truly an unforgettable stay.

The house is beautiful. The location is great. We loved our stay. The one thing I would say is the house is very much indoor/outdoor living. We loved our stay that but if you want screens on your windows and hallways to walk through this may not be for you. If you love open living this is the place for you! The grounds are great and the house keeper was very nice.

This was home was beautiful. Everything is close by. You can walk to everything. Felt extremely safe. Beautiful views from the terrace. Miriam was the most amazing host, she made our stay an 11 out of 10!

The home was really lovely. Like many homes in Antigua, it features a central open courtyard, with a beautiful fountain and garden with mature plants and trees. Each bedroom opens to the private courtyard, and the other living areas are open to it too -- so with the exception of the kitchen, which is tucked in the back of the home, the house is very open which takes some getting used to. But it is well-appointed, and the house manager, Miriam, was wonderful to work with; as we are not Spanish speakers, she helped us with everything we needed using Google translate on our phones. A big plus was having access to large tanks of bottled water for drinking and fans for each room. The rooftop deck was a great feature -- relaxing surroundings with beautiful views of the mountains.

This could very well be one of the most beautiful airbnbs I’ve ever stayed in. I was blown away by the interior and rooftop. The host Miriam was absolutely AMAZING, so responsive and helpful to all our questions and needs. The location is also so perfect, 5-10 minutes to great restaurants, bars, and cafes. I will be recommending this spot to others that plan to vacation in Antigua.

First, this is very much a shared home with the housekeeper and her family. The house is very open around a courtyard. They live in back but have to walk through the courtyard to come and go. The bedrooms (which don't lock) are right off the courtyard, and open to anyone walking by, so that was unsettling. We did not feel comfortable using the kitchen or dining area because they were back there. Second, the emails in the days leading up to our stay were repeated lectures about the many rules and how much we would have to pay if we broke/soiled anything. We definitely did not feel like we were welcomed guests but more like potential thieves. All of this was unfortunate because the house was lovely and we wished we could have enjoyed it more if we had been made to feel welcome. The location is great and we really enjoyed exploring Antigua. With so many charming places to stay, we will find a more welcoming place on our next visit.

the place is amazing! beautiful. clean. quiet block. the only thing I would say if you are getting this place because of a jacuzzi, that is NOT the reason to book it.

Jake

Beautiful home in a great spot in Antigua. Close to everything but in a relatively quiet location. Full view of the volcanos from the rooftop patio! Jacuzzi is quite small and not terribly nice, but all other amenities were great. Definitely a wonderful place to stay.

What a wonderful place! We especially loved the courtyard setting, spacious living areas, and rooftop patio. It was very tranquil setting, but still an easy walk to the Antigua attractions. Very responsive host, and Miriam is nearby to help with any questions. Highly recommended.

Our group (3 couples) loved our stay and would absolutely stay here again. The common rooms were spacious, comfortable, and clean. The private courtyard was lush and colorful, and the rooftop was a fun place to see sunset and Antigua's views. The bedrooms and bathrooms were very clean and comfortable, as well, and the kitchen was well stocked for cooking and anything you would need to enjoy and relax. Miriam (the onsite house manager, who has her own space and was not intrusive or awkward) is wonderful and a great hostess, making us feel comfortable and cared for. This was an absolutely lovely stay.

The home was beautiful & pristine. The design of the home with the open courtyard was so breathtaking. Amazing views on the roof plus who doesn’t love a hot tub?? We can’t wait to return to Guatemala & will definitely be staying in this amazing home again. The location is perfect, within walking distance of most everything in Antigua. The hosts answered all of our questions (there were a lot lol) & helped us arrange transportation to and from the airport. Honestly could not recommend a better house or host if you’re in Antigua!

Staying in Antigua was an absolute dream. The villa is stunning, stylish, and full of charming details. The rooftop jacuzzi with views of the erupting Fuego volcano was the ultimate highlight. The location is perfect—peaceful, safe and just a short walk to the central park. A huge thanks to Miriam, who was incredibly helpful and friendly throughout our stay. Highly recommend this beautiful gem!

My family of four had a great week at this AirBnb. We were attending Spanish school at a program around the corner, which made this a great home base for that and for exploring Antigua as well. Communication was great. We would stay here again.

El Retiro is a beautiful, well kept, villa in the middle of the south east quadrant of La Antigua, the one with the best kept historical monuments, great mid to high range restaurants, and walkable streets (no high-heels or strollers of course, it’s Antigua). Attention to detail was great in the listing and Miriam’s on site help was very nice

I can’t say enough about the beautiful home in Antiqua! The pictures were spot on and the place was so clean. Miriam the house keeper was always there when you needed her but you never knew she was there when you didn’t. She was so friendly. We don’t speak Spanish and didn’t have a problem communicating with her on translate app. The house was a perfect location to watch one of the Holy Week possessions. We opened the door and there it was. The people in this town were so friendly and helpful. Always ready to recommend a local restaurant (one as small as 4 tables and it was the best food of my life). You must go to Le Gome Dor. Turn left out of the house and it’s down on the left. Amazing. We wanted a true Guatemalan experience by staying in this house and it was just fantastic. We watched fireworks from our rooftop and on less cloudy days the volcano was right in front of you. Would certainly stay here again.

Beautiful, stunning and well kept house . Otto and Diana were quick at responding. As it was a girls trip and we wanted to ensure utmost safety, Diana helped answer all our questions and also helped with transportation to and fro the airport. Miriam (the in house helper) was helpful and was always around to fix any questions/issues we had. Lovely place and would definitely return back.

We enjoyed the days we had in this casa in Antigua. We will leave a 5 star review as everything met or exceeded our expectations. Housekeeper Miriam was attentive to our requests and provided a welcoming reception. Host arranged a van for our ride to Guatemala City airport. All in all a very well presented and very impressive Airbnb.

The house is just lovely; a classic Antigua home in the heart of all the city has to offer but far enough from the hustle to allow for quiet. There are tons of amazing restaurants nearby and the central square and shopping are only a 10 minute walk. You can watch Fuego Volcano puff from the rooftop balcony and the attendant is responsive to your every need. We have visited Antigua with friends each year for the last six years and finally found our favorite spot. We will most certainly be back!

María

Thank you very much Otto, we enjoyed your property, I think it must be mentioned that everything is clean. The only one factor that is not within your reach is that the main room is on the side of the street and the noise interrupts the rest and having no air conditioning was a little hot. The terrace is beautiful and everything is very clean and comfortable.

We had a very nice stay at Otto’s place. The house is super nice and centrally located. Very convenient. Miriam(the hostess) was super nice and very attentive. The only hiccup was the fact that the hostess was always at the house in separate quarters but always there watching you. That left a sour taste in our mouths. A feeling of always being watched. The guests are not supposed to get a key the hostess is supposed to open the door every time you comeback to the house, that is very uncomfortable. I believe the appliances in the kitchen need to be updated as well as the bathrooms. Other than that everything was good🙏🏼.

The place is very nice and huge, just like the pictures. The kitchen and bathrooms I feel need to be updated. Specially the appliances in the kitchen. The jacuzzi was a very nice addition but the breaker kept going off so we could not really enjoy it. Other than that everything was very nice. The beds were super comfortable.

Incredible old world charm. Clean and comfortable, with tasteful design. Otto’s place exceeded our expectations. Miriam is a total gem and only enhanced our experience. Would stay again in a heartbeat. The open air layout and location was excellent. The front bedroom did have a little street noise one night but nothing the fan couldn’t quiet. 5 stars!

Our stay was excellent. The hosts were very responsive and kind in their communication. Myriam, who lives onsite with her daughter, was a sweetheart. We loved having her there, yet she stayed in her part of the house so you still had privacy. The house was immaculately clean and the common areas were nice to hang out in. We appreciated being able to do laundry and my kids loved the hot tub on the roof that Myriam kindly organized for us. I would definitely stay in this airbnb again when visiting Antigua!

We had a beautiful time at Otto’s place. We felt the original vibe of Guatemala, Antigua is one of a kind colonial city to visit. The house is super cool, they honored the old style of the colonial era, all the details and touch are a piece of art. It’s 10 min walking distance to everywhere basically in downtown. It was noise for people that use to leave in nature like us, and deeply appreciate silence. There is a house keeper living in the property, which is very helpful in one hand, but in the other hand it takes your privacy a bit. We recommend Otto’s place for sure.
