Peaceful Antigua Retreat

Philippa’s beautiful villa was a perfect find for our group of 9 while in Antigua for a wedding! We were greeted by a warm and welcoming staff (Karlita is a gem) and shown right to our villa. There are a total of four rentals that share the pool and courtyard area but we had no issues with noise or any sort of disturbance. Everything was so clean and the daily housekeeping service is a wonderful bonus! The villa is inside a beautiful gated community, we felt very safe and had lots of privacy. Step outside the gates and you’re spoiled for choice with wonderful cafes, ruins, views, and plenty more. This was my 3rd visit to Antigua and my love for it grows each time I go back. I highly recommend staying here and hope to return in the future! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

very clean, beautiful views from the porch, daily clean service if wanted, comfortable beds. very responsive hosts. overall a very pleasant stay, kids enjoyed the pool and hot tub too

We really enjoyed our stay! The home is gorgeous, very safe, and has scenic volcano views in the background. It’s just a ten-minute walk to the central park, with restaurants, shops, and markets all within a few blocks. The pool and hot tub was a highlight for our family (especially the kids!), and the house itself is beautifully maintained. The staff were incredibly kind and responsive. We hired Mayda as our cook for the duration of our stay and highly recommend her—she made delicious, varied breakfasts every morning. We stayed for three weeks and always felt safe, even walking home at night, thanks to the secure neighborhood and attentive gate guards. The beds were much firmer than we’re used to (which is common in Guatemala), but a slight upgrade there could make an already great stay even better. We'll be back!

Pros: huge house. great customer service. Location felt very safe Cons: one of the houses was much darker than in the pictures with not much natural light but hosts were very responsive getting us to another one Keep in mind you have to walk about 10 mins to really get to the city center.

We had five people in three bedrooms, and the location was great, with a large living room and kitchen. The view from the upstairs patio of the volcano was picturesque, and we were close to Hector's Bistro, Hotel Camino Real rooftop for drinks and appetizers. The location was walking distance to town and we racked up 14,000-15,000 steps daily. We really enjoyed Antigua, especially because of our access to the Semana Santa activities and processions which even came by our home. Philippa was very responsive and the staff was very friendly and helpful.

What a beautiful experience and beautiful place Our stay was absolutely amazing… my family and I will definitely come back to stay at the gorgeous Airbnb ♥️♥️♥️

Everything was excellent, the house was very well decorated and equipped, always attentive to our needs, the cleaning staff was very friendly. For an extra charge, they prepared New Year's dinner for us and everything was delicious. Everything was very clean and tidy. I would definitely come back

Flor’s place was so amazing. It was my moms first time coming to Antigua and her home was the best introduction! The communication with Flor was perfect ☺️ the two women who came in daily to clean were very friendly and helpful. It is a beautiful space and if you can choose which of the four home I’d recommend casa Santa Cruz as that’s where we stayed and loved it. So much room and walkable distance to most things.

I would recommend this place
