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!

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.

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.

Amazing!

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.

Beautiful Home

This is a magnificent property full of beauty and tranquility. My family and I enjoyed our recent trip and the privacy. Maite was a gracious host and always checking in to see how we were doing even while she was on her own vacation. Alberto and Andrea who help with any issues were very nice and gracious. What can i say about the house other than its comfortable and gorgeous. Everyonee in my family had their own room, I was able to grill a couple of days and the pool was awesome. This place is like a museum and from the outside you wouldn't think that it had that much space. Once you are inside, you see the beauty and appreciate the layout. Full kitchen, nice showers, spacious bedrooms, great wifi, TV, and many places to sit down and lounge and reflect while you are resting. We loved the outside fountain within the house, and the terrace on the second floor. Food can be delivered to the house and taking ubers/taxis to Parque central is a 5-10 minute drive away. Ubers are inexpensive. Overall. The home is cozy and was built with love from what I felt and saw. Lots of detail and thought was given in building it and its something I truly appreciate. Maite- Thank you for letting us stay in your home. We had a great time and we will be back with friends. Saludos y un abrazo. Christian
