About this villa rental
The beautiful Spanish colonial villa was designed and furnished by an artist. The property is set into the mountainside of the extinct Volcan de Agua and looks out over the rolling hills and valley below and two other volcanoes. Surrounded by farmland with compesinos walking their burrows to the fields, the property is a refuge from the bustle of urban life. Birds serenade the sunrise.
There are three bedrooms, with the master suite taking up the whole second floor and the other two guest rooms on the ground floor in a separate wing. From the master bath you can watch Fuego erupting or the fireworks in the valley. There are terraces and seating on all four sides so you can sit in sun or shade or take in different views depending on preference and time of day. A stepped fountain 'stream' with flowering plants and fish is in the central courtyard where you can sit out for meals or on the back terrace with umbrella.
The spacious gardens tended daily by the local gardener are filled with flowers you can cut to have in the house. Open lawns for children to play in the walled compound and endless walks through the countryside outside the walls.
Within the spacious walled compound are two other homes not visible from my house, in addition to the guard/doorman who provides 24 hour security and his wife who cleans the house three days a week (additional maid service can be arranged). The two bedrooms on the ground floor share a bathroom between them which also serves as the guest bathroom.
I recently built a beautiful wood fired sauna that seats 6-8 people or two people can lie down on the long benches. When you step outside, there is a cold shower. We have been having sauna parties and have friends over to relax and then have supper together.
All year round one eats outside on the terraces by the cascading fountain or in the warm patio under the umbrella on the patio off the dining room. Downtown Antigua with its restaurants, sites and night life is only 12 minutes away by car.
Please check the availability calendar before contacting me as my place is usually rented months in advance.

The property is amazing, the house is like a dream. The hostess and her son are super helpful. We had a wonderful month at the house.

This property really is like a fairytale property due to the fact of just how beautiful it really is. Catherine the onwer of the VRBO was quick to answer my questions and was an incredible host, I couldn't have asked for a better stay. Perfect for a couple getaway or for family time. The best part is going to Antigua for the day and coming back to the house because it's so comfortable to stay in. This is a great place to stay!

Catherine’s home was a great home base for our family for the month of June. It’s about a 10 minute drive through coffee fincas to Antigua and the house has gorgeous views of the volcanoes. We loved sitting on the large upper deck and watching the lava flow from Volcan de Fuego on clear nights. The gardens surrounding the home are lovely and the caretakers are kind. Please note that you must be willing to drive to stay here as Ubers will drop off at the property but are rarely available to pick up at the property. Catherine graciously allows her guests to rent her (manual) vehicle for a nominal fee. Catherine was kind and easy to communicate with and gave us detailed information about the property before we arrived. Catherine also kindly arranged a ride from our hotel in Guatemala City with Roberto for $40, and we later hired to take us on a trip to Tikal at the end of the month. We highly recommend Roberto and he speaks English fluently. This is a great place to stay if you plan to spend time in Antigua.

A very safe and private enclave that allows a family the tranquility needed along with easy access to Cuidad Vieja and Antigua.
Layout of property is excellent and wood fired sauna is a big hit.
Catherine is expeditious on her replies and having the two bodyguards (Kiara and Barley!!) made our stay that much more enjoyable. If you love dogs, you will love these 2.
Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a well maintained home with easy access to Antigua
