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

We had 5 adults and 3 children, as well as 2 extra adults for half of the stay. The house is warm and inviting, has everything necessary in the kitchen and bathrooms, and is tastefully decorated! Bonus features were the private backyard and pool, as well as the locked gate to the homes with a guard there at all times. Highly recommend this lovely home for anyone visiting Antigua! Thank you, Maite and husband for being excellent hosts!!

Beautiful home in a secure private neighborhood
Our family just traveled to Antigua to attend a wedding and chose this beautiful house outside Antigua and we were not disappointed. It's a colonial-style home with well-appointed rooms. Lots of quaint gathering spaces and courtyards. The solar-heated pool was a plus. We enjoyed quiet restful evenings. Maite and her husband were so welcoming and helpful. The communication prior to and throughout our visit was superior. She gave us recommendations for trustworthy transportation individual which we used to move around town, The house is in a secure gated community which made us feel safe throughout the stay. I hope to return to Antigua someday soon and will reach out to Maite and hope to stay at this property again. Thank you Maite for going the extra mile to address our needs and communicating with you was impeccable.

Fantastic!
This house was amazing! There were ten of us, and we had more than enough room to be comfortable. The pool and the back yard area was really nice, the kitchen was large and well equipped, and it was a godsend to have laundry. We even found the games and played some Rummikub. The decor is fun and interesting—there is so much to look at; it's like a museum. I can't recommend this place enough.

Quiet and Special Antigua Retreat
Our family of adults stayed at Maite’s home for a wedding in Antigua. Everything we needed was there. The home was stunning and very comfortable. We loved gathering at the pool in the beautiful courtyard. The best part was the responsiveness of our host: she recommended a driver who met us for our very late arrival at the airport and took us directly to the house. On our request she had snacks and a few breakfast items at the house for us - such a huge help. Our host also recommended a cook who shopped for us and made the traditional Antiguan dish, pepian, with us - delicious! The fact that the house was a ten minute Uber trip from Antigua was good and bad - good that we had a safe, comfortable, quiet refuge to return to at the end of the day. The bad - just that you can’t really walk into town. This is a great place to stay with a large family or group of friends.

Spacious, clean, relaxing property with great outdoor pool
Five of us stayed and it met our needs perfectly. Plenty of bedrooms and a choice of beds and en-suite or nearby bathrooms. Security was great. No A/C so fans might have been nice as it was warm to us Americans Great outdoor space. Covered areas with sofas, tables & chairs and in the open 4 loungers with umbrellas. Immaculate pool kept at an ideal temperature. Even an outside shower. Supply of nice beach towels by the pool. Built-in wood fired grill and a supply of wood is in a corner of the garden and we used it to make tortillas. Firestarters might help those not good at lighting wood fires. Plenty of outdoor lighting for either cooking or relaxing. Beds were very comfortable being slightly firmer than too soft. Good size rooms. Netflix was great as was wifi. Bathrooms had basic shampoo & liquid hand soap but no conditioner. Of course, you may well have your own supplies. Extra towel or two would have helped but we used ones from bathrooms not in use, Perfectly adequate top-loading washer and separate dryer is available. You may need to get more detergent. etc, Great to use at any time especially if travelling light The kitchen is adequate but oven was a little challenging at first. Some pans were a little old but not really an issue. We did have to buy coffee and paper towels. Central Park is 1.6 miles away. First part down narrow road with no sidewalk. We've seen books for guest suggestions and that might be worth adding We really, really enjoyed our stay!

Filled with surprises
The residence is located about a 5-10 minute drive to the center of Antigua. It is very tastefully decorated and has plenty of different areas to sit and enjoy the house. We traveled with a 2.5 year old, 4.5 year old, and 8 month old. There were tons of photo ops in the house itself. The only warning I would give is that all of the decorations around the property are impossible to resist for kids to try to pick up. Our most common phrase to the girls was, "do not touch". The host was very responsive, and all of the staff of the complex was very friendly.

Unique property- Excellent for Relaxing with your Family & Friends
This house has a wonderful feel to it. We were in Antigua with family and friends. We enjoyed cooling down in the pool and sitting outside with our breakfast. It is a short distance and an inexpensive Uber ride into Antigua proper- easy to meet up with other friends who were staying in the big hotel there. After dinner in the busy city, we enjoyed coming back to the quiet of the house and the amazing view of the mountains. House is at base of some gorgeous views. I hope this house can be our go-to for Antiqua. Lots of special touches in the house itself. You can tell the owners love their casa.

Spectacular Property
Villa Carina is a gorgeious home that while large enough to house our group of 5 colleagues traveling together, still feels comfortable and cozy. The hosts met us at check in to provide us with an overview of the property and to answer any questions about the house or surrounding area. We felt very welcomed and cared for by the hosts. The house is located within a small, beautifully landscaped gated community so we felt very safe throughout our stay. The house had everything that we could possibly need, including strong, consistent wifi. We were able to easily walk to the center of town, but it is also possible to take an UBER for those who prefer not to walk. While the house is gorgeous, the back yard and solarium are breathtaking. We spent countless hours enjoying the blooming flowers while cooling off in the private pool or catching up on reading in the lounge chairs and outdoor couches. Coffee in the solarium, enjoying the views, while literally being surrounded by the most beautiful flowers was a perfect way to start our day. This is a suberb property with wonderfully attentive hosts. I can't wait to return.

2nd Stay: a Fabulous Property!
Photos of this lovely Colonial style home in small, secure compound are 100% accurate. A Sense of Place (wonderful antiques & textiles) with modern comforts (Wifi, multi channels on flat screen TV, soft toleit paper) makes Villa Carina a perfect family or friends gathering locale. The children (is 50 still a kid? ;-)? might prefer being closer to town but Great Grandma liked being outside until visiting downtown together in the late afternoon. Do get a maid: Maria Luisa is highly recommended.
