Home away from home
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!!

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.

Seclusion in Antigua
This property is an oasis, tucked away in a gated community. It is less than a ten minute Uber ride to downtown Antigua. The backyard was probably our favorite place to gather for coffee in the morning and afternoon swims. The kitchen has everything you need, the linens are in good condition and we were able to do laundry before packing up to leave. We highly recommend this property.

This house is amazing! Beautiful, spacious, super clean, and well maintained. Every aspect showed even better than presented in the pictures. Maria, the owner, was responsive, accommodating, warm, and professional. As my family looks back on the wonderful memories we made there, the house will play a significant role in retelling those stories. It was perfect for our very special getaway. We will definitely be back!!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
