Beautiful Casa Bella is located just four blocks from Parque Central in Antigua and only two blocks from the main artisans and food markets. The house sits in a gated/guarded community and is only 15 years old. The colonial style, lovely antiques and fun art work add to the charm of this unique house, which includes all the conveniences of home.

The two large bedrooms upstairs share a spacious master bathroom with shower and tub. The master bedroom has a queen bed, large walk-in closet and front and back patios. The second bedroom has two twin beds that can be made into a king. It also has a beautiful view of the volcanoes, one of which is active and can often be seen burping out smoke. (see the 2nd video!)

The bedrooms open on to a covered patio and large rooftop patio. Enjoy the garden below, the potted plants & porch swings, while gazing at the magnificent and ever-changing sky around Volcan Agua to the south. This view is stunning!

The two downstairs bedrooms have the same bed configurations as the two upstairs, except they each have their own bathrooms with walk-in showers. These bedrooms share access to a beautiful back garden and a lush central garden with a pila fountain.

All bedding is 100% cotton. Each bed is provided with a light and fluffy natural down comforter.

Garden and hanging plants surround the patios along with tasteful art and colonial antiques. The indoor-outdoor living is easy to get accustomed to, as the mild year round temperatures invite the visitor into the fresh sun shining air. There are cozy couches on the patio and tables and chairs, making it easy to transition from indoors to outdoor living.

The kitchen is fully equipped and has a small colonial dining table for four. There is a large dining room (table seats eight) and living room with couches and seating designed for relaxation. The style is elegant, yet Casa Bella still has a down home comfort feel. It is imbued with an atmosphere of color, light, openness, and beauty. This is a truly wonderful house to escape to!

The housekeeper cares for Casa Bella Monday-Friday: makes the beds, cleans the bathrooms and maintains the casa. Her devoted attention to the tile floors keeps them fresh and looking like works of art! The house is also child-friendly, with baby changing tables, baby gates, and a high chair.

The water is solar heated and plentiful.
Solar panels provide electricity to the house.

Top 3 rentals of all time (we rent 6-7 times a year internationally). The photos do not begin to show what a welcoming, beautiful, soulful, well-appointed house this is. Every last detail is tended to; the kitchen is fully stocked with all the big and little things you might need; the gardens are stunning; it's walkable to nearby markets, banks, pharmacy, grocery, restaurants, and city center. Incredibly responsive host. Guarded and gated community. Quiet during the day and night. (The housekeeper and gardener are in the house often.) Can not recommend more highly. Would definitely stay here every time we travel to Antigua.

Absolutely recommend staying at Robin’s place. The home is very comfortable, fully stocked kitchen, clean, tidy and centrally located. Beds are comfortable and evenings are quiet. We were 5 teenagers and 2 adults. Everyone enjoyed the beautiful courtyard and upper deck. Gated community offered safety. Everyone was friendly and respectful. Look forward to staying here again!

Amazing Home

This was the second time we’ve stayed at this house and it didn’t disappoint! The most beautiful house with amazing views of the volcano. You’re in a safe area with guards 24/7. It’s also walking distance from everything you need. I would recommend to anyone going to Antigua!

This home is stunning, comfortable and in a wonderful location. It is clean and well maintained. Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. The second floor deck offers a beautiful view of the volcano and is a wonderful place to sit for morning coffee or an evening cocktail. The house is in walking distance to the center of Antigua but is located in a quiet and gated community. We felt safe for our entire stay. The information sent to us by the host prior to our arrivial was extremely helpful as it included all information about the house as well as a list of popular restaurants and the name of a driver, Ruben, who is also an outstanding tour guide. When asked what one of the best parts of our vacation was, we replied "the house." We will be back.

Second time staying in Casa Bella and can't wait to stay again! I can't say enough good things about this home. It's beautiful, location is perfect and Robin is the most gracious host! This home feels like home. Two vases of colorful fresh roses greeted us! Keila was great, kept the house spotless and was never in our way. We absolutely love staying at Casa Bella!!!

Fantastic Family Vacation

Casa Bella is beautiful, will well tended gardens, fabulous art displayed around every corner. All guests reported their beds were comfortable as were all the sitting areas. The kitchen was fully stocked. There were even games and some books available for use while there. The location was walking distance to downtown Antigua. The housekeeper is a lovely person, as is the driver Robin recommended. We'd love to come back some day.

A great experience in a gorgeous home!

I spent a month living in this wonderful home. From the artwork to the garden, the house is clearly a labor of love for the owner. Robin was helpful and quick to reply throughout the process from reservation to checkout. Keila went above and beyond as cleaner, cook, and general source of local knowledge. She even procured a pair of crutches for one of my students who sprained an ankle. Thank-you Robin for making my family feel at home in your home.

A wonderful stay

We spent a good week here at Casa Bella. We were joined by friends. The plan was for 7 people but we were only 4. The house would easily have housed 8 people and with ample space and many seatings. We have rented many houses in Antigua over many years. This house and it's accommodations were above expectations. The kitchen was very well stocked and it's a stunningly beautiful home. Kelia, the house keeper was wonderful accommodating and helpful in all ways. We hope to return!

This house is absolutely ...

This house is absolutely gorgeous and a wonderful place to relax. We often started our day with coffee on the roof deck and breakfast at the huge dining room table. The bedrooms are super comfortable and are situated in a way that you have privacy and peace. The plants, fountains and courtyard are amazing as well. The house was very safe in a gated community and close enough to walk to markets, restaurants and all the amazing architecture. If you need a driver, Ruben is the best! Robin recommended him to us and he took care of us all week (even an adventure to Guatemala City to replace a passport!). I highly recommend this house.

Paradise in Antigua Guatemala

I’ve visited Antigua many times and this time was like coming home. The house is located on the edge of central Antigua, walking distance to the Mercado and pretty much everywhere else. The community complex is secure with 24 hour security. Our host provides much more than any other rental property I have visited throughout my journeys. The kitchen, the bathrooms were all fully equipped. Did I mention the housekeeper? Keila was the icing on the cake. Sweet, efficient, and boy can she cook! She would also shop for us if we asked. In summary… I can’t wait to return to visit and stay at this beautiful home again.

Wonderful Month Stay at Casa Bella!

My wife and I had a memorable, fantastic one month stay at Casa Bella and were joined by family for a few days. The house is wonderful and built in the traditional, Colonial style. Everything was fantastic, super-clean, comfortable and lovely. Multiple beautiful well-maintained courtyard/garden/terraces as well! The house is decorated with a beautiful collection of Guatemalan art and antiques. Everything is thoughtfully arranged for the comfort and needs of the guests including having a collection of interesting books, DVDs and games. The Wifi/internet is fast and we enjoyed streaming services via the Amazon Firestick on the living room TV. The kitchen is extremely well equipped. The housekeeper, Keila, is fantastic. We paid her extra and she cooked many delicious meals - she is a wonderful cook. So much so, that we preferred to eat in the house rather than go out to restaurants. We utilized the services of the driver, Ruben, many times including for travel to and from the airport, tours of neighboring villages and a day at the beach - Ruben is great, very reliable and speaks fluent English. Communication with the owner was always quick and helpful. We especially enjoyed the location of the house as it is easy walking distance from everything in Antigua. Having the extra security of a gated community is great as well. We give the house, Keila and Ruben our highest recommendation and look forward to spending more time there.

We hated to leave!

Robin's home was a thorough delight. Beautiful, charming, well maintained, conveniently located, safe. It's in a gated community, so you have security (friendly guards) and also the ability to park a car near the house. The view of Volcan Agua from the terrace is stunning, and you can walk up to the upper terrace to check on Volcans Fuego and Acatenango. We were two couples with various friends who came in for weekends, and there was lots of room for seven people to spread out. Communication with Robin was rapid and very pleasant. Housekeeper Virginia (~5 days/week) kept the place spotless and helped us with initial grocery shopping. The sweet gardener (Mon-Wedn-Fri) keeps the terrace and courtyard gardens in great shape. Driver Ruben helped us on many occasions with airport transfers. We would definitely come back.

Casa Bella is the perfect name for this absolutely beautiful house & even better than pictures show! The room not shown much, the living room, has 2 comfy couches, a wall of bookshelves & a rocking chair. There's the most beautiful set of stained glass windows with a cushioned bench below to sit & relax. Plenty of room for our team meetings each morning. The 2 bedrooms upstairs have a Jack & Jill bath which worked perfect for us. I've stayed in Antigua many times but this house was by far the biggest & best; screens on the courtyard doors that close after you walk through them & more flowers than I've ever seen! Fully stocked kitchen! Virginia was great & gardener didn't get in our way at all. Views from the 2 upper levels are breathtaking! We loved the swings on the lower & upper patios & plenty places to sit & enjoy the sounds of the fountain & birds. Perfectly located, just two blocks to the craft market! I only wish we had more time to have spent in the house but duty called - maybe next time Robin!

BETTER THAN THE PHOTOS

Wow! What a wonderful property and location. I honestly can say the photos on VRBO do not do justice to this property- it is spectacular. It feels like living in a museum, but also very homey. Virginia was phenomenal and very kind and friendly. Hire her to cook for you one or more meals, you won’t regret it. We were 5 adults and everyone enjoyed their privacy with the many rooms and en-suites, very spacious and lots of wonderful outdoor space. LOVED IT AND WILL DEFINITELY GO BACK.
