About this property
Authentic Private Villa in Downtown Curaçao with Art Garden & Private Pool
Welcome to Villa Artavista — your private, art-filled oasis in the heart of Curaçao. Tucked just steps away from the colorful streets of Willemstad and the sparkling shores of Avila Beach, this one-of-a-kind villa blends Caribbean charm with bold creativity and modern comfort.
Start your mornings with fresh coffee on the breezy balcony, where cozy loungers and local art surround you, and the Queen Juliana Bridge peeks out over the rooftops. The open-concept living area flows effortlessly to the patio, where a leather sofa and handcrafted wooden swing bench invite you to relax poolside.
The fully equipped kitchen makes cooking a joy — with a 5-burner gas stove, convection oven, double-door fridge, and even a filtered water tap for fresh drinking water. But no worries if cooking isn't your thing — you’re surrounded by fantastic restaurants and cafés just a short walk away. Whether you’re in the mood for local seafood, Latin flavors, fine dining, or casual beachside eats, the neighborhood has it all. You won’t need a car to explore the best of Curaçao’s culinary scene.
The lush tropical garden is one of Villa Artavista’s most enchanting features. Scattered with unique, locally made art pieces, it’s a private retreat that feels worlds away from the city — even though you’re right in the center of it.
Relax in the private pool, stretch out on a lounger, or read a book in the shade of the patio. At the back of the garden, you’ll find a hidden lounge area with a smart TV (login to your own streaming accounts), perfect for a quiet movie night under the stars.
The balcony is another favorite spot, with multiple sitting areas and loungers where you can enjoy your morning coffee or evening drink while watching the sun set behind the Queen Juliana Bridge in the distance. And the best part? You’re in one of the few areas on the island where everything is walkable — trendy cafés, beach bars, local galleries, live music, and unforgettable sunsets are all just around the corner.
With two large bedrooms, each with its own private bathroom, Villa Artavista is perfect for travelers seeking luxury, authenticity, and a walkable Curaçao experience.

The house was amazing. My wife and 3 children enjoyed every minute of it. The pool is pretty huge with an outdoor tv which was perfect for movies and sports. I had no issues with the wifi. It had everything we needed. Location is great, only few minutes away from town. We did rent a car to beach hop daily. This was our second time coming and if we come back ill likely try to rent the same house again. It has very nice art decor, something to see in every corner. The home really shines in the evening, the lighting sets the whole house off. Its so good, the outdoor kitchen and seating is awesome. The host was very sweet and she was waiting at the home when we arrived, even had a few welcome beverages and snacks for us and the kids. 100% recommend

About the host
Your host
My name is Rohani. Originally from Amsterdam (The Netherlands), I’ve been living on the beautiful island of Curaçao for over six years now.
I rent out a lovely villa owned by friends of mine and work at one of the most inspiring places on the island: the Children’s Museum of Curacao. I truly believe that we learn by doing!
I'm also deeply connected to “our island” and love sharing tips on where to go, what to see, and how to experience the best of Curaçao.
When I'm not working, my alter ego sings in a band where we do cover songs of all the greatest hits (mostly 70s, 80s and 90s). I love making people happy with what I do, the children at my work, the audience with my band and hopefully you in the villa that I rent out.
Feel free to reach out — if you have any questions, just let me know!
Why they chose this property
Once a quiet, faded neighborhood, Pietermaai has transformed over the past 10 years into one of the most vibrant and beloved areas on the island. With its colorful colonial buildings, creative energy, and buzzing local scene, it’s now considered the beating heart of Willemstad.
What makes Pietermaai truly special is how walkable it is — something quite rare on Curaçao. From Villa Artavista, you can walk to everything: - Trendy restaurants and cozy cafés - Local art galleries and design shops - Beautiful beaches like Avila Beach - Historic Punda and Otrobanda with boutiques, floating market, and museums - Live music, cocktails, and nightlife just around the corner
Villa Artavista fits right into this unique setting. With its character-filled architecture, open layout, and carefully curated art pieces in and around the home, it offers an experience that’s as inspiring as the neighborhood itself.
A stay here means you don’t just visit Curaçao — you live and feel it, right from the heart of its most creative and walkable district.
What makes this property unique
What makes Villa Artavista truly special is the feeling it gives you the moment you walk in — a sense of calm, creativity, and character that’s hard to find elsewhere.
This isn’t just a rental home — it’s a place that tells a story. Every corner reveals a new detail: a handpicked artwork, a sculptural piece in the garden, or a cozy reading nook bathed in natural light.
The tropical garden is a hidden sanctuary, filled with local plants, playful art installations, and a private pool that invites you to slow down and recharge. Whether you're lounging on the swing, or sipping your morning coffee with birdsong in the background, there's a natural peace here that contrasts beautifully with the lively city just outside the gate.
The home’s old soul — reflected in its architecture, wooden shutters, and open design — blends seamlessly with curated, modern touches. It's both authentic and surprising, full of texture and soul, and designed for guests who appreciate places with personality.
In short: Villa Artavista is more than a stay — it’s an experience.
