Informazioni su questa struttura

Splendida "Casa Amelia" La Antigua, Guatemala

  • Casa Amelia è una splendida casa in stile coloniale spagnolo di Antigua, con tutti i comfort moderni e completamente arredata come la nostra seconda casa. La bella casa di tre anni, con giardino interno e patio coperto, nonché terrazza sul tetto con vista sulle montagne, i vulcani e la vecchia chiesa / convento spagnolo dall'altra parte della strada, è accogliente e confortevole, ma dà l'impressione di vivere in una casa secolare

    È letteralmente una casa artigianale con l'arte del legno, del ferro e della pietra che gli Antiguani hanno praticato per secoli. Tre camini in legno, due nelle camere da letto, aggiungono all'ambiente. Tre deliziose camere da letto con bagno privato dormiranno sei, con un divano letto e materasso extra sul soppalco con vista sul soggiorno. La cucina "cupula" e la sala da pranzo con soffitto a volta sono caratteristiche speciali che catturano il fascino della vecchia Antigua.

    Ogni settimana la nostra governante viene a mantenere la casa in ottime condizioni. Questa meravigliosa città "eterna primavera", a un'altitudine di 5.000 piedi, aumenta il caffè migliore del mondo coltivato sulle gonne dei suoi vulcani. Antigua, monumento dell'umanità dell'UNESCO dal 1984, è stata preservata dopo essere stata abbandonata in seguito a un terremoto del 1773 ed è piena di rovine di chiese, conventi, monasteri e incantevoli parchi e fontane.

    Le strade di ciottoli e le vecchie luci aggiungono fascino. Cammina ovunque dalla nostra strada alberata situata nel raggio di 10 metri quadrati della città vecchia. Siamo in città, ma "via" sull'unica strada tranquilla alberata della città, a mezzo isolato da un bel parco di quartiere. L'Antigua è stata ampiamente restaurata negli ultimi 4 decenni e vanta ristoranti gourmet, centri benessere e boutique alla moda.

    Le scuole di lingua spagnola abbondano (incluso quasi la porta accanto) e offrono lezioni di spagnolo uno a uno incredibilmente economiche ed efficaci per l'aspirante oratore spagnolo. Passeggia nella Central Plaza, fai shopping nell'enorme mercato artigianale dove i rappresentanti della vivace popolazione maya moderna del Guatemala sfoggiano le loro mercanzie, rilassati al tramonto mentre i vulcani incombenti si riempiono di colori o fanno gite giornaliere nelle vicine città maya, ognuna con la sua imbarcazione speciale. Vivere ad Antigua è una vera avventura; è pronto per catturare la tua immaginazione.

Amazing house in Antigua

We had a fantastic stay and I can't wait to stay at this property again! Well located in Antigua, easy access to everything in town but just far enough out of the center to be more quiet and relaxing. House is stunning and comfortable with everything needed for a great stay.

Best place for anyone looking for the tru essence of Antigua. Great location, colonial stile infrastructure capturing the best use of space. Great for families, couples, adults and single spirited people. My spouse, daughter eme stayed here for 3 nights. My daughter and my wife are already thinking of coming back alone. Highly recommend if you are looking for a peaceful location.

Beautiful home

Really comfortable beds. Lovely artwork throughout. The kitchen dining area was great. The fountain and sitting area in the center of the home was amazing and relaxing. Well appointed kitchen with spring water. Rooftop patio was a bonus. Bit of a walk to parque central but easy to get tuk-tuk. Local property manager was helpful. George was very responsive

This home has gone a long time without good cleaning. Before the host tries to say the dirt is because it’s an old house in a colonial town, I’d like to preface that my family is from Antigua and I still have a bunch of family who live in homes just like this one. This is not dirty because it’s old. It’s dirty because nobody is taking care of it. There were blood stains on a duvet (without a duvet cover), the mold smell in the master bedroom is overwhelming. It comes from the washer and dryer which are also super moldy, therefore all the towels smell like mold. We did a load of laundry and couldn't wear any of our clothes because they wreaked so badly of mildew. We had to take them to a laundry lady. It was warm at night but we didn't dare turn on the fan in the bedroom because it was filled with dust and unusable. There was hair and a pieces of someone else's bar soap in the shower with the drain cover removed, and one toilet was filthy. We couldn't cook in the kitchen because everything had food stuck on or lipstick marks. We had to buy slippers because the floors were so dirty our socks were sticking to them. The shower heads are so calcified and filthy that water trickles out. There are cobwebs everywhere and dust a 1/4 inch thick. The host had the audacity to try to charge us 100 to drop our bags early despite there being no guests the night before. I think this property is just a money grab and nobody really cares for it. The pictures and the price are VERY deceiving.

House with character and charm!

This house was gorgeous! We loved the decor and the colonial style of the house. The central fountain garden was relaxing. House has good supply of towels, laundry, etc. the location is excellent and easy to walk around old Antigua. Also felt very safe. Parking right outside the property. WiFi equipped. We traveled with a 2 yr old and 5 yr old. The open stair case stressed my husband more than it did me. We moved the dining table against the stair case to break a fall just in case. There are 2 sets of stairs FYI in case you’re traveling w small kids. (My husband and I have different levels of risk aversion LOL). The only place my toddler fell was in the fountain. It wasn’t a big deal. We also moved the breakable nicknacks to higher level so the kids wouldn’t play w them. House would be great for families probably with older kids. We still loved it!!

I really wanted to like it but...

My wife, three children and I stayed at this property for about a week out of our month long stay in Antigua for Spanish School. Out of the four places we stayed this was our least favorite. It’s proximity to the central part of Antigua is good, but it is directly across the street from an abandoned lot that doesn’t give the feel of safety. In the other direction are the ruins of a church which are unbelievably beautiful but is also the place where events are held. For the Friday and Saturday of our stay, the blaring music from a couple weddings was going until the wee hours of the morning. Pair this with drunk people shooting off fireworks literally 10 feet from the bedroom window...there was not much sleep going on. Outside the front door of the house smelled of urine the whole time we were there most likely due to the location a few houses down from a hostal and at the end of a street. To her credit the property manager tried to clean it and wash it, but it really didn’t help much. In the kitchen, there was no dishwasher as noted in the description of the property, only a hole where one must have been. The last couple days we were there the property manager also had to come and spray for cockroaches as the day before we had killed four of then and my kids wouldn’t sleep without the light on at night.

Nice enough house, but not what we expected from the pictures

Let me first say that we had an enjoyable stay, that the housekeeper was extremely friendly and very efficient, and that the house IS nice, although a little cramped for 6 adults. I was really very glad I didn't invite two more friends. A lot of rooms were crammed into a 1600 square feet space, so the house is like a half scale version of the old Antigua Colonial Houses we had stayed at before over the years.The confusion is partly my fault, I should have read the description more carefully. But mostly, what fooled me was the juxtaposition of the first two pictures. The first is a tight shot of the corner window and door of the actual house. The second is a wide shot of a beautiful street lined with old Colonial houses, showing on the extreme right a big white house with VERY SIMILAR corner windows and metal bars. The implication to me was that THAT was the house I was renting. It looked like any other big old Colonial house we had stayed at before, and that is what my wife and I expected. Therefore our disappointment with the small scale of the rooms. Also, the block around the corner is an empty lot closed with rusting corrugated iron sheets, and the block directly across the front door is the tall metal gate and wall of the large Santa Rosa compound. Clean, but not very charming. The neighboring houses are very basic and poor, the sidewalk is dirt, and full of motorcycles and old cars. Dont get me wrong, I spoke to the neighbors, they were very nice people, and we did not have any problems at all. That just wasn't quite the neighborhood we expected from that second picture. The rest of the street IS lined with flowering trees for a few blocks, and that made the 10 blocks or so walk to the Parque Central rather enjoyable. I was OK, I am accommodating, but I have to say my wife was very disappointed when she walked in the door, and made it clear to me she wished I had rented the same house as last year. Live and learn! I feel the juxtaposition of these first two pictures is intentionally deceiving. It DID deceived me, and completely changed my perception of the other pictures, making me envision a much larger house with a big patio and large terrasses on the roof. That second picture should DEFINITELY be removed, and replaced with one showing the actual street. That would be more honest and accurate. I actually have a very good panorama of the whole neighborhood I would gladly include here and share, but VRBO doesn't offer me that possibility...

Lovely home in antigua

This is a lovely home in a great location in Antigua. The pros: location is great, on a quiet corner but just a 10-15 minute walk to so many of the sights, shops and restaurants. Home set up is flexible with two queen bedrooms, a bedroom with 2 twins, and a loft short twin bed. Furnishings are lovely in a rustic guatemalan style. The next door neighbor, Angela, is super lovely and helpful and accessible. The courtyard and upstairs patios are great for hanging out. Wifi works well. Plenty of hot water. The cons: communication with owner was difficult. I understand his mother used to manage the place and she passed away recently, so it is in his charge now, but he never responded to any of my messages months before our trip or to questions, nor checked in at any time. The home was not stocked at all (toilet paper, paper towels, napkins, oil, salt, sugar, tin foil,etc had to be purchased). There were no useful spices. Beds were well used, ok for myself and the kids, but really uncomfortable for my husband who has back problems. The washer works fine (no detergent available) but the dryer was terrible and took 3-4 cycles to dry a reasonably small load. The set up is such that the house has two wings, the doors each lock from the inside , but since we had kids sleeping in both wings, we had to keep the doors unlocked all night- still felt safe (patio has a high wall) but would not be ideal if you would feel uncomfortable doing so youself. The city itself felt very safe.

Very lovely house in a great area of Antigua!

Overall very well eqipped house with a few exceptions like only 4 teaspoons, one sauce pan, but 6 fry pans. Also the coffee maker leaks all over when you try to pour it.Had trouble with both washer and dryer while we were there but managers called for a repairman immediately. We found that the floors seemed very dirty even right after the young girl supposedly cleaned the house.The managers were very accommodating whenever we needed more drinking water though.

Lovely home full of Guatemalan art and culture; Great location & spacious for a family!

We really enjoyed staying here for 2 weeks. Owners communicated with us in advance and during the stay. The local contacts were friendly and responsive. Lovely Guatemalan art, great bookshelf, convenient location for a bit of privacy but easy access to the city. Would definitely recommend to others.

Perfect location and hospitable town!

We enjoyed our 2-week stay at Casa Amelia very much. The neighbors/caretakers gave us helpful tips (including attending a 10 am mass on Sunday at Santa Domingo, just around the corner - one of the most spectacular settings for a church service we have experienced). We enjoyed walking to everything and taking a different route home each time. Our girls (6 and 10) had a terrific experience studying for a week at the Spanish school Don Pedro Alvarado. Internet in the house was reliable/fast enough for me to work on my laptop when needed. Cooking was a pleasure in the fully equipped kitchen - we cooked a full thanksgiving feast. Our only issue during the stay was that during our second night in the house (a Thursday), there was a long series of explosions in the streets just outside. It really put us on edge, until we leaned from the neighbor in the morning that they had just been fireworks, probably related to multiple weddings (although what was odd was that it was completely silent except for the fireworks...). In fact, we heard fireworks on most of the remaining nights we were there - so in the hopes of saving others worry, we wanted to mention it. Once we knew what it was, it just added to the ambiance. Thanks for a terrific vacation!

We were 6 adults and three middle age couples who enjoyed our stay in Casa Amelia. The description of the house was correct and we loved the quiet but central location. we had positive communications with the gracious owners (from the US) We cooked and ate in often, enjoying the well equipped kitchen and lovely dining area. The house had a lot of character and we enjoyed the library as well. Would the broken wicker furniture on the patio upstairs be replaced- it would be perfect. This was a minor problem. We loved the house and liked the guardians (next door) who were helpful. we hope to return for maybe longer next winter. Thank you!!

Perfect Location

Located on the most beautiful street in Antigua, and just a stroll to Parque Central. We spent 2 weeks enjoying this beautiful home. We are a group of volunteers working with The God's Child Project, and we loved coming home to this home with everything we could have wished for. The full moon was incredible from the roof top patio, and quiet morning coffee in the fountain courtyard. We ate in more than out because the huge kitchen and dining room were so well equipped and we could enjoy our evenings as a group at home. We loved that each bedroom had it's own bathroom, and there was a large bright loft area as well. When we did go out to eat, it was just a short stroll to Hector's (our favourite place) Also, the day spa and gym was only a few blocks away. We were so delighted when we went through the door into this home, as pictures never do justice to just how truly special it is. Thank you Gerri for the use of your exceptional home! I love Antigua, and expect to be back every year.

8 Weeks in Casa Amelia

We spent the last 8 weeks at Casa Amelia and had a lovely time. This home is very nice and has all of the modern conveniences anyone could wish for. We had more than enough room for our family of 4 and the home could very easily accommodate two families. I really liked that my kids were sleeping in the room directly above me and I could hear them if need be. Often colonial houses are spread out making it difficult to hear little ones. We fell in love with the location as it is close to everything. We walked everywhere in the city and only took a tuk tuk home in the evening when it was late. This home is in a very nice part of town with restaurants, tiendas and bakeries nearby (the main grocery is on the other side of town, but still an easy walk). A real highlight for us is that there is a bi-lingual Montessori school (Oxford) just across the street. They have a very flexible enrollment and take pre-school kids through age 10. Additionally very near is a great Gym for working out (La Fabrica) and a wonderful Spanish school ( Sevilla) all within a 5-8 minute walk ( both off of 1st avenida). While the home is not in a gated community we always felt very safe and comfortable coming and going. The neighbors and the house ladies who live next door and look after the home were super helpful as are the owners of this home who live in the US. They were more than accommodating and helped to make our visit wonderful. Antigua is a lively little city, so there will be some city noise. Buses, people, cars, firecrackers and sirens are a common occurrence. For us it was all a part of the Central American charm. This is a great place to make a home base to explore the region and get a real feel for the culture.
