Wunderschöne "Casa Amelia" La Antigua, Guatemala

Casa Amelia ist ein beeindruckendes Antigua Haus im spanischen Kolonialstil, mit allen modernen Annehmlichkeiten und komplett eingerichtet als unser zweites Zuhause. Das hĂŒbsche, drei Jahre alte Haus mit ĂŒberdachtem Garten und ĂŒberdachtem Patio sowie Dachterrasse mit Blick auf die Berge, Vulkane und die alte spanische Kirche / Kloster gegenĂŒber, ist gemĂŒtlich und komfortabel, vermittelt aber den Eindruck von Wohnen in einem jahrhundertealten Zuhause.

Es ist buchstĂ€blich ein handgefertigtes Haus mit der Holz-, Eisen- und Steinkunst, die Antiguaner seit Jahrhunderten praktizieren. Drei Kamine, zwei in Schlafzimmern, tragen zum Ambiente bei. Drei schöne Schlafzimmer mit eigenem Bad schlafen sechs, mit einem Tagesbett und extra Matratze auf dem Schlafboden mit Blick auf das Wohnzimmer. Die KĂŒche "Cupula" und der Speisesaal mit gewölbter Decke sind Besonderheiten, die den Charme des alten Antigua widerspiegeln.

Jede Woche kommt unsere HaushĂ€lterin, um das Haus in tadellosem Zustand zu halten. Diese wunderbare "ewige Quelle" Stadt, in einer Höhe von 5.000 Fuß, bietet den besten Kaffee der Welt, der an den RĂ€ndern seiner Vulkane angebaut wird. Antigua, ein UNESCO-Denkmal der Menschheit seit 1984, wurde erhalten, nachdem es nach einem Erdbeben von 1773 aufgegeben wurde und ist voll von Ruinen von Kirchen, Klöstern, Klöstern und schönen Parks und Brunnen.

Die gepflasterten Straßen und alte Beleuchtung tragen zum Charme bei. Gehen Sie ĂŒberall von unserer Baumstraße aus, die sich im Umkreis von 10 Quadratkilometern der Altstadt befindet. Wir sind in der Stadt, aber "weg" auf der einzigen von BĂ€umen gesĂ€umten ruhigen Straße der Stadt, 1/2 Block von einem schönen Viertel Park. Antigua wurde in den letzten 4 Jahrzehnten weitgehend restauriert und bietet Gourmet-Restaurants, Spas und Boutiquen.

Spanische Sprachschulen gibt es im Überfluss (einschließlich fast nebenan) und bieten erstaunlich gĂŒnstigen und effektiven Einzelunterricht fĂŒr Spanisch fĂŒr den aufstrebenden spanischen Sprecher. Schlendern Sie auf der Central Plaza, kaufen Sie auf dem riesigen Handwerkermarkt ein, auf dem Vertreter der lebhaften Maya-Bevölkerung Guatemalas ihre Waren ausstellen, bei Sonnenuntergang entspannen, wĂ€hrend sich die Vulkane mit Farbe fĂŒllen, oder TagesausflĂŒge in die nahegelegenen Maya-StĂ€dte unternehmen. Antigua zu erleben ist ein wahres Abenteuer. es ist bereit, Ihre Phantasie zu erfassen.

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

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.

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!!

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...

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.

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.

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.

Perfect!!

Our family of four plus our two elderly parents traveled with us to Antigua to experience the wonder and beauty of Semana Santos. Casa Amelia was perfect in every way for us! The home was beautifully furnished, clean, well equipped and very comfortable for all of us. (Two bedrooms on the ground floor made it easy for our octogenarian mothers to navigate without stairs.) The home is in a quiet area of Antigua that felt very safe to us all. The caretaker of the house lives next door and was very helpful and friendly. She invited us to help her family with the making of the colored sawdust rug for the Holy week processions - this was a real treat! The owner, Geri, went out of her way to provide recommendations and tips for making our stay in Antigua a great one. She is a true pleasure to deal with. We'd stay in Casa Amelia again in heartbeat!! and recommend it to others without reservation!!

Character, charm and comfort!

Casa Amelia provided a unique blend of character, charm and comfort that was so befitting of this captivating city and country. We had all of the comforts of home--fully equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, good showers, TV and Internet--in a setting that we could never find at home. Talk about architectural interest and charm! What could be more wonderful--and unexpected--than eating breakfast in the landscaped central courtyard or climbing up to the loft to curl up for some quiet time alone? (The photos don't do it justice.) Casa Amelia had everything we needed to ease our tired bodies while lifting our spirits with its charm. It was the perfect launching pad for spending hours and dollars at the Indian market, exploring volcanoes, climbing ruins and strolling through unexpected art galleries. The owners clearly know and love Antigua and helped us explore beyond the travel guides, dine at good restaurants and even find a cobbler to fix a broken heel. My time in Antigua was all too short and I hope to return for a longer visit and stay at Casa Amelia.
