Beautiful house and excellent location if you want to be close to Volcan de Fuego

La casa es preciosa, muy cómoda, los detalles del agua pura en las habitaciones t el complemento en el desayuno fueron muy agradables.

One of the best AirBnB I had ever been! Thanks to Rosita we have a chilled and epic experience, huge and peaceful place! 100% recommended

Kyle's place is magical. The place is so beautiful, with all the facilities included. Good thing there's no internet that way you can enjoy the wonders of nature around the house. The place offers so many spaces, not only to rest but appreciate nature and relax. I thought the road to the house would be complicated but it's not. It's a good road and Rosita will make sure for you not to get lost and the house keepers too. We couldn't have the pleasure to meet Rosita or Kyle in person but Rosita made sure we did have a pleasant stay. She's one of a kind host! I'm overwhelmed by the beauty of the place and I hope to come back and stay at El Tular.

This has become my favorita getaway spot yet!! Wonderful and super magical place, perfect for finding inspiration, relaxing, resting and sharing with a significa the other!!! Home away from home!! Loved it!!

Our stay was very peaceful and better than we imagined! Rosita was welcoming and very helpful when we arrived. The house and property was so beautiful and comfortable. Truly a perfect place to relax, unwind, and enjoy the beauty of Guatemala.

We had the most wonderful time at this fantastic place. The library house is beautiful, comfortable and surrounded by nature. The housekeeping and host attention was also great. It's a bit far from antigua (about 20 minutes) but with the travel guidance provided by the host, we managed to reach there with no problems. Both my girlfriend and I are glad we didn't choose any expensive hotels and booked this property. Great place to vacation together. There's not much around the house so be ready to spend most of your time inside it, definitely not a problem at all if you're looking for a place to completely relax. Wi-fi wasn't ready when we arrived but we had our own personal connection through our phones, not a problem for us but make sure to speak with Kyle if you need it. Kitchen was clean and full of everything we needed. Not enough talk can do this place justice, it's simply a great place if you're looking to spend a comfortable time surrounded by the beautiful sounds of nature.

A beautiful and perfect antidote to the commerce and natural chaos of Antiqua. Eco sensitive and creative architectural solutions meld seamlessly with the outdoor landscape. Best for those lookng for some quiet time to read and rest amongst the papyrus plants and cook a meal from food purchased in Antiqua which is a good 30 minutes away. . Bring wine. Community conscious and sensitive host who runs a library project on the property creates a nice connection to the local inhabitants of this small pueblo.

Rosa was absolutely amazing! She greeted us in Antigua and brought us over to the place which is just a short drive outside the city. She showed us around the property and was incredibly helpful throughout our stay! The place itself is fantastic! Built beautifully and located in an incredibly peaceful setting. Would definitely return!

Everything about The Sabbatical House was perfect from start to end. The pictures are exactly as they appear if not nicer. Rosita met us in Antigua and drove us back to her and Kyle's magical Oasis in the hills outside of Antigua. We only spent two days here but we would have liked to stay longer and made more use of the beautiful grounds. The gardens and views are stunning. Best of all you're right on a coffee plantation. Couldn't get any better. Rosita, our host, was so wonderful and helpful. We look forward to coming back and spending more time at this Airbnb gem.

The host canceled this reservation 13 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

We had a great time in Mario's house! We were in Guatemala visiting relatives and wanted a house where our family could come and visit us in and stay over if they wanted to. Mario was very accommodating and quickly answered all of my questions! He even gave my sister-in-law and I a ride to Guatemala at the end of our stay. The views from the house of the three volcanoes are spectacular!!! It was so beautiful and relaxing to drink my tea in the morning out on the patio looking at the volcanoes! The house was also conveniently located for an easy walk to the buses to Antigua. We usually took a bus into Antigua in the morning and a taxi back in the evening (Q.40). Much better than having to rent a car and find parking! It was also great to have the T.V. room downstairs and the living room upstairs as my sons and their cousins could spend time together while the adults stayed upstairs and talked. I would definitely recommend staying at Mario's house as we will be sure to stay there the next time we visit Guatemala!

Very pleased with our stay at Mario 's beautiful and comforting home. The views from the house are astonishing as mentioned from other guests. His home is such a home that it's home away from home with a lot of character. The house sits minutes away from Antigua and is accessible to transit to Escuintla in less than an hour and just 2 hours to hit the beach in Monterico! Its also easily accessible to transit to other locations such as Tecpan or Lake Atitlan, Panajachel. My family and I very grateful with Mario's attentiveness and for his hospitality!

Mario's house was beautiful and a pleasure to stay at. We watched the volcano everyday from the dining room window which was the highlight of our trip. Mario was very helpful with anything we needed and I would recommend staying at his house if you are in that area.

Casa bellísima, con todas las comodidades que se requieren para vacacionar.

hicimos el viaje dos familias desde El Salvador por tres dias y nos hospedamos en la casa de Mario ubicada en las afueras de Antigua Guatemala muy bonita acogedora y comoda con una vista imprecionante !!! con un anfitrion muy amable y servicial regresamos muy satisfechos y encantados de un dia poder regresar a la casa de Mario.

nuestra experiencia con Mario y su casa fue excelente, la casa es acogedora y cuenta con todos los servicios, el poder disfrutar las vistas del volcàn de fuego y sus fumarolas desde la comodidad de la casa es inigualable, mi familia y yo venimos encantados, Mario es un excelente anfitrion.

La experiencia con Mario fue muy buena, tiene una casa muy bonita con muchas comodidades, la pasamos excelente. Los churrascos son muy buena opción ya que la casa se encuentra equipada para poder cocinar y cuenta con todo lo necesario. Mario fue muy atento y amistoso con nosotros, nos guío hasta su casa y estuvo al pendiente todo el tiempo a nuestras inquietudes. La vista de la casa es preciosa, pudimos ver el volcán de Fuego por la noche y también se ven las estrellas, excelente opción para descansar y además la antigua está a 15 minutos en carro.

The finca is like a little slice of paradise. I met wonderful people there, and the garden is beautiful.

Such a great spot- even better than the pictures! A beautiful garden and lovely host

Thomas y su pareja Jessica fueron muy amables en todo momento. Siempre estaban pendientes de que me sintiera cómodo y que disfrutara del lugar. La casa tal como lo indica Thomas está un poco alejado de Antigua, pero el bus pasa cada 15min y uno puede ver desde la cocina cuando el bus se viene acercando. Esto es algo que le permite a uno vivir la verdadera experiencia de Guatemala. El lugar súper tranquilo y tiene el equipo suficiente para pasar un buen rato.

Muy bien ubicado, pueblo autentico (sin turista) y cerca de Antigua para vistar (10 minutitas con chicken bus). El cuarto tiene todo, buena cama, bano privado. La familia es muy muy amable, hacen bueno desayuno. Un placer hablar y compartir con ellos.

We had a wonderful stay at Maria's gorgeous apartment. She was a fantastic host and super helpful. If you are looking for beauty, comfort and quiet this is the place to book in Antigua.

I stayed at Maria's house for two nights with family. It exceeded my expectations. Maria was very friendly and was always there if we had any questions. The house is beautiful out of all the vacation rentals i booked this was our favorite. The housing grounds are immaculate with flowers and a fountain. Beautiful views of the volcano was a plus. Once we walked in i fell in love with the style of the house with all the brick and all the art. My daughter loved that they had left out the chocolate kisses; what a nice touch also had a map of antigua which was handy. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen has all the appliances you will need. I would definitely stay again.

We could not have been more pleased with this home. We were 5 plus a baby for Christmas and it was perfect. We were all able to enjoy the space and especially enjoyed the volcano and firework views on the balcony. The house was very clean and Maria was a gracious host, quick to reply. We were a bit concerned that this wasn't in the center but actually preferred it. The house is only a few minutes drive and in a very peaceful, safe community. We will definitely rent this space again. The only thing to be aware of is the kitchen is quite small. We were able to cook just fine but it is something to consider. However Antigua has so much great food, it is better to eat out! We can't wait to return!

Hosts, father and daughter came to greet us and offered tips to other conveniences in the unit and the neighborhood and all proved to be excellent guidance. Unit is cozy and sorroundings make you feel safe.

Maria was an excellent host – even picked us up from the airport! She was prompt to all communication and the house was in perfect shape – so clean and lovely. There were only two of us and we had SO much room. To note, there is no jacuzzi. It is in the photos but no longer at the house. The house is a tad outside of town so you will need to take the bus or taxi into town; it's pretty straight forward. The guard can call you a taxi when you want. So lovely and would absolutely stay again. Thanks Maria!

Lovely split level studio in very safe and quite gated community conveniently located out side of Antigua. Plenty of transportation options - we used the local bus for going to and from Antigua as well as taxis service to the airport. We did a little bit of cooking and the kitchen was fully equipped. We enjoyed a fantastic view of the volcano at night and Maria was very communicative and easy to deal with. Both levels have full bathrooms and their is plenty of hot water. We will definately come back here and would recommend it- comfortably sleeps 4 people but there is space for 6 max. We are frequent travelers, bilingual and brought our son on this trip- everything went smoothly.

I had an amazing experience and wonderful stay at Marias home. It met beyond my expectations. Very relaxing and wonderful views of the volcanos and gardens in the area. I felt safe and relaxed at her home. The property is well guarded 24/7. The house is beautiful and very clean. Maria and her father are amazing hosts and very friendly. Her father was already there before my arrival to give me a great welcoming and show me around the house and provide all the information needed during my stay. And Maria was always there when I had a question or needed anything. I wish I was able to stay longer. Now I know that this is the house I'm going to pick on my future trips to Guatemala. I definitely recommend this home to couples or family to stay at her place.

Maria was an incredible host for my second trip out to Guatemala to stay at her place. The house is very well appointed and comfortable. The location is great with easy access to Antigua. It also provides incredible views of the volcano which was very active while I was there... such an incredible sight to behold.

Great host and great place!
