Excelente rincón para desconectarse y en caso de querer conectarse a escasos 20mins de Antigua Guatemala.

Excelente host. Recomendadisimo

Lindo el lugar, tranquilo y con las comodidades descritas

Muy bonita casa, limpia y ordenada. Puntuales y excelente comunicación con el host.

Everything that you see in the photos is available, and still they dont do it justice. The organised airport picked is a gentleman and made the process very easy. The accomidation is very safe and quiet with amazing views. Without a doubt, if we come back to Antigua we would always stay here again.

Un sitio lleno de paz y naturaleza

This place was pure magic. Located in central Antigua with everything in a block's distance. It's like walking out of a dream.

Although I cannot comment on the Casa Bella property, as I did not stay there I can highly recommend the experience that Charles provided. From finding me in a large crowd in Parque Central to arranging for alternative lodging to better suit my needs (directly in the city at the height of Semana Santa) everything went beautifully. The space provided adjacent to Santa Clara was perfect for my needs. Thank you Charles.

This listing is inside a gated community a town and a half away from Antigua. Not very convenient. Almost impossible to find through the Airbnb directions. Walking out to the street you will find nothing but busy traffic on a highway. Although Charles and his live in girl of the house seem nice... there is an undercurrent that is not very welcoming. I had a really difficult time here. Upon entering my room there was a box spring but no mattress and a small side table. Forcing me to lay most of my gear on the floor. And sleep literally on a box frame wood... really uncomfortable. I was traveling with multiple cameras and equipment and was looking for a safer place to be. This was not the case. In the morning after using the restroom I laid down and after waking up an hour later the room was full of 1/2 inch of water... I immediately ran to Charles and explained the urgency of the situation. I pulled all my gear outside and began to try to salvage it. This led me to losing the entire day while I monitored and ran water damage triage on every piece of equipment... Charles and his girlfriend's main concern was getting water out of a stone walled room... super easy... there was really no concern shown about the destruction of my equipment... I could hear his girlfriend screaming "NADA NADA! " As she explained to Charles what they were going to do in this case. It was really messed up. The only help I asked was to find a micro screwdriver in town to take apart my gear... this was done grudgingly... I was even left in the market by his girlfriend who didn't even want me to go with her and didn't walk with me in or out of the market... I was just running to catch up... It was strange. After losing over a thousand dollars in equipment and the entire day I made some food at the house and asked if there was safe water to drink in the house... This was politely shown to me... then followed by a comment in Spanish... by her... that it's one thing after another and it will never end... as if I didn't understand. I would never recommend this place to anyone.

Nos recibió la madre del anfitrión, muy linda persona y con excelente disposición a ayudarnos. La casa es muy linda y está bien ubicada (hay que tener cuidado porque se confunden las casas que tienen, son dos, una en el centro de antigua y otra a las afueras). La cama no estaba en buen estado y la habitación tenía algo de polvo.

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.

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.

If you're looking to get away from the city to enjoy the scenery or just keep to yourself, this is your place. Stunning views, comfortable house, and lovely hosts. Would definitely come back!!

This house is beautiful, serene and lives up to it's name as the Sabbatical House. It is great for some peaceful time away. There are plenty of books in both English and Spanish and many quiet nooks to relax and read. The grounds are lovely and inviting. I especially love all the stained glass windows and the spacious shower. A wonderful place to relax and recharge!

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

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!!

Kyle and Rosita are kind, helpful people! My son stayed here for 2 weeks while working on his Spanish and he (we) were blessed to have found the Sabbatical house for him to stay and take in this village gem! We will be back, also thanks to Carlos, Nayo and Tomas.

What a treat ... hard to describe, as one needs to experience the many facets of beauty, both inside and on the grounds. Spectacular, breath taking, and a privilege. Rosa is a stunning human being and host.

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!

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

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
