Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Central America

This is our second time staying at Casa Gisela, we love this home and neighborhood so much.

This home was incredible! Not only is the location fantastic - private, right on the lake, easy to drive to, walkable to San Marcos - but it is decorated, furnished and staffed to feel like a luxury getaway. I would recommend taking the staff up on the option to have a chef and massage therapist come during your stay. I cannot say enough good things about this place. It was the perfect getaway for our family and we look forward to returning.

La Casita del Lago was the perfect location for a gun and relaxing family trip. Lots of room for everyone, outdoor and indoor areas were comfortable and well designed. We used the grill and fire pit, hammocks and paddle boards. The best part was the support by the staff at the house, Rudy, Rosa and Maria were fantastic and they made our stay memorable. we will definitely come back!

The location was very peaceful, but very close walking to amazing restaurants, coffee shops and just a couple of blocks to the hub of Antigua. The roof deck had incredible views of the volcanoes.

This two story house was surrounded by lush coffee fields on three sides. There are windows everywhere on every wall creating light and letting in the fresh breezes. The bedrooms and living room all had room darkening shades. The amazing view from the second story balcony included sunrises and sunsets over the mountains around this coffee valley. The neighborhood is peaceful, quiet and safe to walk at any time of day or night. Our favorite way to end the day was to build a fire in the fireplace, roast marshmallows and enjoy a drink. We love to cook Tico style and the kitchen was well stocked with sharp knives, rice cooker, blender, pots and pans and three ways to make coffee. :-) It was a great kitchen! The house was clean and there were plenty of towels and sheets to use. The only challenge came from being in a coffee field. Each morning we swept out numerous bugs from their night adventures. It was obvious the house had been sprayed since none of the bugs were very active.

We really enjoyed staying at this property, it’s so peaceful with lots of space. I recommend!!

Very quiet, secluded with a view of the valley. Great value in my opinion.

Location is everything! This house is located about 10 blocks away from Parque Central which is phenomenal for Antigua. The house is 2 doors down from a main church so there are bells ringing in the morning. Sensational views of the Volcan Agua and Fuego from the terrace. Cannot get any more ‘Antigua’ than this! If you’re after ‘quiet’ - this is not for you. But if you want authentic - stay here! The house itself is cozy and feels like a real home. Little sitting rooms spread out, reading nooks and private courtyards gave us lots of space to just be. The kitchen was well stocked and spacious. The bedrooms are all quaint and comfortable. We came during summer, so it was hot. But that’s expected. We used fans that were provided. Bathrooms were clean and had basic amenities. The wifi was a little hit and miss, but we managed. Across the road is a great bakery and down the block a fantastic restaurant- highly recommend. Overall our stay was magical. Thank you Paula! Well come again!

Beautiful space with a lovely garden. Jose was a wonderful and friendly host. Thank you so much!

The pictures don’t do this place justice; it is absolutely gorgeous, stunning, and beautiful. The textures, architecture, furniture, and built-ins are exceptionally complementary. The outside also gives off great vibes. The host was wonderful and communicated well, providing me with everything I needed and more. I am so grateful for this experience, and anyone who stays there will love it. In a word wonderful!

The place is quite clean and cozy. I would stay at his accommodation without a doubt, quite kind and respectful above all 10/10

Great spot, close to everything and has all the amenities you would want. Doesn’t have a/c but they do provide fans. Such a lovely little spot and so close to everything. Would stay again!

Mega recommended!! We loved the location as it is very close to downtown and shopping And it's a super quiet and cozy area for everyone It's just like the pictures and the host is super nice. 🤗

Perfect! We had an amazing stay. Great location, super clean, and lots of amenities. Everything was as described. We had a great stay

A nice and spacious place, easy instructions, safe parking, of course I would stay in the place again

It was an excellent stay! The place is quiet and without a lot of noise as it is not inside the main town helmet, without being very far from the center, only 7 min walk from the handicrafts market and 15-20 from the central park. In addition, the attention to detail in the apartment is incredible! A bottle of wine to welcome us, firewood in the fireplaces, lights adorning the patio and the equipped kitchen with everything you need (including a good coffee). We only stayed 2 adults and the space was ideal for a couple, I consider that 2 other people would fit since they have an extra bed, only a little tighter. The photos on the listing are accurate, with stained glass windows and attention to improve the experience. The attention was friendly and fast but not very flexible, which is understood by the care they give to the place, only would not be the option if they are looking for a different check-in/out than the listing. All and all, would always come back, a unique experience:)

This location is so beautiful and unique! It is like being in a multi tiered treehouse in the jungle that is a block from civilization. One afternoon we had monkeys visit us and play on the trees around the house and roof! The host and housekeeper are very responsive. Know that some beds and rooms are separate apartments. But the main house is beautiful wood with an open layout that we all met up in by the fireplace in the evening. Amazing memories and trip!

What a beautiful home with a truly wonderful staff! We absolutely love staying here. Susy is an incredible cook, and Samuel, the groundskeeper, is always so attentive and kind. The bedrooms are comfortable, and the multiple bathrooms throughout the house make it perfect for our large group of 20. Staying with Eric and his team is always a pleasure. We can’t recommend it enough!

amazing place in the perfect location .. Diana was great to interact with .. don't hesitate about booking!

Our family had a great time here. We even felt home sick for this place after we moved on to other locations. Our family has decided that next year we'd like to book the same place for longer. The caretakers on the ground make the stay super pleasant and helped us arrange multiple trips and rides. Awesome people. Can't wait to return. ACs are super cold, house is huge inside, the terrace is so peaceful.

The stay was great, easy to find, everything was very clean, I recommend it

This estate in Antigua is absolutely stunning — hands down one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever stayed. The grounds are bursting with vibrant flowers, and the home itself feels like a private paradise. It’s spacious, serene, and perfect if you’re looking to unwind and take in the natural beauty of the area. The groundskeeper lives on-site and was incredibly kind and helpful throughout our stay. Just something to be aware of: he’s the one who opens the gate each time you come and go, which was fine but I personally would’ve preferred having a key for a bit more independence. Also, there’s no A/C and the windows don’t have screens, so we weren’t comfortable leaving them open at night — it did get a little warm. Still, the charm and peacefulness of the estate more than made up for that. If you’re looking for a beautiful, unique stay surrounded by nature, this place is a gem!

Cyril’s home was amazing. Very private, spacious and Evelyn was extremely helpful with local recommendations and any other questions we had (quick we had a lot) lol. The private driver was also very convenient. Would absolutely stay here again.

Wow! The pictures don’t do the place justice. Our group which included 4 couples, really enjoyed the place. We all had our separate rooms/bathrooms, and plenty of space for gatherings. Communication with host was great, was able to arrange private chef, and massages. Jorge, which is the property manager was a gem. He was able to arrange all of our transportation needs. We had no issues. Overall, amazing home, would definitely recommend.
