Villa Isabel, a vacation home for rent in Antigua, Guatemala

A Hillside Sanctuary with Colonial Charm

This vacation home for rent in Antigua blends traditional colonial architecture with modern design, just minutes from the city's heart. A private sanctuary perched on a lush hillside, it offers panoramic views of the surrounding mountains but invites slow mornings, shared meals, and sun-drenched afternoons by the pool. With its terracotta rooflines and arched corridors, the villa tells a story of place—rooted in history yet refreshed for contemporary living.

With its carefully restored finishes and thoughtful layout, the home feels both expansive and intimate, creating a welcoming space for gatherings. The design philosophy is centered on blending the home with its landscape, with sun-drenched spaces and open volumes that capture the essence of the surrounding highlands. The open-plan layout flows between living, dining and lounging spaces, with curated furnishings and art. The fully equipped kitchen includes modern appliances, while lounge nooks with books invite reflection.

The heart of Villa Isabel is its lush courtyard garden, where a pool with mountain views is surrounded by greenery and tropical flora. There is an outdoor lounge with a shaded dining area, and a rooftop terrace offers sweeping sunset vistas.

Layout

This vacation home accommodates up to eight guests. The villa includes three spacious bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom. The open-plan layout connects the living room, which features a fireplace and garden views, to the indoor dining area with seating for eight. There is easy access to the courtyard and pool from the main living spaces.
