We stayed at this property with our 3 teenage children for four nights. The view of the hillside is spectacular and the property is one of the most unique and beautiful that we have ever stayed. The directions to the house were very clear. The road up to the house is unpaved and pretty bumpy. Only one room has air conditioning but the others have fans and they helped on the hot nights. One of our favorite memories of the trip was having Consuelo cook a traditional Belizean meal. We will never forget how delicious and special it was!

Everything was great! We loved staying here, communication with Katia was easy, and Consuelo was a sweetheart. The pool was much larger than the pictures made it look, and we enjoyed swimming in it every day! The grounds were beautiful also, and we felt like we were in an oasis in the middle of the jungle!A few cautions: the road at the end is a bit bumpy and steep. If you go the wrong way it is REALLY steep and 100

Postcard View

We loved our time at this property. It’s beautifully maintained, and it’s clear the owners have put a lot of care and thought into both the home’s design and the surrounding grounds. Everything felt intentional and welcoming.The setting is incredibly serene, truly a peaceful escape. The only sounds we heard were neighboring goats, roosters, turkeys, and the songs of tropical birds. Combined with the stunning views and the relaxing pool, the whole experience felt like stepping into a postcard.By far, the highlight of our stay was Consuelo. She is unbelievably kind and helpful, and she made us our favorite meal of the entire trip. I’ve never been excited about tortillas and beans until I had Consuelo’s. I can’t recommend the welcome dinner enough.Katia, the owner, was also wonderful. Very accommodating and responsive. She graciously allowed us to drop off our bags early on the first day and helped us out when I forgot to send in our dinner order.The only downside was that the master bedroom didn’t have air conditioning. This made the first night uncomfortable for me, but I quickly adjusted.Overall, we had a lovely experience and would absolutely recommend staying here.

This was an amazingly beautiful and overall comfortable home in Santa Elena, Belize. The kitchen was well stocked, the beds were comfortable and the bedding was soft. The home was clean and secure.The only disappointment was when I read "ac" in the description, I presumed more of the home would have ac. The only ac was in a small bedroom that had a double bed. Overall, the home is very open and a constant breeze kept it mostly comfortable.I would stay here again for sure!

Great Stay in Cayo District

Our family had a great time during our spring break. The house was clean, comfortable, and in a great location for our day trips to the ATM cave, Mayan ruins in Belize, and visiting Tikal. The host was great and met us on arrival and was there for check out. You should also consider arranging for the arrival dinner. It was really good and made for a relaxing first night.the gardens were beautiful, well maintained and the kids loved the pool.

Gorgeous home

We had a great 3 nights in Santa Elena. The home was perfect for us, three teenage boys, my husband and I. Katia had great communication, made excellent recommendations for some fun adventures while we were there. Consuelo cooked us a delicious Christmas dinner. We couldn’t have asked for a better meal, eating on the veranda with a beautiful view overlooking the hills. So pretty! The home is a great location for adventures around San Ignacio and an excellent place to retreat to after a busy day. Comfy beds, hot showers, hammocks everywhere, just sit back and relax:)

Hillview House

This house in Santa Elena is so cool! Our family of 5 stayed here for three nights. The house itself is well maintained, very spacious and clean. The views around the property are gorgeous and the surroundings are lush and so peaceful. We had Consuelo cook for us one nights and it was the best as she prepared food and cleaned up everything after. We got to relax after a long day. And Consuelo is so sweet and helpful. Wonderful stay and would highly recommend!

Paradise on top of the hill

We had a wonderful stay at Katia's property! The house was beautiful and the pool and the view were outstanding. We had everything we needed and communication with Katia and the other staff was excellent. My only complaint is that only one of the three bedrooms has AC, and when we were there it was HOT (consistently in the high 30s/40+ degrees C), so sleeping at night in the non-airconditioned bedrooms was quite warm - but opening the windows and putting the fans on did help. We would definitely stay again and recommend Katia's house to others looking for a well located, beautiful and peaceful retreat. Thanks! Carly

Beautiful hilltop home

Everything about our stay was amazing! Katia is a highly responsive communicator and helpful resource, and the housekeeper, Consuelo, well let's just say I wanted to see if I could convince her to come home with us permanently! She was so kind-hearted and made us the most delectable meal. The views and yard are breathtaking (we saw toucans from the porch most nights!), the pool was a hit with the kids, we enjoyed the multiple hammocks, and the home's overall aesthetics were wonderful. The beds were all very comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. We were here during dry season and had no problem getting up the hill without 4 wheel drive, but I bet that would be different during the wet season. The property description clearly says this, but keep in mind that only 1 bedroom has a/c. We happened to be here during a HOT week, and ended up moving a couple of extra mattresses into the bedroom with a/c because sleeping without a/c was next to impossible. The house is designed to have excellent crosswinds coming through which would be more than sufficient to cooling purposes in all but the hottest weather (which we had). All in all, it was a fabulous stay and we already miss the property!

Amazing spot all around

Our group of 6 were extremely impressed with the beauty of this home; little extra touches and beautiful wood throughout; sitting on the dining room deck overlooking the amazing view of the jungle/forest; coming home after a day exploring and taking a dip in the pool; Consuela cooked for us 1 night - it was a nice break and great food. Katia answered any inquiries quickly and was very helpful with directions and details. The gardener kept the grounds clean and always had a smile; the resident dogs were very friendly and so well behaved. All 6 of us were pleasantly surprised and would not hesitate to recommend to friends or go back again.

This is a very nice home in a beautiful location. We stayed here for a week while exploring the Cayo. The view from the deck in amazing.

Beautiful mountain retreat

Katia and Consuelo were great hosts. We traveled with our kids aged 4 and 6 and they absolutely loved everything. The house was clean and as described. The pool was fantastic. It was clean and went from about 2 feet deep to about 6 feet allowing the 4 year old to really improve his swimming. Lots of nearby activities kids can do including cave tubing. The house was ready for kids and had toys already there. Three cement floors were great because we didn't need to worry admit kids tracking in pool water. The outdoor dining room was great also. Afternoon and overnight breezes made sleeping with fans and the sounds of nature pleasant. There is a bedroom with AC if you really need it, but we didn't find it necessary. Highly recommend staying here.
