Jonathan and Diane are wonderful hosts. This was my first experience with volunteering on world packers and they set the bar high! Their home is a beautiful and cozy place to relax. They live about 20 minutes from the city of Antigua, but getting there is very simple by bus. Helping at their shop was rewarding as I got to learn about wine, Guatemalan culture and meet locals. I came here to take spanish classes as I'm a beginner in the language, they were very supportive with helping me practice. I highly recommend this experience to anyone, in fact I want to come back and do it again!

The guest house was such a great volunteer experience! Jonathon and Dianne are super chill and flexible which was so appreciated. Their house and wine tasting room have such a nice vibe, especially if you're into classic rock music!

The stay at Jonathan and Diane was great! They have a lovely small wine shop with a great selection of wines and always playing some good music. The work varies between washing glasses, thinking of new ideas for promotions and events and creating the same on Canvas. It helped me a lot to have a laptop with me. Their house is really nice and beautifully decorated. There is also a pool available in the neighborhood as well as a little forest to enjoy more nature. It is a bit outside of Antigua but it's really easy to get into Antigua. I really liked it and hope to be back to see them again! :)

Even though I stayed just for a short time, Diane and Jonathan were really friendly and welcoming! They have a great attitude and are funny persons. The house and it's surroundings are also very nice but quit far away from the center of Antigua (they take you with the car or bus). Enyjoed my stay there:)
