Casa Popenoe

A 17th-century colonial mansion restored and furnished as it was then: the best way to see how people lived in Antigua.

Casa Popenoe is one of Antigua's great colonial houses, built in the 17th century. It fell into ruin after the earthquakes, and in the 20th century it was bought and restored by Wilson and Dorothy Popenoe, who furnished it with period pieces.

Visiting it is a glimpse into the domestic life of a well-to-do colonial family: courtyards with fountains, a kitchen with wood-fired stoves, bedrooms, a chapel and a garden of medicinal plants. The terrace offers a lovely view of the rooftops and the volcanoes.
