6BR Villa in Puerto Vallarta

Jamal

Excellent, 4 weeks ago

Had such an incredible stay at Villa Lucia! From preparing for the trip, to check-in, to check-out, the place was everything we needed it to be and all the house staff and host were so incredible and accommodating. Chef Caesar’s meals were so good and top notch all the time and the mixologist Carlos did not miss a beat in ensuring we had drinks in our hands. The host, Jessica was incredibly friendly and super responsive whenever we needed anything or had questions about the villa. You quite literally could not beat the pool view, we did not want to leave! There were little things that weren’t ideal, but I don’t think super avoidable such as lots of Geckos within the villa and bugs due to the outdoor nature of the place, but that was manageable. Also would be helpful to set general expectations on grocery spend for the stay with daily breakfast, lunch, and necessary pre-stock (alcohol, water, etc.) just so can plan for group budgeting. An amazing trip! Would definitely be back

Villa Lucia was INCREDIBLE! We went to PV to celebrate our engagement with a group of our friends and we had a wonderful time. The entire staff was amazing. Cesar made delicious food and Carlos always ensured we had a drink in hand (all of the cocktails were spectacular.) Pati kept the house clean and ensured we had fresh towels when we needed them. Jessica and Chema were always ready to help if we needed anything else. Overall, our entire group was so impressed by this place and we can’t recommend it enough. I hope to be back soon!

I cannot recommend this place enough. It was one of the best stress free trips for my group of 10 from airport transportation until check-out, everything was top notch. The beds and rooms were comfy and clean, the staff were five star and the food, the food was better than places we went out to dine. The views were incredible and an easy walk or taxi to the beach or town. We found ourselves not wanting to leave the property because of how amazing the house was and how amazing the staff were. We cannot wait to return!

I can't imagine a better place to stay in PV with a large group! I went for a 40th birthday treat. The property is unbelievably gorgeous with what seems like the best view in town! The amenities were fantastic and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Several of my co-guests have been to PV a dozen times and said this was the best experience they have ever had in PV. The worst part was leaving and returning to reality!

Thank you so much James - we hope to welcome you back in future celebrations!!

A perfect spot! We had 11 friends staying for a 40th birthday week and this was the perfect home base. Easy to walk down (if you're good with stairs) into town for drinks, restaurants, shopping, and the beach. A less easy walk back up, but the taxi/uber is cheap and readily available. Drinks and dinner were amazing! The staff was so kind, fun, and not instrusive at all. They were extremely helpful with anything we needed. Our conceirge, Jessica, was super responsive and easy to work with. Highly recommend this villa for a big group, so many rooms and extra space.

Our group of nine had a fun, relaxing stay at Villa Lucia and would love to return. The villa itself is lovely - airy & spacious with plenty of large common areas and privacy in each of the six comfortable bedrooms. There are a number of special little touches such as heated floors in the bathrooms, speakers around the pool, and hot, fresh towels every morning. The house sits near the top of a hill, has fantastic views & is a 10-15 minute walk to the edge of zona romantica. Some of us enjoyed the short, strenuous walk up the hill, while others easily found ubers to chauffeur them back to the villa. We found mornings to be particularly peaceful, listening to the birds while drinking coffee in the hot tub or lounging around the pool. But the true highlight was the staff and the food. We all miss Cesar's breakfasts & guac, and Carlos' palomas. The only downsides were out of their control - the sporadic street noise and absolute madness getting through customs at PVR. Highly recommend.

Villa Lucia itself is a magnificent property, but it is the staff that makes it extraordinary. Chef Cesar took our planned menu and added plus ups to make every meal better than any restaurant we visited during our stay. Carlos mixed amazing margaritas and other concoctions and filled in as needed for other jobs. Rooms were magically cleaned, stains removed and garments pressed seemingly by magic - it was Patti, who has great energy. José managed the few challenges we had with skill and speed. All in all an absolutely fantastic week in PV. Highly recommend.

The place was amazing and just as described. The team at the house was super attentive, Jess handled any request we sent her way. Cesar is an incredible chef, Carlos kept the drinks flowing, Pati and Jose made sure the place was spotless and everything worked great. The house was at the top of the big hill, so it was a tough walk up but you could walk down and into town or the beach easily and Ubers/taxis are cheap and always close by. The views were incredible and I highly recommend staying here. There were 7 of us occupying 4 bedrooms and we had some available and could easily accommodate more people. Amazing place and 10/10 team.

Host Response

Thank you very much!! We hope to welcome you back again next year!

Wonderful house for our multigenerational family gathering with 10 people (8 adults, 2 young kids ages 3 & 5). Everyone had their own space and there were great spaces to hang together. The location was very convenient - an easy walk down to all the restaurants and activity in zona romantica. A bit more of a trek back up the hill and you do have to be alert walking with young kids given no sidewalks. Amazing to have the pool and hot tub on site - we were in the pool almost every afternoon. Note - there’s a surprising amount of large trucks driving up the road at all hours. And lots of people partying late at night which can be challenging with young kids but is likely just a reality of the area.

Host Response

Hi Chian! I’m so happy to hear that your stay with us was a wonderful one! We do suggest guests take a taxi back to the villa as Amapas is a hilly neighborhood and Villa Lucia is up on top of a hill (hence the incredible view!) . Your stay with us was also during peak vacation dates (Christmas week), hence the noise as this is a huge time of celebration in this community. We do hope to welcome you back again soon!

If you’re looking for luxury, relaxation & stunning views just book it! I booked this villa for 11 of my closest friends and family to celebrate my 30th birthday. This is definitely a trip we will talk about for years to come. Views are better than the photos, the space is just right for a large group, the staff are friendly and attentive, and the location was private while being just close enough to everything you need. I want to especially shout out our concierge, Jess, who was always on top of things and anticipating any needs. She even checked in on us after excursions she did not book for us which shows she was invested in making sure we were enjoying the entire trip and that meant so much! The breakfast that Cesar prepared us was delicious and beautifully plated, Carlos made delicious margaritas and kept them flowing. The houseman Jose & housekeeping Patty were very sweet and kept the whole house in order. I hope to come back & see everyone again!

Host Response

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled you had such a special celebration at Villa Lucia and will happily share your compliments with our team. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!

Villa Lucia in Puerto Vallarta is an exceptional villa. On the mountains of Puerto Vallarta with a view that looks like something you would find in a Magazine. Staff is very friendly and responsive, food is great and the cleaners does a great job with the house. Make sure that you look through their fee structure (Their is both coordination fees, grocery fees as well as sales tax on top of amounts). We were very happy with the experience in general but if we did it again would probably done a bit more on ourselves rather than using the concierge. All in all was a very good experience that we would recommend to anyone.

Host Response

Hi Christian, thank you so much for your kind review — we really appreciate it. Just to briefly clarify, taxes in Mexico work a bit differently than in the U.S. VAT is applied at each level, but we keep things simple for our guests by handling everything on our end. Guests are only charged the standard 16% VAT on the final checkout for services they choose to use, which is clearly disclosed in advance on the pre-arrival form. All services are completely optional, and all taxes and fees are fully transparent prior to arrival. We hope this helps, and thank you again for staying with us at Villa Lucia — it was a pleasure hosting you!

Our stay at Villa Lucia was amazing! We were celebrating with a group of 11, and this was perfect for that. Just a 10-minute Uber ride to downtown and minutes from the beach, it offers the best of both worlds—serene seclusion and vibrant city energy. The villa itself is stunning. Very Spacious, thoughtfully designed, and impeccably maintained, not to mention the incredible ocean views. Every moment spent here felt like we were living in a postcard. What truly made our stay unforgettable, however, was the exceptional staff!! Cesar and Carlos went above and beyond, always very warm, professional, jovial and always ready to help. The housekeeper kept everything pristine, and was so sweet. Jess the concierge was incredibly attentive throughout the whole process, ensuring the villa was prepared exactly as requested prior to arrival and remaining very responsive throughout our stay! If you’re looking for an unforgettable escape in PV, Villa Lucia is the place! We can’t wait to return!!!

Host Response

Thank you for your lovely review, Victoria! We hope to welcome you back to Villa Lucia again soon!

Wonderful Villa. Chef, mixologist, housecleaning, and concierge! We had a fantastic time. There are only two downsides. 1. There is really no gym, so if you need cardio equipment or weights, you need to find local gym. 2. The Villa is up in the hills and when we stayed there it was quite noisy so we did not sleep well. I don’t know how often it is noisy but that was our experience. We loved that it was in the hills and are agile so could easily walk down to town. If you can’t do that, Uber is super cheap so the location is spectacular.

Host Response

Thanks for your review, Jennifer!

I took my husband here for a 50th Birthday surprise along with a group of friends and it was AMAZING. Jessica, the house manager was incredible from start to finish, Chef Caesar was amazing and the food was delicious, Marco always made sure our guests had a drink, smoothie, water, you name it. The views were incredible - we saw whales everyday! The walk into the Romantic Zone was super quick (and great exercise). No one wanted to leave!! I totally recommend this property - it lived up to all the reviews and the photos. Thank you everyone for making our trip so special!!

Host Response

Sarah, thanks for such a fabulous review!! We hope to welcome you back to Villa Lucia again soon!

We had a wonderful bachelorette trip at the Villa Lucia! 11 girls for 5 days and the space was perfect. Adriana and Cesar were AMAZING! Such great food and drinks and the best service. The villa itself was beautiful. Everything was just as it was listed. Thank you to Jessica for coordinating with me and helping me to make reservations. We will definitely be back!

Host Response

Thank you, Sofia! It was a pleasure to host you and your friends. We hope to welcome you all back soon!

The views were absolutely amazing!!! The sunsets in PVR from this location are worth the trip alone. The villa is a great size to accommodate a large party. The chef and mixologist were the BEST! Our Concierge Jess was very responsive and made the overall trip experience nice. Any issues we raised were addressed very timely! I would definitely recommend this Villa to anyone with a large party.

Host Response

Thank you for your lovely review, Kimleon!

I HAVE to start with the chef and mixologist! They over exceeded our expectations and always went above and beyond their services. The most kindest and helpful. They truly made the experience at Villa Lucia a whole lot better, we wish we could stay longer. Because of them we will definitely be back. The concierge was extremely helpful, professional and resourceful. She made me feel as if we knew each other and was so laid back non robotic and pleasant to communicate with. Villa Lucia has a perfect team. The view is amazing, and location is perfect.

Host Response

Thank you very much for your fantastic review, Yesica!

This villa is incredible and a great spot to host friends for a private getaway. Close enough to the town to walk in, the villa has amazing views and is very secluded. Rooms are exactly as pictured, two pools and just the most attentive and helpful staff to make the stay perfect. It was a great week for us and we’d love to come back sometime!

Host Response

Thank you very much, Michael! It was a pleasure to host you and we hope to welcome you back again soon!

We recently stayed at this incredible property with 12 family members and friends, and everyone was absolutely blown away! The house itself was stunning, but what truly elevated our experience was the exceptional staff. They were attentive to every need, ensuring everyone felt comfortable and pampered throughout our stay. One of the highlights was the constant flow of delicious cocktails! On top of that, the meals were phenomenal. They catered to every dietary need and taste preference flawlessly, leaving no one disappointed. This place is a dream come true for a large group vacation. We can't recommend it highly enough, and we're already planning our return visit!

Host Response

Thank YOU for being such an exceptionally kind and respectful guest. We are excited to welcome you back again soon to Villa Lucia!

Probably one of the best Airbnb experiences I’ve had ever. The house itself was stunning, but what truly made this place stellar was the staff. Everyone was super helpful, welcoming, and accommodating, particularly our fantastic mixologist Adriana, talented chef Cesar, and extraordinary concierge Jessica. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Host Response

Thank you very much Jerome! I will be sure to pass on your incredible review to the rest of the staff.

This villa was in the perfect location and high enough to have one of the best views I have ever seen! The staff are always there when you need them and the mixologist always had a drink ready if you wanted! The chef was amazing and we never had a bad meal. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay for my 30th birthday! Everything exceeded my expectations!

Thank you so much for your fabulous review, Breck! It was our pleasure to host you at Villa Lucia!

This Villa is a stunning home to stay in with friends in Puerta Vallarta. The pictures do not do this view justice - it is world-class. The staff, in particular, are all kind and thoughtful, and really made the experience special.

Staying at Villa Lucia for my birthday was an amazing experience! Me and my 11 guests all felt right at home in this absolutely gorgeous property. Sare was our concierge and did a fantastic job helping to set up on property yoga, massages, and pedicures. Cesar’s meals were great and Adriana helped make sure our drinks were always full. If you’re looking for a fantastic time in Puerto Vallarta, you will certainly have it here!

Thank you very much Bailey! It was a pleasure to host you for your birthday!

This is definitely a luxury experience. I highly recommend it to any group looking for a full-service Villa, close to the core of Zona Romantica. The views are spectacular from the pools, the rooms, and the many balconies and terraces. The concierge communicated with us regularly before our visit. The staff of the Villa Lucia pampered us and made us feel right at home. Cesar's meals were multi-coursed and delicious. Adriana also made wonderful drinks for us, using fresh fruit in all kinds of ways. When there were questions or concerns about the rooms/bathrooms/pool, Chema and Arlette were always quick and responsive. As for location, the house is situated up a steep road in Amapas. We typically would walk down into town or the beach, then call Ubers/taxis back up to the house. This being a luxury experience with a concierge and house staff, you should be prepared for additional expenses beyond the booking fee, including gratuities.

Host Response

Thank you very much for your incredible review, John!

Villa Lucia was seriously the best experience and stay in Puerto Vallarta. The house itself is outstanding and so beautiful, each room has its own terrace and bathroom, with a beautiful view of the city and ocean that will take your breath away. The staff is very kind, funny, personable, and absolutely amazing at their job. They will do anything to make your stay what you want. Chef Caesar is amazing at his craft and makes everything super unique and delicious. For our group the star of the show was Adrianna, the bartender. She was so kind and funny and was a killer mixologist, always refilling the drinks and making sure we were comfortable and satisfied. This place is definitely worth the money because you will not find another stay like this in PV. We absolutely loved it, thank you guys at Villa Lucia!!

Host Response

Thank you very much, Gregory! So happy to hear you had the best vacation experience with us at Villa Lucia - it was a pleasure to host you!

We absolutely loved our time at Villa Lucia!! The most incredible and attentive staff really made our visit perfect. Adriana’s cocktails were delish! Cesar’s meals were beautifully presented and so tasty! Arlette and Chema were also wonderful… couldn’t have asked for better service! We did walk to town - steep hill down and a climb back up but felt good to burn some calories. Thoroughly enjoyed our time relaxing in the pool with cold cocktails in hand…. Our time went by too quickly!

Host Response

Thanks Stacey! Me and the entire villa staff appreciate your lovely review and we look forward to welcoming you back again soon.

Villa Lucia was even better than we could have imagined. It was comfortable and spacious inside and out with beautiful views. Mixologist Adriana, Chef Cesar, and Sare the concierge took great care of us. Food and drinks were fantastic. The house was spotlessly clean and we really appreciated the daily housekeeping. Location was great, just a quick Uber ride to the main part of the city and the sights. (Though many days we just laid by the gorgeous pool). It was a truly memorable experience!

Chef Cesar, Mixologist Adriana, Chema the helper, Sare the concierge, the housekeeper and the entire staff was amazing. Truly amazing villa, unbelievable views, and beautiful house all around. The service was amazing, we got delicious breakfast and lunch from Chef! Adriana kept our hands full with delicious drinks! This was perfect for our big group. We opted to do the groceries ourselves, doing first a big run at Costco and La Comer. It took some time but we travel often as a group so we were able to handle it. Then we ordered groceries delivery on the La Comer app which made it easy enough. In retrospect, we could have done a big La Comer delivery order instead and didn’t need to go to the store. Concierge also set up decorations for a surprise birthday celebration (there is a coordination fee) but it made the surprise possible upon arrival! Thanks to the whole Villa Lucia staff for an unforgettable time!

Host Response

Thank you for your great review, Peggy!

We were a group of 11 women staying at Villa Lucia for a 50th birthday celebration. The property is beautiful and peaceful, with jungle on one side, and beautiful ocean and town views on the other. The Villa was large enough for everyone to feel like they were on their own private vacation as well as being together as a large group. The infinity pool was the show stealer. Adriana, was wonderful. She will make you delicious drinks and keep them coming. We had a fantastic experience and highly recommend staying here.

Host Response

Hi Dianne! Thank you very much for your lovely review! We are so happy you had such a lovely vacation at Villa Lucia.

My husband and I were celebrating our 10 year wedding anniversary with a vow renewal in beautiful Puerto Vallarta and our experience at Villa Lucia was nothing short of magical. From the moment we were in touch with Chanel throughout the entire process - everyone could not have been more friendly, helpful or accommodating. The house itself is absolutely exceptional - with so many beautiful areas to enjoy the spectacular view. The staff are also incredibly kind and gracious - Sare was an absolute delight to deal with throughout regarding property arrangements. We were so grateful to Cesar for his delicious meals and Arlette and Chema for keeping the house beautiful and functional. And we must give a special shoutout to Adriana who was not just our mixologist - but went above and beyond to make each and every guest of the house feel special and taken care of. We loved it and will absolutely be back!

Host Response

Thank you so much Ryan! We appreciate hosting great guests like you and we love to hear your incredible feedback - I will certainly share it with the team. We look forward to hosting you at Villa Lucia again!

This was truly a wonderful experience for my friends and I. We were celebrating my 40th and the staff were so nice and friendly. From Sare quick responsiveness, to Cesar’s great meals and Adriana’s great drinks. The rooms were also cleaned daily. The views are truly breathtaking. The pools and jacuzzi were very relaxing. I highly recommend to stay here if you are with a big group. You will truly enjoy your stay and have the support of a great staff. I know my friends and I will consider it again!

Host Response

Thank you very much, Daniel. We would love to host you and your friends again soon!

Wow! What a beautiful location to vacation! Had my bachelorette there with 9 friends and loved that we all had beds, beautiful rooms, and bathrooms. The pool is the star of the show, as well as Cesar and Adriana who took such good care of our food and drink needs. Cesar was so friendly and even gave us his handmade granola to go as we left for our flights. Adriana kept our drinks filled and was so loveable! Everyone was extremely friendly, helpful, and accommodating. My only issue was there could have been more transparency on costs of groceries beforehand. We were a bit surprised by the end bill, but the food and drink were all so good, it still felt worth it!

Host Response

Hi Rachel, thank you very much for your fantastic review! I'm so happy you enjoyed your stay with us, your meals, the pool, the service and everything else! I will pass your review on to the villa staff. For your next visit we would be more than happy to provide you with an approximate budget of grocery costs so you can better prepare for paying your final bill. We look forward to hosting you again soon!

Thank you for a wonderful stay at Villa Lucia. This place is MASSIVE! I can’t say enough about Adriana (Mixologist) and Papi Caesar (Chef). These two went above and beyond to provide us with wonderful service, and amazing drinks and meals. They really are the star of the property! A couple of things to note about the property. None of these would in any way deter us from returning but are good to know. 1.) A/C is provided in the common spaces and bedrooms but it also maintains an open air feel with wood shutters as opposed to windows. The very top floor bedrooms in the heat of July were a touch warm at night. This would not be a factor in the peak season. 2.) The villa sits at the top of a hill with AMAZING views of the bay. Because of this Uber is your best way down to the beach area. These are easy to get and CHEAP. $4 round trip. 3.) Both pools are deep (6ft) so pool noodles are a great investment. All together we loved our stay and would definitely return!

Host Response

Hi Matthew, thank you very much. I will make sure to pass on your lovely review to the staff!

11 of us rented this Villa for a 40th birthday celebration. Sare, the concierge was extremely helpful gathering all the information for our group ahead of time and was even willing to purchase some decorations to make things feel festive. Adriana, the mixologist, met our group with drinks and the houseman showed us to our rooms. We did breakfast and lunch at the Villa each day and the food Cesar prepared was amazing. We also did two dinners, complete with birthday cake and they made us feel so special. The pool and views are nothing short of amazing. The only downside for the view is that it’s on a very high hill and you can’t really walk into town. However, Uber’s are cheap and you can just type in Villa Lucia and they come right up. There are a lot of stairs in this Villa so if you have anyone with mobility issues, this wouldn’t be the place. We visited during the hottest part of the year so sometimes a couple of rooms rooms got a little warm.

Host Response

Hi Joni, thank you very much! We're so happy to hear you had such a great time with us and we look forward to welcoming you back again soon. All the rooms have a/c so it's important to keep all the doors shut while the a/c is on as the heat gets in quick!

The Villa was absolutely beautiful and just as described in the listing. It was relaxing and peaceful. Cesar and Irak were both amazing and attended to everything we needed. Cesar outdid himself each day with delicious meals. The housekeeper kept the house spotless. I would definitely stay here again. The only thing I would be aware of is the management company’s policy for taxing. It is stated on the form that “ A COORDINATION FEE OF 15% WILL BE APPLIED ON ALL GOODS & SERVICES RENDERED AT COST AND WILL BE INCLUDED IN YOUR FINAL STATEMENT OF ACCOUNT AT CHECK-OUT”. We only had groceries added, so please be aware that on top of the 20% fee charged for groceries is an additional 15% tax. When we questioned this and after going back and forth they did relent and give us a late checkout at no extra cost. Please be prepared to pay almost double what you paid for the listing after taxes and tips.

Host Response

Hi Lindy! Thank you very much for your 5 star review! We’re so happy that you had such a lovely stay with us at Villa Lucia and enjoyed your activities and service that you received from us all. We must admit that we are somewhat mystified by your comments as we always make it a point to be as clear and transparent as possible to all our guests as to what the options are available to them in terms of shopping and other services we offer and the fees associated for those services. These fees are printed in bold on the arrival form which you did actually acknowledge with your signature prior to your arrival. Most of our guests love these services as it provides them with a carefree vacation experience - but it is very clear that they are not mandatory and completely optional for our guests to avail themselves of them - or not. Just to reiterate, every service is optional, not obligational. Villa Lucia is registered with the Mexican Tax Authority (For example, IRS in the US) and we pay our taxes and are also required to charge taxes on all goods and services we provide. Unfortunately that is the law. In any case, we hope that this somewhat clarifies your understanding of this situation and we thank you for your comments!

We had an AMAZING week long stay! Hard to believe but this place is even more beautiful than the pictures. From the start Chanel, Talia and team helped us set up a week full of chef meals, massages, and other various requests. The chef, Cesar, is truly incredible! Food was delicious and beautifully prepared. The mixologist, Job, was also incredible. Job would whip up fresh fruit inspired cocktails and kept things fresh and fun all week long. The housekeeping was always on point and we loved having fresh beach towels every morning to lay by the pool. My aunt asked about poolside umbrellas and a few days later they were set up and provided much needed shade in the 90 degree weather, we appreciated that so much. We did have a few power/Wi-Fi outages during our stay, but Talia(coordinator/host) and Chema(maintenance) were very responsive and quick to let us know what was going on. Overall we had a truly lovely and memorable trip. We hope to be back soon!

Host Response

Hi Courtney! Thank you very much for your fabulous review and for being such a great, communicative and kind guest. We appreciate it and we hope to have you back again soon.

Absolutely incredible time! From the moment we walked in to the moment we left, everything was amazing. The entire staff are great and make the trip feel so luxurious. The pools and views are spectacular, the only downside is the noise from the street early in the morning. Thank you for everything, it was an unforgettable trip.

Host Response

Hi Landen! Thank you very much for taking the time to leave such a great review. It was truly a pleasure to host you and we hope to welcome you back to Villa Lucia!

Our group had a great stay at Villa Lucia. From our first dinner to our last breakfast, we were treated like family by the staff. Concierge Talia reached out early to gather information about our group’s dietary needs/restrictions and to offer in-home services and activity recommendations in and around Puerto Vallarta. Adriana was attentive, friendly, and mixed delicious drinks. Cesar cooked amazing food and always had a smile on his face. The rest of the staff were also very professional and helpful. The property was located in a quiet neighborhood and nestled on a hill, which offered beautiful views of the city and ocean. The outdoor and indoor spaces offered a variety of locations to spend our time, though the main pool area was where most of the fun occurred. The rooms were large and clean, and the beds were comfortable. The city is a short Uber ride away, so we generally spent our nights exploring the town. We definitely felt like we were living in luxury and would recommend!

Host Response

Thank you for your great review Benjamin and for being such a lovely guest - we all appreciate it very much! Hope to have you back to Villa Lucia again soon.

Our group had an AMAZING time at Villa Lucia. Talia was extremely helpful and responsive in coordinating our stay, and we can’t say enough good things about Adrianna, Cesar, and the rest of the house staff. Property was very clean, amazing drinks and food made by the staff, and everyone was extremely friendly. We felt very safe. We would love to return to Villa Lucia in the future and would recommend staying to our friends and family. 10/10 experience!!!

This place is amazing. The rooms are big, comfortable and clean. The house is as great as it looks in the photos. It’s a tricky walk into town due to the hill but it’s very close to all the PV has to offer. We were a family of 11 including children and everyone was comfortable and happy in this home. What sets Villa Lucia apart is the staff, Talia, Chema, Arletta, Adriana and Cesar are beyond amazing. They are flexible and welcoming. They anticipate what you need before you know you need it. They instantly make you feel like you’re home. They are always around but not intrusive and are just the most wonderful people. Book a stay at Villa Lucia, you won’t regret it! Can’t wait to go back.

We absolutely loved our stay at Villa Lucia. The house itself is beautiful. We were a group of 8 and there was more than enough room and privacy for everyone. The views were amazing! You can see the sunset from both pool decks and the top bedroom balcony. You'll definitely need to take ubers to and from the house to get to town, but getting a car was fast and extremely cheap. Organizing everything beforehand was very easy and the house staff was amazing at accommodating our needs. They greeted us day one with fresh margaritas for a house tour. Each meal we had prepared for breakfast and lunch was fantastic and they really went above and beyond! Our group had an amazing time and I would definitely rent this house again!

Host Response

Thank you for your great review of Villa Lucia! We appreciate you sharing your experience with future guests, and I will share your incredible review with the house staff as well. We hope you visit us again soon!

We had an amazing time. I celebrated my 50th birthday while visiting Puerto Vallarta, and the house was amazing. Each room was great and all guests enjoyed everything. Chef Caesar went above and beyond everyday. His food was fantastic and we wished we could bring him home. Adrianna made drinks for us daily and she was very attentive. Everyone worked hard to make our stay enjoyable and they all did just that. This place is on a hill and we walked down the hill 1 day, but didn't dare walking back up. Ubers were cheap ($4 USD) so it wasn't an issue for us. Only disappointing note was the hot tub wasn't working the entire week we stayed; also they don't take credit cards for your last payment (for food and any services they planned for you like car service to/from airport). I usually don't travel with a lot of cash, but we were able to do a wire transfer. I do plan on returning the place is that amazing.

Beautiful house, great response time, chef and mixologist were amazing! Definitely recommend

We had a wonderful family vacation at Villa Lucia. 10 of us stayed comfortably for 8 days, each having their own room with ensuite. Bedrooms were large with all having wonderful views. The pool area was perfect in size and the views also amazing. Large deck space with comfortable loungers as well as a large, shaded area to get a break from the sun. What made the stay above and beyond was having Cesar (chef) and Adriana (mixologist). They took care of our every need, although it was optional, we decided to have Cesar cook for us every night. (Breakfast and lunch are included). The meals we had equaled any top restaurant menu. Food was fantastic. Adriana, is much more than a mixologist, she does make incredible drinks, but also took care of so many other things. We felt pampered the whole time we were there. Arlette and Cheema, looked after all the housekeeping and general maintenance of the house to ensure everything was perfect. An absolutely wonderful holiday.

Hi Karen! Thank you very much for your lovely review. I'm so happy you had such a great time at Villa Lucia and I will be sure to share your incredible comments with the staff who will be very happy to read this. Thank you!

Place was absolutely stunning. Rooms were all big and had gorgeous views. Staff was very attentive and responsive without being any kind of overwhelming. Pools were great, beds were very comfortable and AC situation was perfect. Highly recommend the place for a stay and also utilize the staff services (chef, bartender, etc). We had the mixologist for a day (ádrianna) and she was a blast! Made the best margaritas we’d had all week. 12 of us stayed here and there was ample room for us all. Location is spot on, a little hilly but the town is just that way in general, plus Ubers are extremely cheap.

An amazing property, super spacious, we had more than enough space for 10 people. The views are like no others, the video does not give it justice. The home has four levels, with surround sound music playing through the house. Everything you need is provided, the chef and mixologist are a must, they took care of our group like no other. Thank you @Cesar and @Adriana you are the best! The only thing we didn't get to experience is the hot tub, it was out of service during our stay. However, anything else we needed our concierge helped to provide, thanks @Sare. Spa treatments on the balcony, and just so much more.. Great place for a large family or group trip.

This Villa is everything the other reviews say, simply incredible! The tour alone felt unreal. We were warmly welcomed by the whole staff - including Adriana holding a tray of freshly made margaritas as we stepped in the front door!! Do yourself a favor and order Cesar’s French toast as many times as you can! I’m still having dreams about it! He was so flexible and accommodating as we changed our menu a bit throughout the stay and everything was delicious! We were all so sad to have to leave and go home to cook for ourselves! Looking forward to trying more of his creations our next visit! Adriana took care of us the whole stay, helped answer a million questions, whipped up amazing cocktails from passion fruit margs to yummy cucumber vodka drinks!! She and the rest of the team also surprised me with a cake, decorations, and song for my bday! Oh! And Adriana even helped us inflate pool floats we brought - she’s so amazing! Sare was incredible helping adjust for all our onsite needs including a last minute flight change because of a threatening hurricane. Her responsiveness was next level while we were onsite - she even offered to order pizza for us when we had trouble figuring it out - but finally did thanks to an app. Just the sweetest humans and BEST experience. We cannot wait to come back again!!

Hi Sarah! Thank you very much for your incredible review. We look forward to having you back again soon and we are so happy you enjoyed the level of service that our entire staff works together to provide at Villa Lucia for our guests!

I have stayed in a good amount of Airbnbs throughout my travels and it's safe to say that Chanel's Villa is by far the most impressive and memorable experience. From the second my group arrived in PV we were picked up by a driver arranged by the villa and the five star treatment carried on throughout the duration of our stay. The view of the villa can only be topped by the outstanding staff. Lead my Adriana, the most kind and talented mixologist I've ever meet. The drinks were and great and her service was even better. From pina coladas to spicy margaritas Adriana could make it all! My group and I had several meals at the villa to enjoy the gorgeous views and Chef Cesar did not disappoint. The housekeeper did a fabulous job of keeping each room throughout the villa clean throughout our entire stay. You book the airbnb for the views and proximity to the city (which are even better than you can imagine), but it's truly the staff that "put the cherry on top" and deliver the most memorable experience!

Hi Ashton! Thank you very, very much for this spectacular review. The staff and I are all very thankful that you took the time to write about your experience with us at Villa Lucia and we hope to have you back again soon!

We had an amazing stay at this Airbnb. The listing does not do it justice! Amazing staff, beautiful house, and very centrally located for restaurants, bars, and clubs. Sare helped us manage our itinerary, which included lots of travel to and from the Airbnb. All of the staff helped me throw an epic bachelor party. I would highly recommend this property to anyone coming to Puerto Vallarta.

Thank you very much for this fantastic review, Wyatt!

I cannot say enough about our stay at Villa Lucia! We chose this fantastic villa to celebrate my 50th birthday with family and friends. The location, layout, and views are spectacular, but the staff is AMAZING! They made our stay super memorable. The chef and mixologist are five-stars, as well as housekeeping and grounds. We've already looked to book for next year!! If you are questioning or unsure if you should book this villa, STOP...BOOK IT!! You won't be sorry!!

Hi Chellsee, As per your request, I will post your review as a response to you as you accidentally posted your actual public review in the "Private Feedback" , and your "Private Feedback" as the public review: "This Villa was a dream! It is better in person which seems impossible. The staff is truly charming, warm, full of love and so caring. The housekeeping staff and the house manager kept the house impeccable, the pool was cleaned daily and we even would wake up to find our clothes that were left out in nice neatly folded piles based on what we wore the day before. So thoughtful and intentional about everything! Cesar was an amazing chef! Who knew there could be so many courses for breakfast! Cesar thought our every meal with so much attention and each course topped the course before. He was so friendly and helpful. Adriana the mixologist was a GEM! She made a variety of delicious drinks all day and never left a hand empty. Sare the concierge was helpful from the day I booked for months after making sure everything was prepared and perfect for our group. She was so organized and communicative about everything. Every detail was transparent from the start. I’m so grateful I was able to stay here."

If you've never been to Puerto Vallarta and you're looking for an exceptional experience for you and a larger group of friends/family then THIS is the spot for you. I've done my fair share of traveling in all kinds of accommodations and I truly have to say this is by far the best vacation rental experience I've ever experienced. Villa Lucia is a beautiful property. From the stunning infinity pool, to the open-air spacious rooms, to the gorgeous views, my guests and I were in awe from the moment we arrived. The property is updated, clean, and I think the best part of the entire stay is the staff. Daniel is the on-property chef that cooks exceptional meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. He takes requests and is open to cooking anything that you'd like with such beautiful presentation. Adriana, is the on-site "mixologist" and my friends and I considered her essentially the "House Mom". She made the most delicious drinks and provided such exceptional service. Arlette, the house maid cleaned our rooms and house and changed linens daily. And lastly Chema, was the doorman that was friendly throughout the stay. I can't wait to return to Villa Lucia and enjoy the accommodations and reunite with the staff. BOOK this property if you are considering it! You won't be disappointed!

The pictures truly do not do this place enough justice! It is stunning! The home is very private and secluded from the outside, but from the inside feels so open and offers absolutely incredible views of the city & bay down below. The host staff were very friendly and accommodating, willing to attend to all of our requests to ensure we had the best time possible. The entire experience is essentially like staying at your own private resort. This was by far my favorite Airbnb location I’ve ever stayed at before. Huge thanks to all of the staff for giving us such an amazing experience!

Host Response

Hi John, thank you very much for this outstanding 5-star review. I'm very happy to hear you had a lovely vacation experience with us at Villa Lucia!

Villa Lucia is truly paradise.  Breathtaking views, luxurious amenities, and a fantastic staff! The house has so much space. The bedrooms are beautifully appointed each with their own bathroom.  There is a gorgeous new wooden dining room table that was not in the photos. It comfortably seats 12 guests. Great for long relaxing dinners. Danny the chef, is awesome. His cooking is delicious and better than most restaurants. He was so accommodating and flexible.  Adriana is the mixologist and so much more. She anticipated our every need. Her cocktails were delicious and she kept them coming! She was kind, accepting, professional, and had a great sense of humor.  Arlett was in charge of house keeping and it's a lot of house! The rooms were cleaned each day which most hotels aren't even doing. She was happy to assist with laundry needs any special requests.  Martin was the house man. While much of his work is not guest facing, he was friendly and always around to assist the team as needed. Any special requests we had he was happy to help. One morning he even offered to make me a mimosa! Sare the concierge, was super helpful and responsive from time of booking until we returned home from the trip. She is knowledgeable and had great recommendations. The day we arrived she was at the house to greet us. She shared with us that they love what they do. It truly showed throughout our stay.  We are already planning our next stay at Villa Lucia!

We had 12 of us staying here and it was amazing. Everyone had an awesome time. The house is beautiful, spacious, comfortable, and just a great place to hang out. Incredible views! Pool is heated and very comfortable. The staff was AMAZING. I was a little worried it would be weird having them there hanging around our group but it wasn’t like that at all. They were very accommodating, the food and drinks were amazing. The house was super clean. I’ve stayed at 50+ Airbnbs now and overall the experience was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. Also the most I’ve ever spent but worth every penny.

This is a very beautiful home perched up on the mountain with incredible views from every room! The staff are great catering to anything you want. Our mixologist and chef gave us such a nice experience with all the tasty food and drinks. My group of friends will def be back again!

Host Response

Hi Tony! Thank you very much for your great review. The staff will be very happy to see your lovely comments about your stay with us. We hope to see you back at Villa Lucia soon!

This was absolutely an amazing experience!! The Villa has great decor throughout and breath taking views from every room, but what really stood out and made it a great experience was the staff. They truly went out of their way to make our stay very pleasant. Daniel, the chef is very talented and prepared delicious food every time. The drinks prepared by Adriana the mixologist, were just incredible filled with rich flavors and fresh fruit, she did an amazing job. Arlette, the housekeeper did an outstanding job at maintaining the place clean and spotless every day and the laundry was done to perfection. Martin, the maintenance guy was available daily and supported the rest of the staff to ensure we had a pleasant stay and he made sure the beautiful infinity pool was clean each and every day. You can tell that the entire staff likes to take great pride in job and in what they do, they are very meticulous and detailed. Thank you for making it an unforgettable experience for us, we definitely look forward to coming back and stay again at Villa Lucia, Puerto Vallarta.

Villa Lucia is a paradise! The house has stunning views from every room. The heated infinity pool with views of the ocean and the city is about as close to heaven as I’ve ever been. The staff are all very warm and welcoming. The food and drinks were excellent. Walking down to the beach and into town is an easy 15-minute walk down hill. Walking back up is a hike, but doable if you have the energy for it, otherwise it’s a quick and easy cab ride. We would absolutely do it again. Stay here for a slice of heaven!

Thanks for the great review, Beau! The staff and I are very happy to hear that you had an unforgettable vacation at Villa Lucia. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!
