4BR Villa in Valle de Bravo

Excellent, 4 months ago

We had a great time! A very nice house in a great location for walking and close to the Zócalo! I loved being able to communicate easily with Mari Luz from the moment I made the booking. 100% recommended! The cleaning girl is very nice and efficient!

Host Response

Fer and his group were great! That's why we want to share our homes! Pedro was so kind to everyone. Anyone would be delighted to welcome you!!!

Casa de María De La Luz is very nice, has an amazing view of the lake, and is very well located. María and Ana are very attentive to everything to help make your stay very enjoyable.

Host Response

I love it. They were happy! Everything was great; they told me all the details! I'm so glad! Every detail is seen to for your excellent rating in every way! We will continue on our path! Thank you. We are encouraged by guests like you who enjoy everything!

We stayed at Maria's house for a week. We love her beautiful house with amazing scenery, cleanness and convince. Maria has kept very smooth and timely response communication with us whenever we got questions. Her house keeper Ana is a great helper for not only keeping the house clean, also helping us for shopping groceries during our stay. In short, we had a great time in Valle De Bravo. Thank Maria again for everything you have done for us! Weiwei & Robert Bay Roger & Debbie Jackson

Host Response

Everybody will be so glad to have you Weiwei! You are a superb guest ! Thank you for your visit!!!!

A great place with a beautiful view! We definitely felt at home. Maria's attention super good, always attentive, accounts with the extra of a cleaning girl who is completely trustworthy, it is convenient to go down walking and back by taxi, although some taxi drivers do not want to go to the place, Maria has a contact se confidence that she provided us. The place is cozy and comfortable, we travel with a large family and we were all comfortable, I highly recommend it. Like plus Maria left some balls for my kids to play and they were having fun!

Host Response

Families of this caegoria are precisely the reason because it craves to share . The quality of people is notorious for how they talk and treat the staff, super fine, no matter who. Knowing how to appreciate is a gift that we can't all brag. More than we invite you to have them back at home. Thank you, thank you for your private comment, very much !

Maria was extremely helpful, and quick to respond to all our questions and requests. She was flexible with our check-out time, gave us local recommendations and had a cleaning person available whenever we needed extra help. Each bedroom has a bath, with enough good towels for all and some extra. The treat is the table on the deck which was set for our arrival (even had a vase with fresh flowers) and we used for every meal. Our granddaughter loved playing in the yard with 2 balls that Maria got for her. It felt like staying at a friend’s house! If you are driving in, know that the cobblestone roads to get to the house are steep. We chose to use the local taxis instead of driving, especially when coming back uphill after walking to town for a meal :) Quaint town, and lovely house if you enjoy experiencing Valle de Bravo like a local. We recommend it!

Absolutely stunning ! Great view and location! Amazing communication! Walkable but we preferred to take a cab for $50 pesos on the way back up! We cooked and ate breakfast on the patio every morning ! Our 3 year old managed the stairs but you may want to bring a baby gate for younger kids! We will be back! 100 recommend coming here !!!

Host Response

So lovely to have you and we do have small gate for next visit ! I am so happy you enjoyed your stay and next time I guarantee it will be even better !

Unparalleled views of the lake and sunsets. Very well located near the center of the village. Unbeatable place to grill. It is an old house that requires some updating in the finishes and comfort amenities (blinds and fan/AC that are not there).

Host Response

What a pleasure they were enjoying the beauties of views and sunsets ! Interestingly, the selection of blinds " see through " has been much appreciated as it allows us to stop the sun without taking away the view! It is true that the spring takeoff is hot but it's a few days as soon as the rain comes! And it was your turn! Equally we will buy 3 other fans additional to those in existence ! Thank you for your interest !

The listing has a wonderful view. The spectacle of the paragliders passing over the neighborhood was very exciting for the kids. The house needs a bit of TLC with the finishes: peeling paint on the façade, worn-out exterior terrace flooring, and poorly placed white lighting. The sheets are not very soft, and that is quite unpleasant. Some new white ones wouldn’t be too much. The water barely comes out of the showers; adding a water pressure pump could improve the bathing experience, as when traveling with infants, it's important to prevent them from getting cold while bathing. All in all, the stay was pleasant, but in terms of value for money, it falls a bit short. The support service, including cooking (breakfast) and housekeeping, was VERY GOOD.

Host Response

All suggestions are very good ! Thanks for your visit!

Lucy’s house is beautiful, quiet, and has unbeatable views. We had an amazing time. We spent most of our time on the terrace, as it’s a place where you can enjoy the entire lake and the best sunsets. Fanny helped us with everything for the house chores. We'll definitely be back!! Thank you, Lucy.

Host Response

I love reading your comment. We will be waiting for you with open arms! Thanks for your visit!

Maria De La Luz was an excellent host. Me and my friends had a great relaxing vacation week at her place. We grilled lots and enjoyed the cozy fireplace. The views of the whole lake are otherworldly and stunning, particularly the sublime sunsets. Maria sent us very clear and specific instructions on how to get to the place. We had a housecleaner come every day which enabled us to focus on cooking rather than cleaning. Victor was easy to contact and provided us with lots of firewood. I’d love to come back for another stay and enjoy the great sunsets again in a place that you just want to relax in. The town and city buzz is a few steep downhill blocks away if you end up craving a night in a fancy restaurant. The host is very communicative, which can be a little bit much for some. But it’s understandable why she texts so much as she really wants her guests to have the best experience possible and make sure everything is in prime condition. Thank you again for hosting us!

Host Response

Leonardo ! thank you so much for such a nice review. I tell you you are a very special person that’s what everybody thought when they met you. Have a very nice Christmas and I really hope we can make a plan for 2024 and have you at home once again thank you very much

Everything was excellent just as Maria de la Luz has to offer. We enjoyed every minute of the stay in the chalet. The person who received us was very friendly and Fany, the maid, was excellent help. The only truly difficult thing was arrival and I understand that it is not the host's fault but the municipal government for the state in which the access streets are located. The climbs are very inclined and in very bad condition, bumpy and broke half of one of them to "repair" but left very little space to transit being double circulation.

Host Response

We claimed the neighbors today from Municipal Public Services, about the inconvenience and they claimed that the unexpected rain that came with mud due to the Hurricane of Acapulco forced them to divert the normal path. It's fixed. I'm so sorry for the inconvenience Municipal services also make arrangements during times of very busy festivities without thinking about it !!!! You're absolutely right!

Must rent this stunning place. We are world travelers, mostly in the highest end of AirBnBs. Back from luxury AirBnBs in Europe and the Middle East we walked into this rental and were immediately astounded by fabulous. Drawn to the wrap-around balcony overlooking the breathtaking view, we lingered there as much as possible. The mountain chalet itself is clearly a loved dwelling of the owner Luz, who cares for every detail. Fabulous bed-linens, extremely well stocked kitchen, comfortable furniture in a place we did not want to leave. This place was impeccably clean, the entire experience a joy. We will surely be back and make this our home in Valle de Bravo. Highly recommended for discerning travelers.

Host Response

I was such a pleasure to have received such distinguished guests. I would love to have you again!!!

Good place, amazing view and good reception. Unfortunately, due to scorpions present in all rooms, we were unable to stay. Maria understood the situation still we had to call the attention of Airbnb to have a good refund since it was almost going to be paid 8,000 mxn for a night that was not worth them. The price per night of the place is too high for what is offered and the conditions in which we find the house

Host Response

You kept on changing the situation. You wanted to leave and I agreed and you made a statement compromising yourself saying: " I WILL PAY FOR THE NIGHT OF COURSE" but please cancel our reservation. This was a new situation for me, and being a good host I accepted. After that agreement you made a big different argument with the company not respecting the original agreement with me. This is not correct. Also you should have told me about the curtain that you or someone in your group broke as I have to fix it before I accept any other reservation. Three days before and three days after your stay i had satisfied customers Strange isn't it?

Wonderful view, it was the best part!! It was well worth it for the sunrises and sunsets at the house, very pleasant atmosphere and the host was always very attentive and helpful giving recommendations and asking what we needed. A little complicated the access by the cobble and steep streets but we did not take the car at all and we would move by super easy taxi. It was definitely a few days that we enjoyed a lot as a family, we loved it. We recommend it!

Let me say that there are some great things about this place- the view incredible, beautiful deck and nice day time living space. What needs to be updated on listing is that your water may get turned off “by kids on the street” is what the maid, Fanny told us. We were without water for 1 whole night when I got Montezuma’s revenge. It was horrific! No water to flush! This was fixed the next day when the maid came and told us and showed my husband where by the street that you could turn the water back on. Also, there was very very low water pressure on the 3rd floor where the nicest bedrooms and baths are. We could only use the toilet once all night and it took 8 hours to fill up. Additionally if anyone uses the water in any part of the house, there is a very loud cascading sound. If you sleep lightly, this will wake you up in the two upper bedrooms. We told the owner about this and they said “it was fixed, but still slow” were her words. We had to use a pan and carry water up to flush the toilet after one time. I just wish that we had been told that there was a possibility of no water. My suggestion would be to put water turn off under lock, so that no kids on the street can mess with something so vital for health and comfort.

A beautiful house, we had an incredible time, I would definitely come back again and again, Lucy is very nice, always attentive, the view is incredible, in the house there is EVERYTHING and that makes you feel extremely comfortable. i highly recommend this wonderful home

Host Response

Que placer que pudieron disfrutar. Me encantará tenerlos nuevamente. Familia tan respetuosa y divertida como la de ustedes es precisamente lo bonito de esta plataforma. It is a pleasure to hear you enjoyed your stay. I would love to have you again !. A family as respectful and fun as yours is precisely the beauty of this platform.

Beautiful! With the view, it already worth the house. The dining room inside is never used for the comfort of the outside. Maria and Brenda were attentive from booking to check-out. To get there, it's best to follow the instructions they send, at Waze he sends you through narrow streets and many stops. They have several amenities and the house is very clean. I recommend 100%.

Host Response

Pau, it's so nice to be in touch and to provide your home to close people (sorry my board does not have Spanish) like you and your family. Brenda is a person who has a lot of sensitivity and is moved to see young people who do EVERYTHING for their family to enjoy. We don't see that very often, actually. I put a lot of effort into making everything pleasant because it is my home that I love and as you will see, it is not "a house for rent". I'm glad you came, and it was a delight to have you. Blessings to all.

Phenomenal view! My second stay there and this time I came back for a whole week to enjoy the magnificent balcony and lake view. The house itself is quaint and charming, feels lived-in and loved not built-to-rent only, but what will keep me coming back is the unobstructed view. The garden below is also lovely and green, good spot to do a morning workout. I spent most of my days out on the big terrace just soaking in the lake, clouds and hills.

Charming space with an extraordinary view and warm hospitality!! We already booked a second stay here for longer, couldn't wait to get back!

It was an amazing stay; the house was very nice, with a spectacular view, and in a great location. From the very first contact, the host was friendly, attentive, and provided us with all the details, from the amenities to recommendations for going out for a walk. Brenda, the girl who welcomes us, is also always aware of what we need and is a very nice person. Excellent communication. My family was very happy, and I would definitely come back.

Our stay was great!! The terrace is amazing, and the service provided by María and Blanca made our vacation very comfortable and enjoyable. The house needs renovations in terms of its furniture and décor; the kitchen leaves a lot to be desired, but these are details that are largely offset by the comfort of the house, both in terms of its location and the beds, which are very comfortable, and the hot water in the showers.

Host Response

Thank you, Mónica! Great suggestions. By the way, the upholsterer did a terrible job! Needless to say! I'm glad you had a good time!

The house has a spectacular view of the lake, and you can prepare a nice dinner for 8 people since you have all the necessary utensils. The spaces and bedrooms are spacious and cozy enough. Although it is very close to the cathedral, it is a great place where you can relax without the hustle and bustle of downtown. María de la Luz and Brenda are super attentive and are always in touch with you. You're simply going to love it!!!

María de la Luz is an incredible host, always attentive to everything. The house has a spectacular view and a very nice terrace for breakfast and lunch.

The house is great. The photos really don't do it justice, because the view is wonderful (they should include a photo of all the rooms, the terrace and its spaciousness, and the garden). It makes you want to stay at home, grill some meat, have breakfast on the terrace, enjoy the fireplace, etc. Despite the great difficulty of going up and down the mountain, especially for older people or those with reduced mobility, the house is not far from downtown, which is why you can walk down and return by taxi. Either way, the view is really worth it, and more than makes up for the inconvenience of the climb. On the other hand, the house is really comfortable, it has four bedrooms each with a private bathroom, which is a real attraction for large groups. Likewise, the living spaces are really cozy, and it is fully equipped to enjoy a peaceful vacation in a group or family, although it has enough privacy. Last but not least, we must highlight the hospitality of Brenda, the woman who welcomed us and assisted us throughout the stay, who is very kind, always willing to help us, advise us and make our stay more pleasant. In short, I highly recommend the accommodation.

The area is very complicated; taxis charge a high fare for pick-up. The upstairs bedrooms are very hot; there is no good ventilation and no fans. Exceptional support from Brenda, the manager.

Host Response

I am very sorry that for not having agreed to give them a free night even two hours after they left on Sunday, their visit is over and the house is closed, that you have given me a negative review. Regarding the climate of the upstairs rooms, we have the advantage of having rooms downstairs that are super cool and that were not used.The largest of the king size bed very comfortable was not used Or we have to choose from. People have always appreciated and appreciated the good climate of the house as an attribute as Avandaro freeze. I know in advance that the attention and cleanliness of the house by Mrs. Brenda is impeccable. Also I cover that expense and I know that he cooked even for you despite being in charge of the cleaning and order only. As a special touch, it does. So that they are happy. The fixed fare for taxis is 30 pesos for the round trip. Mrs. Brenda tells me that you were even delighted with the rate of our contact Rodrigo, 70 pesos to go from the house to El Santuario at 6am. I'm surprised by the comment about taxis if we got such a good rate. I'm very sorry that the response was negative after Ms. Brenda's comment. They had a great time, were well taken care of, were happy, and enjoyed the incredible view from the house. They even used the blankets we have available when they got cold from spending so much time there enjoying the view and the sunsets.

The house has a privileged view of the lake, it is also quite spacious and each room has its own bathroom which is very convenient. The host is super cool and supports you in everything, which is really appreciated. Already in the stay you have the assistance of Brenda, person in charge of the management of the home and other requests such as tours, recommendations, etc. It's worth mentioning that Brenda is super helpful and makes you feel at home. The house has a super spacious garden perfect for your pet, which complements perfectly =) for the families we have. Delighted I would come back to this house !!!

Host Response

Yoshitake, it's a pleasure to deal with such fine people like you. I'm delighted that you were comfortable in the house. My primary goal is to try to provide EVERYTHING possible to ensure an excellent stay. I hope we can welcome you in the future. Thank you for your kind words, Maria de la Luz.
