Our stay was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we knew this wasn’t just another vacation rental—it felt like a home thoughtfully designed for gathering, relaxing, and creating unforgettable memories. The property is even more beautiful in person, with stunning architecture, incredible outdoor spaces, and breathtaking views that made every morning and evening feel special. What truly set this experience apart was the hospitality. Every detail was handled with care, and the staff went above and beyond to make our family feel welcomed and comfortable. The meals were delicious, the communication was excellent, and any questions we had were answered quickly and kindly. We traveled with multiple generations, from young children to grandparents, and the home worked perfectly for everyone. There was plenty of space to spread out, yet it still felt warm and inviting for family dinners, conversations, and celebrations.

The villa exceeded our expectations. It is beautiful and scenic. Our family of 12 gathered every morning for breakfast served by Miriam and Theresa—such hard working and delightful women. We loved the plentiful fruit platter, yogurt, eggs, and tortillas with green sauce. Fransisco with his fluent English proved very helpful. During our stay we hosted a dinner for twenty at the villa and received help from all three with setting this up. L.R.M. facilitated the event by connecting us with a chef. Each bedroom was beautiful with a uniquely tiled bathroom. The bedroom at the door entrance did have traffic noise from the street. Ones away from the street were very quiet. The garden, large hot tub, and view were amazing. The house of Pedro Vargas has lots of history and interesting touches to the decor. A true find!
