Beautiful Fully-Staffed Spanish Colonial Puerto Vallarta Private Home/Villa
Our Most Recent Review:
"We cannot wait to come back to Villa Gaeta! Our time at Villa Gaeta was just magical. We had been to Puerto Vallarta before and stayed at an all-inclusive which was lovely but it couldn't even come close to the charm and care of our stay at Villa Gaeta. The villa itself is just enchanting with all of its traditional architectural flair and the location was very convenient to the Zona Romantica. (The hill you have to walk is a workout, to be sure, but we did it everyday.) The thing that really set Villa Gaeta apart was the service â top notch! Both the owners and Mary, the house manager, were superb in their communication and always quick to reply both before and during our stay. Doria made us delicious breakfasts â we're all craving her Chilaquiles now that we're home! And the rest of the team â Tony and Eduardo â were just great. Honestly, we felt like family. And does it get better than that? There is a large condominium building being constructed which, sadly, obstructs part of the view. But you still get some fantastic views, to be sure! And none of us ever felt bothered in the slightest by the construction. Oh, and around the corner from the house is Serrano's Grill. For convenience one night, we opted to try it for dinner. We were completely surprised by the beautiful atmosphere, wonderful food & service, and stunning views. We'd highly suggest the Rib Eye Burger and the Short Ribs! All in all, we cannot wait to come back to Villa Gaeta!â ------
Our lovely very private, secure and accommodating OPEN-AIR concept home is located on a Puerto Vallarta Alta Vista hillside overlooking the Bay of Banderas and the famous symbolic crown of Our Lady of Guadalupe Church. We are conveniently located in close proximity to the local beach-- Los Muertos, and the old section of town--Basilio Badillo. A ten minute walk from our villa will place you in the heart of town to shop, dine in local restaurants, mingle in diverse neighborhoods, or enjoy night life along Puerto Vallarta's new Malecon stretch. Our staff is committed to having you as the focus of their attention throughout your stay at Villa Gaeta Mexico.
Villa Gaeta Mexico, with its Spanish Colonial appeal, has a breathtaking ocean and city view from the vantage point of every room. Each of the three bedrooms has a king-size bed canopied with mosquito netting, access to balcony and a full private bath. Wake-up or retire for the night to fresh air, bright sun, blue sky or moonlight. Rooms throughout the villa are traditionally decorated and designed for the comfort, and pleasure of our guests. Our OPEN-AIR dining area, OPEN-AIR kitchen, OPEN-AIR living room, OPEN-AIR plunging pool and deck with lounge chairs are all unencumbered by walls or windows. Our villa is truly romantic, well situated for honeymoons, families, friends and private small business retreats. Yes, we keep our guest in mind with every management decision. We aim to please from the time house staff greet guests directly from the airport to the day of departure.
Treat yourself to a real vacation and let us take care of you: we offer a full-time housekeeper to make-up beds and tidy up rooms, attend to your laundry needs and upon request Doria will cook an authentic gourmet Mexican dinner. Should anything go wrong with our property during your visit, our on-duty maintenance man is available to take care of the unexpected.

Avis pour Beautiful Fully-Staffed Spanish Colonial Puerto Vallarta Private Home/Villa
Mary, Daria, Lalo and Tony were all amazing people to work with. The house was so comfortable for our 3 couples, the bedrooms were large each with their own bathrooms and the downstairs opened was great, we would definitely stay here again.
Mary, the owner, was so welcoming and kind! The home is beautiful, and the views were amazing. The meals prepared were delicious. Would love to stay here again!
we had such a wonderful time at Villa Gaeta ! fantastic location, so close to PV, but when we wanted to get away from the crowds and noise, we would just head back up to the very beautiful private space . the pool was amazing ( in the kitchen!) the bedrooms all have the most stunning views. the daily breakfast was wonderful, and every day the place was cleaned, beds made. Can't recommend enough! A fantastic way to enjoy the romantic zone in PV ! far more authentic experience than staying at a resort!
Perfect getaway for my 30th birthday with friends! Traditional Spanish style tiling and beautiful views Staff was super nice and helpful. Will be back!
We had cleaning service on one day only. When I asked the hostess why our rooms werenât cleaned or fresh towels delivered she reprimanded me. In writing. Upon arrival we were given two sets of keys totally unlabeled to multiple lock pads and told how important it was to have the house locked at all times. It felt very unsafe and unwelcoming. At minimum that many keys to that many locks should be labeled for safety. At minimum you should expect to have a room clean and fresh towels. The communication and overall stay was horrific.
Our stay at Villa Gaeta was absolutely amazing! The staff was exceptional, and we particularly enjoyed the delicious breakfast they prepared for us one morning.However, there are a few practical details for future guests to note. The "Purple Room" is located on the top floor and is accessible only by a spiral staircase. Additionally, due to the property's old plumbing system, guests are asked not to flush toilet paper; instead, they request that all used paper be placed in the provided trash can. Also the wifi only works on the ground level of the house
Overall. Our stay was great. Mary was very attentive even before check-in. She answered all of my questions leading up to our stay and allowed us to check in early as the home was ready. She and Lalo were awaiting our arrival with lots of information and greeted us with guacamole and margaritas. The view is great, the location cant be beat and yes a huge hill to walk up, my 65 year old in laws did it once. The first night we had chef Doria prepare our meal. She made so much i canceled the chef prepared breakfast i had previously asked for. What I didnt like is continental breakfast was served only once during our stay. Sunday they do not work. Ok, but Monday, Doria wouldnt show up until 9am. None of us sleep past 7 so we were pretty hungry by 9. Day of check-out, we left at 8, so we didnt get continental that day either. Not sure who eats breakfast at 9 but that was way too late for us.Only other issue is 3rd floor bedroom shutters do not close so you hear all noises and it doesnt get dark enough in the bedroom. Joy, the owner should consider black out curtains or new shutters. Other than those things, we had a great family time. Mary made special accommodations for my toddler so he could sleep in our room. Big thanks to Mary!! Lalo was there at check out to help with bags. Id stay there again with friends and make them sleep on the third floor hahah
Doria, Tony, and Mary were all wonderful and very receptive to our needs. Tony and Mary both speak English which made things easier. Doria was there every morning (except Sunday) with continental breakfast and it was wonderful. We asked Doria to cook two evening meals for us and the diablo shrimp was far superior to what my daughter had at the Blue Shrimp by the beach. Her enchiladas were also very good. Doria always left us the leftovers so we could eat that the following day at lunch. Our beds were a bit hard so Mary purchased bed toppers for each of the beds for us. The pool area was wonderful and having a private pool was the best part of our stay. We packed our own floaties so we could lay in the sun in the pool (then we left them as they don't pack well and only cost me 5.00 in the states on sale). We had issues one day downtown getting a taxi to take the four of us back to the villa - not sure what their problem was - but since our son speaks fluent Spanish, we just used Uber the majority of the time. We had some issues with the gate to lock at night to the upstairs bedrooms - recommend you ask Tony to explain that before he leaves the first day. We felt very safe at the property. There were fireworks every night down on the beaches or at the resorts - really nice - we could see them from the pool area. There is a building that blocks part of the view of the ocean but you can see around it and it really isn't a big deal. The property is so beautiful.
Great location although if one is physically challenged, this may not be for you. We were disappointed that there were only 4 lounge chairs instead of the 6 shown in the advertisement (since there were 6 of us). The heater in the pool was broken, which was also a disappointment, since it was a selling point for the condo. More towels in the bathrooms would be a plus. Fresh pastries were available on only the first day and just fruit and juice for continental breakfasts for the rest of the week. Otherwise a truly enjoyable stay in Old Town! The property manager (Mary) and staff (Doria, Tony, and Diego) were very accessible, friendly, and responsive.
We love staying in Villa Gaeta. Mary and Doria are kind, attentive, and helpful. The setting is so picturesque and airy. It feels like a very classic Mexican villa. The walk into Zona Romantica is short, though steep. But walking to and from the villa makes us feel like we can skip the gym because we sure get our exercise in. This was a return visit, and I will surely be making another in the future. Huge thanks to everyone at Villa Gaeta.
We enjoyed our stay at the villa. The location and spaciousness of the property are amazing, as were the staff, especially Mary who helped us when we became lost a few times in taxis or on foot. The big downside for us was that the pool heater had broken a few weeks prior to our arrival and the part was not available locally and was going to take weeks to fix. We are Canadian and used to swimming in cold lakes but the pool was really too cold for us to enjoy and was a disappointment. The only other negative is the plumbing and not being able to flush any toilet paper which was a little off-putting. Otherwise, great location with lots places to walk to and enjoy.
We felt very welcome and well looked after during our stay at Villa Gaeta. It was such a treat to have somebody else do the dishes, make the bed, provide breakfast, and take care of the little details like calling us a taxi that would show up on time to take us to the airport. Daria is a wonderful cook! Her French toast and Heuvos Rancheros were amazing. We would definitely stay here again
The house is a really cool open air layout with fantastic views. Everything was really well thought out. All the rooms were comfortable with good clean bedding and the living area and kitchen were spacious and had all your needs taken care of. Breakfast was prepared fresh every day and always tasted fantastic.
We were a group of four adults staying at Villa Gaeta.
We loved the layout of the home and the open space kitchen/pool area was awesome.
There was plenty of both sun and shade seating options by the pool.
Bedrooms were all lovely with king sized beds and views.
Staff and communication with house manager was excellent.
Close walk to shops and restaurants.
As good as it has always been. Not owners fault that Condo built across street. Staff very helpful and pleasant also as always.

Our stay at Villa Gaeta was amazing! From the onset, we received a warm welcome from answering questions pre-arrival to our actual stay. The property and amenities are top notch. Upon arrival, Mary and Tony greeted us and walked us through the home and explained in great detail how to navigate the home and guidance on the surrounding area. The view from the main area is stunning, even with the condo building which obstructed the view (NOT the owners fault). The staff was friendly and extremely attentive. Having fresh breakfast in the morning is a very refreshing touch and is something we definitely enjoyed. (Thank you Doria, Tony, and Lalo!) Honestly, could not ask for better assistance with maintaining the upkeep. I would highly recommend staying here if you are traveling with family or large group of friends. This place is truly a gem.
Villa Gaeta was just as beautiful as advertised in the listing. The location was perfect and allowed us to easily walk back and forth from ZR. As other reviewers have stated, the hill back is no joke and we sometimes took a cab back at night. Mary was very helpful and was nice enough to get us some provisions to have on hand prior to our arrival. I would definitely stay here again.
We had an absolutely wonderful time at Villa Gaeta! It was immaculately clean upon arrival and maintained throughout the week. Doriaâs breakfasts were amazing and a lovely start to each morning. The pool was great to return to every day and Mary was super helpful in arranging taxis for us. Wouldnât hesitate to recommend-better than expected!!
