Breathtaking home on beautiful beach in Troncones, Mexico

Villa Festiva exceeded all our expectations and is the most beautiful vacation home we have ever stayed in without a doubt. The architecture and decor were amazing. The house and grounds were immaculate. No detail in comfort overlooked. Instant hot water, very comfortable bed. Full outdoor kitchen with BBQ. The infinity pool was perfect for floating around with a drink in hand! The sandy beach and warm ocean water a stone's throw from the home. Outdoor shower. Numerous beach restuarants within walking distance. One restuarant, Roberto's, was a 2 minute walk down the beach. Fabulous food. Friendly local people and a safe neighborhood. Given over-inflated reports on crime in Mexico, we asked an American who lives in Troncones about the area. He told us that Toncones is extremely safe. Said that a few years earlier, two young men tried to burglarize a shop and that the local townspeople ran them out of the area. Crime is not tolerated. We enjoyed our evenings wandering the pristine beach, watching the sunset, sipping a drink and talking with wonderful people at the local restaurants. We even got the opportunity to see the baby sea turtles released to the sea. Tronocones is like the old Mexico I used to know 20 years ago and the best place to experience the magic is at Villa Festiva.

We had the time of our lives! The shopping, body surfing; we loved every minute of our beach time. The house is more beautiful than we could have imagined. The sound of the waves & the balmy breezes - can't forget the sunsets and all the delicious food! This has been one of our very, very best vacations. We just can't thank you enough for everything.

We cannot believe the beauty and grace of such a small village. Villa Festiva is just beautiful, and the staff are just wonderful people! We never thought we could have a little heaven on earth. This is over the top, a dream come true. May God Bless and protect this place. We will be back again.

If there is a paradise on earth, it is Villa Festiva! Restful and energetic beach walks, perfect sunsets, boogie boarding, and the classy infinity pool...thanks to Glenn and Jeanette for making our 40th anniversary so memorable. We will be back!

Fantastic villa!I stayed with my wife on the main floor bedroom. The house is simply amazing! The open floor of the living areas with a nice breeze from the sea and the pool are just perfect for relaxing. Anywhere you are you can see the ocean (from your bed, the kitchen, plenty of sitting areas, and even the shower! There is a little something around every conrer.The beach is right at your doorsteps. We saw some people walking on the beach but always had a perfect empty beach to swim (my wife enjoyed the beach while I the ocean). We saw a couple of dolphins while having breakfast outside our room.I only regret I didn’t spend more time there

This was one of the best vacation spots ever. The villa is new and beautifully furnished, with all the amenities you need. Special touches like sculptures by local artisans make this an exotic and wonderful home. You should see the showers! The staff is helpful and courteous, the beach is right there, and the views are incredible. I highly recommend Villa Festiva to anyone. We will be returning again.

This is one of the nicest places we have ever stayed in. The home is just gorgeous, right on the beach, with local artisan's treasures displayed prominently throughout. You should see the showers! The staff is courteous and helpful. The pool and palapa bar is too much fun, and the view of the ocean is fantastic. We plan on returning next year.
