Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 1987
I came to Mexico in 1976, intending to be here for two years, and I am still here. I have managed the first relocation company in Mexico for all this time, helping executives move their families to this wonderful country. We have used that same experience to provide a unique hospitality in Tepoztlan.
Why the Owner Chose Tepoztlan
What could be more relaxing than waking up as the sun comes over these magical Tepoztlan mountains? From the first visit out here, as guests of the original adventuresome owner, Clemente M. Jacques, we knew it was where we wanted to visit often. When one day in 1987 he came to our home in Mexico City and said he wanted to sell and he wanted to sell to us, well, it took about 10 minutes of discussion to say "yes!"
The Unique Benefits of this Villa
We love traveling and we do it frequently but we always return to Tepoztlan and become awe-struck once again with the natural beauty and tranquility of our location. The ease of arrival from the Mexico City or Puebla international airports also makes it tempting to come often. There are many properties for rent but very few with the active administration that we offer; it does make a difference. This property was completed in 2003 but it was built to look as if it's been here forever, built from the same volcanic rock as the mountain it's built upon.

Beautiful and very comfortable getaway in Mexico's magical "Tepoz"

Just it is on the owner's website: that's how it looks, that how it is. The staff is very capable, kind, and attentive. And if you're into cooking, you'll have everything you need to cook, barbeque, etc., though they can do all that for you and very well. The houses are both very well-appointed. Great for dogs, too! This is a place for people who want a private and comfortable to rest, relax, swim, maybe go ride a horse, enjoy spectacular scenery, and maybe (or maybe not) venture into town. I have stayed several times over the past few years, often with large groups plus dog, and can only give glowing praise all around. It's not cheap, but if this is what you want, you more than get what you pay for. It's the best place to stay in Tepoz.

We just returned from a 6-night birthday getaway at Villa San Clementito. WOW!!! The photos do not do this beautiful casa justice. This place is incredibly lovely, perfectly sited to capture amazing views from every angle and window of the house. The outside patios and terraces are charming and comfortable. Even in the summer rain, we loved it - very cozy inside for reading day or night or just hanging out. The staff was friendly and well-trained - great service and wonderful breakfasts and comidas prepared by Teresa the chef (and Felipe the grill maestro). We just loved our stay here in this very special property in the magical, mystical valley of Tepoztlan. A huge plus for us: we were able to bring along our two dogs, and the whole property was very dog friendly, fenced and gated, with a large field for running and even special dog steps in the pool. Nacho and Tope loved their vacation, too! We were without a car, but it was easy to taxi into the town. However, we were totally content simply to stay put and enjoy the house and grounds.

"I feel very blessed to teach in Mexico once a year, have been doing this for over a decade and a half, and one of the highlights to my trip is staying at this hacienda in Tepoztlan. About 7 years ago, I had the pleasure to connect with Pattie Hogan, owner, of Villa San Clemencito, and Hacienda Jack's. Both places where designed beautifully, in the old Mexican tradition, and it’s kept beautifully by the care takers that live in the compound, that also take care of the client's, needs, cooking if desired, hauling bags up and down the stairs, getting a masseuse to come by for a message, as well as getting taxi's to visit the center of town, only a few minutes drive. The hacienda San Clemcito is a wonderful place to stay; you have privacy, three ample bedrooms, with private bath's, as well as having a half bath near the living room. Well equipped kitchen and wet bar. It has a Jacuzzi, a lap pool, pool table, phone, cable TV that we never used, too much to do, beautiful view of the mountains, and for those needing a wi-fi system, there's one though out the hacienda. The people tending the hacienda are wonderful; they are discrete, and very helpful. I would recommend this home to anyone wanting peace, privacy, near town, with a Mexican home “ambiente,” and all the amenities you would want. Enjoy..." Luis

Our family celebrated the wedding of my son here at Pattie's lovely hacienda. The whole group of 16 family and friends were absolutely delighted with the delicious meals, the beauty of the mountains and the warm hospitality offered by Pattie, and the whole staff who many times went beyond the call of duty to care for us. We loved this place so much that we know we will return. The gorgeous landscaping, the views of the gentle mountains, the swimming pool and tennis courts all were enjoyed each day. We loved going into the town, meeting the people and enjoying the market . Many took the hike to the top of the mountain and thoroughly enjoyed that adventure. Thank you for sharing this incredible world of Tepoztlan and the hacienda with us!

My family and I had a wonderful time at Villa San Clementito. Everything that we need in order to unwind is there -- a chef's kitchen, the jacuzzi, beautiful views, fresh air, child-friendly hiking trails, plenty of books. The staff was could not be more helpful - they even got a baby tub for my five-month old! The experienced grandmother on staff will look after your infant so that tired parents can enjoy some quite time in town. Even our dog had a great time! We look forward to going back soon.

MARCH, 2010 My wife and I enjoyed returning to Hacienda San Clementito for a ten day stay in March, 2010. It has become more beautiful with time. The views are fabulous, the accommodations are delightful, the tranquility is constant. There are dozens of rooms, a nice swimming pool, and there is even a free-standing and spacious chapel, where, as an Episcopal priest, I have done services in the past.Security is top notch. First of all, there is not much crime in the area. Secondly, it is well out from town. Next, there are three locked gates. Additionally, the live-in help are watchful, their dogs act as guard dogs, and the Hacienda is well back from the road.Patty the owner is wonderful. She is caring, charming, and informative. With long experience in the real estate world of Mexico, she runs a great operation. The people she has working for her will bend over backward to help any of the guests. They speak a bit of English, but they understand more. Even though my Spanish is not excellent, I could easily communicate with them in English only.My wife and I would jaunt into town daily and shop in the town square market for the fresh, beautiful fruits and vegetables and meats for our meals. How relaxing and what great fun!While there I had to visit a dentist and a physician. Patty, of course, gave me two recommendations. One saw me the day I called and the other saw me the next day. Medical and dental care in Mexico is always gentle, unrushed, thorough, compassionate, and not expensive. I have been to ambassadors’ residences in Japan, Thailand, Austria, and Mexico. I can assure you that Patty’s hacienda in Tepotzlan is as elegant as any one of them. It is also an island of tranquility. The Rev. Douglas Carter Tampa, Florida

Our family stayed over the Christmas New Year's break and had a wonderful time! The property is more beautiful than the pictures. The staff was warm and welcoming and very accommodating - plus they were wonderful cooks, anxious to make our visit memorable. The location was central to all of our day trips, as well as the few days we stayed and wandered around Tepoztlan - a wonderful destination by itself. I highly recommend the villa to all - we would go back tomorrow if we could!

A jaw-dropper of a casa. I loved the open concept of the colorful living/dining room areas, leading to the wonderful grounds. The bedrooms were comfortable and airy, the staff couldn't have been sweeter, and if I could have moved in forever I would have.

The Hacienda and Villa are incredible homes in what I refer to as a 'bit of paradise.' The homes are beautifully decorated and located in a serene, protected area, yet close to town and convenient to several large cities. Rest assured, no matter the reason for your travels, you will be welcomed and confortable at the compound and there is something for everyone in Tepoztlan: tranquility, history, photography, art, hiking, shopping, etc. The hostess, Ms. Hogan, is very gracious and knowledgeable about the area and happy to help with any special interests or needs. She maintains a very attentive and friendly staff. I have stayed at the Villa San Clementito several times with family and friends and I highly recommend the Villa or Hacienda as a wonderful vacation destination.
