Casa La Rafaella is a 10,000 sq.ft. Mediterranean style villa located on the shores of Mexico's Pacific Ocean in the exclusive enclave of "La Punta", an incredible master planned gated community on Peninsula Santiago, Manzanillo. This exquisite villa reflects a precious balance between intelligent architectural design and the brilliance of nature's offerings.
The house offers breathtaking views from every angle, including all of the suites, the spacious open-air living and dining rooms, and the fully equipped gym. Whether you are looking to satisfy your fitness regimen by taking a jog or by walking amidst the lush vegetation and local blossoms, the multitude of outdoor amenities are easily accessible from most areas of the house.
Each bedroom is air-conditioned, complemented by a ceiling fan, and each is equipped with a beautiful en-suite bathroom. The Master and VIP suites have their own living room area, and a private terrace completes their luxurious design. Three other eye-catching bedrooms enjoy a shared furnished patio. The stylish furnishings and interior design of Casa La Raffaella blend harmoniously with the unique beauty of this "hidden jewel". Manzanillo, clearly, is the best kept secret in all of Mexico!
A multitude of culinary delights await your palate. For formal dining, the villa offers seating for 12 in a refined dining room atmosphere, or, make arrangements to dine "al-fresco" under the huge "palapa" (thatched roof) adorned with magnificent views of the Pacific Ocean. From here, as well, witness the playful grace of the dolphins and enjoy evening cocktails and breathtaking sunsets from the terrace. The stunning vista of glimmering lights in the Port of Manzanillo serve as a peaceful backdrop for your evening's pleasure. As an added feature, you can access the ocean from the villa's private staircase; here, you will discover the mature greenery, colourful flowers, banana and palm trees that seem to accompany you along your walk.
The large infinity pool that is surrounded by colourful bougainvilleas and lush vegetation is one of the highlights of the villa experience. Enjoy a cold drink or a Margarita while you sunbathe, read a book, or relax under the shadow of the many palm trees. Afternoon siestas are a must after savouring a delicious meal expertely prepared by your own chef de cuisine.
The cobblestone streets of La Punta bordered by perfectly manicured landscaping, lead you to the private beach, club house and tennis club that is reserved exclusively for guests and residents. A golf cart is provided for your added convenience to allow for easy transportation within the gated community. Other amenities include satellite TV, CD, DVD, high-speed internet and complimentary USA and CANADA long distance calls.
The appeal of these amenities is enhanced immeasurably by the dedication of our bilingual staff. Each staff member is adept and experienced in providing impeccable service within a luxury setting. Your meals will be hygienically prepared with the freshest of ingredients, the house cleaned daily and meticulously, and your clothes will be washed and ironed with the utmost care. If you are travelling with infants, small children, or teenagers, our staff are well versed in recognizing and responding to your family's needs. Our multilingual manager supervises all aspects of your vacation getaway including the planning of daily activities. Our staff values and respects your privacy, so their work is performed unobtrusively "behind the scenes".
Other optional in-house services are available to suit your own specific requirements, including masseuse, babysitting, and physical training, Spanish instruction, cooking classes, tour guide and nursing services.
Access to the renowned playground of Las Hadas Golf and Marina Resort is available to guests of Casa La Rafaella. The resort offers a challenging 18-hole golf course, beach-front cabanas, water sports, restaurants, shops and boutiques, piano bar, spa and marina services. For the golfer, Manzanillo, and the areas nearby, host some of the most beautiful golf courses in the world, such as Isla Navidad's 27-hole championship course designed by Robert Von-Hagge, and the spectacular El Tamarindo, a 2,000 acre ecological preserve.

The house and staff are wonderful. Angel and his family made our stay very enjoyable. Paulina fell short in fufilling our expectations. She was to make reservations for our family at New Years and we arrived at the restaurant to find that we did not have a reservation. Angel took care of it, though, and our family had a memorable New Year's dinner. I will say that the food we had at one of the best restaurants in Manzanillo could not compare to the meals prepared by Angel!! Our family commented several times during our week long stay that we would love to visit the house again but when we left the house for excursions, we were disappointed. If you are going to Manzanillo to relax, you will enjoy the trip. If you like to do lots of exploring and sight seeing, you may want to choose another destination or bring double the money you would expect to spend. When people find out where you are staying, the cost of everything goes up! We splurged on this house and thought that we were going to do the same kinds of excursions that we have done in the many places we have visited. The diving was limited due to the high season and we couldn't arrange a time. The owner of Scuba Shack was very rude. We did go on a boat for 4 hours that we paid a ridiculous amount of money for and saw whales and dolphins.
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, girls getaway, families with young children.

Hi Nelly A short note to tell you that we had a wonderful time at La Rafaella. Charo is an amazing chef, Patricia and Adrian were a delight. Every day was sunny and the time went by too quickly. All was as you informed us and even better. The little children loved all the bananas and they were very eager to go to the kitchen and ask fore one! Charo made them feel very welcome and Adrian was so good with little Jack. Thank you from the Lenmark's, Tanghe's and Reller's

We have had the pleasure of renting the villa two times, once with our kids and grandkids and the other time with our golf friends. Both times were absolutely incredible. The moment we arrived we knew we were in Paradise. The villa itself is breathtaking, the views of Manzanillo Bay from the pool and yelapa can not be described, we felt as if were in a postcard. All the amenities of the villa are first class, however with that being said, the topper for us was Charo and her family, she is the main caretaker and an excellent cook, she not only cooks for you but makes you feel so welcome and loved. The service from everyone is outstanding. My dealings with Nelly have all been good and she delivers everything that is promised, I was a little nervous booking an expensive vacation on line, but my experience was problem free, I can't say enough abouh both of our vacations, I know we will go back again.

Nelly: We had a wonderful time at Casa La Rafaella and I wanted to thank you for all your help and arrangements. The property was just spectacular and everything was as promised --or better! The villa was perfect and very comfortable for our family, including the two grandbabies. Best of all, Charo is everything you said she would be - A fabulous cook. Charo made everything run so smoothly and went out of her way to accommodate our every wish. Patricia and Adrian were also excellent and such hard workers, we felt so well taken care of (and spoiled) for the whole week. The weather was perfect. Here today in Minnesota, it is snowing like crazy, I tried to bring the sunshine and warmth back with me, but it didn't work! All in all, it was our best trip yet. Again, Thank you
