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 – 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 – we're all craving her Chilaquiles now that we're home! And the rest of the team – Tony and Eduardo – 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!” ------
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.

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!
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.
Perfect getaway for my 30th birthday with friends! Traditional Spanish style tiling and beautiful views Staff was super nice and helpful. Will be back!

Don't miss this place it is so awesome. Very quiet, very very clean, hard to leave for home.
Mary, Tony, and Doria treated us like family. They are at house 9 am to 1 pm to provide breakfast, housekeeping, and yardwork. If you stay be sure to have Doria make you her breakfast specials she is an amazing cook.
We will be booking 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!
Loved the property and location.Only disappointment was that the pool heater was broken resulting in the water being so cold the pool was unusable.

Thank you for this review, Scott.
Oh how we wanted the pool part to be available overnight but this would not be the case for an older home. In the 25 years we have owned our quaint colonial villa we have never had to inconvenience our guests. Our sincere regrets. The pool part needed was delivered late and our current guests are enjoying a heated pool. We regret the inconvenience and will look forward to hosting you in the not too distant future. Please be sure to contact Mary directly as reminder and we will gladly offer you a discount for your next stay at Villa Gaeta Mexico Puerto Vallarta.

Lovely traditional home with spectacular views and a short but very hilly walk (or cab ride!) to town. This is the second time we have stayed here and highly recommend!
Really great property, love the indoor/outdoor area downstairs with the pool. Staff is helpful and the breakfast was delicious. Walkable location, although Ubers are nice to take back up the hills.
The property was an absolute dream. Mary and the staff were so accommodating and wonderful to us. The rooms were beautiful and the open air style was a perfect vacation setting.
Thank you for everything!

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

Your review is appreciated. Thank you.
Addressing third floor bedroom: throughout your stay, the third floor bedroom is securely accessible from the outside with a lock and key, and from the inside via spiral steps from floor two.
Addressing the toilets: we will change our signs to clarify that old plumbing toilets should be flushed several times between wads of tissue paper and to use the nearby bin for excess (make-up removal, kleenex, etc.,)
Addressing Wi-Fi: wifi is not restricted to the lower level only. When several people in the house are using wifi , the connection may be slow or sporadic.
We look forward to hosting you again. Thank you,

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 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
This villa was very nice and the personnel were extremely nice and helpful. There are a lot of steps so it wouldn’t be good for anyone with knee or hip problems. Overall very nice place

We had an absolutely wonderful time at Villa Gaeta! It was immaculately clean upon arrival and maintained throughout the week. Doria’s 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. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend-better than expected!!
Very friendly staff, FABULOUS breakfasts and a view that can't be beat.
Property is an older colonial home with a very comfortable pool and veranda area. Kitchen could use a bit of updating , although it is functional and adequately equipped. Three bedrooms are spacious, each with a balcony ioverlooking the pool and the bay

About the host
Hosted by Villa Gaeta Mexico Property Owners
Property owners are working professional people who also enjoy get-a-ways and vacations at private home, Villa Gaeta Mexico. We too seek opportunities to share our property with family, friends and colleagues. The photo seen here was taken in the evening at the villa as we hosted a small party for business colleagues.
Why they chose this property
Our Spanish Colonial, fully staffed private home offers the perfect environment to relax from the time you first rise in the morning and take the first breath of fresh air onward until you retire for the night. We simply fell in love with this property when one of us noticed that we had not left the villa the entire day to shop or hang out at the beach. Lounging around on the deck laid back with a good book in such a perfect environment, with such perfect view from every room was vacationing in the truest sense and fantastic!! This is Villa Gaeta Mexico...a full, relaxing vacation and time well spent before returning to a busy schedule. We look forward to our own get-a-ways to the villa, a minimum of two or three times a year. This is the Villa Gaeta Mexico we so desire to share with our guests.
What makes this property unique
We are fully staffed and upon request offer great homemade Mexican food and other cuisines cooked by our on call chef. We are in walking distance to town and beaches, yet we offer a feeling of seclusion and being far away.
