Informazioni su questa struttura

CITTÀ VECCHIA DI GRINGO GULCH

Villa Leonarda è una struttura sul fiume situata nel cuore di Puerto Vallarta, nel quartiere artistico noto come Gringo Gulch, a pochi isolati dalla zona romantica e da Playa Los Muertos. Latifoglie locali, mattoni di adobe e piastrelle artigianali compongono la struttura organica della casa in cui mobili d'epoca si alternano a opere d'arte firmate da famosi artisti contemporanei messicani.
La villa è composta da due edifici uno con 3 camere da letto e l'altro con 2 camere da letto con due camere da letto, ognuna con bagno privato, separato dalla piscina riscaldata, e un ampio e spazioso patio centrale circondato da una lussureggiante vegetazione tropicale, esaltata dal suono di il fiume scorre veloce. È ideale per prendere il sole e feste in piscina durante il giorno, cene a lume di candela e cocktail party di notte.
Una dimora storica fin dai primi giorni di Puerto Vallarta, progettata in stile coloniale tradizionale, con tutte le camere che si aprono su un enorme cortile centrale con piscina riscaldata, fontane e giardini che si affacciano sul fiume, sulle montagne e sulla giungla. Dall'ampia terrazza panoramica potrete ammirare viste sull'oceano e i tramonti.
Pareti in stucco di tre piedi di spessore, archi, soffitti alti, porte a cavalletto, persiane in legno stile hacienda, ferro battuto antico e piastrelle fatte a mano d'epoca sono i dettagli di design distintivo di questo capolavoro secolare. La villa è stata completamente rinnovata negli ultimi anni; le camere sono dotate di aria condizionata, cucina e bagni sono stati aggiornati, il tutto pur mantenendo l'integrità dell'architettura originale.
Le romantiche camere da letto sono appese a una zanzariera fluente; l'arredamento è eclettico e chic. Oggetti d'antiquariato e pezzi d'epoca unici sono mescolati con arredi importati e dipinti originali di artisti famosi, tutti incastonati contro grandi palme e luci drammatiche. L'atmosfera notturna è spesso descritta come "magica".
Il proprietario originale, Xavier de la Torre, era un famoso designer di abiti intimo amico di Elizabeth Taylor e Richard Burton. Villa Leonarda è stata un ritrovo di celebrità negli anni '60 e il misticismo continua; è ancora un luogo di ritrovo per artisti, scrittori, stelle del cinema e intellettuali. Angelica Huston e il fratello, Danny Huston, hanno partecipato a cocktail VIP ospitati presso la villa per il Puerto Vallarta Film Festival, seguendo le orme del loro famoso padre regista, che giocava a poker con gli amici intorno alla piscina. Anche l'artista di fama internazionale Alejandro Colunga e il fotografo Gabriel Figueroa, Jr. sono ospiti frequenti della villa.


La proprietà comprende:
-5 camere da letto ciascuna dotata di A / C e bagno privato
- ampio cortile centrale con piscina riscaldata, fontane e giardini lussureggianti

- L'arrampicata sulle colline di Puerto Vallarta non è necessaria in questa villa; Leonarda si trova su una strada piana vicino al Rio Cuale nel centro della città vecchia.

Property is perfect! Amazing atmosphere for hanging out and great location to walk to just about anywhere. Delia and Josephina prepared amazing food! We really appreciated them! Every room has AC and its own bathroom! The details of this place are so special—tile work, art, sculpture! The villa is a magical paradise in PV and I would 1000% recommend.

Family vacation

This property was absolutely beautiful! It’s authenticity made it a wonderful experience! The ladies made us the most amazing meals and helped with anything we needed. I would definitely rent this home again! If I could say anything I would say that I wish the pool was heated. The pool is in an area that wash shaded most of the day, so it did not get very warm. The beauty of this rental far outweighed that!

Hi Hollie! The pool is heated its just turned on per request, I am so sorry I did not reach out to you to tell you so. Its still very sunny in Puerto Vallarta and most guests request the heater on in december Jan and February. Hopefully if you stay again will have it heated upon your arrival. We hope to host you again in the future.

Navidad 2022

The property was perfect for a large group. Everyone had their own space but there was also plenty of together time around the pool and common areas. The location was perfect. We never needed to take a taxi- we walked everywhere. The best part was Delia and Chapina. The food and service were amazing. We all shed many tears when we said goodbye. Se convirtieron en parte de nuestra familia.

Had the Time of Our Lives

We rented Villa Leonarda for my husbands 40th birthday and had the absolute best time! There were 11 of us, and we had plenty of space to be alone if we needed, but mostly we found ourselves hanging by the pool the whole time. Delia's breakfasts were fantastic, and we hired a chef to come in and make us dinner for two of the nights. A clutch choice. The location was great, easy to walk to a lot of bars and restaurants. We lived like kings for a long weekend, the hardest part (apart from a couple really stiff mattresses) was leaving, but it did inspire us to make this a yearly trip. Thank you for the amazing stay Villa Leonarda!!

Remarkable - Must see to believe

This is one of those places that makes you NOT want to write a review so that it will hopefully not be booked when you want to return. It is gorgeous. All bedrooms have private bathrooms; three of them contain king size beds. There is a small cabana off the HEATED pool with a bathroom. The housekeeper makes delicious juice and breakfast. We watched fireworks all over the city from the rooftop deck. My wife was literally close to tears when we were checking out because she didn't want to leave. The communication was top notch and very polite and kind. 6 out of 5 stars!

We love this property but it really needs more maintenance. back Bedroom shower drain doesn't work. Remotes for ac didn't work in main house. No hot water in kithen and other plumbing problems. Tile in the far left BR needs to be fixed, someone could fall. great location. Loved all the music we heard.

Non mi è piaciuto: Comunicazione e accuratezza dell’annuncio
We were asked to pay cash to our staff once we arrived because we had 12 occupants and they needed to open up the 6th room, when you look up the VRBO details is 12 occupants 6 rooms. We had 10 adults to babies. We paid as it was close to Christmas and had all our family to host. Beautiful place, beautiful stay loved our staff and their hospitality. Paid them daily except a day for a wonderful breakfast. The property manager at the time was easy to get ahold of and responded quickly. We had a one room lower level infested with bed bugs they replaced it day of. So, going to our day of departure our place was broken into while we were sleeping. They went through my daughters room stole 2 phones and went through all her belongings, then went to my brother-in-laws room went stole wallet and credit cards, came to our room stole wallet credits cards and cash. I woke up to the man over me trying to steal my phone chased him out and he jumped over the side by the river.I tried immediately calling my hostess calls wouldn’t go through no answer, called Vrbo no help our maid showed she contacted someone police showed got a report. We were departing that day and it happened at 7am before we left. I tried to get ahold of the property manager for 3 hours. We used a different phone to contact her and she answered. My phone was blocked and I tried what’s app also. We were all safe no one was hurt or injured, my concern at the time was the folks that would be staying there next.

Disappointed

One reviewer said this villa “needs maintenance,“ but that is a huge understatement. We consider ourselves to be adaptable travelers, but the number and severity of the problems left us no choice but to share this information, especially since we paid as much for this villa as others in the area that were lovely and had no issues. The list below outlines just some of our concerns. 1. There was never hot water in the kitchen and no dishwasher. This alone is a serious sanitation issue and I’m assuming a violation of local codes. 2. Only one faucet worked in some bathrooms, and shower pressures was very low or only half the water was coming through the shower heads … perhaps they just need to be cleaned. 3. The kitchen is so poorly lit and so ill equipped, making it largely non-functioning. 4. We understand old tile, but--a large hole in one bedroom floor is a major tripping/falling hazard .. one guest was afraid to get up in the night without turning the lights on. 5. Until 2 days before we left there was not a stand for the huge water jugs, making them unusable. We have paid a similar price for villas that were much better equipped and cared for, and we are very disappointed in the poor value we got for our money. We generally make do and rarely complain but we felt so let down, we don’t want anyone else to go here without a warning.

Beautiful Villa & Lovely Onsite Staff, But Beware of Issues

Beautiful villa, perfect for small wedding. Maid & cook were friendly & FANTASTIC. Good wifi, jugs of filtered water were appreciated, fans & AC in bedrooms were fine. Jeff, the property manager in charge of the VRBO listing, was terrible. Unfriendly & I would often have to send multiple emails to get a response to a simple question. After booking, I asked to add on an extra night. He said yes & to pay the extra night upon arrival. Upon arrival the staff was not aware we were checking in. They called Jeff but couldn’t reach him so called another property manager who also had no idea we were checking in & said ‘Jeff never tells us anything.’ She was great & let us check in & we could hang by the pool while they finished prepping the villa. Jeff contacted me the next day & didn’t acknowledge his mistake or apologize. Villa was a bit run down. For the price you are paying, there are things that should definitely be updated. Cushions on furniture need replaced. Canopy bed cover was dirty & falling apart. Among other things. Kitchen needs better water pressure & hot water, plumbing in downstairs bedroom is terrible. Heel got stuck in the wooden floor where it was falling apart in upstairs bedroom. A piece of the outside wall right outside the kitchen chipped off as I walked past, fell on my knee & scraped it. The stairs in the same area are worn, causing me to misstep & I injured my foot badly. Pool was freezing. Photos online are very outdated. But ambience was magical.

Rustic Charm

The rental was gorgeous. Beautiful patio surrounded by nature. The sound of the river and birds was beautiful to wake up to. However, if you don't like mosquitos, Iguanas, and lizards this might not be the place for you. This house is ideal for adults or families with older children. All bedrooms are separate so I cannot imagine this set up working if you have small children and want to place them in their own room. We had our 9 month old and she was able to sleep in our bedroom since we had a king size bed. I subtracted one star only because house said there was a high chair for baby, however there was none at the home. I even confirmed with Delia. I would like to highlight that Josefina and Delia were the sweetest humans around. They prepared delicious guacamole, and amazing breakfast.

Jungle vibes in Puerto Vallarta

We came to PV for a girls trip and had a lovely stay at this home. Each room is unique and feels very separate. The doors to each room open to the courtyard or outdoors which was fun. That being said, be sure to close doors and curtains at night to keep to rooms cool and bugs out. The location was very central to everything we wanted to do in town. We had a great time overall. I would definitely stay here again

Summer Vacay in PV

We stayed at Villa Leonardo in late July 2022. Overall I would say the experience was positive. The best part of the property is Josefina and Delia. They made delicious breakfasts daily and kept the place tidy and clean. Another positive part of the property is the location. It's close and within walking distance to everything. The property itself is beautiful and very historic. The AC in the bedrooms is great, but be aware for the rest of the house you really need to embrace the concept of outdoor living as is standard in many older Mexican homes. There is some critical feedback I will offer. It's quite pricey so for what we were paying I would expect that doors close all the way and stay closed (upstairs bedroom, not in the main house). During the rainy season, the doors would open easily with the weather soaking the floor. The ceilings also leaked in both upstairs bedrooms when it rained. The pool is also in dire need of a resurface. It would be nice as well for all the rooms to have a TV that worked with Netflix. Some TV's did work and had Netflix, but not all. Easy, but important fixes to help make future guests stay more enjoyable. Should we return to Puerto Vallarta we would stay again,

Charming and Rustic

Josefina and Delia are amazing! They are truly the kindest women and took very good care of us. If you are looking for a modern home this would not be for you; however, if you appreciate art, Mexican architecture, open spaces, and fabulous foliage this is absolutely the place for you! It is unique and comfortable as all the rooms have air conditioning and there is plenty of spaces for privacy.

My wife and I love visiting Puerto Vallarta and this was our first time staying in Gringo Gulch. What a fabulous location! So close and walkable to everything, yet quiet in the evenings.

Historic property!

Wow, this villa is beautiful and has a lot of history! It does however need some work. There was a sewage smell coming from the drains and some of the tiles were missing and the floors uneven, But overall we had a great stay. The location is absolutely perfect, close to the beach, Malecon, lots of restaurants. I initially chose this place because I had been to Puerto Vallarta in the past and wanted to be near the river however we found out after arriving that a hurricane came and the river had been dried up for the last several months. This may have contributed to the smell and heat. Luckily the air conditioning units did work in the rooms. The pool was wonderful and dalya and Josefina did an amazing job cooking us breakfast and providing us with information! Because of all the open air in the home I would say that this is more like “Glamping ”. If you are not okay with bugs I would use caution. I still would come back, but hope that the owner can do some renovations to make things a little more up-to-date. All in all, had a great time! Loved having fresh margaritas, chips, and salsa homemade when we arrived. Again, perfect location!

Thank you so much for your valued feedback. Villa Leonardas open concept is a lot of maintenance , and the owner works hard to keep the villas charm and atmosphere. We definitely have some renovations in mind that continue to keep the villas welcoming ambience. Thank you for your review we hope to see you again soon and have the renovations, additions completed by then.

Fantastic Stay

Our stay at Leonarda was amazing! An eclectic collection of spaces provided an idyllic backdrop to our relaxing vacation with unique accommodations for everyone. The pool was warm, the courtyard delightful, and shady nooks provided a respite from the sun. Delia and Justinia were as nice as can be and Delia's guacamole is truly outstanding! The easy going villa was just what we had hoped for our vacation. Due to it's open air design, there's a bit of a lack of privacy with most of the rooms, which wasn't an issue for us, but if you needed completely enclosed rooms, it could be an issue. We reveled in the experience of having Ernesto (the giant green iguana), Manny (the friendly cat), the nightly army of leafcutter ants (Hormigas), a tree-full of chirping birds, and other urban animals share the space with us, but I can see how these cohabitants may not be so welcome for everyone. They were some of the highlights of our stay! There were some mosquitos, but bug spray was on hand and we all found the mosquito nets around the bed to be charming and effective. Though not the villa's fault, construction along the river is ongoing - so be prepared for construction noise and associated odors until it is complete. The villa is within easy walking distance to great restaurants and the Love Bridge, while remaining convenient to shops and the beach. Access will only improve when the construction of the nearby bridges are complete. Overall, we loved it and hope to come back to stay!

Pure Enchantment

This Villa is by far the most charming, enchanting place I have ever stayed. It is a piece of history and a work of art. The architecture is so fanciful that photographs cannot do it justice. There were ten of us, all adults, who love spending time together but also value space and privacy. Each couple had an exquisite bedroom and bath, all spacious, elegant, and whimsical, and all situated for privacy. The house is really two or three buildings with a series of stairways, decks, verandas, and covered open air areas. It is situated around a stunning courtyard which overlooks the river and has a pool and areas for sunning, napping, reading, dining, dancing, birdwatching, or iguana sighting, The kitchen is open air with a very comfortable seating area. The living and dining area are very elegant but it was too beautiful outside so we just admired it. We were welcomed by Delia and Josefina, two kind ladies who took excellent care of us. They had a round of margaritas and guacamole ready when we got there. It could not have been more perfect. Delia made us wonderful breakfasts, Josefina served us gracefully. One night we had a birthday party and they did such a wonderful job! I kept on discovering works of art. I did not keep count, but there are lions all over the house. Staying here was an honor. I do love movies. I am a huge fan of Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, John Huston, and that whole era of Hollywood history. This place is authentic. It is the real deal.

Informazioni sull’host

Host: Jeff Castaneda

I was born in Mexico City, says our host, but from an early age I moved here, right after my mother died. It was my uncle, Xavier de la Torre, who brought me to Vallarta to live with him.
The fame of Xavier de la Torre grew when pictures of Elizabeth appeared in Vallarta displaying their designs.
Xavier was very close to Rock Hudson, an endearing friend of Elizabeth, so it was not long before she also became part of her uncle’s group, an incredibly creative man and a celebrity in Vallarta. From fashion to interior design and from there to sculpture or cooking. Everyone knew him and he knew everyone. His home (Villa Leonarda) was a true creative mecca.

Fairy godmother
My relationship with her was very special and unique, explains Sergio. How did she become my godmother? In a very natural and innocent way. One day, my uncle showed me a picture of her and commented: Look Sergio, your godmother. I just smiled and answered: Yes, I want Elizabeth to accompany me on my First Holy Communion. He replied: Very well, the next time you see her, ask her if she wants you to be her godson. And so it was. The desire of the little boy became a reality in a mass officiated in the Parish of Guadalupe, in front of a few assistants. She asked me to call her “madrinita” which is little godmother. No one else call her that, just me, Sergio remembers.

Perché ha scelto questa struttura

I often wonder when Vallarta’s destiny was written, says Sergio. Could that has been when Tennessee Williams wrote The Night of the Iguana imagining a magical place in Mexico? or when John Huston decided to film the movie at the port? Or when Elizabeth decided to accompany her husband during the filming? Anyone who has been the true detonator, the history of the port changed forever.

Of course, don’t forget the unique geography of this place. It’s one of the most beautiful bays in the world. The water is temperate, the sierra – which ends at the sea – is majestic and its inhabitants are extremely friendly, Sergio describes with great pride. In the end I think that everything contributed to create the myth of Puerto Vallarta.

Located in downtown Vallarta, in the colorful and lively area known as Gringo Gulch, Villa Leonarda is a quiet oasis for a perfect vacation in a casually stylish ambiance.
Built alongside the Cuale River, home to majestic iguanas, egrets and parrots, this rental villa, ideal for a family or a group of friends, is within walking distance from the boardwalk and main beaches, terrific restaurants and quaint shops. Imbued in a star-studded history, the house consists of two buildings where period and custom-designed furniture pieces alternate with artworks signed by renowned Mexican contemporary artists.
Three dining areas and a high-ceiling living room with a fireplace complement five spacious, well appointed rooms, with their whimsically decorated bathrooms. Once a favorite hangout for Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, today Villa Leonarda offers all the comforts of world-class accommodations.

Cosa rende unica questa struttura

Villa Leonarda is an oasis in the middle of the City. When looking from the outside you never imagine what's hidden behind its walls.
One of the great classic villas from the jet set days of the 1960s, recently updated with an urbane sophisticated style and upscale art and furnishings, Villa Leonarda evokes a glamorous age when Hollywood ruled Puerto Vallarta. Behind the stately hacienda walls, you will step into a magical world of beauty, charm and grace.
Villa Leonarda offers a unique experience that connects with the City history in a traditional Mexican architecture but renewed, fully equipped to provide a comfortable and sophisticated stay.

My uncle Xavier was of the zodiacal sign Leo, so all his friends always gave him figures of lions. That’s why he named his house “Villa Leonarda”. And although it has undergone some transformations, now it is the oldest one that exists in Vallarta. The house was abandoned some time after his death. I came from time to time, but on one of those occasions the house wouldn’t let me go. Elizabeth used to visit his house regularly. I remember returning from school and there they were all gathered talking. They could be Richard, Elizabeth, Xavier and Burt Lancaster, for example.

In addition to being an extraordinary designer; he had an outstanding talent to create friendly atmospheres, to cook and to decorate, -the reason why the meetings were always made in Villa Leonarda-. He was a splendid host. There is even a very interesting anecdote about the property. According to my uncle, one day Richard offered to buy it because, apparently, he always liked it more than the one he inhabited, to which Xavier responded in a friendly but definitive manner: Look Richard, you have fame, private plane an extraordinary career and, especially Elizabeth Taylor, but this house will never be yours.
