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.

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!

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

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

Beautiful Villa

Three generations of our family spent a week at Villa Gaeta and had a fantastic time. The property manager and staff were most helpful and the Villa was beautifully furnished and maintained. Location was perfect: Playa de los Muertos, many restaurants, and shopping in the Romantic Zine were all within walking distance. The pool was great, as was the view.
