For 6 adults and 3 children under 3, Casa Ileana was very spacious. There are private outside sitting rooms for quiet time. We enjoyed the large family area with large sofas and a dining area where we could all congregate. The pool was perfect for the little ones. Beautifully decorated. Thank you to the staff for the delicious food and their warmth. Guests with mobility issues may find the climb and stairs difficult to maneuver.

This property has so much character, very private, and plenty of space. I love that each room had its own private outdoor seating area and there was plenty of space to lounge around in. The beds were very comfortable.The service by the house staff was amazing- we arrived with a stocked fridge and bar with food and drinks waiting on us. They consistently checked in on us to see if we needed additional grocery or drink items so we never had to make a trip to the store, we had several breakfast and dinners prepared by Christina and they were lovely with no stress of finding a place to eat or planning a menu. Will stay here again!

Every review that we read was exactly spot on. The pictures do not do it justice. The house was perfect for our group. The views are amazing and Christina is the best chef we’ve had at a Puerto Vallarta property. We will definitely return!

The house was incredible. The pictures don't do the house justice. We spent every night at the pool enjoying the view. Christina and her staff were very friendly and her food was delicious. We are already looking at planning a repeat trip.

We could not speak highly enough about this idyllic property. It is perfect for up to 5 couples with King size beds in all rooms. It is very close to Zona Romantica and it’s amazing culture and night life- just a short walk or very inexpensive Uber ride (if you prefer to avoid walking up the steep hill). Cristina, the house manager, and her staff take amazing care of you providing you with authentic meals and ensuring you have everything you need for the home but also providing privacy when needed. The owners, Sylvia and Jon, are equally amazing. They were very informative and responsive to all our questions and needs (going above and beyond)! The indoor/outdoor living room/gathering area has extremely comfortable and deep lounging couch area that allow you to take in the beautiful views of the pool, city and ocean. (Of note, if you’re traveling in warmer months the only large sitting space that has air conditioning is in the master suite, although this usually isn’t an issue with the amazing breeze and multiple fans provided). Highly recommend and hope to return in the future!

Casa Ileana was a dream! The villa, the location, the privacy, the staff…all incredible! We were a party of 11 that went for a friends 50th birthday celebration, and they even put up decorations before we arrived to help make it special. The villa is so beautiful, very spacious and had many little nooks and private sitting areas, lush foliage, beautiful artwork…and the living room/kitchen area that opens to the pool/patio area was perfect for us to gather and hang out. The view from the patio is gorgeous and so relaxing. There were a few days we didn’t even want to leave the villa at all. We felt like we were in an old world castle. The staff were incredible and so attentive, they took great care of us! Christina is an amazing chef!!! Every meal was delicious and they made sure we had everything we needed/wanted for food/drinks, and helped with any questions about things to do, etc. They arranged massages for us by the pool, and they were amazing!!! They worked with our schedules each day and it was VERY convenient to have a chef/staff make snacks and drinks and bring them to us by the pool, set up the meals for you and clean everything up. And they make sure the villa is clean, they would make our beds and straighten our rooms for us while we’re at the pool or out during the day, which was also a nice touch. We were totally spoiled and it made our stay even better than we could have imagined. We really couldn’t stop talking about Christina’s cooking, everything was made

Honestly the pictures do not do Casa Ileana justice. This place is beautiful, has a great ocean view, and is very spacious! We were a group of 10 and if you needed some time to yourself you could find a space for it. Now let me tell you about the staff (Cristina, Jaime, and Maria). They are absolutely wonderful!!! This trip was for my birthday and they did everything to make it the best one! We sent a pretty extensive list ahead of our arrival of the things we wanted and everything (except a couple things that aren’t sold there) was there when we arrived. Cristina the chef/manager made us some great breakfasts and amazing dinners. She believes in farm-to-table and would shop each day for the freshest ingredients. One of my friends wanted ceviche as a snack one day and she made one of fish and one of shrimp and they were absolutely delicious. I don’t think she could make a bad meal if she tried. Jamie and Maria were both so friendly. If we asked for a drink while we were at the pool the had it there for us. Jaime made some great margaritas for us every time we asked. They kept everything clean and spotless, which with our group I’m sure was a challenge. Honestly I couldn’t think of a better place to stay. Whenever I go back to PV with a large group this will be the first place I’ll check to see if it’s available! I would definitely suggest staying here. You’ll have an amazing time whether you go out or stay in!

Our family of 10 (6 adults and 4 children ages 10, 7, 6 and 2) stayed 7 nights at Casa Ileana. From my first communications with Sylvia, I new it was going to be an amazing stay. Sylvia was always so quick to reply to all my questions and provided more information than I have ever received from any other VRBO owner, she is amazing! I arranged with Sylvia to have the kitchen stocked for our arrival. Cristina picked up everything on our list and was prepared with fabulous margaritas, cold cerveza, guac, salsa and chips. Everything was perfect! The house is impressive and the view so beautiful. There are so many places and levels for the grandkids to explore. Our favorite place was around the pool basking in the sunshine with a cocktail in hand. The location is fantastic, about a 10 minute walk to the Romantic Zone, so many restaurants (LaPalapa's for Sunday Brunch was a great recommendation by Sylvia) and bars, but our favorite place was Eulo's Bakery, we visited Eulo's every day! As every other person mentioned, it is a steep hill to get back home, but we always knew the pool and cold beverage were waiting once arrived, so it was worth the effort. We thoroughly enjoyed Cristina's wonderful breakfasts, we let her decide what to make for us and she never disappointed. We did ask her to make French toast every morning, along with all her other fantastic dishes, because it was out of this world good! Her frijoles are also amazing! She cooked 3 dinners for us and they were all 5 star, better than restaurant quality, meals! We are all missing Cristina's cooking! Jaime and Maria were also great as well! Jaime made fresh squeezed OJ every morning, such a great addition of our breakfasts. So many wonderful family memories were made on this trip and a lot of it because of the fantastic accommodations and the wonderful care we received by everyone associated with Casa Ileana! We can't wait to return! Thank you again for sharing. your beautiful home. Book this place, it is a dream come true!
