Our overall experience was amazing. From the staff of Cesar(great chef), Adriana(house manager), Chema(maintenance), Arlette(house keeper), Chanel(host) and Talia(manager). They were all so wonderful and helpful. We had 4 little ones with us but it was very safe environment for them to play. Cesar made amazing food and our family/friends loved it. Especially the kids and we know how picky they can be. We definitely will come back and highly recommend this location. House is beautiful and neighborhood is very safe.

Villa Lucia is a multi-level house, that's layout allows for ultimate privacy for up to 12 guests to coexist with as much or as little interaction as desired. One room deep, all rooms have outstanding views of the bay. The incredible chef, Cesar, trained in a culinary program in Puebla, and his food is delicious and beautifully presented. The barkeeper Adriana made the most delicious infused waters and presented them beautifully. Both Cesar and Adriana were so attentive, kind and welcoming. They absolutely made our stay! A few notes to consider: Floors are unfinished Cantera (volcanic-like porous) stone and leave a residue on your feet that even the best housekeeping wouldn't be able to address. The glass doors into the kitchen and living areas are dangerous in that they are kept so clean that they are invisible and perhaps need some sort of decal application to make them more visible. The low railings all through the house make the property less than ideal for children as a fall from any level of the house would be unsurvivable. Hot water was great in some rooms, and lacking in others. Perhaps most importantly, familiarize yourself with local tipping standards pertaining to staff at luxury rentals. We found the guidance given by the property management company to be incongruent to comparable properties. The formula the management company asks for is $15 dollars per guest per employee per day, which would total $780 dollars per day in tips divided between the 4 staff members if the house were occupied to capacity with 12 guests. In our case, 8 guests would incur $420 in tips per day divided between the 4 staff members. As mentioned, the staff is exceptional and deserving, but just be advised that we found the management company's formula to be excessive and incongruent to local standards, which we determined to be 5% of the rental cost divided appropriately between the staff. If you do go by the management company's formula, calculate an additional 25% of the rental's total listed cost to be expected in tips. Thank you to the owners and to Cesar and Adriana for our wonderful stay.

We had the best time at this house. We had 10 girls at the house for a bachelorette party. There was MORE than enough space/room/beds for us. We could have had 12-14+ people total and still be comfortable. The rooms had AC and stayed cool throughout the night which was nice in the middle of August. There were a ton of common areas to hang out in, all with views of the ocean. The pool and pool area was perfect for us. We brought floaties and they had some for us as well. We loved hanging by the pool all day, enjoying the view and having the mixologist (Arianna) make us amazing margaritas in many different flavors. The service was incredible. Chef Cesar made us gourmet, 3-course meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The spread each day was impressive. The house manager was easy to communicate with. We were texting on Whatsapp and when we arrived she helped us decorate one of the rooms for our disco themed bach party and helped us blow up the pool floaties. They had sonos which was great. I was able to play music all weekend throughout the house. I was a little surprised by how much they charged us at the end for groceries, meals and service... In the same breath, it was worth it. Just be aware that there will be a final bill. Overall I think the house is perfect for a family weekend, bachelorette party, birthday weekend etc. Thank you to the rest of the staff as well! Everyone was so accommodating and kind to us. The housekeeper, maintenance guy, mixologist and chef were all super helpful. I will definitely be coming back soon :)

The pictures do not do this house justice! The views from every room are amazing. Every space was open, airy and comfortable. I came with 7 girlfriends who often travel together. There was more than enough space for us all to spread out. The pool was heated and is another spot with an amazing view. The jacuzzi was not working during our stay and keep in mind the pool is deep. What truly made this trip on top of the beauty was the mixologist Adriana and the chef Cesar! Food was amazing EVERY time and beautifully presented. Adriana is more like an experience curator. She made sure the music worked, helped us prep themed dinners and checked in with everyone individually to make sure they were enjoying. Truly so nice and attentive. All staff doesn’t work on Sunday, so we had more quality time with Cesar and Adriana. Be prepared for indoor/outdoor living at night. It was rainy seasons and the geckos and bugs descended at night. Our group has many allergies amongst us and it did require repeated communication to ensure certain foods were not present. The way this house is structured they shopped beyond the requested groceries to help create an experience and added in foods that are allergens unknowingly. I figured I didn’t add them to the list, so we would be clear. By the end Adriana knew each person by their “can’t eat” list, which was amazing. Overall, our style is to find homes where we could choose to explore or just stay in and enjoy and have a fulfilling vacation. This is definitely a house you can come in and enjoy great food, massages, pool time and views, never really having to leave unless you want to!

Everything about our experience at Villa Lucia was absolutely amazing. We would give 10 stars if possible! The villa is even more beautiful than in the pictures. It was an absolute dream with the most amazing views I have ever seen. We had 13 people and there was so much room- this place is huge! Multiple stories with gorgeous views and balconies off of every single room. A lot of open air with windows and doors that open up. The infinity pool overlooks all of downtown PV and you can see water in all directions. We watched gorgeous sunsets every night in the hot tub that they added right before our stay. They heated the pool to the temperature we wanted and had fresh towels ready for us each day. There’s a really great sound system throughout the main floor and the pool area- we just plugged in an iPad or phone and played whatever we wanted. There are multiple living rooms to hang out in, 2 kitchens, so many showers and bathrooms that we could all get ready at the same time. It was a short 5 minute walk downhill to downtown and the beach. It’s a steep walk back up, but Ubers are available for about $2 USD and are very quick. This is honestly the best place any of us have ever stayed and we would absolutely go back again! All of the staff were amazing and they took such good care of us. The property manager, Sare, was so helpful with our planning before our arrival and while we were there. She really took care of us and anything we needed- rides, massages, covid testing to return to the US, etc. The mixologist, Adriana, was amazing! She made us really good drinks and helped with our grocery lists, cleaned up after us, and was so friendly and fun to have around. The chef, Daniel, was fantastic and his cooking was 10/10! To wake up to a beautiful breakfast, overlooking the ocean and sunrise was unreal. We asked the staff to wear masks because of covid and they did with no problem. The villa was kept very clean everyday for us. We were there for my birthday and they surprised us with decorations upon arrival- they were all about the extra little touches to make it a memorable experience for us. There is nothing we would change about this villa. It honestly blew our minds and we felt so lucky to stay there!
