About this villa rental

Perched on a bluff, one block from Los Muertos beach lies this massive hidden villa. It is full of charm and beautifully nestled on the top floor of a brick-walled estate ... offers its guests an unparalleled living experience. A prefect example of Vallartas golden era of architecture this open air residence offers complete privacy and a sense of calm, while being only a short ten minute walk from old town.

A continuous wrap around terrace flows seamlessly with the property's extensive tropical gardens and sumptuous outdoor spaces, creating a one of a kind setting for the ultimate in tropical getaways. The jewel of the outdoor spaces is the heated pool and lounge area featuring a double king sized sunbed nestled under a large palapa. With several additional recliners around the pool, there is no shortage of places to sit and follow the sun.

We had a group of 10 staying at Villa Ladera, and it proved to be a perfect home base for our time in Zona Romantica. There was plenty of space at the house, and we really enjoyed the open air design. Would highly recommend.

Villa Ladera is a great location to stay...for those who want a walkable (albeit hills /steps) to shops /resturaunts and beaches. Sometime we would take a taxi-readily available right outside the gate. This open air living is wonderful and refreshing. The grandkids had an awesome time in the pool and watching movies on the big screen TV for chill time. We had Hector(chef) make us some delicious meals and Marco made the best margaritas! Hector made a chocolate birthday cake for our son-in-law that was out of this world fantastic! Isida refreshed our towels and bedding everyday. All the staff was so welcoming and accommodating. What a memorable stay for our family of 6 adults and 3 kids. Thank You Villa Ladera!

We enjoyed a nice long vacation in this beautiful villa. We loved the location in the Zona Romantica near Amapas and Conchas Chinas beaches. The property is comfortable, well-located, private, and the staff were lovely. The living spaces are open to the outdoors which makes for a charming ambiance, but be aware if you’re sensitive to heat or mosquitoes (though neither bothered me). The location is walkable for the physically able (Puerto Vallarta has hilly, cobble streets and steep steps) or a short taxi ride to restaurants and shops. I would highly recommend to friends, and I would love to go back.

My siblings and I decided to surprise my mother for her 70th birthday. This trip would be the first time all of us traveled outside the country together. It was even more important because my father recently passed and their 43rd marriage anniversary was the day after her birthday. Initially, upon arriving at Villa Ladera, I thought we were at the wrong place (the entrance looks like we were walking into a small apartment). However, like many places in PV, the beauty was on the other side of the gate. The villa was gorgeous, great sized rooms, great pool, well kept and cool artwork throughout. Scott, the owner and Isela the manager did a pretty good job of reaching out to us to situate things before the stay. We were all so busy before hand, trying to keep things secret while organizing ourselves, we missed their preliminary emails, but they took everything with stride an hustled us along ensuring we had an initial order for food in the house and a surprise brunch set for mom prior to arrival. When we had question regarding the food cost, Isela answered promptly. Hector (the chef) and Marco (property maintenance) ensured we had all the food we needed, and maintenance was addressed immediately. Hector cooked an epic brunch and breakfast daily. Most importantly, their presence did not interrupt our stay at all. Overall the home was gorgeous & service spectacular. Hands down one of the best vacation homes I’ve stayed in! Thank you Scott, mom loved it .

Was a really nice stay at Villa Ladera. Property manager responded promptly to all questions, the staff were very pleasant, efficient, detailed and skilled – we all loved every minute of it. Definitely a great place to relax with outstanding views, comfy rooms, living spaces and of course the pool. Super close to everything you want to be a part of, including the beach. Highly recommend paying for the staff to cook for you and shop for groceries. Doing that was worth every penny for our group and the Chef made wonderful food for each meal. The staff worked very well together to make it all happen seamlessly. Thank you to the staff for everything, thank you Scottie for the follow up and maintaining a good spot and thank you Blondies for the frequent cool downs! :)

Villa Ladera and all that goes with it is absolutely perfect. The place was fantastic for our family. Plenty of awesome outdoor community areas to eat, play games and just relax…and, plenty of privacy when anyone wanted it. Hector is an amazing chef, you must request the ceviche! Salsas were terrific and Surf and Turf night was delicious! Marco makes the best margaritas in town and Isela keeps everything beautiful and clean. The pictures do NOT do the villa justice. The daybed is huge and wonderful to all relax on, the rooms are spacious and connected bathrooms gives everyone their privacy, the outdoor table was perfect to enjoy the incredible meals. It’s a quick walk into town and we felt completely safe the entire time. We will be back!!!

This is a fantastic property in a perfect location for the old town in PV. The property is immaculate and meets the needs of any big group. The rooms and bathrooms are wonderful and the beds are all comfortable. The shared spaces are vast and make for a great day/night just hanging out out the house. The staff is wonderful and make you feel extra comfortable with great drinks and food. Highly recommend and will be returning,

Our family spent five nights at Villa Ladera and enjoyed it immensely! Pictures don’t do it justice. Great property to be together as a group but have private space as well. Extremely clean and the staff was excellent. Meals prepared by the chef were fabulous, he even prepared a Chocolate Tres Leches birthday cake for our celebration. The private pool in the courtyard was the highlight for us; comfortable loungers and the bar area steps away were priceless! The open air villa was very comfortable even during the warm season with nice breezes and no bugs. Sleeping was very comfortable in the air conditioned suites. We found the location to be perfect. Walking distance to restaurants, shops, and the beach. For those unable to navigate a cobblestone incline, the Uber service was very affordable and reliable. Hope to return to Villa Ladera!
