We had the most amazing vacation. Villa Castillo was fabulous - but the best part about staying there was Cesar. Cesar made our vacation. He was not just an employee that worked at VC, who was an amazing chef, he became a friend to us. We absolutely enjoyed him and Sebastian. -!: we will miss them.

There were eight of us staying at the property. All adults, freinds who are like family. We come to Vallarta one to two times per year (except COVID times). We have rented all sorts of properties for many years (since 1994) and in several different Colonias. This property has been our favorite so far and we all agreed we we will be coming back and booking Villa Castilla for all our future trips for large groups. The two large master suites separate from the main house had an electrical problem the first day we got there (our hair dryer took out a circuit) and we didn't have electricity in two rooms for a day and one room didn't have power in the closet or bathroom, the whole week - but they were quick to fix and accommodate lighting in the sections not working for the duration of our trip and it didn't bother us. It did not affect the AC in our rooms, luckily! The water also didn't work for a day, but that was resolved and it didn't really impede our enjoyment. Cesar, the chef and all around house manager cannot get any better. He is an amazing chef, accommodating to everything we wanted or needed, arranged COVID testing, massages and accommodated last minute extra guests for dinner one night. Sebastian was a delight to have around and took extra care of us and did it with a smile. Ashley was just as sweet and helpful. The air conditioned rooms we large and easily stored our clothes, luggage and cooled very quickly with the AC. The main living room is quite large, but it could use for more seating and perhaps updating a bit. Some light bulbs were burned out and being the architect design person they were noticed, but I am picking at hairs here. The pool area is HUGE and this is the first property with a private pool we have rented that had warm water. I don't know if it was heated, but we spent hours in the pool, lounging night and day. The sunsets were spectacularly framed between the palm trees and the views were some of the best. It was quite private, no one was the home next door and we felt completely private from everyone around us. We can't wait to go back and will book when this property is open! There are some minor updating that needs to be done, but the overall property and Cesar/Seabastian and Ashley make it five stars.

Our group was 7 adults. Plenty of rooms to accommodate all 7 of us. The place is a secluded area with the most espectacular views. Can't say enough about this house. The staff at the house"our friends" Cesar,Sebastián and Ashley were the best. They always made sure that our stay was as comfortable as it could be even going the extra mile to provide every thing we needed. We are making plans to come back soon and after driving around the whole town and looking at other options villa castillo will be it for us every time we come back. thanks a lot for a wonderful weekend

Our group of 7 (ranging in age from 18-70) had an amazing time at this property. The property owner was very helpful & communicative throughout the booking process. She even scheduled our Covid testing to come to the villa which was very convenient. The property itself is beautiful with modern decor & an amazing view. It is Walking distance from the beach, although the walk has some steep hills! The real gem of the property is the amazing staff. Cesar & crew went above & beyond making sure all of our needs were met. They were awesome! I would definitely stay at this property again.

Fourth time at Villa over past 7 years View is gorgeous Pool area huge and staff are were great Property needs to be attended to and updated Needs some work

An exceptional location in the best part of PV with easy access to the beaches and Amapas. Plenty of room and an excellent pool. The staff were extra special and took care of every one.

I can't say enough how incredibly happy we were with out stay at Villa Castilla. We were a group of two families, 4 adults and 5 children ages 9 - 3. Daniella, the host, was very communicative. She called us a month before our departure to answer any questions and replied to all texts & e-mails There was a ton of room for everyone; we probably could have had another family with us. The villa surrounds the pool area, making it the center living space of the home. The two biggest bedrooms each have their own bathroom and open to the pool area. The living area also opens to the pool and courtyard. Our goal was to get the kids outside in the sun; the layout did this perfectly. Also, we took time to hike (all hills) the neighborhood and look at the architecture of the surrounding homes - I recommend doing this if you like a workout. One thing we noticed is how Villa Castilla had one of the largest yards that was flat and fenced, making it safe for children. The other homes are built into the hillside on a slope and most have infinity pools; beautiful but not ideal for little kids. Cezar, the cook, is amazing. We wanted to take him home. Let me tell you, he cooked INCREDIBLE meals, including snacks mid-day for the adults and kids. He really wanted to please us, so he constantly was asking what we wanted for dinner and snacks. We finally told him to pick his favorite and, boy, were we glad we did. He even catered to our allergies by cooking gluten free. His food and margaritas are amazing. He did all of our grocery shopping, laundry and he cleaned the villa for us. We felt so spoiled. He was kind, respectful and anxious to take care of all of our needs. We were honored to thank him with a good tip upon our departure. The photos of the outdoors on VRBO do not do the view justice. The whole property faces the Pacific Ocean and we had the most stunning sunsets; I'm not sure a photo can do it justice. Also, do make sure to spend some time at the beach across the highway from the neighborhood; it is stunning. Our kids found the most beautiful shells and had a great time making sandcastles. One thing to note, supplies are minimal, we went out and bought floaties for the pool. We brought our own life jackets for the kids. Toiletries were a bar of soap and Head & Shoulders. We were totally fine with minimal, but it's something to note if you prefer extras. Daniella, Cezar and the villa were amazing. We can't wait to go back.

Great place for a bachelor party/large group. Extremely accomodating and easy to work with.

Not only was the house great but the staff was amazing. Ready to do whatever you want/need, even before you arrive, in order to make you’re stay a pleasurable one. I would definitely come back.

Villa Castillo was an amazing experience - the property overlooks the bay with rolling mountains in the horizon. The house is big with lots of open living space inside and casual spots to hangout outside. The staff were all very friendly and helpful each day and the food prepared was amazing. Definitely a place worth renting again!

We had the best weekend staying here at the villa. The staff were so nice. Juan was very attentive and was constantly bringing out a new supply of margaritas for us. Silvia's food was to die for! It was the perfect vacation. The house was absolutely gorgeous and the views were stunning!

We loved our stay. Staff was wonderful. Looking forward to staying again. House was very spacious. Bedroom are huge but need TVs. I like to watch tv at night before bed but other than that it was great.

We booked this villa for my 30th birthday trip. We had a group of 11 adults and there was more than enough room for everyone. The staff go above and beyond for you. They are all so helpful and friendly. We used our phones to help communicate with them. The food was some of the best I’ve ever had. Just let the chef do her thing and you won’t be disappointed. The views were stunning and the location was great. Short taxi/bus ride to shops, beaches and restaurants. Would highly recommend!!!

House was large enough for all 15 of us to stay comfortably. The staff were excellent. They went the extra mile to make our stay relaxing and comfortable. We asked the chef to cook dishes of his choice and were blessed with wonderful Mexican dishes that were served in a gourmet fashion. The leader of the staff, Judith, is a delight!!! I would highly recommend this vacation rental by owner home!
