We stayed here for a week! (4 adults, 2 children, 1 baby) It was absolutely perfect having a place to call home in Conchas Chinas. This property is close to Old Town where there’s dining, music, the beach and the beautiful Mercado. We went into town every day and once the kids had enough we took a short and inexpensive cab/Uber ride home to play in the pool and take in the breathtaking views. On top of this being a great property, Chela made our time there extraordinary! Chela made our breakfast daily upon request, changed our linens, cleaned the entire house every day, washed all our dishes from the night before, made homemade guacamole and salsa and she did it with such grace. She is such a lovely and kind person and having her help with all those daily chores made our stay here more resort like than anything else. We truly relaxed…and that’s saying a lot with a 4 yo, a 3 yo and a 7 month baby!! Lisa the property manager was always accessible and helped arrange transportation to and from the airport. Don’t wait on this property. Book now!! We just got home yesterday and we’re already talking about when we can return. Everyone and everything was excellent! Muchas Gracias, Chela, Lisa and Anna!!

The property is beautiful - better than the pictures indicate. Breakfast and cleaning was provided every day. Its an easy 10-15 minute walk into the Romantic Zone (although you may want to take an Uber back unless you like uphill walking - its pretty steep when you get to the subdivision.) Loved the funicular up to the Villa itself.

There were three of us staying at the property, each with our own Bed/Bath. The property is beautifully decorated and appointed. All rooms and common areas were immaculately clean. The rooms were spacious and comfortable and everything from televisions to air conditioners to showers, etc. worked well. The property manager was attentive and responsive; quick to answer texts, emails and calls throughout the stay. The daily staff were polite, professional and accommodating. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in the luxurious home with amazing views and every amenity we wanted or expected. It was easy, fast and inexpensive to get Uber rides into town and Uber or taxi rides back to the property. We would happily recommend the place to friends and family alike. Chela was wonderful at providing delicious the deliciuos meals we requested. She was always puntual and thorough and kept things clean and neat always. We loved our stay and would stay again.

This place was amazing! Conchas Chinas is very close to the main tourist area (Romantic zone), with most places only about a 10 minute drive. But...the views are killer and unlike the tourist area, it is very peaceful and quiet. As mentioned everywhere, Chela is awesome and gets your day started beautifully with a breakfast. One word of caution...the tiles by the pool are very slick so just be careful when you get out. Trust me - you will be getting in that pool and staring at the sunset each day. Great stay!

Outstanding property! Not one single complaint. Everything from the initial booking to check in was outstanding service. The pictures do not do this place justice. Anna the Property Owner was super responsive/helpful and Lisa the Property Manager was lovely to work with from check-in to check-out. Location was perfect - only a $4.50(USD) Uber ride to the heart of downtown PV. The highlight of this property was Chella the Housekeeper who came each morning (at the time of your choosing) to clean the house and to make us a DELICIOUS breakfast each morning. Thought and love were put into each one of her signature Mexican Breakfast dishes and even made us guacamole to enjoy in the afternoons. You will not be disappointed if you choose this property. Next time we are in PV - we will be staying here again for sure.

We were a group of 3 couples who have vacationed in PV for a number of years. When the oceanfront condo we had been staying in was sold, we decided to try a villa away from the water. What a great decision! All aspects of our rental were seamless and excellent. From our initial contact with Anna and Erwin all the way to checking out with Lisa we were very pleased. The villa is even more beautiful than the photos and the view is spectacular. We especially enjoyed the pool and other outdoor areas. We walked to restaurants and beaches daily, but sometimes used Uber for return trips. It is a steep walk up, but it helped us work off the great food you will find in PV. And then there is our lovely Chella... she was there every morning to make us the most delicious breakfasts! We are all suffering withdrawal. She also straightened up and took care of linens and towels. We enjoyed this stay so much that we are looking to stay for 2 weeks next year.

My friends and I absolutely loved our stay at this property! The home is beautiful and located higher up in Conchas Chinas on the 4th level of a multi-story complex, where you are walking distance or a short uber ride from the beaches (i.e. Playa Los Muertos) and the night life and shopping in Zona Romantica. Don't worry, you won't hear the people below you either. As stated, the house is gorgeous with great views. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen has plenty of room for groceries (which they will get for you if you request prior to arrival), and the outside patios were spacious as well. As a back up for a rainy day, I would recommend travelers bring DVDs, books, games or other ways to occupy their time should you be unfortunate and have a rain day as there were only a handful of DVDs to choose from and the Satellite TV as far as we could tell is only in Spanish. Chela's brunches were delicious, and she also washed our clothes each day if we left them out for her. Ask for her fresh guacamole! The overall staff were very attentive to our needs without being intrusive. We would 100% all recommend staying here and would do so again. It is a great location appropriate for celebrations (we were celebrating a friend's 30th bday), families, or any other group. Some caution for those with mobility issues as the hill up to the property is very steep, although the funicular allows for easy access from the base of the 4-condo building.

We've just had two blissful weeks at Villa Horizonte Azul and we loved it. The villa is immaculate and, over 3 levels, has plenty of space for a family to spread out. Three lovely outside decks complete the picture, with lots of indoor/outdoor flow and just the right amount of shade on those hot days.It's close (20 minutes downhill walk) from the old town, so easy to pop down for lunch or dinner, and a $5 (Peso100) cab fare home.The views out across Banderas Bay sweep out in front of you, quite majestic. And the fun of getting your own 'tram' (or cable car) up to the house from the private culdesac that the house is located on, adds further to the sense of being perched up away from the bustle below. Anna and Erwin have thought of everything to make this home a wonderfully relaxing holiday retreat. The daily housekeeper Chela is a national treasure - she'll whip up guacamole and fabulous salsa in an instant if you have the ingredients to hand, on top of making excellent breakfasts to set you up for the day. She is also a scrupulous housekeeper, so the place was always pristine. Like most hillside properties, the pool is more a plunge pool than one where you'll get any laps done, but perfect to cool off and gaze over the infinity edge. The BBQ works well and makes it easy to do lovely outdoor suppers, with very comfy outdoor furniture which is easy to nod off in - a true test of whether outdoor spaces have been lived in by the owners, versus set up just to look good for rental photographs! Thankyou Anna & Erwin for a memorable and delightful stay up on the hill - we absolutely loved it and would wholeheartedly recommend your picturesque home.

Wow what a wonderful villa up on the hill with a wonderful view over looking the sea and bay below but close enough to walk to the beach, shops and restaurants etc. Upon arrival Aldo took us through the villas amenities which also included a free iPhone to use and take out with us so that we had a usable phone in Mexico there was also an in-house landline which was free to use to make calls locally and to certain countries. The whole villa was spotlessly clean and there was some supplies in the fridge for us to eat and drink etc. Then next morning a delightful Chela arrived (the House keeper) to make our breakfast and clean etc (I think this was included in the first week but we paid a little extra for breakfast and lunch to be included the whole time we were there and WOW was it worth it ! Chela catered to our every food need ! Considering we had one person who couldn’t eat fish and one who was vegetarian Chela created different breakfasts learning how we liked our coffees,teas,fruit, porridge and eggs etc. (She made fruit juice every day from all the fresh fruit and some days she made smoothies) Lunch was amazing healthy simple dishes all freshly prepared by Chela her guacamole is the best in PV (we tried many restaurants but very few could compare!) each day she’d ask us what we’d like to eat and show us what was available the next day so that she could prepare for it. All we can say is Chela is well worth the extra and thank god for google translate ! Chela you’re the best. We had lots of contact with the agent Lisa and the owners who were most accommodating making sure all was ok. The gardener and his helper were regularly tending the building and plants they helped us out immediately with electric plug extension leads and any small details that needed tending to during our stay. It was hard to leave the villa with all its comfort even during our stay we do hope to return to this wonderful experience !!! We would definitely recommend a stay here.

We have stayed in Puerto Vallarta several times, this property is the best by far! Anna and Erwin were very easy to work with from start to finish, they have thought of everything to make your stay comfortable and easy. The amenities are as good as a five star hotel, from airport pickup, daily maid service with breakfast included (gracias Chela) and the personalized service from Aldo and Lisa at Pancho Villas real estate management. I must say the pictures do not truly show the beauty of this property! The views are simply stunning. The house is comfortable with enough space to spread out. I’m already looking at my calendar for a return stay here.

Incredible property in a great location just above the Romantic Zone. The owners are very easy to work with and responsive. The staff was excellent. The pictures on the site do not come near conveying how beautiful the house and view are. Our group was three couples and the layout was perfect for us. Great gathering areas and great private areas. Would definitely stay at this property again.

This review is long overdue. We have been visiting PV for many years. Stayed at a number of hotels, homes and condos, but Villa Horizonte Azul is by far our favorite. We will be returning to this incredible place for our 5th time soon. Yes, we love it that much. Anna, Erwin, The Poncho Villas management team, Chela, Enrique, and Gabriel go above and beyond to ensure you are well taken care of and have a great, stress free vacation. Our personal tag line for this beautiful place "How do you beat it?" The best of the best owners, staff, hospitality, view and amenities. Peaceful, secure, luxury at its finest. This is a must stay Villa.

Just came back from Villa Horizonte Azul and had an awesome experience. Everything is top-notch, from the management at Panchos Villas (thank you Lisa, Aldo) to the superb service by Chela, a fantastic person that cooked the best breakfast you will ever have in Mexico (gracias Chela!). The house is gorgeous, and the views just like in the pictures. The hike up the street from the beach is quite strenuous, but will keep you from gaining any extra pounds while there. The location is perfect for dinner runs into old Vallarta. Totally recommend it!

A perfect location 5 minute drive to old town PV or the beach. Plenty of space with two bedrooms downstairs and a large master bedroom with lounge on the top floor. After a long day at the beach we loved boarding the funicular that took us up to what our kids affectionately called our "nest"! It did feel as though we were in a treehouse, waking up to the sites and sounds of colourful birds in the lush foliage surrounding us. There is plenty of space and with six of us staying, we never felt like we were tripping over each other. Chela the housekeeper and our most wonderful cook made us a delicious breakfast and lunch everyday all with an authentic Mexican flare. From the moment we arrived at the airport we felt taken care of. The Horizonte Azul driver whisked us away to the villa where we were greeted by the house staff and property management team. Super organized and thorough, we felt very safe and taken care of. We were provided with a house cell phone which we used often to contact a driver to take us to the beach or town. Very prompt, we never had to wait more than 10 minutes for a lift. Overall the home is well appointed with no detail missed. A beautiful view with stunning infinity pool really was the icing on the cake. A perfect vacation for anyone wanting to get away from it all. After staying at Villa Horizonte Azul you will not want to stay at an all inclusive ever again!

This luxurious home is very well maintained and has a terrific view of the ocean. The beds are very comfortable, the house is quite spacious and the kitchen is very modern, including all the appliances. The home is also in an excellent location being so close to the various restaurants of Old Town. There are lots of places to stay in Puerto Vallarta, but many properties are at least a 30 minute drive from Old Town. Great restaurants, the beach and shopping are located within 10 to 15 minutes of this home. I highly recommend this home for families or groups looking for a great property in a quiet location that is close to downtown.

Since our last stay, we arrived to find thoughtful improvements - the owners have been "busy beavers"! The reviews below really say it all about this beautifully situated villa. New this year is a swap of the living room and dining room, new furniture for the living room (now at the gorgeous view windows) and outdoor living room. It's still spacious, relaxing and inspiring.

I cannot say enough great things about this villa and Anna and everyone involved with making our stay memorable! Anna and Aldo were always available to answer questions or accommodate last minute changes which we had quite a few. The staff at the villa also provided great service and always with a smile. Our party included 3 couples and the villa was large enough to make sure everyone had privacy and also provided a great atmosphere for times when we gathered to prepare a meal, relax in the pool, grill out or just lounge around. Security was never an issue and German and Gabriel ensured we were able to travel around the city and never worry about getting lost or stranded. If you are considering this villa don't hesitate. ..just do it!

I know I sound like a broken record, in agreement with the other reviews, but this house is truly awesome! Matched with the impeccable service, the house made the perfect place for my wife and I to spend a week with our adult sons and their significant others. It was a perfect place for three couples, with the three bedrooms each with private baths. The common areas of the house were great, and saying the view was amazing was an understatement! We spent a majority of our time on the outside patios, with three to choose from! One by the pool, one off the second level main bedroom, and one on the top level...all were great places to relax, watch the tropical birds that are all around you, and the beautiful sunsets! The owners, Erwin and Anna, were so helpful, with great communication all the way up to our arrival, then checked on us a couple times while we were there! Very nice people! We love Chela who came in the mornings to cook breakfast and do some housekeeping. She was helpful and accommodating. We also had Chef Luis come in a couple nights and cook dinner at the house, both meals were amazing! Highly recommended! We will indeed go back....assuming we can still get a week after everyone hears the good news! :-)

Nothing but positive things to say. First class service. Will definitely come back. If something was not to our satisfaction it was addressed immediately. Chela, Gabriel, Aldo along with gardener and pool guy made sure everything was clean and well maintained. Chela even washed our clothes. The included morning breakfast was an excellent way to get our day started. Having the use of a cellphone with 100 minutes included was a nice touch. This came in handy when we needed to call Gabriel for a ride home from a distant beach. Thanks Anna and Erwin. Enjoy the pictures!

We had literally perfect accommodations and service at Villa Horizonte Azul. It started with a very smooth booking process with Anna to transportation from the airport with Gabriel (pre-arranged and included in the cost) to Aldo (an excellent property manager and really great guy) meeting us on arrival, Chela (maid and cook), and everyone else, we really couldn’t have asked for more. We were even able to meet up with Aldo out in Punta Mita and had Gabriel join us out to the Marietas Islands and for lunch. I can definitely say that we have made new long term friends on this trip. I can’t say enough about Chela. She works so hard and is so sweet. My wife and I have been to PV about 20 times and we have stayed at a few houses and while some were bigger, (Villa Escondita, Casa Copa De Oro, etc..). I feel like Villa Horizonte Azul represented the best overall value and just a top notch staff. As far as the villa, the pictures are 100% accurate. The master suite is amazing. I recommend heating the pool (it cost us about 800 peso's or $55 for 5 days). The only people I would not recommend this property for would be if someone has extreme physical limitations as this is way up a hillside (they do have a tram so you don't have to climb stairs if you don't want to). If you are considering this home, book it-you won't be sorry.

Lucky to spend another holiday at this gorgeous Villa in the Conchas Chinas district of Puerto Vallarta. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! So relaxing to watch the pink sunrises over the ocean, whales sounding, fishing boats and sunsets at day end. Always a refreshing breeze, the bird song from the nearby forest at dawn, and the privacy of this magnificent residence. We lounged in the sun, cooled down in the infinity pool and ate delicious meals every day. So many restaurants to choose from and we love shopping for handmade rugs, pottery and jewelry in town. Puerto Vallarta is a fun place with so much to enjoy. The staff and owners of the Villa Horizonte Azul provide for your every need and think of everything. We like the feeling of the 24 hour security also. The Villa is beautifully furnished and spotlessly clean with first world bathrooms, bedrooms, kitchen, television, telephone service and computer hookup (bring your computer). AC also if needed. We took walks on the beaches, visited the nearby towns and tourist sights, and ate at fabulous restaurants; coming HOME each evening to this beautiful and peaceful Villa for a restful sleep. What a wonderful holiday!!!! Thank you Erwin and Anna!

Just returned from a 7 night stay at Anna and Erwin's absolutely beautiful Villa! Was our very first experience using VRBO so was a bit skeptical as to what to expect. Anna was extremely helpful in walking us through this whole process. We went with close friends of ours and each had their own bedroom and bath. Villa exceeded our expectations ( photos were right on as pictured on vrbo site) but even more so after arriving. So much room to roam whether you want to all be together and lots of spaces if you prefer privacy to read or soak up the sun. Weather was Perfect every day (mid 80's) sunshine, and sometimes warm ocean breezes as we almost ALWAYS sat outside in the outdoor living space or in the pool. Being from Wisconsin where the wind chill was a -40 degrees for several days while we were gone...this was definitely the place to be! Staff was always so helpful with anything we needed. From Aldo..to Claudia...to Chela ( the maid and who cooked breakfast every morning except Sunday for us). the pool staff...and Gabriel ( our taxi driver who picked us up at airport) and became one of our good friends who was always there for us if we needed a ride somewhere. And of course Anna and Erwin are always a phone call away. Villa is close enough to town but far enough away to enjoy the peace and tranquility of the views from any of the balconies. Villa is very secure and gated so never felt compromised in the least. This was definitely one of our best vacations..Ever! Just wish we could have stayed longer! Hoping we can return again to Villa Horizonte Azul.

Our first time to Mexico and this was the way to go! We have two teenagers and it was perfect for everyone. It was super clean, comfortable, accommodating and luxurious. At every 30 pages of my book, I would relocate to another fabulous lounge chair with an incredible view. Owners were awesome, checking in with us frequently and the people everywhere were so friendly!

First time back to Puerto Vallarta since 2006 which was at an all inclusive. This villa is the way to go when visiting PV. It is total luxury and yet completely comfortable. We didn't have perfect weather but used the pool every day and the outdoor covered patio was the favourite spot! Beds were super comfortable and AC for sleeping was very welcome and worked great. I have a family connection which was a bonus - but we would come here with or without it. My husband is not a big fan of Mexico and wasn't keen to go but he loved it and talked about coming back already. He had a perfect corner spot in the pool to watch the birds, boats and activities below. We ended up renting a car and used it everyday, but the location is easily accessible to town or anywhere by taxi or bus which are both cheap. the walk down to town or restaurants are easy but be prepared for a hike back up the hill. Good way to work off the margaritas and enchiladas! We did walk up the stairs to the villa most days and it's a work out but the lift is great for getting up groceries and luggage. We had no issues eating in town and had some fabulous meals especially the -Blue Fin right on the beach and Joes Fish Shack (i think) right down town. If you are a golfer we highly recommend 'Vista Vallarta' designed by Jack Nicklaus - pricey but a great experience! the staff were awesome as were our prepared breakfast in the mornings - felt like royalty - don't miss out on your opportunity to visit this property!

This villa was AMAZING! My husband & I just recently stayed here for our honeymoon and we honestly couldn't have picked a better place to stay. The views are spectacular and very private. Located in Conchas Chinas which is a great location, cheap taxi rides into Downtown. It is also very close to El Set Restaurant, one of our favorites, which we were able to walk down to. The house is incredible. From the kitchen to the bathrooms and bedrooms, everything is updated! The master bedroom is completely secluded from the rest of the house (located upstairs on it's own floor) and the view from the bed - WOW!!! The pool was so relaxing! The staff was great! I honestly have nothing bad to say about this place and not enough words to describe how awesome this villa is and the owners! The owners were in constant contact with us up till our arrival making sure we had everything we needed. If you have never stayed in Puerto Vallarta or have never stayed in the Conchas Chinas area then this is definitely the villa to rent!!! The only regret I have is not staying longer!!! Thank you for helping us have an amazing honeymoon! Looking forward to another vacation soon at the villa!!
