Our Most Recent Review:

"We cannot wait to come back to Villa Gaeta!
Our time at Villa Gaeta was just magical. We had been to Puerto Vallarta before and stayed at an all-inclusive which was lovely but it couldn't even come close to the charm and care of our stay at Villa Gaeta. The villa itself is just enchanting with all of its traditional architectural flair and the location was very convenient to the Zona Romantica. (The hill you have to walk is a workout, to be sure, but we did it everyday.) The thing that really set Villa Gaeta apart was the service – top notch! Both the owners and Mary, the house manager, were superb in their communication and always quick to reply both before and during our stay. Doria made us delicious breakfasts – we're all craving her Chilaquiles now that we're home! And the rest of the team – Tony and Eduardo – were just great. Honestly, we felt like family. And does it get better than that? There is a large condominium building being constructed which, sadly, obstructs part of the view. But you still get some fantastic views, to be sure! And none of us ever felt bothered in the slightest by the construction. Oh, and around the corner from the house is Serrano's Grill. For convenience one night, we opted to try it for dinner. We were completely surprised by the beautiful atmosphere, wonderful food & service, and stunning views. We'd highly suggest the Rib Eye Burger and the Short Ribs! All in all, we cannot wait to come back to Villa Gaeta!”

Our lovely very private, secure and accommodating OPEN-AIR concept home is located on a Puerto Vallarta Alta Vista hillside overlooking the Bay of Banderas and the famous symbolic crown of Our Lady of Guadalupe Church. We are conveniently located in close proximity to the local beach-- Los Muertos, and the old section of town--Basilio Badillo. A ten minute walk from our villa will place you in the heart of town to shop, dine in local restaurants, mingle in diverse neighborhoods, or enjoy night life along Puerto Vallarta's new Malecon stretch. Our staff is committed to having you as the focus of their attention throughout your stay at Villa Gaeta Mexico.

Villa Gaeta Mexico, with its Spanish Colonial appeal, has a breathtaking ocean and city view from the vantage point of every room. Each of the three bedrooms has a king-size bed canopied with mosquito netting, access to balcony and a full private bath. Wake-up or retire for the night to fresh air, bright sun, blue sky or moonlight. Rooms throughout the villa are traditionally decorated and designed for the comfort, and pleasure of our guests. Our OPEN-AIR dining area, OPEN-AIR kitchen, OPEN-AIR living room, OPEN-AIR plunging pool and deck with lounge chairs are all unencumbered by walls or windows. Our villa is truly romantic, well situated for honeymoons, families, friends and private small business retreats. Yes, we keep our guest in mind with every management decision. We aim to please from the time house staff greet guests directly from the airport to the day of departure.

Treat yourself to a real vacation and let us take care of you: we offer a full-time housekeeper to make-up beds and tidy up rooms, attend to your laundry needs and upon request Doria will cook an authentic gourmet Mexican dinner. Should anything go wrong with our property during your visit, our on-duty maintenance man is available to take care of the unexpected.

Awesome Villa
We were a group of four adults staying at Villa Gaeta. We loved the layout of the home and the open space kitchen/pool area was awesome. There was plenty of both sun and shade seating options by the pool. Bedrooms were all lovely with king sized beds and views. Staff and communication with house manager was excellent. Close walk to shops and restaurants.

Perfect Stay
We had an absolutely wonderful time at Villa Gaeta! It was immaculately clean upon arrival and maintained throughout the week. Doria’s breakfasts were amazing and a lovely start to each morning. The pool was great to return to every day and Mary was super helpful in arranging taxis for us. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend-better than expected!!

Beautiful Villa Overlooking Zona Romantica
Villa Gaeta was just as beautiful as advertised in the listing. The location was perfect and allowed us to easily walk back and forth from ZR. As other reviewers have stated, the hill back is no joke and we sometimes took a cab back at night. Mary was very helpful and was nice enough to get us some provisions to have on hand prior to our arrival. I would definitely stay here again.

A Week At Villa Gaeta
We have been coming to PV for 10 years and love the old town and getting into the neighborhoods, Villa Gaeta has a great location, and old PV-style open living. The beds were great, very clean, and maintained. The staff was exceptional. Be prepared to walk some stairs. We will be going back soon.

The villa was beautiful! Perfect for my little family! The staff was so nice to us. They made us feel at home. Can’t wait to go back! The only bad thing is the walk it’s to steep. If you’re in good shape you can walk but if not it’s better for you to Uber.

Beautiful Villa
Three generations of our family spent a week at Villa Gaeta and had a fantastic time. The property manager and staff were most helpful and the Villa was beautifully furnished and maintained. Location was perfect: Playa de los Muertos, many restaurants, and shopping in the Romantic Zine were all within walking distance. The pool was great, as was the view. Villa Gaeta was the perfect spot for a winter vacation!

Great Home Above Old Puerto Vallarta
This is a lovely 3 bedroom home in the hills overlooking the Pacific and old Puerto Vallarta. A 15 minute walk down steep hills brings to you to the center of old PV and the beaches, shops, and restaurants. The house has small circular pool perfect for a cooling dip after you daytime activities! The staff is terrific and will prepare breakfast or dinner, book a reservation, call a taxi, buy food. And all around great place to stay.

Great stay at Villa Gaeta
This is a great property. Three large bedrooms each with a king size bed and full bathroom. The bedrooms are all very large. The living areas were wonderful with a fully equipped kitchen, nice sized pool and sitting area. The villa is a short walk to the main area in Zona Romantica and a cheap Uber ride to anywhere. All of the staff were wonderful and made us feel welcome. Daily housekeeping and breakfast was a great perk that we all loved. I would highly recommend and we will stay here again when returning to Puerto Vallarta.

Our stay at Villa Gaeta
Clean, well located if one doesn't mind a steep 5 minute uphill walk from the Romantic Zone. Refreshing pool. Spacious bedrooms. Laundry. Well-equipped kitchen (no D/W). Lovely setting with killer view of old PV. Doria will make breakfast if you wish (for the cost of viands and taxi fare).

AmaIng villa, location can’t be beat and amazing staff. Mary Is the best and helped us tremendously when our plane was canceled due to weather and let us stay another night. She even arranged for a car to pick us up at 3 am to get to the airport the next day. Can’t say enough great things about the villa, people and PV in general. We will be back!!! Thank you!

Traveling Group from Chicago!
Our stay at Villa Gaeta was amazing! From the onset, we received a warm welcome from answering questions pre-arrival to our actual stay. The property and amenities are top notch. Upon arrival, Mary and Tony greeted us and walked us through the home and explained in great detail how to navigate the home and guidance on the surrounding area. The view from the main area is stunning, even with the condo building which obstructed the view (NOT the owners fault). The staff was friendly and extremely attentive. Having fresh breakfast in the morning is a very refreshing touch and is something we definitely enjoyed. (Thank you Doria, Tony, and Lalo!) Honestly, could not ask for better assistance with maintaining the upkeep. I would highly recommend staying here if you are traveling with family or large group of friends. This place is truly a gem.

I highly recommend this place
Mary and the rest of the staff were incredible. They made this staff extra special with the amount of detail, hard work, and care they put into the property and accommodating the guests. The property was beautiful. My 5 friends and I loved staying here. It had a beautiful view and we loved swimming in the pool whiling taking in that view. The location is pretty close to the bars and restaurants. We ubered mostly because we didn’t want to walk up the hill to get to the place but if you’re more physically fit, go for it! It was a little difficult to find initially but Mary was very communicative in helping us find the place when we go there. I would highly recommend anyone to stay at this place!

Heaven on earth...
It doesn't get much better than Villa Gaeta! The property is lovely and the staff was outstanding. Mary, the property manager and her staff made the entire process effortless. The property is so beautiful and comfortable, that the six of us wanted to spend all our time enjoying the Villa. It is convenient to old town PV with a bit of a hike downwards (and upwards). The view was gorgeous despite the new high-rise building blocking some of the original view. We especially enjoyed the private pool. Doria's delicious breakfasts each morning and dinner on our last night were to die for. All outstanding!!! We can't wait to return. The ONLY thing lacking was a hairdryer....

Beautiful private villa and property
We had a great week-long stay at Villa Gaeta with a group of friends. The property is beautiful and very well maintained. The three bedrooms and private baths were wonderful. It was great to lay in the sun by the pool and be able to jump in for a brisk dip to cool off. It's easily accessible to town or the beach by a quick walk (the walk back up the hill to the villa is a great work-out) or inexpensive cab ride. There is some noise in the morning when the trucks start driving up the hill and the roosters start crowing, but we got used to that pretty quick and it added to the charm of the location. The cook/cleaner prepared some wonderful breakfasts for us and the caretaker was helpful and a good host. We would also recommend Vista Grill, which is right next door for a delicious dinner, go at sunset or in the evening to watch the fireworks.
