the HISTORY
Little information as to the beginning of "Casa Ladera" can be found, only adding to its allure. It was discovered that construction began on the estate in the late 1950's and that it was completed in 1961. Villa Ladera was the 99th home to receive electricity in Puerto Vallarta. The neighbour behind, actress Connie Stevens, has overlooked Villa Ladera since the 1980s. Billionaire recluse Howard Hughes was known to sequester himself in Villa Ladera and it has been said that in the early 1960s, actor Rock Hudson himself fell in love with the home.

The gardens of Villa Ladera have been maturing for over 60 years. Mature palm trees, creeping vines, potted plants, flowers, ferns, bougainvillea, ginger plants, orchids, and many other exotic flowers and greenery intertwine and flow over multiple terraces, walkways and outdoor spaces. Uplighting throughout ensures that nighttime is as beautiful as the day. Butterflies, neon birds, green parakeets, dragonflies, hummingbirds, geckos and iguanas all call these gardens home.
