Perched on a bluff and completely hidden from the cobblestone lane below lies this luxurious and one-of-a-kind tropical oasis. One of the only compounds in downtown Puerto Vallarta, Villa Ladera and Casitas is perfectly located in the Zona Romantica area of Amapas, on the edge of Conchas Chinas. The estate boasts an impressive 11,000ft² of indoor/outdoor living spaces and cascades over four levels.
To this day, it remains true to its authentic Mexican heritage through its design and decor. A two year restoration project brought the property back in time to honour its original charm and essence, while adding in all the necessities of a modern rental. Extensive custom work throughout builds upon the rich details, robust heritage and welcoming spirit of this incredible estate. Villa Ladera and Casitas beautifully embodies the laid back, open air style of living that this world famous city is known for.
Three completely private and self-contained properties are woven in amongst meandering pathways and mature tropical gardens. Villa Ladera and Casitas can be rented individually, as a duo or a combined trio allowing for a exclusive use of the full compound.
The top two floors of the compound belong exclusively to Villa Ladera. Five large bedrooms (each with their own ensuite), outdoor powder room, large heated pool, great-room that opens on all sides with double height ceilings as well as an outdoor covered dining room ensures there is no shortage of space to spread out and relax. A large and continuous patio flows around the villa and seamlessly connects all the living areas with the lush gardens and stunning outdoor spaces. Villa Ladera is fully staffed and affords its guests the ultimate in indoor/outdoor living.
This delightful casita is hidden behind an enchanting curved wall and features the original wooden front door (refurbished from the late 1950's) that welcomes guests into the first of two private patios. The larger patio features a lovely heated plunge pool, outdoor shower and dining table for four... all surrounded by a wall of bamboo. The second patio is walled in by tropical plants and flowers and has a hammock. Casita Lozano truly offers the ultimate in indoor/outdoor living. This perfectly appointed residence offers everything you could need for a tropical getaway.
This cozy casita is tucked away in a quiet corner. It features a lush pathway that leads to two separate patios. The first with its own private plunge pool and bbq area. The second patio has an outdoor dining table for four and a romantic chandelier. Large iron and beveled glass accordion doors off this patio welcomes you into your apartment. A fully equipped kitchen ensures no shortage of space for peaceful morning coffees, evening dinners or simply relaxing in the tropical air. Casita Escondida is perfect for short or long term accommodations.
The property is located in the Amapas region which is perfectly situated in Zona Romantica. Exit Ladera's semi-circular driveway and turn left to wander up Santa Barbara Street. Turn right and meander down the cobblestone lane into old town. Or, simply cross the street and enjoy the bars and beach clubs of Almar Resort. A public staircase next to the resort guides you directly down to the gorgeous sands of Puerto Vallarta's world famous beach, Los Muertos.
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.
