Amazing!!

Eight of my close friends and I stayed here for my birthday at the end of March. Toni, the concierge, made sure everything we requested was there for us when we arrived. The location of the house makes for some beautiful sunsets looking out over the ocean. We couldn't have asked for a more enjoyable experience! I'd love to stay here again!

Incredible spacious villa with outstanding staff

A group of 10 of our friends stayed here for the past 5 days and it was incredible from start to finish. The villa is beautiful, comfortable, and clean. The staff greeted us with appetizers and the owner, Richard, even prepared and served us welcome cocktails himself and chatted with us. Tina, the cook, was phenomenal and accomodated two events in which we hosted a large group of 20-30 people for a pool party and then dinner. We had breakfast served every day, and while we could have asked them to serve either lunch or dinner as well, we often ate out. Highly recommend this location and would definitely stay here again !

Stay During December 27 - January 3rd

The concierge Toni was really bad. I had to contact VRBO a number of times to get check in information. The link she sent to get into the gate did not work and we had to be let into the gate by other people staying at the property. Once we had checked in she never once checked to see if anything was needed or if she could arrange any tours or messages. The WFI and and Tv was not available the entire 7 day stay. We were told that it was being worked on by the cable company but we never saw anyone on the property working on it. Only when we contacted VRBO did the owner Richard come by on the 2nd day to tell us it was being worked on. The surrounding properties all had WIFI and TV, just not this property. I had read the reviews and did notice that a lot of comments were made about the long, steep, narrow, winding driveway to the property. We did not have any family members with a disability so we did not think it would be an issue. Warning - some taxi cabs refused to drive up to the property due to this. The cook Tina was great, the meals she served were wonderful. This was the only reason I gave it any stars at all.

Good as a 3 bedroom with on suites with great location and a nice pool

The location of the home is excellent with great views and close to town but be warned that it is up a steep driveway that not every car can go up and is a challenging walk if you are not physically fit. The house has 3 true bedrooms that can count as master bedrooms, and an additional bedroom with an ensuite bathroom that is behind the laundry room and through another sleeping area. The additional bedroom with ensuite is not equivalent to the other 3 bedrooms. None of the rooms had shades and the general upkeep of some of the house could use better maintenance such as the grout in the showers, the jacuzzi tub in the main primary bedroom (hammering noise when the water was on), the in room safes (only in 3 of the rooms and operated with keys only) and some of the outdoor seating. The wifi was not reliable with more than a few devices on it at a time. The cleaning/maid services were very good and the home was kept clean with great laundry service. The chef service was not to our liking and thus we canceled it part way through the trip. There was drama with the owners around canceling the chef service that made us feel threatened and we are still working to resolve this.

Great Time at Villa Francisco

Villa Francisco is a fabulous place for a stay in Puerto Vallarta. We were there with a group of friends and everyone enjoyed the pool with gorgeous views and the top-notch accommodations. Best of all is the staff who are always available to take care of anything you might need. Transportation to and from the airport was arranged and handled perfectly. Chef Tina and her staff cooked us two fantastic dinners at the villa and wonderful breakfasts every morning. One comment I would make is that three of the bedrooms faced the ocean and were quite luxurious. The two bedrooms in the back were much smaller and shared a bathroom. This arrangement would be fine for kids but wasn't ideal for adults. The road up from the main highway is very steep and challenging on foot or even for some cars but it can be done and adds to the adventure.

Amazing experience!

Ten of us spent 5 nights here for our first time in PV and it was perfect! Large, well-kept, spacious rooms and living area, a big pool with ample outdoor space and outdoor bar, and great staff. Chef Tina cooked us delicious food every night and had no problem accommodating different dietary needs. The property was only a few minutes walk from the beach and into town (though down a very steep hill). Several of us got good massage treatments as well arranged through Tonie. We will definitely be back!

Amazing!

We rented all three of Richard's villas (Francisco, Sante Fe, Alta Vista) simultaneous for a large group and it could not have worked out any better. Richard, Tina, and Tonie greeted us with fresh margaritas and snacks upon check-in, gave us a tour of all the villas, and helped arrange all shopping and meals ahead of time. We did breakfast every day as a group and dinner every other night. Tina's food was amazing and the best meals we had all trip. We even had additional guests next door at Paramount Bay that Tina was able to accommodate for meals. I highly recommend a stay at any of the villas. Just give your taxi drivers some encouragement to go up the drive way and it should be no problem.

50th Birthday Celebration

This property is perfect in every way. There is simply no other way to describe it. Vacation rentals often have a feeling of neglect, or at least a lack of upkeep and maintenance, which I have always found a bit disappointed once seeing in person. Villa Francisco is absolutely 110% NOT that. It is beautifully appointed, with great attention to decor, quality and overall pride. The location is perfectly situated just above the heart of the romantic zone, and easily walkable down into town and the beach (up can be a bit tricky but is absolutely doable). Tonie, Tina and Richard go out of their way to make you feel at home, feed you well, provide plenty of beverages and snacks, and help with any and all arrangements needed during your stay. It was a very special time for a group of 10 celebrating my husband's 50th birthday and could not be more thankful for all the fun and relaxation we got. I sincerely wished we stayed longer, 5 days is just not long enough at all. We WILL be back!

Don’t think about. Just do it. Thank me later.

We booked this Villa for a vacation with two other couples. There was no wrestling for Rooms or drawing straws. Each room is incredible. What really sets this apart from other stays we have had is the staff. From the moment you get there, the owner Richard and the Chef, Tina and her staff immediately make you feel like you were personal friends of theirs and not just guests. All the fridges were stalked with your favorite beverages and it seemed like right when you pulled out a Fresca they put one back in its place. We never wanted for a thing. It was incredible. Bottomless guacamole.. oh my dear lord it was good. Something also to note is the setting. Next door to this property is a whole hillside jungle full of wildlife. It really felt like you were in a private retreat by itself back in the hills, yet you were 5-10 Minutes from the beach. Cabs and ubers were easy. We rented a Polaris razor for the week stay and that worked great. Everything about this stay was so wonderful. I am dreading being back at work and back in the snow of Eastern Washington. I can only think of my next return to Villa Francisco. Richard and Tina you are incredible people. We want you to know how lucky we felt to stay here and how your kindness meant the world to us. You are really what shines in the heart of this Villa. True gems!

Fantastic,Great Property & Super gracious hosts,could not have dreamt of anything better!!!

Our stay was over the top. Richard & Chef Tina were incredible, words can not describe how much they made us feel at home. All of the staff was super friendly & attentive to our every need. Toni was always available to assist with questions, about adventures etc. Chef Alex & Rueben were great & the food they prepared was way beyond our expectations. Better than any 5star restaurant you can find. Only thing is the 5th bedroom is not private, might be better listed as 4 bedroom that could sleep 10. We will definitely be back, we could have not asked for a better Vacation . Richard & Tina we miss you already, thank you again for everything

Simply perfect.

A stay here is absolute perfection. The Villa is beautiful and grand, huge living spaces where you can gather for drinks and food. The view is breathtaking and Los Muertos beach below is equally wonderful with a great atmosphere and food. But the 5 stars overwhelmingly goes to Tina and her team who cooked us breakfast every day and dinner most nights and surpassed our expectations, the most enormous mahi mahi, coconut prawns, fragrant rice served in coconut shells,refried beans, steak and chicken fajitas, fried plantain...the list goes on. Tina you have given us memories that will stay with us forever. We came all the way from London and we would do it again in a heartbeat. The Hammond Family

Dream destination

We are a family of 15 so we rented both Villa Francisco and Alta Vista, what a fantastic destination for a family to come together. The villas are a short walk to the beach and the wonderful old town of Puerto Vallarta. We had kids ranging from 11 to 25 and there was non stop joy for all of them. We had some wonderful trips we organized with Jimmy, a panga boat captain directly from our beach to see whales, a snorkeling trip and a trip to a beach south of us for lunch with freshly caught fish. We also did an Atv adventure we organized also through one of the local kiosks down at the beach Tina and her kitchen staff are fantastic , she can’t do enough to make your meals every day an extravaganza. The walk back is on a very steep incline but we all didn’t mind the well needed exercise. Our only negative was that the laundry is done by someone who is not familiar with splitting darks and light colors!! The villas are absolutely breathtaking and in an amazing location, there is no question we will be back.

Amazing property, true to pictures and exceptional staff

Our family enjoyed the entire week we were pampered by the staff of Villa Francisco from the moment we arrived. The property was just as described, very clean, comfortable and relaxing. We took advantage of superb homemade meals and excursions that were arranged upon request. Most of the trip was spent relaxing at the villa and enjoying the view and atmosphere. The walk to the beach and town was easy and safe. The villa is close to many shops and things to take in within Puerto Vallarta. If we chose to take a taxi/uber, it was arranged upon a text or call. There were 6 adults that stayed, and we all were impressed and would definitely recommend this property.

You're gonna Love it!!!

This Place is simply AMAZING… We searched far and wide for location, value and space to make our wedding dreams come true. Villa Francisco delivered…and so much more!! When we first stepped through the incredible glass doors to the house, we literally gasped. My first thought was “The pictures do NOT do this place justice.” I had far more than a thousand words as we walked into the main living area alone. The modern lines and tasteful contemporary furniture was just right for the space…not too much, yet enough to keep you finding something new and exciting in the decor every day. Flowing stairways and views of the ocean were only topped by the amazing pool with the infinity edge, where you can cool off both day and night and look out over the city (where we saw fireworks EVERY night below us). On our first day, the owner and his concierge were there to meet us to show us around. We (just two of us at the time) were treated to a Frozen Margarita and some chips while the staff was putting together our first meal of the week. The house was filled with wonderful scents…florals from outside, incredible spices inside, and starfruit almost within reach from a tree growing on the hill below. THIS IS HEAVEN. That heavenly theme played out every day for us. Our other guests arrived a few days later. They all expressed that they were equally impressed and quickly fell in love with the house, the wonderful staff, and Tina…our Chef. Tina was simply the star of our stay. She went out of her way to make sure that we were taken care of and that nothing was left as second rate. Accompanying her, was Alex (her young apprentice) and Juanita, the “do it all” queen of the house (because calling her anything else just doesn't cover everything she does for you...you'll understand if you find you need anything. Just ask her to get it). With a team like that, we were left to enjoy our time there without a care, or a single worry. On our wedding day, Tina led the staff in preparing everything: from seating and feeding over 30 people (including my mother...a chef herself) and creating an atmosphere that was both comfortable and festive. We couldn’t have been happier in the end. After while, we realized that this place wasn’t awesome because it LOOKS like a 5-Star Place…its because it’s staffed by 5-Star people: Friendly and caring. All of our friends and family were amazed by the place. You’re gonna LOVE IT!!! We Promise!!!!

Thank you Richard Toni and Tina and all the amazing staff at Villa Francisco ! We had the best family holiday because of your hospitality and thoughtfulness . A very easy house to relax in and all meals were taken care of efficiently and professionally by Tina Pablo and Alex . Our favourites were the fish and the Vietnamese dinners .. hard to have a favourite really . The Villa is situated just the right distance from the PV hub and beach . Toni organised 4 brilliant massage therapists with short notice and checked on our needs regularly throughout our stay . ( as did Richard ) Thanks for the welcome Margaritas and guacamole and great stories Richard !! Thanks also Richard for helping us out with your local knowledge .
