About this property

Romantic Zone, best location; with daily maid and cook service included!

  • Villa Leonarda is a riverfront property located at the heart of Puerto Vallarta in the artsy neighborhood known as Gringo Gulch, just a few blocks from the Romantic Zone and Playa Los Muertos. Local hardwoods, adobe bricks and handcrafted tiles make up the organic structure of the house where period pieces of furniture alternate with artwork signed by renowned Mexican contemporary artists.
    The Villa consists of two buildings one with 3 bedrooms and the other with two bedrooms, each with ensuite bathrooms, separated by the heated swimming-pool, and a large spacious central patio surrounded by lush tropical vegetation, enhanced by the sound of the river rushing by.

    It is ideal for sunbaths and pool parties during the day, and candlelit dinners and cocktail parties at night.
    A very historic home from the early days of Puerto Vallarta, designed in the traditional colonial style, with all rooms opening onto a huge central courtyard with heated pool, fountains and gardens that overlook river, mountain and jungle.
    Ocean views and sunsets can be enjoyed from the expansive rooftop terrace.
    Three foot thick stucco walls, arches, high ceilings, trestle doors, hacienda style wooden shutters, antique wrought iron and vintage handmade tiles are the distinctive design details of this century old master piece. The villa has been completely renovated in recent years; the bedrooms have air conditioning, kitchen and baths have been updated - all while retaining the integrity of the original architecture.
    The romantic bedrooms are hung with flowing mosquito netting; the decor is eclectic and chic. Antiques and unique period pieces are mixed with imported furnishings and original paintings by famous artists, all set against large palms and dramatic lighting. The ambiance at night is often described as “magical”.
    The original owner, Xavier de la Torre, was a famous clothing designer close friends with Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. Villa Leonarda was a celebrity hangout during the 1960’s and the mystique lives on; it is still a gathering place for artists, writers, movie stars and intellectuals. Angelica Huston and brother, Danny Huston, have attended VIP cocktails hosted at the villa for the Puerto Vallarta Film Festival, following in the footsteps of their famous director father, who used to play poker with friends around the pool. Internationally acclaimed artist Alejandro Colunga and photographer Gabriel Figueroa, Jr. are also frequent guests at the villa.


    Property includes:
    -5 bedrooms each equipped with A/C and ensuite bath
    -Huge central courtyard with heated pool, fountains and lush gardens
    -Chef services available upon request
    -Breathtaking views of river, mountain and jungle

    -Impressive art collection; designer furnishings and antiques
    - Charming staff with many years of experience
    - Wireless internet
    - Maid service daily except Sundays and holidays.
    - Great central location in the heart of Old Town Puerto Vallarta, within blocks of world class dinning, shopping and popular Los Muertos Beach. Three blocks to the Malecon boardwalk and main plaza.
    - Climbing Puerto Vallarta’s hills is not necessary at this villa; Leonarda is located on a flat street next to the Rio Cuale in the center of Old Town.
    - Kid friendly, few stairs
    -Rate includes cook service for breakfast or early lunch. Tips and cost of groceries and beverage are not included. A menu of traditional Mexican food is available for you to chose
