Local hardwoods, adobe bricks and handcrafted tiles make up the organic structure where period pieces of furniture alternate with artwork signed by renowned Mexican contemporary artists; where comfortable beds surrounded by gauzy mosquito nets are the best place to enjoy your early morning fruit and coffee (compliments of the house).

The villa consists of two buildings with two bedrooms and two well-appointed bathrooms each, separated by the swimming-pool area where the fifth bathroom is located.

The living room and dining area with an adjacent kitchen are located in the main building.

There is a private sundeck and the roof terrace with views of the river, the red-tile roofs of downtown Vallarta and the ocean.

Surrounded by lush tropical plants and the imposing shade of the fabulous 200-year old salate tree, the central patio is ideal for candlelit dinners and cocktail parties enhanced by the sound of the river rushing by.
