Casa Castelli is a beautiful place, a perfect location close to the beach, with great views. Our host, Alejandra, was amazing. She helped us organize a family celebration, she was very detailed, organized, and helpful from the day I contacted her to the day we left the place. We had a chef service at the house, Roberto and Tony were amazing. The food, the presentations, the service, unbelievable. I highly recommend Alejandra and Casa Castelli. 5* on everything.

Overall, the place was amazing. Clean with all the amenities however the master bedroom did not have water through out the day on the last three days of our stay. The chef service is definitely worth it. The food that they made was amazing. I would do your own shopping though. We had a lot of things we didn’t use. The price we paid for our stay did not match the original price we were quoted for our stay. It cost us a grand more. It was our first time using VRBO but we’re not sure that we would do it again because of that.
Lots of stairs.

This house and the staff here were exceptional. Alejandra went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable, provided everything we asked for and more, and was so quick to respond to all of our needs. We happened to be at the house during the lockdown and she did everything should could to keep us informed and safe. She honestly felt like family after our stay. Everyone went above and beyond. The chef and server were amazing too. We had the fish tacos (delicious) and the enchiladas were the best I've ever had. The breakfast was also more than we expected! The house had everything we needed for a group of 10. The pool was clean, the beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

We loved our stay. Just some key points to point out. One set of keys. Made it very inconvenient for our group to split up. Also, you could not unlock from the inside! So if someone left and you were going to leave later and they locked you in. You weren't going anywhere. Huge safety issue. Now that I've said that. The house was great for our big group. Not so much for the littles and safety. Lots of stairs and keeps you working the booze out. Very clean! Showers and rooms were fantastic. The views were terrific. Would we return? Maybe.

But if you are going to have food bought for you I suggest buying the food yourself from Costco and having them pick it up for you. Alejandra is amazing and responds quickly. The views from the top room balcony is amazing.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at beautiful Casa Castelli!! After getting out luggage, we exited the airport to our transport to Casa Castelli. Our driver was very pleasant and got us there in no time. Upon arrival, we were greeted by Alejandra and the staff who made our vacation delightful!! All questions were answered and in no way did we ever feel they intruded on our privacy. The Casa is as beautiful as the pictures show. We did avail the services of the Chefs. The meals were delicious and the food was plentiful!! I wouldn’t have changed a thing!! Alejandra coordinated some trips and taxis for us. All in all I believe our family would give the house and staff a 10!

I planned my 70th birthday party to happen in Puerto Vallarta. It was a family affair with 12 adults and 3 grandchildren. To say I was happy would be a gross understatement. It was a fabulous trip! The location of Casa Castelli is beautiful. The jungle overlooking the sea. Perfection. The house is everything as advertised, and more. Six families had their own bedroom and supersized bathroom. The pool is excellent and well cared for. What stands out is the staff! The daytime house keepers were great. One hardly knows they are there. The chef staff was beyond wonderful. The food was plentiful and always delicious. Not one guest had a complaint!! Try to do that at a restaurant. They were friendly and accommodating. I really can’t say enough about them. Alejandra was our go to concierge for everything. She was available and super efficient. She organized our tours and answered any needs we had. She’s a gem. This property runs like a well oiled machine. A dream of a vacation.

Beautiful House, Amazing Staff!

This is our second time visiting Puerto Vallarta and this house was perfect. We were a group of 3 families (6 kids!) and we loved that the house was walking distance to the nearby beach. The house staff were so kind and friendly, and the meals provided by the chefs were truly delicious. They even made kid-friendly simpler meals for our little ones who are picky eaters. There was an issue with the pool heater, but Alejandra and the staff got it fixed for us right away. From there on - it was a relaxing and amazing trip. We will definitely be back!

We had an amazing time and opted for the additional services, including the chef and bartender. Alejandra was extremely helpful and catered to our needs, especially at the last minute when we decided to add on an excursion. The house is gorgeous and spacious. It allows for large groups to have their own space but yet has wonderful meeting areas where you can hangout or watch TV together. Our group has been traveling for over 16 years and this is a house we would come back to. Thanks again to the wonderful staff - Reyes, Roberto, Gris and Claudia.Bring cash!

This house and staff gave our group of 12 an amazing experience. We are a group of 6 couples that typically vacations together at an all-inclusive resort. We wanted to try something different this time and we are so happy we did. Alejandra helped us arrange the trip prior to our arrival, so once we landed, there was little to worry about. Alejandra arranged transportation, shopping list, stocking the house and chef services.Chef Robert and Tomas prepared the perfect meals for our group. Tony catered to our every want, drink and snacks thru out the day. The food and drinks were excellent, and abundant.Our rooms/bedding/and towels were cleaned daily. The two housekeepers were efficient and discrete, we rarely saw them. Mismaloya is a small town, there is one ATM, however it is in the resort that is only for guest use, bring cash. This is a very vertical house, lots of stairs and even more if you want to walk to the beach or town. We spent most of our days at the pool, which looks exactly like the picture.

Great house!

This house was exceptional! The on site staff was amazing, our house was cleaned daily and we never went without something we needed. The pool was cleaned daily and fresh pool towels put out. We were treated to margaritas and chips/salsa upon arrival and were given a full house tour. My only complaint is the listing says it’s 13 min from the airport and 20 min from the malecon which is not accurate. Mismaloyma Bay is about 45 min from the airport and 40 Min from downtown PV. Not a deal breaker with a view like that!

Family trip

This was a Christmas gift for two years to our family! Most felt it was the most beautiful place they had ever stayed! The outside space and pool were where we spent most of our time but the pool table also became quite popular. We didn’t have the staff because we really just wanted to be together as a family…we have good cooks but ended up eating lots of tacos from a stand and meals from the sea food restaurant just across the bridge. With a group of 12 keys were a bit of an issue and the stairs would have been an issue if our youngest granddaughter had been along. Wonderful time in a wonderful home with great views close to a great beach. Doesn’t get much better.

Exceptional Property

Villa Castelli is a fabulous property. The house is exceptionally clean and in good condition. Concierge Alejandra was very helpful and we had good experiences with the chef service, housekeeping, and other staff. The pool is heated and the patio is the perfect area for a large group to hang out. There were iguanas in the trees every day. The suites are well appointed and overall the home is comfortable. Walking to the store or to the beach area requires about 130 stairs at the property - good exercise! The house has an amazing view of the ocean but due to it's high position in a bay area it is very loud - road noise, waves, and music from the resort and beach across the street. Overall a great VRBO experience. Thank you!

Group Trip

The house and our stay was amazing! Perfect for a large group (we had 7). Everything was as described. She sunrise and sunset views are breath taking. The communication ahead of and during the stay was greatly appreciated. Ale and staff made the stay even better. Ismael, Danny, Carlos, and Mitzi were stellar! Meals were fantastic and they were above accommodation for restrictions and our picky eaters. The location is a good distance from the city center. About 45 min to the airport. So, plan accordingly. Utilize Ale to set up transportation. You can walk to the cab stand down the road but having a scheduled ride is worth it! It also saves you from walking down the steps. There are a LOT of stairs, if you have ability issues it’s something to be mindful of. Overall I would definitely stay again and be fine with not leaving the property.

TOP TIER!

Our stay at the Villa was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the stunning rooms, immaculate bathrooms, and beautifully designed common areas. The pool was a true highlight, offering a perfect oasis for relaxation and enjoyment.The chef and staff provided unparalleled customer service, attending to every detail with warmth and professionalism. Their dedication to ensuring a memorable experience was evident in every interaction. Communication was seamless and attentive, both before our arrival, throughout our stay, and even after we departed, making us feel truly valued as guests.This Villa provided the best vacation home experience we've ever had, contributing to what we can confidently say was our best vacation yet. One consideration for future guests is that the Villa may not be ideal for toddlers and smaller children due to the numerous steep steps. However, for families with older children or adult groups, it is an absolute paradise.Overall, we highly recommend the Villa for anyone seeking a luxurious and unforgettable getaway.

Views are gorgeous

We had an amazing time at Villa Castelli. The staff was amazing. The views are amazing. The location is in Mismaloya, the VRBO map showed the property north of PV, when we booked it. I looked it up on Google maps so I knew where it was but just FYI for those booking.The house set up is as follows (I didn't see this anywhere and it would have been helpful to know):Walk in from the road, when driving, primary bedroomdown one story to the main living area/pool and one bedroomDown one story to the game room, 2 bedrooms, and an extra bathroomDown another story to the last two remaining bedrooms.Then continuing down the 2 more flights of stairs, takes you to an outdoor staircase and then to the main road where you can go to the beach - massages, facials, manis/pedis, etc available on the beach for 30USD each.There is a taco stand that opens around 3pm that is great!The zoo is walking distance.From the main floor, there are about 90 steps to the bottom.The pool was heated to perfection.Housekeepers were great, they are there for a long time each day and somehow we rarely saw them, when we did we offered them food and snacks etc that we were preparing. They were very nice and helpful.The kitchen was very well stocked with cutting boards, blenders, coffee makers, knives, silverware. Probably one of the better stocked kitchens that we rented. We had everything we needed, we used their shopping services and it was worth every penny.Each bathroom had lotion, makeup remo

Simply Magical

Our family had a simply fantastic stay at Casa Castelli – we cannot say enough great things about it! Our wonderful concierge, Alejandra, made our trip very special. She took such a personal interest in making sure each person was taken care of and each excursion was perfect – it was incredible. Chef Ivan is an absolute treasure – he shows so much love and care with each and every meal. From a simple breakfast to an elaborate Christmas Eve feast – it was an honor to enjoy his food. We stayed with 12 people in the villa, and the entire place – from top to bottom – is spectacular. It is absolutely as great as the photos. The views are unforgettable from morning to night. There is a wonderful sound system throughout the upstairs that plays both inside and outside by the pool. Each bedroom has its own bathroom – with amazing bathtubs and showers! – and views of Mismaloya Bay and the jungle (including the iguanas) all around. It’s all kept very, very clean and there is plenty of space and privacy. You should be prepared that there are a lot of stairs in the house. It’s one of the reasons the house has so much privacy. The six bedrooms are spread out onto four different floors. The game room is a special feature that we got a lot of use out of. The pool and foosball tables are in great shape. The villa’s location is also unique. You can take the stairs all the way down to the main road below, so you can easily walk to the beach and Mismaloya town. We took easy boat trips from the bay to Los Arcos and Quimixto (highly suggest both!) Alle’s team at the villa were all charming and incredibly welcoming. Everyone works together as a team to pamper you and they all seem to genuinely enjoy each other. You won’t want to go home. We will certainly be back!
