Guest access

Parking and drop-offs Guests can drive up to the house to drop off luggage. While parking isn’t allowed in the alley, street parking is available nearby on adjacent streets. Guests and friends have never had an issue with their cars.
The neighborhood

Villa Amistad is located in El Cerro, one of Puerto Vallarta’s original hillside neighborhoods overlooking Banderas Bay. Our small cobblestone alley is home to long-time Mexican families, many single middle-aged to older women, and a few gay men — a close-knit
community where neighbors know each other and look out for one another. It feels authentic, lived-in, and safe. Guests love staying here because they can enjoy the energy of the city, then return to a peaceful, local neighborhood that still feels genuinely
Mexican.
Getting around

The Romantic Zone, Centro, and 5 de Diciembre neighborhoods are all within walking distance—most places are 5–25 minutes away on foot. The hill up to the villa is moderate; guests who prefer not to walk are welcome to use the many Ubers and taxis readily available
and affordable in this area. Local buses run along the main roads below and cost 10 pesos (exact change required). Parking is not allowed on Arroyo del Pedregoso, but free street parking is available on nearby streets.
Other things to note

Concierge Services Our local concierge, Faby, can help arrange airport transfers, private drivers, chefs, grocery delivery, tours, restaurant reservations, beach setups, and more. Full details and booking options are available in your digital guidebook. Families
Families with children are welcome, but please note the villa is not childproof. There is an unfenced pool, open stairs, low railings, and breakable artwork and pottery. No children’s furniture or toys are provided. We encourage parents to reach out before
booking if they have questions to ensure the villa is a good fit.
Interaction with guests

Personalized Hospitality We live onsite in private apartments, so we’re nearby if you need anything—without intruding on your privacy. You may see us around helping staff or maintaining the villa; occasionally we use the shared spaces, but only when they’re
unoccupied and always with guest comfort in mind. We're here to help as much or as little as you’d like—whether that’s answering questions, offering local tips, or simply ensuring your stay is smooth and relaxing.
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchenette and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and a safe. Limited housekeeping is available.
