Welcome to Quinta Encantada

For Halloween and several other times during 2011, I had the pleasure of staying at Casa Gregory. From the minute we arrived each time, we knew that we were in paradise.
Not only is the property beautiful in every respect, the staff was the most accommodating I have ever experienced in all of my travels. Typically when we visit Puerto Vallarta (usually 4-5 times per year), we go out to dinner every night and spend most of the day running around different parts of the City. Since discovering this amazing place, we rarely go out, since it is so beautiful at Casa Gregory, It is much more fun and enjoyable to entertain our friends at the condo, having barbecues, enjoying the private pool and of course the amazing sunsets and fireworks, I also had the amazing experience of meeting the property owners, Jerry and Barbara, who were both delightful. When americans like these two wonderful people buy property in Puerto Vallarta, Puerto Vallarta becomes an even better place for everyone.
I want to personally thank Humberto, the manager for being so instrumental to the pleasure we experieinced during each visit. He met us at the entrance when we
arrived and made himself available during the entire stay to ensure we were happy and had everything we needed. I left feeling as though I had made a new friend.
Whenever we plan a trip to Puerto Vallarta, we would never consider staying any place else… Why would we; everything we need is at Casa Gregory. I feel as though I have Finally found a place where I can truly relax and also have an exciting and fun time in surroundings that typify elegant beauty.

This is our 4th stay at this fabulous villa. The accommodations are exquisite decorated – elegant, yet comfortable with breathtaking views from every vista as well as every amenity. The location is perfect – secluded and set up on the mountainside, but a short walk to the beach and close to town for excellent dining and shopping. Beautiful sunsets with a panoramic view of the bay and mountains from the terraces. It doesn’t get any better than this. We can’t wait to go back!!!

I recently returned from a fabulous four week stay in Casa Carter and have nothing but wonderful things to say about the experience. The unit itself is lovely – large, open and furnished with both comfort and aesthetics in mind. It takes awhile to even focus on the interesting decor however, because of the spectacular views from almost every corner of the unit. It is truly breathtaking. The ocean and all of its magic – boats, whales, dolphins – is the first thing you will see in the morning and the last thing you will see at night. There is a large deck – the perfect place to wind down and enjoy Puerto Vallarta’s amazing sunsets. You can also see the downtown and enjoy the nightly 10pm fireworks that are short but colorful, and usually seen between 9:45 and 10:15. Casa Carter shares a lovely warm pool with Casa Gregory and it a delight to float in the perfect water and look at the ocean below. The only problem with all of this? It can be really hard to motivate yourself to leave the extreme comfort to go into town and enjoy all that Puerto Vallarta has to offer. However, when you do, the Romantic Zone with its many shops and restaurants is an easy walk – mostly downhill. Some people will opt for a cab for the uphill return and cabs are very inexpensive. The site manager, Humberto, does a wonderful job of keeping the property ship shape and helping out in any way he can. He met us at the airport, took us grocery shopping and was there for absolutely anything we needed. He is an exceptional person and will do everything in his power to assure you enjoy your stay. Anna the housekeeper does an excellent job, cleaning six days a week and even doing your laundry! And they do all this with such warmth and kindness. We were also fortunate enough to be there when the owners, Jerry and Barbara were in residence. They are very gracious hosts and do everything they can to assure you that you enjoy every moment of your vacation. I highly recommend any of the beautiful properties in Quinta Encantada and am already planning my next visit. It truly is a paradise!

Well where do I begin…We were very fortunate to have stayed in the penthouse and let me say that it was absolutely incredible and by far the best Villa we have ever stayed at. The views from the pool deck are without a doubt one of the best of the Bay of Banderas. It is absolutely fantastic how the private pool jets into the interior living area, truly one of a kind. The Villa is impeccably clean and furnished very professionally. Humberto who is the onsite manager goes out of his way to please, and Anna the housekeeper is so nice. They both make you feel like you are part of the family. The Villa is so open with glass doors and windows that allow for ocean breezes to flow through the living area. There is a flat screen TV in the family room with satellite TV, and to be honest we never watched any TV because we were so mesmerized by the spectacular views of the ocean and two other decks that open up to a lush garden area. The villa is located a short distance to Old Town Vallarta and a very reasonable taxi ride. Humberto arranged for taxi transportation on multiple occasions. The Villa is so beautiful you feel like you never want to leave. The penthouse is one of several other Villas which also appear to be quite nice, each having their own views of the bay. We truly look forward to a future stay at Quinta Encantada and the owners are very nice and professional. Adios ….will remember this trip for many years to come.

My wife and I stayed in Carter for the month of February. We couldn’t have asked for more. Incredible views, pool as warm as bathwater, convenient location, beautifully furnished. We have stayed in a number of places in PV in the past, but never anywhere close to the beauty and charm of Quinta Encantada.
Carter is the smallest of the units, but still quite large (1 bedroom, 2.5 baths) and airy, with wrap around windows and great ocean and sunset views. It’s probably the most private of the units. It’s about a 15 minute walk to the Romantic Zone, which we did every day. We often took a cab back for about $4 including tip when we were feeling lazy about the uphill walk back home. Being uphill has its advantages, though, with nice cool breezes as well as the great views. There is a full kitchen in each unit, which we used for making breakfast most mornings.
The on-site manager, Humberto, speaks English fluently and is very helpful and knowledgeable. Ana kept the unit clean every day, including doing our laundry. The owners, Barbara and Jerry, are there sometimes, and they are delightful, generous and interesting. We miss it already and will definitely return.

Let me start out by saying that our stay at Quinta Encantada was absolutely incredible. We were very fortunate to have stayed in the penthouse suite which was fantastic. It was right out of the series Life Styles of the Rich and Famous. The minute you walk into the unit you are in awe, especially when you see the pool jet into the living quarters. The villa is decorated very nicely and is immaculate. The view from the patio is fantastic and gives the impression that you are right on the ocean. Humberto and Ana are so nice, they make you feel like family. staying at the penthouse villa was a chance of a lifetime and we are still pinching ourselves to make sure we were really experiencing it. The other villas also looked incredible, each with their own spectacular view of the Bay of Banderas. Looking forward to a future stay, sometime in the future.

We just returned home from an extended vacation in Mexico. While in PV, we chose to stay at Casa Emily. It is a 3 bedroom villa/ condo that is part of Quinta Encantada. Quinta Encantada is a total of 5 villas all joined together. Each is amazingly beautiful! NOTE: The $2000/ per night is NOT per villa, maybe for all of Quinta Encantada?
Upon arrival, we were met by Humberto. He speaks perfect English and was very nice. He showed us all around our villa, then showed us the other villas that were open. Humberto stays on site and is full of helpful knowledge.
Casa Emily is massive, very very open with a huge balcony overlooking the bay. It is high on a hill in a very safe neighborhood. Our favorite part of staying here was sitting and listening to the ocean waves as a cool breeze blew through the home. You can see the entire bay!
There is a house keeper named Maria that keeps the home extremely clean and does all your laundry. (Put your clothes in the provided laundry baskets and she attends to them daily) She is absolutely wonderful!
The home comes with everything you could need. The kitchen is fully stocked. If there is anything you find you want, Humberto can help.
I found this home via a web search. I had never dealt with the owners previously. Barbara and Jerry are extremely nice, quick to answer questions and very professional in dealing with the home rental. We felt comfortable from day one working with them and would do so again any day!

We had an incredible relaxing honeymoon at Casa Samuel. The property is simply stunning — photos really can’t do it justice. It’s like staying in a tree house above the ocean. With your own private pool! You really feel like you’re living in the open air. My favorite part was waking every morning to take in the view of the ocean from bed (also, the sunsets were the most amazing I’ve ever seen in my life!) The house is a manageable 10-15 minute walk down the hill into town (and the beach) or a very easy cab ride down and back — we were pleasantly surprised that cabs were literally everywhere, very cheap and friendly. Humberto and anna, the house staff, were beyond accommodating and made us feel right at home. We hope to return again and again!

We recently returned from a two week stay at Villa Gregory and found it to be a wonderful experience. The villa itself is spacious and comfortable with many decorative touches that are a charmingly homey combination of Mexican traditiona/local folk/and street-vendor whimsical. And I’ll admit, except for long,early morning walks, very commonly the tantalising combination of large outdoor patio with an abundance of well-tended, beautiful plants, our own heated pool, gentle ocean breezes and absolutely spectacular ocean/city views kept us at the villa, at least until the heat of the day eased. The walk down to the beach or shops only takes about 10 to 15 minutes but I should mention, it’s not for someone who’s unsturdy on their feet. We’re all pretty fit, so we didn’t find it a problem, but we generally took a cab back if we’d made any substantial purchases. Fortunately, cabs are abundant and cheap. I’d also like to mention that our stay was delightful for more than just physical accomodations..there is also the human factor. Humberto, the property manager, was friendly, responsive and accommodating. Anna, the maid, always a gentle smile on her face in passing, worked quietly in the background to keep things clean and comfy. And a special thanks to the owners, Barbara and Gerry, who were at Quinta Encantada at the time of our stay. While I know it was just a rental, their gracious and welcoming behaviour truly made us feel like more than just walking cheques. And I admit, it is those human touches that have firmly fixed Quinta Encantada in our minds as accommodation of choice for any future visits to Puerto Vallarta.

This place is Great, full view from North to South, spectacular patio with private pool, full living room and dining room. The master has its own sitting area (large) with great views out the windows. Full staff including Humberto who can make whatever you need to happen, happen. Taxi, dinner reservations etc. First time P.V. visitors be aware of the road noise but that is not unusual for Mexico. Recommend Vallarta Eats for a fun dining experience, walking tour to four restaurants with food and drink included. Linda Mar for sunset margarita’s. I would go there again.

Best Vacation Ever! We stayed one week at the beautiful Quinta Encantada and cannot wait to return. Humberto was the most helpful, thoughtful guide you could ask for. He greeted us at the airport, took us to the market, and gave us great suggestions on restaurants. Anna was a dream; she kept the villa spotless and laundered out clothes daily. The estate is simply and elegantly decorated and the views are beautiful and breathtaking. We cannot wait to return!

This was our 5th visit to Quinta Encantada and each time we stay there it only gets better. The location and views of the bay and mountains are exquisite from every vantage point in the villa. The staff is wonderful and promptly addresses every need. The villa is magnificently furnished and well appointed with all possible amenities. It is an easy walk or drive to the beach and the local restaurants are fabulous. Staying here is truly paradise and we cannot wait to return!
