Amazing Views & home

We stayed at Villa Europa for 8 days and our stay there was amazing. This home has about 5 floors, with a pool & hot tub. The views of the city & ocean from the top floor were breathtaking! The neighborhood has delicious restraunts & cute coffee shops just walking distance. Claus was a very nice, welcoming, & attentive host. Thank you so much Claus for being an Amazing host at Villa Europa!

Amazing Spot! Great House, great Location, great Stay!

The house was fantastic. The owner greeted us personally after keeping track of our flight into PV. He explained how everything works, had a thorough folder with a lot of great suggestions, and clear instructions for the rental process. We would 100% choose the house again for any travels to PV where my family lives!

Wonderful property

We stayed at this property for 10 days in November 2023 and had a wonderful time. The property is large and beautiful and the location is fantastic. We walked to the beach, malecon and restaurants daily with ease. We felt safe and secure in the house and the neighbourhood. I highly recommend this property. Owners were wonderful to us.

We really enjoyed our stay at Villa Europa! The house was spotless when we arrived and Claus met us there, gave us the tour and then allowed us to settle in. The area is perfect, just far enough away from the action that it was quiet but still well within walking distance to the malecon, beach, restaurants and stores. We would definitely recommend this house and look forward to returning one day! Thanks Claus!

51 day stay

We enjoyed our time at Villa Europa. The location is great, with a large market just blocks away, and a fantastic restaurant across the road. The views from both upper and lower decks were wonderful and we enjoyed relaxing and watching the neighborhood activity. Also, most days we saw whales splashing in the bay mid afternoon. Claus is a wonderful host. He drove us to the house for our arrival and made sure we were comfortable. Any issues that arose during our stay were dealt with quickly. And, we appreciated the ride to the airport on our departure day.

Very nice family sized rental

Everything was clean and well stocked and everything functioned well for the duration of the trip. The host was very reachable and responsive. Some small restaurants and cafes and wine bars are popping up within really easy walking distance that adds to the convenience. Such a great alternative to the resorts and the overcrowded conditions the areas immediately around the resorts have to endure. But if that is your thing it’s just a few minutes walk to beach and all the beachside attractions. The decks lacked significant sunshine but that’s a time of year thing I’m sure it’s there much of the year just not January. The location near the top of the hill is a challenge for the walk back from the beaches. But it’s literally a couple hundred meters and obviously helps with the great views over the city and down towards the water. I’d recommend this large multi-ensuite family house with no reservation at all.

We really loved the house!

We loved the house!!!! Our very introverted son loved the ‘basement’ room, and we greatly enjoyed the layout and feel of the house!!! It could easily house 3 couples needing some privacy. Our only problem is that IF the power goes out … both the air conditioning and the water pump do not work. Our host said power outages were to be expected and in the dry season the lack of breeze combined with a power outage on 2 evenings made the house very uncomfortable. The power company did replace the transistor the day we left, and the host did offer a partial refund. But the last evening was pretty uncomfortable. Do seriously consider using taxis during your stay!!!! We rented a car as the villa has a garage, but aside from one day where we visited a few beaches, we could have used taxis and probably paid less for the week, and parking is not as available as in the US. (We live in a city with minimal public transport, and so I didn’t consider just using taxis when it would have worked fine for my family.) La Traviata had amazingly good pizza, and the very small convenience store on the same block was a life saver when we needed some aloe for excessive sun!

A Perfect Honeymoon – Romantic, Relaxing, and Absolutely Unforgettable

We spent two magical weeks at Claus’s stunning 3-bedroom villa in Puerto Vallarta for our honeymoon, and it truly exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, we felt like we had stepped into a private paradise. The villa is beautifully perched above the city, offering sweeping views and the most breathtaking sunsets we’ve ever seen—every single night felt like a dream.The house itself is immaculate, spacious, and thoughtfully designed. Each room was comfortable and inviting, with great air conditioning that kept us cool and relaxed throughout our stay. The private pool and hot tub were absolute highlights—we spent our mornings soaking up the sun and our evenings unwinding under the stars with a glass of wine in hand.Claus was a phenomenal host—warm, attentive, and incredibly helpful. Not only did he ensure everything was perfect during our stay, but he also went above and beyond afterward by helping us recover a bag we accidentally left in an Uber. He coordinated everything quickly and efficiently, which took a huge weight off our shoulders. I felt terrible that it took me longer than it should have to coordinate the return payment for his kindness, but Claus was nothing but gracious throughout the process.This villa gave us the most romantic and peaceful escape we could have

Holiday in Heaven

Our first time outside of Canada in 24 years ... could not have picked a better location The views from the property were spectacular and the property itself gave you options for socializing, relaxing or having quiet times. the pictures online do not give it justice simply amazing.the down side besides having to come home was the hill ..it is steep however Ubers are super inexpensive and the best way to negiotate that hill. Claus was super accomodating and can offer many upscales ie having catering provided and having some groceries delivered prior to our arrival. Highly recommend and we will be back...thanks to Claus for a wonderful experience.

First Trip to Puerto Vallerta

First trip into Mexico. House was as advertized; clean and spacious. Wife and I and (2) 18 year olds each had own room and bathroom. Pool was small but refreshing after a day in the sun. Two balconies allowed wife and daughter to tan. Neighborhood was fantastic with great restaurants and close to fruit and vegetable market. All of Claus' recommendations were spot on. Didn't have a car but walked everywhere and Uber'd to Old Town for a pittance compared to what we are used to. Will definately rent again if we decide to head back this way.

Another great stay

We had an absolutely incredible experience staying at this property. From the moment we arrived, everything was spotless, beautifully maintained, and exactly as described—if not better. The host went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable, with thoughtful touches that made a big difference. Communication was clear and responsive, and it truly felt like a home away from home. We’ve stayed here before and loved it, but this time was even more exceptional. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing and well-cared-for place to stay. We’ll definitely be back!

Amazing Stay! Thank you Claus!!

We had an amazing week at Claus' villa! The property was stunning, with breathtaking views, a large hot tub, and plenty of space for our group of 8. The 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms were perfect, and the air mattress on the top floor (which we requested) offered good privacy. Claus was an exceptional host—he warmly greeted us, gave a thorough house tour, and was highly responsive throughout our stay.The location was ideal—on a hill with panoramic views, yet just a short walk (under 10 minutes) to the beach. Many great restaurants were nearby, and we often strolled to Zona Romantica for dining and drinks. The villa offered a perfect mix of privacy and convenience, with a spacious garage (unused by us but great for those with cars).The pool was temporarily out of service, but maintenance was addressing it. The hot tub was lovely, though the hot water supply ran low when filling it or after 1-2 showers, so spacing out usage is recommended. The Wi-Fi, while covering all 4 levels, was occasionally inconsistent, so it may not suit heavy internet use.The weather was a highlight—we didn’t need AC. Opening doors during the day for fresh air and closing them at night made the house feel even more spacious and connected to the surroundings.Overall, we had a fantastic time and highly recommend Claus' villa for a spacious, comfortable, and scenic getaway. We’d definitely return—thanks, Claus, for being a wonderful host!

Castle on the hillside...

Excellent value with an incredible view! This property is ideal for larger groups or families, offering plenty of space and a beautiful setting. Its proximity to food, shopping, and the vibrant Malecon boardwalk is a major plus, making it convenient for exploring the area.We also appreciated the thoughtful provision of beach towels and toys for kids, which added to the overall convenience and enjoyment of our stay.Cleanliness could be improved. Upon arrival, we noticed that certain items, such as the clothes washing machine, required cleaning, as it was grimy. While the property is pet-friendly, ensuring that pet hair is thoroughly removed between guests would improve the overall experience.Maintenance issues were another challenge during our stay. We encountered several interruptions, including gas tank refills (which required multiple visits to bleed the lines), pool cleaning, a repair to the main water line, and a water supply issue with the dishwasher. Additionally, hot water was intermittent for the first three days. While the host responded quickly and efficiently to each problem, the frequency of these issues was disruptive, particularly for a short 5-night stay. Preemptive maintenance could help prevent similar occurrences for future guests.Pillows need replacing, as they are clumpy and uncomfortable. For light sleepers, earplugs are recommended, due to the nearby roosters, dogs, music, and general neighbourhood noise.

Beautiful house in a great location

My family and I were absolutely impressed by this property that includes a beautiful view over Puerto Vallarta, a swimming pool and even a Jacuzzi. The location is perfect because it is a walking distance from the beach, a fish market and great roof top restaurants. The owner went beyond expectations to make our stay confortable and had great recommendations for doing activities within and outside Puerto Vallarta. We hired a driver to go to San Pancho then Sayulita and it was the highlight of our stay. We highly recommend this property for a stay in Puerto Vallarta and around.

Family Vacation

Overall, our family enjoyed our stay very much! Claus is extremely kind and responsive! I will say, however, that we stayed for six (6) days while running the air conditioning (AC) minimally and still incurred an additional $150 USD expense for AC usage. One AC unit had to be serviced during our stay because it was leaking significantly. The morning of our checkout we had to visit an ATM to be able to pay the extra expense. I encourage anyone interested in staying at this property to inquire about specifics regarding the AC. Thank you, Claus!

Christmas in PV

We had a great time and fantastic Christmas at Villa Europa. Thank you, Claus, for meeting us and showing us around. We appreciated the Christmas tree and decorations throughout. Villa Europa location and view was amazing and for us the neighbourhood was perfect. The only negative was the hill, but that what made it unique and if you don't want to cook just across the street, there is an excellent restaurant called Tacoquila.Thanks, Claus, and looking forward to coming back again.
