Casa Madina was just remodeled, including a new covered rooftop deck, that takes the view from beautiful to stunning. From the new deck, you see all of Old Town and Centro, including the Parish of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Great for the catching the nightly fireworks, or city lights or the beautiful Banderas Bay.

A cozy studio at the top of Alta Vista is yours to enjoy in this traditional styled home. Private entrance, well appointed kitchenette, large bathroom with open shower and closet with shelves and hangers. The main room has a queen sized bed, a loveseat seating area and a table with 2 chairs for dining or catching up on emails, 40" TV, WiFi, microwave, stove/oven, coffee maker, toaster, ceiling fan and A/C.

At the end of the day, head up to the rooftop terrace and solar heated soaking pool (shared with guests of Casa Madina). With fabulous views of the bay and the Zona Romantica, you can dine outside, enjoy a drink or relax in the pool.

Due to the increasing fees from VRBO (including CC fees), we have had to change to a single payment. Sorry for any confusion or for the impact as we try to manage the increasing fees from VRBO.

Located walking distance to restaurants, shops, bars (5+ min) and beaches (~20 min) in Old Town.

All guests (Casa and Casita) will have access to the rooftop terrace and Rooftop Pool. The views of the bay and the Zona Romantica are very relaxing.

Casita Madina is in Alta Vista in a quiet, residential Mexican neighborhood. Located at the top of a hill (which gives us great views, but does require walking up some hilly roads or a long set of stairs - or a taxi), there is little traffic. The neighbors are very friendly and some speak English.

Some neighbors have dogs, who love to come visit at Casita Madina. Please don't let them in, but also please be friendly. They are all friendly dogs and help watch out for the house.

There are also several stray cats in the neighborhood, many of whom like to sunbathe on our rooftop terrace. We have citronella spray to help keep them away. You can spray it anywhere the cats gather and they should stay away.

First-timers to Puerto Vallarta come for the sun, sea and fun, but soon discover the fantastic restaurants that keep them coming back.
