The house was a perfect fit for our family of four, with teenagers having their own rooms and bathrooms. We loved starting and ending each day in the beautiful blue pool, watching the sunrises and sunsets, the mountains, the ocean, and the city below. The hill up was a great workout which got easier as the week went by. There were lots of great little restaurants nearby, as well as a very short walk to the beach and an easily walkable Malecon and River Cuale area. Claus was a fantastic host and greeted us in person at the start and end of our trip. He was quick to attend to anything we needed help with. We will be recommending this location to our friends. The only thing that kept us from giving all five stars was dealing with some insects and other creatures. Seems pretty typical for the area- definitely not the fault of the homeowner.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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!

About the host

Host profile image
Welcome! My name is Claus with my son Davíd.
I came to Puerto Vallarta first in 1995 and I fell in love with this town and its people Iimmediately. In 1999 I moved from Germany to Puerto Vallarta to live here permanently in order to work as an architect and investor.
With my partner Eduardo Cruz Garcia, born in this wonderful city, I developed several condominium and house projects. We are proud of our Villa Europa and for sure you will love it.
I will assist you with our team wherever needed. If any questions arise during your stay, please be assured that we are proactive and will do everything possible to ensure that you have a fantastic stay here in our beautiful Puerto Vallarta.

Why they chose this property

In 2002 we bought the lot and finished the construction of this house in August 2003.
I have been the first foreigner at this Mexican neighborhood. Now we are surrounded by new or remodeled houses and condominiums, mostly owned by foreigners which brings a wonderful mix to this unique downtown location.
