Rancho Poco a Poco is nestled comfortably within a private garden oasis of over an acre of land. The property holds two separate dwellings carefully designed with the concept of traditional Mexican hacienda meets contemporary craftsmen to create a safe harbor of tranquility in the middle of the tropical jungle; yet is situated only minutes away from the famous surf break and beaches of the bohemian village of Sayulita and the bustling good times of local restaurants, bars, and shopping mercados
The original Hacienda transports you back in time with the traditional red clay roof tiles over a long shaded veranda with exposed wooden beams as seen in the days of old colonial Mexico. The covered outdoor kitchen is fully equipped for group meal preparations or optional chef-prepared dinners on-site which will be shared at the antique wooden communal dining table under the veranda equipped with numerous ceiling fans. The open-air living space adjacent to the dining area offers plenty of comfortable seating to allow time to enjoy the ambiance of the garden views while indulging in conversation and sipping specialty tequilas and mezcals as sampled by ¨catadores¨ or expert tasters as requested.
The bedrooms of the Hacienda consist of four large and spacious rooms each with its own separate entry and private bathroom. The first bedroom has two individual beds that can easily convert into a king-size bed as needed. Adjacent to this first bedroom is another bright and open sleeping space that contains a bunk bed with both a double and twin size mattress where a set of french glass doors open up to fresh air and a walkway past a garden of colorful bougainvilleas and a seasonal flowing creek where the occasional donkey may walk by. The brightly lit and ventilated bathroom is decorated with custom-designed concrete tiles from a family-owned business in Guadalajara, Jalisco that dates back to 1905.
The remaining three bedrooms are all large and spacious with a similar set up of two individual beds per room that easily convert to king-size beds if desired. Each room is complemented by a unique perspective of the local flora and fauna with custom-designed abstract art wall murals. The collection of bedding, plants, and artwork as collected across Mexico combine together to create a distinctive feel that you won't find anywhere else. The bathrooms have ample space and are bright and airy; each complimented with cheerful Mexican tilework and windows that open to the fresh air and passing arroyo. Each bedroom is fully accommodated with air conditioning, black-out blinds, and wi-fi access, and all are situated to look out onto the open garden space from the large windows providing a cozy and comfortable space to rest, relax and rejuvenate.
The second dwelling on the property which we call the villa was recently completed in its construction in 2018. It presents with a modest and modern zen atmosphere having all the comforts of a well-appointed home. No details were overlooked in the design of this peaceful space which can comfortably accommodate six people with plenty of room to spread out in the spaces provided by the adjacent yoga studio/greenery room along with the lounge zone complimented by two custom designed sleeping daybeds set off the kitchen space.
Two of the master suites are located on the second level of the villa and hold king-size beds complemented by hand-picked bedding and textiles from Oaxaca and artwork from numerous regions of Mexico all of which bring the rooms to life and remind you of the beautiful culture that is Mexico. The third master suite is located at garden level and also features a king-sized bed with all of the same customized design features of quality bedding and artwork throughout to allow for the feeling of being comfortably nurtured in your home away from home.
Additionally, each suite has its own spacious bathroom complimented by the same one-of-a-kind specialty tiles from Guadalajara and are equipped with on-demand hot water so that you can enjoy a luscious shower after your ocean swim. Bright, airy, and open to compliment the tropical environment of the jungle.
The kitchen of the villa is a home cook's dream come true providing all the essentials with full-size appliances which are not often found in vacation rentals and spectacular views of the surrounding jungle as you chop veggies while standing next to the granite countertops. Of course, if you would prefer to have someone do the cooking for you, there is also the option of bringing in a private chef to prepare delicious meals ranging from Mexican/Asian fusion to Italian to Vegetarian and beyond while you kick back on the ample deck adjacent to the kitchen and enjoy taking life slow under the beautiful shade trees listening to the birds chirp in the distance.
If you happen to be traveling as a work retreat and would like to show a media presentation or are just simply interested in having a space where you can relax with the AC and a good movie, a ¨secret pathway off the side of the kitchen will lead you to a cozy media room where you can tuck away from the day and watch Netflix to your heart´s content on the comfortable leather couch and big fluffy beanbag. There is also a desktop computer available for a quick log-in.
And finally, as you continue out of the media room and walk down the set of stairs down to the ground level, you will find yourself next to the water fountain which plays the background musical subtleties of cascading water for the bodywork and treatment room setup to accommodate massage and a variety of health and healing modalities as brought to you by highly skilled professionals of the Sayulita community as requested.
A beautiful experience awaits you at Rancho Poco a Poco, where little by little, you relax into the slow pace of life and enjoy the beauty of the natural elements that surround you. We are more than happy to help you experience an adventure like never before including the sacred ceremony of a shaman led temazcal or a ¨sweatlodge¨ as they are known in the United States, help organize and incorporate guided tours of the plethora of amazing hikes and natural treasures that surround the vicinity, connect you with fishing and whale watching tours and more. Please feel free to reach out with any questions and we look forward to helping you make this vacation an amazing experience not to be forgotten.
