Casa Contenta is located 5 minutes south of town, high up on a hillside looking down and out onto an expansive view of the ocean. The house is at the apex of Banderas Bay so the famous Vallarta sunsets are in front of your eyes every night. The Romantic Zone (Old Town) is within walking distance where there are cobblestone streets, quaint parks, gourmet restaurants, boutiques, numerous art galleries and a long boardwalk along the beach called the Malacon. There are many water sports such as banana boating, parasailing, great fishing and dinner cruises on the bay. You can attend a bullfight, visit Mismaloya where Night of the Iguana was filmed or see where Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton lived. The house is 30 minutes south of the airport.

Memorable Stay at Casa Contenta

ESK Las Vegas
Review Submitted: May 31, 2008 Date of Stay: May 2008
We have vacationed with two other couples annually for the past twelve years, staying exclusively in private rented homes. Our stay at Casa Contenta has to rank as our most memorable.

When we first stepped into the courtyard-patio entrance to Casa Contenta, our immediate reaction was “Wow”. The unique open design, the magnificent not to be forgotten views of the Pacific Ocean, Banderous Bay and mountains beyond and our unexpected greeting by Mercedes and Mauri with refreshing margaritas will remain vividly in our memories for a long time to come!

Casa Contenta is conveniently located close to town in an exclusive, yet seemingly “remote” location. From its unparallel views from almost everywhere within the home, to its spacious bedrooms and common areas, and its well coordinated furnishings Casa Contenta should be on every luxury vacationers' “Bucket List”.

An extremely relaxing home away from home!

Calie and Giles Santa Barbara, Ca.
Review Submitted: October 17, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
Our stay here at Casa Contenta was simply perfect! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by Mercedes and Mauri, who are the property manager and housekeeper. After our sticky hot ride from the airport, the first thing they did was put a frosty delicious margarita in our hand, accompanied by some freshly made salsa and chips. Mercedes was extremely helpful with gathering information and arranging side trips. Mauri was there daily to cater to our every need, and keep the house fresh and clean.

Exploring the city each day was a morning event, followed by crashing into our own private pool to float for an hour, cool off, and then relax and read or watch the amazing views and sunsets (from any place in the villa). Breakfast was a short walk down to the beach. Dinners were spent at some of the best restaurants. We highly recommend Trio, Hacienda Angel (especially on Friday night when they have an excellent Mariachi band), Michael's, or Maxamillian's. A great place for lunch is Joe Jack's Fish Shack, for the best Mojitos with Fish & Chips! If you love horseback riding, we suggest you try Rancho Capomo. It is a beautiful ranch up in the jungle, and the ride crosses the river several times before reaching the falls. The horses are in very good shape, well cared for and trained. Our trip there was one of the highlights of our time in Puerta Vallarta.

Casa Contenta is an oasis of beauty, relaxation and quiet surrender. Each room is simply lovely. We can't say enough to help one understand how you will feel from the moment you walk into the Villa and see the breath taking views. The hosts, Dianne and John, have created a quiet paradise that is worth experiencing! We want to thank John and Dianne for creating something so lovely, and Mercedes and Mauri for ensuring that we enjoyed each moment at the Casa. Best Wishes for a great time in Puerta Villarta! Calie and Giles

Great Vacation

-N- New York, NY
Review Submitted: August 12, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
A group of friends and I made the journey down to Puerto Vallarta for a long weekend and Casa Contenta was one of the highlights of our trip. Everything about the house is great, the views are awesome and the owners/staff are extremely helpful, accessible and pleasant to work with. The property is very well maintained, there is plenty of space and overall it's just an incredibly nice atmosphere.

The pool and deck are great for hanging out and cooking on the grill. It was easy to get into the city, which we did quite often - each time we called the taxi service, our cars would arrive in 5 minutes. We arranged breakfast to be cooked each morning, which was a great decision.

We really couldn't have asked for a better trip, or a better place to stay. I highly recommend Casa Contenta and I hope to return for another visit!

Review Submitted: March 19, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
What a lovely place! We stayed at Casa Contena for five wonderful days and nights. The house is lovely, tastefully furnished and very comfortable. The location was great and included free exercise walking up the hill! The pool is great for relaxing, but not really for swimming. We enjoyed just "floating" and watching the sunset'each night. Mauri was wonderful and takes beautiful care of the house. We paid extra for her to prepare breakfast and it was well worth it. We hired Lalo to prepare dinner and we loved it so much that we hired him for a second night and asked him to prepare the same meal! All, in all a great place.
