Was a great house, perfect for our group of 7. Great pcean sunset views every night and a perfect location, walking distance to the beach and pretty much everything we needed!
Guy's property was a great fit for our group (6 adults, 2 young kiddos). The swimming pool was great for our kids, and nice to cool off in! The house itself was well stocked with everything we needed, especially the kitchen! The location was great, and surprisingly quiet given its location in Centro. Guy and Fidel were very easy to communicate with, and super flexible including on our checkout time, which was greatly appreciated! Overall this is a great property for big groups and worked very well for big families.
This property could not have been more perfect for our group. Rooms are very spacious and private. Gathering spaces were comfortable and relaxing. Location was incredible and everything was within walking distance. Highly recommend this property for an authentic PV experience. Melissa's, the restaurant next door, was wonderful. They even prepared us a feast with the fish some of our group caught. We all said it was the best meal we've ever had. Fidel was very helpful and easy to communicate with. A++++
We love Old Town PV! We’ve visited many times, but his was our first stay in the heart of Old Town and needed a big place for our sons, their brides, and two grandkids. Check-in was impossibly easy. First rate with Fidel (property manager) giving us a full tour and making himself available during our stay for some maintenance issues which he resolved. Communication with Fidel was easy, but you’ll need the WhatsApp app to reach him. We needed a high chair and pack/n-play forThe baby. Guy ensured both were on sight when we arrived, clean and new. The location is outstanding for its central location, but quite noisy, especially weekend evenings/nights. The main one-way road in town going north is just a hundred feet away. That makes bus and uber travel really convenient, but it also attracts loud late night cars and motorcycles racing and revving their engines. Also, on our first Saturday night, a local, rooftop outdoor club played techno music until 2am so loud that on the third floor we were awakened even with earplugs. It was only one night, so not bad. We asked Yadira to prepare one breakfast and one dinner during our stay. Both were outstanding meals. Yadira is a sweet lady. We were so blessed to have her spend time with our family. The home is wonderful! The decor, layout, and many beds/baths made for a comfortable stay. We visited in March so we were able to leave the many beautiful glass and iron doors open nearly 24 hours a day.We will be back! Thanks, Guy!
Beautiful place in the heart of downtown! Very well kept. Fidel and Yidara are awesome.

Perfect location!
We were a group of 7, and had perfect accommodations at Casa Romance Escondido! The house is close to the action in old Puerto Vallarta. Guy and Fidel were very kind. We would definitely stay here again, and highly recommend it!

Centro Puerto Vallarta Great Location
This house is loaded with charm and is situated in the downtown area. It is near the Malecon, restaurants and shopping and close to just about anything you would want or need. It has all the amenities for a large group and was a happy place for a large gathering.

Great Family Vacation
Our house was the perfect size for all 10 of us. We spent every evening watching the sun go down from the top level and it made for easy viewing of the fireworks when having small children who struggle to stay awake. The central location allowed for everyone to come and go as they pleased. Overall a lovely stay.

casa escondido
Stayed with friends for my 30th birthday week and we all loved it! Were really left alone to do our own thing which was nice. The hot pool was a bit of a let down but beyond that, the place was great and every amenity is provided.
The pictures don't do it justice. Everything in the house is great. The rooms are spacious with amazing views on the top floor. The host and the house manager were extremely helpful in making sure we had everything we needed and more. Location is central and we couldn't have asked for a better spot

Best vacation in years - loved the house, the location, and the service!!
From the beginning I knew it was going to be a great trip, because Guy made sure we had information to plan the trip in advance. He called to check on us several times and his staff was great, too. The house is beautiful, charming and the dipping pool is wonderful to come home to after a day at the beach or before going out in the evening! You can walk to so many fabulous restaurants, galleries, shops and sites that a week wasn't long enough! I can't wait to go back.

Great location, Perfect amenities
My spouse and I were down visiting with two other couples and Casa Romance Escondido was perfect for our needs. It was located in old town, but close to the romance district, which made all the best parts of Puerto Vallarta walkable. House was just what we needed, and could have accommodated more at least another couple. Everything was clean and Guy and Patricia are great hosts, calling several times to check in and make sure everything was as we needed it. I would not hesitate to go back!
We were impressed with the house overall. We were disappointed in the "pool". It was really just a big jacuzzi. AThe washer was not working and we had not been informed. We felt we had no privacy or security. Various folks walked in while we were staying there. The owner didn't see a problem with that when i spoke to him about it. They all seemed to have the key or code to the front door.
Perfect location. Not too far up the hill but far enough / up a dead end street that relatively quiet and close walking distance to the majority of the art galleries, lots of yummy restaurants, and the malecon.
Functional A/C in all bedrooms was a must. Comfy beds, beautiful space, the “cool tub” was also essential. The photos don’t do this place justice. Our group was thrilled with the house and would all stay here again.
Merci Guy!

Location, Location, Location
The best part of staying in the beautiful Casa Romance Escondido was being in the heart of it all. Two blocks from the center of the Malecon (boardwalk), steps away from Café Des Artistes (rated one of the best restaurants in Mexico), in the middle of participating art galleries for the Art Walk (Wednesday evenings) and right down the hill from the Mirador Cerro De La Cruz lookout where you can enjoy wonderful views - the climb is worth it!
The owner (Guy), Fidel and the housekeeper were all very kind and concerned that all our needs were met. Thank you!
This house was everything we dreamed of and the entire experience was so wonderful. Great communication from the host and Fedel. Melissa’s next door was fantastic. We also checked out their Cuban restaurant nearby. It was wonderful. Our only complaint was that the maid showed up before checkout at 9am while most of our group was still showering and packing. I know it’s high season so I understand that. Would love to spend another vacation in this home and highly recommend!

Beautiful home, pictures don't do it justice
What a fabulous home. Just returned from our stay there and it was magical. 2 1/2 blocks to the heart of the Malecon and nice beaches. A ten minute walk to old town. Cafe des Artistes, one if the top restaurants in Mexico, only 25 feet away. Which is also a handy refernce point to tell cab drivers, easier than the address. I can't say enough great things about the house and Guy himself who was also terrific. Spent tons of time on the rooftop terrace overlooking Banderas Bay sipping my morning coffee or a glass of wine at night.

We would come here again in a heartbeat.
We had a wonderful stay here with five siblings and our spouses. The Casa is centrally located several short blocks from the Malecon, with resraurants, bank, and all amenities nearby. The Casa itself is spectacular. Four spacious bedrooms with en suites, air conditioning, and king beds. Gorgeous view of the bay from the terrace. Lots of comfortable sitting space for socializing. A hot tub to relax in. There's maid service, and all necessities are supplied. Many green plants add to the decor. All in all, a fabulous stay. Thanks, Guy, for your hospitality.

WONDERFUL!
We had the pleasure to stay in this fabulous home for one week. There was ten of us and the house was so spacious we were very comfortable. The rooms were decorated so beautifully, the little things that were supplied were so appreciated. Bus and taxi service was almost at front door. We were a very short distance from the shoreline and enjoyed the walks through town.Very good restaurants close by, but a wonderful kitchen to cook in was used often. The pool was large enough to fit us all in and we had a great time relaxing, enjoying everyone's company. Hopefully the next time we travel to mexico we will have everything again that Guy's house offers!
Casa Romantica is just as pictured - beautiful! We went with our two grown kids and their partners, and the versatility of the space worked out so well. The bedrooms were super comfortable, and the first-floor common space was especially great. We also enjoyed sunsets on the deck. The host Guy De Mangeon, contacted us several times to see if we needed anything. His recommendations for restaurants and other specific requests were right on target. He is most helpful. Fidel, the house manager, also helped with questions or requests for tourist excursions. We love visiting Mexico, and when back to Puerto Vallarta, this is the place we will stay.

Beautiful downtown PV house with great rooftop views!
My husband and I recently stayed at Casa Romance Escondido for a pre-wedding gathering with our families. The house was clean and well-equipment for 7 adults. It's in a great location just a few blocks from the boardwalk, lots of restaurants and shopping. Fidel welcomed my family upon arrival and gladly answered our questions and gave us great tips for things to see around town. The background was perfect for family dinners followed by epic sunsets on the rooftop deck! One of the nights we were able to get dinner catered by Melissa's restaurant next door. The owners personally came to discuss menu options and pricing. Their food was delicious and the staff was very nice and professional. Next time we're in PV we will definitely consider staying here again.
