Villa Leonarda
5 Beautiful
Bedrooms
Gringo Gulch Area
One of the most historic homes in Puerto Vallarta, nestled on the banks of the Rio Cuale, shaded by the canopy of a 100 year old tree is the stately Villa Leonarda.
One of the great classic villas from
the jet set days of the 1960s, recently updated with an urbane sophisticated
style and
upscale art and furnishings.
The villa is tucked into a quaint Mexican neighborhood in a beautiful
river valley for an even more intimate cultural experience. Located in
the famous Gringo Gulch residential area of Old Town Puerto Vallarta,
Villa Leonarda is nestled on the banks of the Rio Cuale, a picturesque
river that meanders its way through the middle of down town.
A very historic home from the early days of Puerto Vallarta, designed
in the traditional hacienda style, with all rooms opening onto a large
central courtyard with heated pool and gardens. Kitchen and baths are
modernized while retaining the integrity of the original architecture.
Vintage handmade tiles and hardwoods are found throughout.
The decor is artistic and chic; antiques and unique period pieces are
mixed with imported furnishings and original paintings by famous artists,
all set against large palms and dramatic lighting. The ambience at night
is often described as “magical”.
The original owner was a famous clothing designer and close friends with
Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. Villa Leonarda was a celebrity hangout
during the 1960's and the mystique lives on; it is still a gathering
place for artists, writers, movie stars and intellectuals. Angelica Huston
and brother, Danny Huston, have attended VIP cocktails hosted at the
villa for the Puerto Vallarta Film Festival, following in the footsteps
of their famous director father, who used to play poker with friends
around the pool. Internationally acclaimed artist Alejandro Colunga and
photographer Gabriel Figueroa, Jr. are also frequent guests at the villa.
A
favorite gathering place for artists and celebrities since the 1960's,
Leonarda was a gathering place for Elizabeth
Taylor, Richard Burton and John Huston when they lived in Vallarta.
It is built in the classic hacienda style with all rooms opening onto
a large central
courtyard with heated pool and lush gardens. The Leonarda was recently
renovated to include modern baths and kitchen while retaining the old
world charm.
Beautiful
furnishings,
original artwork by well known artists and dramatic lighting produce
an incredible ambience at night. A truly magical, one of a kind great
classic
villas of Old Vallarta. If you like the Gringo Gulch area, then you
will love this property !
