Hacienda Patrizia’s Luxury Boutique Villa rental is situated 20 minutes away from the Puerto Vallarta airport.
Our villa is located in the friendly Lazaro Cardenas neighbourhood in Bucerias and is easily accessible by car, bus, and taxi. There are a number of reasons to book Puerto Vallarta beach house rentals, in Mexico.
BUCERIAS
Only 20 minutes north of Puerto Vallarta, Bucerias is nestled towards the north shore of Bahia de Banderas. Once considered a fishing village, it has become a home and favorite vacation spot to many that like the slighter, quieter side of life. Our Luxury Boutique Villa is known for its slower pace yet has all the amenities that one needs to get away, get spoiled or simply be part of the local culture. Bucerias’ 5-mile stretch of soft sandy beaches, cobblestone streets and heartwarming charm give you the feel of simpler times.
Some say (with a bit of nostalgia) that Puerto Vallarta was like this some 40 years ago. Founded in the 1930′s, Bucerias is now home to some 20,000 residents made up mostly of Spanish speaking Mexicans. Many from Canada and the US have also chosen to settle here. Our roads, many hand built – stone by stone! It’s amazing to see, it carries the old world feel. You walk on it and realize “this was built by hand”. You know you are experiencing Mexico when you see the town and how it was built.
Bucerias is on Central Standard Time (CST) and is the same time as Puerto Vallarta and the local airport!

Whale Watching
Whale watching tours are great fun for couples and families. Marine biologists usually guide the aquatic adventure tours and are talented at finding marine mammals such as humpback whales, gray whales, spinner dolphins, spotted dolphins, bottlenose dolphins, and sea lions. This is an ideal excursion for shutter bugs and nature enthusiasts.
Surfing
Puerto Vallarta & Riviera Nayarita are home to some of the best surfing spots in all of Mexico. Expect warm waters, gentle winds, and variety of surf breaks. Surfing is great fun and provides excellent physical exercise – ideal for both beginners and experts. Most tour companies will offer surfing lessons for beginners so you’ll feel confident and prepared to ride the tropical waves. If you’re an expert surfer craving some space, we recommend taking a boat to a secluded coastal area.
Paddle Surfing
Paddle surfing is an increasingly popular sport and offers a great workout and sight seeing. Participants often see dolphins, sea turtles, exotic tropical fish, and coastal birds. We highly recommend this Mexico activity because it doubles as a nature tour and exhila rating workout.
Sailing
Continue your relaxing vacation in Mexico by sailing on serene Bahia de Banderas waters. Marine life frequently can be seen from a boat when the motor is turned off– whales, dolphins, manta rays, tropical fish, and coastal birds are commonly spotted during sailing excursions.
Snorkeling

Golfing
Puerto Vallarta & Riviera Nayarita are home of several world-class golf courses in Mexico. Some of the world’s greatest architects designed golf courses here, often inspired by the stunning tropical back drop this amazing region has to offer.
Golf Courses in the surrounding area include:
Horseback Riding
Horseback riding tours and excursions can take place in the jungles of Puerto Vallarta, along the miles of pristine beaches, through small waterfalls, and even during the (romantic) sunset. Horseback riding is great for beginners and no previous riding experience is required.
Canopy Rope Tours
Zip-line adventures offer an action-packed day that combines the thrill of speed and tranquility. Canopy tours usually include a tour of Puerto Vallarta’s tropical jungle with an experienced guide. From there, participants will be led to a zip-line where they will then soar through the jungle canopy. Highest quality safety equipment is used during canopy rope tours so you will gently glide on a secure, steel cable while you enjoy breath taking views.
ATV’ing/Quading
ATV tours are a fast and furious way to explore the zone: jungles, beaches, rivers, villages, and botanical gardens. Tours range from short excursions to full day expeditions and can feature solo or coupled riding.
