Luisa and Paul were great hosts. They were resourceful and shared wonderful stories and information about the area. Villa Maria Bed and Breakfast offers a charming and welcoming stay, combining comfort with a personal touch. The rooms are clean, cozy, and thoughtfully decorated, creating a homely atmosphere.

The neighborhood dog barks 70% of the time when we are in our room. Another improvement is the Wi-Fi available in the suite. The Wi-Fi has a weak signal, and sometimes, there is no Wi-Fi during the evening.

The villa is exceptionally well designed to capture the sea breezes, meaning it’s a joy to sleep without air conditioning and without glass in the doors and windows, just very effective insect screens and ceiling fans.. It also means you hear the surf on Bacacho beach, which is gorgeous, and are woken to the sound of mynah birds chatting with Paco, the family parrot. The beds were very comfortable, the pool and gardens lovely to spend time in and the breakfasts were exceptional. A major plus is the house has its own water treatment and filter system making it safe to drink - a rarity in Mexico and a joy not to be lugging bottled water back home. The location is good and it’s not too far to walk to the trendy restaurants and to the beach club. Taxis are cheap, plentiful, easy and safe if you don’t fancy the walk. Having said all of this, the huge plus for us was the joy of spending time with the family. Paul and Louisa made us so welcome and their local knowledge helped us enjoy PE to the full. We feel so lucky to have found them and really privileged to have had the opportunity to stay with them.

Nada!

Breakfast was excellent. Paul and Luisa treat their guests like family. We enjoyed the fresh food and great conversations each day. We felt like family by the time we left.

Walking is sometimes difficult in Puerto Escondido due to construction and sidewalks that are not always in good condition. We rented a car and that worked out very well.

It was in a great location. We loved the local restaurants and beach. It was easy to get to the main town. The house is stunning and beautifully designed. The breakfasts were delicious and Paul couldn’t have been more welcoming and helpful. We loved having a go at Pickle ball! We really enjoyed our stay at Villa Maria bnb and would recommend.

Unfortunately there was some building work going on opposite the house which started early and was very noisy. One of the rooms was pretty open to the elements and so was noisier and lighter than the other rooms.

Spacious and comfortable room in a well designed and laid out house. Paul is a great host who is welcoming and knowledgeable about the area. He cooks a lovely breakfast, gave us great restaurant recommendations and dropped us to the airport when leaving.

Puerto is growing fast and as a result there is a lot of building in the area which was very loud on a couple of days. Villa María is Paul’s home and workplace as opposed to a dedicated rental or hotel, so we didn’t spend our time at pool at the property during the day, which I would have preferred to do on some days.

Garden setting with good size pool and nice lounge areas. Hearing the ocean in the distance at night. Spacious quarters. Plenty hot water supply in bathroom area. Comfortable bed.

Residential location a bit remote, approx 30 plus minutes walking distance to many popular areas. Limited breakfast. Daytime adjacent construction everyday.

Incredible experience, the owners were really kind and attentive, every morning they prepared delicious breakfasts for us and gave us advice on what to visit. the structure is beautiful, immersed in silence and peace, a true tropical villa.

Everything perfect, I only recommend renting a vehicle because the structure is about 15 minutes away by car from La Punta

Great family. Very welcoming and such a cool way to stay in a place and get to know more about an area. Hosts were kind and flexible. pickle ball courts were great with shade cover and lights. Short walk to beach.

not much. a bit of construction around area but that is the way things are… didn’t bother us

Hypoallergenic bedding, comfortable real king sized bed, pickle ball court, pool, landscaping with amazing breakfast made by wonderful hosts.

While some places are within a 5 minute walk as noted in other reviews, most places are at least a 15 min walk away.

Luisa and Paul were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was fantastic! We had organic homemade German bread from one of the locals with eggs and fruit. The next day an amazing cold smoked fish sandwich from Paul’s smoke house! The rooms were cool the perfect temperature and comfortable. Everything is designed to keep you cool. My only complaint is we did not stay long enough because they book up quickly!
