About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Entire house/ Private POOL/5 bed/5 full bath/ / Awarded #1 renovation by city

We are taking extreme care of this property with respect to cleaning. We can also offer additional services such as grocery shopping , anything to add to a safe and enjoyable stay.

A renewed old mexican villa that dates from the 19th century, unlike anything you have stayed in before, or perhaps even have seen. The house is an architectural jewel that won first place for renovation in the entire city of Guadalajara 2015, award presented by Mayor of the city.
The price is for entire property, exclusive use, 5 bedrooms, each with large, private bath.
PLEASE NOTE that I do not rent the house for PHOTOGRAPHY or film work unless you rent the house for the minimum days. That is, please do not send an inquiry asking to use the house for a few hours or a day, thank you.

This a unique residence featuring spacious guest rooms with modern elements that provide a feeling of hip and chic to comfortably elegant.
Extensive renovations have been made to plumbing and electrical along with new, private bathrooms containing granite counter tops. Originally everything was built around the center courtyard and that's how it appears today, providing an interior view you have unlikely seen in any other house. Palacete is one of Guadalajara's premier residences, recognized in 2015 for number one restoration in the city and for its stunning architecture ( additional articles can be found online ).

The neighborhood is blue collar with repair shops but very much alive and once inside the house, it is quiet and peaceful. Just relax after your daily adventures and enjoy the pool or a cocktail. The property has five available bedrooms each with private, modern baths, a beautiful kitchen, and of course, the pool. Even if you are traveling with a group, the house offers enough space, ranging from the separated kitchen to the dining area, courtyard, and backyard with pool.

My partner was born in Guadalajara and i have lived in Mexico since late 2008. Our goal is to provide as much expertise about the city that you will need.

Palacete is located near downtown and other areas such as chapultepec where you will find nightlife and restaurants ranging from high-energy to more relaxed. There is a taxi stand just around the corner from the house, just in front of the mexicaltzingo church, and limited parking options if you choose to rent a car. I strongly recommend that you use UBER for your transportation as it’s extremely affordable.
If you are not familiar with the city, you will find that it has a young and vibrant feeling where you can meet interesting locals and foreigners that will show you a warm smile, making your stay in guadalajara a cultural event.
The climate is typically spring-like, never humid, but almost always sunny. If you live in mexico or just visiting, the villa will offer a safe and authentic experience.
During your stay at this villa, you're just a quick walk from Teatro Diana. You'll find features such as laundry facilities. The villa offers free WiFi and a private pool.
  • The villa offers a private pool, a kitchen and a washing machine
  • Free WiFi
  • Amenities include laundry facilities
  • Just a 2-minute drive from Avienda Chapultepec and a few minutes from Guadalajara Cathedral
As a guest of Entire house/ Private POOL/5 bed/5 full bath/ / Awarded #1 renovation by city, you'll find a garden and laundry facilities. The front desk is open around the clock.

This Guadalajara villa is smoke free.

Incredible historic home, live like royalty!

"The Palace" is a fitting name for this incredible historic home. Could feel the stories this building had experienced over the last century - amazing bedrooms, the 'great hall' (we called it) felt like staying in a grand resort hotel... except we had the entire hotel all to ourselves. Plenty of space to spread out, the 5 large bedrooms were perfect for our family getaway. Quiet, lovely neighborhood with a market 100m away and street food vendors on the park plaza next door every evening. Just a 20 minute walk to centro historico downtown Guadalajara, even a Walmart within half-mile in case you needed to shop for food/drink or anything else. Communication with the host was excellent, very hospitable and welcoming. Would absolutely stay again, highly recommend! You'd be challenged to find anything remotely like this house anywhere else in Guadalajara.

Fantastic place to stay

The house is fantastic. People couldn't believe the photos we were sharing. Fantastic artwork, and the caretaker José Angelo was very helpful (but not an English speaker). About 15 minutes walk to tourist sights and restaurants. Can be a bit noisy in the 2 rooms on the front of the house. Would definitely like to stay here again!

Details Details Details

This is a rather large nice house with 5 bedrooms and 5 baths and a pool. However, it could be outstanding with attention to the details. I wasn't aware that only 1 bedroom out of 5 had AC, other bedrooms had only a fan. The bedroom downstairs closest to the road is quite noisy at night and in the early morning. There was a rather strong odor of sewer gas in all of the bathrooms which was a surprise. The mattress of bedroom #2 upstairs was super stiff/hard and hurt my back. The towels and hand towels were air dried which made them rather stiff / hard. The owner was very accommodating and replied quickly to any requests but it would be great if he would invest in AC in the bedrooms or quieter fans. The upstairs bedrooms would be unusable in the heat of June to September even with fans. It's a beautiful property that could truly shine with attention to details.

Guadalajara 1/2022

This house is the best kept secret in Guadalajara. It's a very old home that has been renovated and it was like staying in a home from the 1800s (with modern updates) Very spacious kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms, and living spaces. It's in downtown Guadalajara minutes away from Tlaquepaque and Tonala. Taxi stand 1/2 block away. Angel and Andrea the property managers were very accommodating. We felt very safe being in the middle of downtown businesses. Everyone was very respectful. Thank you for sharing this historical house with us.

This house is in a wonderful convenient location! We really enjoyed the pool and the spacious kitchen. We had a huge storm on the evening of our arrival and had a few inconveniences but thanks to Jose he was very attentive and came to our needs as fast as he could! The city streets where flooded but that didn't stop Jose! Thank you so much Jose for making us feel comfortable and safe! We will definitely bring our friends and family back!

The house is picturesque and the rooms are very comfortable. We enjoyed the pool and the location was close to a taxi station, church, a nice Mercado and walking distance to a very good fish taco place called Fish Tacos La Paz. We enjoyed the convenience of having Angel - the groundskeeper - stock the fridge with a list of groceries we requested for a small fee as we were arriving late at at night. Angel was friendly and explained the history of the house to us. The owner messaged quickly and was very professional. We will definitely book again!

Impressive

The house is beautiful and comfortable. It was clean and the property manager was very helpful. The location is good, but Guadalajara is huge and traffic is such that it took 30 minutes plus to get anywhere in a car. The Mexicaltzingo Mercado ( 1/2 block away) was a wonderful place for finding fresh food and good breakfasts!

Gorgeous historic home

From beginning to end we completely enjoyed our experience with booking this home for part of our honeymoon. Rob the owner is very prompt, kind and professional. Angel the keeper of the grounds was incredibly nice, informative and accommodating. The pictures listed are beautiful but you truly have to walk into this home to experience the grandeur this home has to offer. The history mixed with the exquisite interior design adds to the overall experience of living like a king in a beautiful city like Guadalajara. The amenities such as pool, laundry and a/c were huge perks with this property. Even though you are right in the heart of a busy city the house remained calm, and quiet. I would strongly suggest staying here over any hotel that GDL has to offer. I look forward to booking this house again in the future!

Great place

This property was a wonderful place to experience Guadalajara. Close to Centro and four blocks from the light rail line. The pool was a great place to relax after sightseeing. The support was outstanding by a local couple who cooked nice meals (twice for a small price) and made sure things were going well. A great ice cream place on the corner just steps away.

Beautiful home, great location!

We had a wonderful week long family vacation at this beautiful Villa! Angel, the caretaker of the home, was awesome. We arrived around 9:00pm on a Friday night and he was so patient and welcoming when we arrived. He took his time to walk us around the home and show us everything. He even walked us outside to show us where the closest store was so we could pick up a few things for the morning. The home is beautiful and well maintained. There were 10 of us and we had plenty of space with the 5 bedrooms and 5 full baths in every room. The kitchen was well equipped and Angel made sure we had enough bottled water the entire week. The weather was beautiful in the evenings and hot during the day(85-90). There are two bedrooms upstairs and three downstairs. My husband and I and my two daughters stayed in the rooms upstairs. My only recommendation would be to add air conditioning units in all the bedrooms or at least the two upstairs. I felt like it got hot up there but they did have fans in all the rooms which was helpful. The pool and the garden in the back was beautiful and the kids really enjoyed it! The neighborhood around the home is great. I felt completely safe walking around at any time. There is an amazing Mercado around the corner where you can buy fresh produce, meat, tortillas and even prepared food. There is a small park across the street and every evening there were street vendors serving tortas, tacos, tostadas and even hamburgers. The food at the street vendors was some of the best we had our entire stay! There's also a great little coffee shop around the block called Cafe Galeano. The coffee was delicious and it was such a cute little place! Also, there was an ice cream place right on the corner which we couldn't resist going to every night because it was so delicious! The home is walking distance to a lot of places but when we did need a ride somewhere we used Uber and it worked out great. We would definitely stay here again! Thanks for sharing this beautiful home with us!

Along with being a great jumping off point for other adventures. Angel is a gem! He gave us a great tour of the home on our arrival and made himself available for questions. Angel also returned every couple of days to clean and maintain the pool, he is a great guy and takes pride in the property.

Very spacious historic property

This is a beautiful home that makes you feel like you stepped into another era. It was great value for our family of 8. We traveled with our baby and unfortunately the house lacks anywhere comfortable to gather. No real living room to speak of for everyone to watch a movie or just sit around and be comfortable together. We moved furniture to make the spaces work. The floors are cold and due to the open nature of the courtyard it gets very dirty. our 4 year old had black feet everyday! Rugs or carpets would help. The rooms and beds were comfortable and all in all the villa has all the amenities of home. Angel greeted us and was very friendly and helpful whenever we had any questions he came right over. He does not speak English though! The area is ok, a nice church around the corner and a bike station if you want to bike the city. Parking was a bit of a hassle and the area at night didn't feel extremely safe and it was suggested we park our rental car a few blocks away in a 24 hour security paid parking lot. Angel said it was 50 pesos but we were charged more than 120-150 daily (it was not consistent). There is also a beautiful theater around the corner and the anthropology museum a few blocks away. Centrally located and convenient for all sites and downtown area. We would rent this villa again.
