Valle de Bravo villa Rental Property Information

Discover Mexico's Switzerland -- Valle de Bravo. We have a new villa in this picturesque lake town. My wife is the architect and we built it as a labor of love over two years. It has massive wood beams, plenty of cozy and romantic sitting areas, 3 fireplaces, subtle indoor and outdoor lighting, an infinity pool, a home theater, broadband internet, an extraordinary sound system, and a secret wine cave. The decor is Moorish, with furnishings from Mexico and Morocco. The highlight is the view: a panoramic unobstructed view of the town, lake, and mountains with spectacular sunsets. This is more than a typical house rental. Think of it as a private luxury hotel with daily maid/turn-down service, full breakfasts, and optional multi-course lunches from a menu of fresh local specialties. Although the area offers tons of outdoor activities and superb restaurants, most of our guests have been content to just relax in the house, enjoy the view, and get spoiled by our superb staff.

Valle de Bravo is one of Mexico's 'Magic Towns' (along with San Miguel and Taxco), 2-3 hours from Mexico City. It is known as the Switzerland of Mexico as it is mountainous and clean with an 8 square-mile lake and pristine pine forests. At the same time, it is classic colonial Mexico -- a centuries-old church in the main square, houses with ceramic tile roofs, and plenty of Mexican music, energy, and color. It has a cosmopolitan side, too, with a buddhist community, an eco-tourism resort, and a spa. Our house is centrally located, a short walk to the square via cobblestone streets full of bougainvillea, African tulips, and hummingbirds. You can relax at the house or go water skiing, horseback riding, sailing, mountain biking, hiking, paragliding, or see the butterflies. Valle has it all and will someday be discovered by tourists, a la San Miguel. Visit before that happens! You can easily combine Valle with beach resorts thanks to two discount airlines with hubs in Toluca.

Further Details for the villa in Mexico

Valle de Bravo -- Eco-Tourism Capital of Mexico Valle de Bravo is known for its outdoor activities: paragliding, mountain biking, hiking, sailing, horseback riding, motocross, golf, and water-skiing. There is a high-end eco-tourism resort nearby called Rodavento. You don't need to bring any equipment with you: you can rent mountain bikes in town (with a guide), rent boats on the lake (both sailboats and motorboats), hire horses, etc. From November to March, 300 million monarch butterflies converge in the nearby butterfly sanctuary (a park ranger is stationed at the outskirts of town to slow traffic because the air is thick with butterflies). You can of course swim in our pool, which we will heat for a fee. There is a wonderful open-air market with fresh produce every day and an artisan market. The weather is great. In the summer magnificent, intense thunderstorms sweep in across the lake in the late afternoon. You can lie out in the sun and swim year-around in our pool & yet it is cool at night, ideal for lighting fires and sleeping

Valle de Bravo -- a paragliding Mecca Valle de Bravo is world-famous among paragliders and hangliders for its thermals and spectacular views (Valle is hosting the 2009 FAI Paragliding World Championships). You do not need any experience to enjoy this sport as they can send you out on a piloted tandem jump with a professional instructor -- my 66-year old mom jumped for the first time this way. At 1pm she called fly Mexico (the local outfit) and by 3pm she was floating over the town. It cost about $100.

Getting to Valle de Bravo You don't need a car to visit us. Valle is a 2-3 hour drive west from Mexico City. The nearest major airport is Mexico City's (MEX), about 60 miles east. If you fly into MEX, we're happy to arrange a car to drive you to our house. Nearby Toluca is also a hub for two new discount airlines, InterJet and Volaris. Both fly all over Mexico, making it inexpensive to combine Valle with a beach destination such as Puerto Vallarta, Los Cabos, or Cancun. From Toluca, you can fly just about anywhere in Mexico in two hours; flights on these airlines usually cost less than $100 each way. We're happy to arrange an itinerary that gives you the best of both worlds -- charming colonial Mexico and great beaches. Some of our guests like to combine a trip to Valle with a sightseeing tour of Mexico City and the Teotihuacan pyramids. We can arrange a bilingual guide to pick you up in Valle early in the morning; you can tour the pyramids midday and still have time to catch your afternoon flight from MEX.
