Designed for entertaining, Casa Catalina embodies the essence of Vallarta’s tropical elegance. With an enviable address, the 7,900 sf villa offers breathtaking views of the river, the city and and Bay of Banderas from the top of the Gringo Gulch neighbourhood. Steeped in Hollywood history and originally designed by renowned architect Freddy Romero and the villa was once the residence of famed director John Huston. Whether you are searching for your dream home in the heart of Vallarta, a luxury vacation rental with significant income potential, or even a bed-and-breakfast opportunity, Casa Catalina offers it all.

Completely revitalized, this four-level villa boasts five luxurious bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bathroom, and views of the city, mountains and ocean. The main living area features a top-of-the-line chef’s kitchen with convenient butler’s pantry, and multiple spacious terraces perfect for entertaining and taking in the spectacular views. The heated saltwater pool, outdoor kitchen, BBQ area, home theatre, library, and more transform Casa Catalina into a private paradise within the charm and energy of Puerto Vallarta.

From the upper level you will enjoy sweeping views across the jungle valley, the Cuale River, and the Bay, all the way to Los Arcos and Cabo Corrientes. Entertainment spaces include a grand 3-meter bar, multiple lounging areas, and al fresco dining, along with endless sunsets and the twinkle of the evening lights from the city below. The custom designed kitchen, complete with top-of-the-line KitchenAid appliances, a 150-bottle wine refrigerator, and a large butler’s pantry, is an ideal setting for hosting lavish dinner parties. The primary bedroom suite, also located on this level, features one of Freddy Romero’s signature glass bottle windows, adding a unique touch to the ensuite.

The street-level entrance opens to a charming library and two spacious bedrooms, both offering a shared terrace that overlooks the lower pool deck and cityscape. On the lower level, you’ll find a second kitchen that serves the pool area and movie room, along with two additional bedrooms, laundry facilities, and garage access.
The pool deck, with its oversized heated and cooled saltwater pool, palapa, cabana, and barbecue area, offers ample space for lounging and entertaining.

Rare for Gringo Gulch, Casa Catalina includes a double garage and bodega, plus the added advantage of an adjoining vacant lot with its own entrance, providing extra privacy and development potential.

This historic villa is just steps away from Casa Kimberley and the vibrant amenities of Centro and the Romantic Zone. With fully upgraded modern conveniences such as solar power, water filtration, high-speed internet, enhanced security, and expanded storage, Casa Catalina perfectly marries the charm of Vallarta’s past with the comforts of modern living. This exceptional property is a rare opportunity to own an iconic piece of Puerto Vallarta’s rich history.
