My wife and I stayed at La Casita for 4 nights as part of our honeymoon. We couldnt have been happier. It was so beautiful and private and filled with so many things to look at and take pictures of. The pool deck had an unbeleivable view and we took a short walk to a small river/lagoon pool and went for a nature swim. The sounds of the frogs at night was mesmerizing and we got some pictures of Puerto Rico's little coqui friends while we were there. A short drive took us to near the top of El Yunque, and after our adventures of caving and the bioluminescance bay, La Casita was the perfect place to go back to for some relaxation. It is rare that the place you stay at to sleep ends up being one of the best parts of the trip, but Villa Sevilla was just that, it was just as nice to sit and relax and swim and walk around at La Casita as it was to go hiking in El Yunque and explore the surrounding rainforest. After the remaining 6 days of our honeymoon at Culebra and Old San Juan, we both thought our stay at Villa Sevilla took the cake and we are planning on staying there again for our next trip. Marina and Wally were such nice people, courteous, informative, kept the place immaculate....they dropped us off fresh baked bread and a huge bowl of fruit (mango, kiwi, pinnaple, grapes, and more) the morning after we arrived...yummy!...the bread was still warm from the oven too....They were great!

Our stay at Villa Sevilla's was everything we wanted and more. We live in NY and often go to P.R. to visit family but this time we wanted to go as tourists, so we decided to opt out of staying at a regular hotel. We were in search of a guest house and I'm glad we found this beautiful hidden gem. A little paradise with an amazing view from every angle. My main concern was cleanliness and I have to say that it was immaculate, it even smelled great. My children are already begging us to go back, they really enjoyed feeding the chickens with Marina and of course- the pool! The pool does not contain chlorine water and is heated. Wally and Marina have thought of everything possible to make their guests feel at home. Even the refrigerator was stocked with spices and cooking necessities, which came in really handy when we barbecued. The worst part of our stay was having to leave. We will surely go back, next time with more family so we can experience staying at the Chalet since we've already stayed at La Casita. Wally and Marina are very pleasant people and we really appreciate all the time, patience, and thought they put into everything. My son was greeted on the morning of his birthday with fresh baked brownies from Marina which I thought was very, very sweet. Something she didn't have to do-just another example how they go above and beyond. Can't wait to go back ...

Our stay at Villa Sevilla was one of the best parts of our trip to Puerto Rico! Wally & Marina were very welcoming both in the email correspondence to any questions we had and also upon arrival and during our stay. We stayed at Villa Escondido and it was extremely well stocked with everything we needed (napkins, paper towels, tp, dish soap, shampoo, conditioner, hand soap, body wash, hair dryer…) including some unopened food from a previous tenant (coffee, salad dressing, canned tuna, etc...). The large apartment was very welcoming every evening when we arrived home from a long day of exploring and the terrace views were astounding every morning when we awoke and enjoyed our coffee. The views of El Yunque and the northern coast of Puerto Rico, as well as the lush environment in between, surrounded us in peace.

Although Villa Sevilla takes about 15 minutes up a winding road to get to from the main road, its location was good with regard to Old San Juan, Luquillo, Fajardo, outlets, etc… We went to a non-denominational English speaking church (similar to Presbyterian or Methodist) in San Juan where the people were VERY inviting. Old San Juan was fun and I could see spending more than 1 day there. The beaches were okay; we liked the Seven Seas beach in Fajardo better than Luquillo beach but we loved the mufongo we had at La Parilla, the #2 kiosk, in Luquillo.

Being in the foothills was a great way to experience more of the real world of Puerto Rico than if we had stayed at a resort (plus no parking costs!). I thought the coqui and nighttime noises might be a problem for me, a very light sleeper, but I used earplugs without a problem and a couple nights didn’t use them and just enjoyed the night sounds and slept very well. The beds are quite comfortable which is a big thing to me because I am very picky about beds.

Once we had driven up into the foothills to our place we didn’t really want to go back out again so we either ate out before coming “home” or we ate in. Wally gave us a great tip on El Verde, a nearby road-side stop, to get mufongo, tostones, a half chicken, etc… for dinner if we wanted to grab something to bring to Villa Escondio. A couple times that’s just what we did. We were able to truly relax being in the foothills with the coqui and the lushness that God created on this part of the island. Thank you, thank you!

What a wonderful location and view of the Rio Grande and El Yunque area! We were only a minute from the owner yet we had the solitude of being miles away from it all.
Our accommodations were great,comfortable and clean! All the little extras were available to us. It is a great spot from which to explore the National Park , the beaches, the waterfall or just hang by the fabulous pool!
