| It is a joy to wander around
in this is very peaceful town, which has changed little in hundreds of
years. More Photos There are a few restaurants in town but not many places to stay. One great restaurant is Montebello, an Italian Restaurant run by my old friend Coco and her husband Walter. If you face the Town Hall (on the east side of the square) her place is down the side street on the right, Pipila # 11, call 297-2883 or ask anyone. Open 1-9pm, closed Tuesday and Wednesday. A short distance from town is the the Hacienda Jalisco, once the headquarters of the mining company, beautifully restored by expatriate Bud Acord, where you can stay, maybe in the same room used by Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor. See below. |

Staying There |
||
| At this moment the Hacienda Jalisco is
the best place to stay. A wonderful old colonial Hacienda, built 170
years ago by the Spnish, with tall ceilings and a fireplace in every
room - it gets cold at night. There
is no electricity, evenings are lit by oil lamps and candles, there's
no telephone. Many famous people have stayed here in the past. Rates for Hacienda Jalisco are 770 pesos per person, in the summer, including breakfast and dinner, or 550 pesos with just breakfast. In the winter 820 pesos incl. breakfast & dinner, or 650 pesos with just breakfast. A chauffeured vehicle or horses are also available for hire. Private transport to and from Puerto Vallarta is available. No children under 12 years old and no dogs allowed. Web Page. |
