Quetzalcalli in Las Brisas, Acapulco


The Villa Quetzalcalli is located on a cul-de-sac in the original and exclusive part of Las Brisas, below the scenic highway and in front of Casa Bristol, which was owned by Frank Sinatra.

The villa is very private, surrounded by over 7000m of gardens, large tropical trees and plants, and a stunning view of the open ocean, part of the Roqueta Island and the lights of the Las Americas peninsula. From here you can observe spectacular sunrises and sunsets 365 days a year, nothing distracting you from the total serenity.

There is a terrace with a large and deep swimming-pool (app. 20m long) where you can have breakfast or dinner served.

On another terrace you may enjoy the grilled meats or a freshly caught fish of the day and of course the wonderful fruits and vegetables that are part of Acapulco’s local produce. Have a buffet in the evening and admire the twinking lights of the city and the bay.

Quetzalcalli features a 10m high waterfall built within prehistoric boulders, which form the Jacuzzi-swimming pool on the second level. Several terraces or informal living-sitting and entertaining areas are on this level, partially shaded by huge tropical trees such as the yellow amate, Ceiba and a Fig tree, which grows through the roof of the downstairs bar. Here you can meditate, while enjoying the peace of the Bay of Santa Lucia and contemplate its incredible history and different civilizations of centuries past.

Quetzalcalli's architecture is in the style of Frank Lloyd Wright's "Falling Water", with a very large living room on the first level

decorated with important contemporary and pre-Columbian art. In the rear of the living room and set apart is a large dining area with three Ero Saarinen dining tables and chairs where over 20 persons can be seated comfortably for an informal or formal meal.

A step down from the living area you reach a partially roofed area with a low round table in form of Quetzalcoatl (the feathered serpent god of the toltecs), surrounded by Hary Bertoia chairs and next to it a large bar, with the fig trees as a backdrop. Down a couple of stairs is the swimming pool with a large terrace made out of deep red cantera from Queretaro.

The house has 5 bedrooms with 5 bathrooms and a separtate bungalow with guest room and bath. Three of the bedrooms are located on the second

level and open up on both terraces. From there you have access to the Jacuzzi swimming pool.

One bedroom has a queen sized bed and the other a king and third two doubles.

Another bedroom is downstairs off the living room and has two single beds, and the last one (the bungalow) is separated from the house by 5 steps and has one king size bed, a large totally private terrace and a separate entrance.
