La Mariposa is a Mexican villa rental for those of us who are searching for a respite from the frenzied pace of modern civilization.

It is for lovers who want a romantic escape; for friends who delight in sharing great food, drink, and good conversation in a tropical setting and colorful culture; for surfers who travel the coast looking for the one spot that makes them want to return again and again.

Whether you surf, snorkel, fish, golf, read, practice yoga, ride horses, explore tide pools and caves, listen to music, enjoy the sun and a few margaritas, or just reflect under a canopy of stars, a stay at La Mariposa will reconnect you with your spirit and rejuvenate your soul.

La Mariposa was designed by a noted Mexican architectural team and built by native craftsmen in 2005 as a luxury villa for rent.

It is located in the small village of Troncones, near Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo, on the west coast of Mexico, where the translucent swell of the blue Pacific meets the Sierra Madre del Sur Mountains. The Ixtapa / Zihuatanejo area is a gorgeous and popular vacation spot, so the small city nearby, Troncones, is an ideal place for a luxury Mexican rental villa.

La Mariposa, a magnificent 6500 square foot home, provides a secure, private and serene atmosphere with all the comforts you can imagine.

The villa has four air-conditioned bedrooms, five bathrooms, a state of the art kitchen, a media room with a 52" US Satellite TV and DVD Player, iPod stereo with speakers throughout the house and pool area, and wireless Internet connection.
