Casa De Mita, Puerto Vallarta
One of our most favorite places to get away.
The intimate villa-style Casa de Mita (formerly known as Casa Las Brisas) has 6 guestrooms and 2 spacious suites, overlooking one of the area´s most beautiful and pristine beaches. Located just 40 minutes north of Puerto Vallarta on the outside flank of Bay of Banderas, the scarce footprints on the long, sugary white shores attest to the hotel´s seclusion.
CONSIDER THIS … YOU´LL ESPECIALLY LOVE The oceanfront daybeds are also a fantastic amenity. YOU MAY WANT TO KNOW There are 3 dogs (Alegra, Osita & Evita) on the premises. WHAT´S FABULOUS HERE WHO IT WOULD APPEAL TO (Thank you Mexico Boutique Hotels For you perfect description!)
After a few fabulously relaxing nights at Casa de Mita, head to downtown Puerto Vallarta and the luxurious Hacienda San Angel. Guests planning longer stays can also drive to exciting Guadalajara and discover the urban oasis that is Villa Ganz.
The feeling of being at your own private beach house and the hundreds of books that are scattered throughout the property.
There are daily flights from Puerto Vallarta to the city of Guadalajara (or first-class buses through ETN.com.mx), making it easy and inexpensive to plan a sun & sight-seeing Mexico adventure. Margaritas and mariachis – the best of both worlds!
The staff!! Casa de Mita boasts the most attentive yet unobtrusive staff imaginable. Intuitive, polite and accommodating. The epitomy of mexican hospitality.
Those who love quiet, casual relaxation. The hotel is perfect for reading, soft conversation, afternoon naps and sipping your favorite cocktail over a lingering sunset.

Chuppah Love!
The chuppah or bridal canopy is perhaps the central tradition at most Jewish weddings. Usually it is made of ornamented satin, or velvet — supported by four poles. Marriage ceremonies in the Middle Ages customarily took place outdoors, as an omen that the marriage should be blessed with as many children as stars in the heavens. To make a space separate from the surrounding marketplace, the rabbis sanctioned the use of achuppah. Time and creativity have “turned it into” a variety of other similar structures. The original meaning of the word was “room” or “covering” from the phrase in the Bible: “Let the bridegroom go forth from his chamber and the bride out of her pavilion (chuppah) (Joel 2:16). The chuppah symbolizes the new Jewish home that the couple creates together. It may also have origin is in the reference in the Bible to the bridal bower in which the newlywed couple were confined at the end of the wedding ceremony. In the Middle Ages the custom evolved into a cloth, or outer covering, that was spread over the bridal couple as a means of protecting them from demonic harm and the evil eye. Some believe that It is reminiscent of the tents of the ancient Hebrews.
