Villa Nogal - SAN SEBASTIÁN DEL OESTE

Found this hidden gem online . It did not disappoint ! Quiet , only 6 rooms I believe . Staff has attention to detail , the grounds are amazing and the view incredible as well ! The resturant was lovely and yes foodies would love the menu ! Wow the rooms have a fireplace , patio for in room dining and the bathrooms look like they are for a royal family ! Felt very blessed to be in such a beautiful place ! Thank you to the Owner whom we briefly met . His French touch added to Mexico is a delight. We want to return to see his new place that will feature Chocolates; Just down the hill from this location . They hope to open in April 2021 . Should be wonderful !!

What a gem of a restaurant in the hills. The chef serves up a Michelin rated meal. The ambience and decor were exquisite. The gardens were spectacular and fit for wedding pix. The views of the valley were very special. The small town is charming and if you need a break from the beach this is a perfect day getaway. You want to check the days the restaurant is closed.

The 5-star reviews for this restaurant are legit. The place offers fine service (thank you, Omar, for the attentive and professional service , comfortable and classy decor, million dollar views, and excellent French/European food (which was a pleasant change after weeks of tacos in Mexico . Cheese fondue was great and kept warm over a small burner. Onion soup and potato cream soups were terrific. Beef bourguignon and Grandma’s chicken were great (and like the fondue, they were kept warm over small burners, which was great on an unusually cool New Years Day! . Mexican red wine bottle was very nice. A meal like this in a USA vacation town or city would have cost 4-5 times the price we paid. Easily our nicest meal in Mexico over two weeks. Highly recommend this restaurant!

Wow!! Wow!! Wow!! This is a piece of heaven !! And what a relaxing reprieve from Sayulita! My husband and I rented a vehicle in Bucerias and drove through mountains and beautiful scenery to San Sebastián. This hotel was our first stop ! We had lunch and booked a night right away! From the beautiful lush gardens, the unique fabulous decor , and incredible service, the and views WOW THE VIEWS!...this place is PERFECT!! I wish we were staying for another night. We finally slept well once we got here! The town is authentic Mexican! The cobblestone roads leading into the village is a step back more than 300 years !!

I'm very disappointed! After booking by e-mail and communication with Cynthia Esquivel, she sent me an email with “Claro que si, con gusto programo su visita para el día 3 de Mayo para 4 personas a la 1:00. PM” Of course yes, I will make a reservation for 4 people on 3. May at 1:00. We drove from Nuevo Vallarta to San Sebastián del Oeste, after 1 hour and 30 minutes drive we came to the area and took a walk through the city, then went to Villa Nogal. The gates to the property were locked!! I called the restaurant and was told they closed on Tuesday! I couldn't believe what happened to us. There was no excuse or regret! They didn't care! If they were honest, they would have sent me an email to change my reservation. In all honesty, I cannot recommend this restaurant.
