Latest Guest Review:

The decor of this place will blow you away. Beautiful bright colours are everywhere, nice gardens, a pool, amazing Spanish colonial architecture and even a large patio area for almost every room make this place truly unique. The rooms are large and well-decorated. The service was very good and friendly. The bed, even though a bit harder than we liked was still comfy. The hotel was very quiet for a good night’s sleep. We felt very secure here as the hotel was surrounded by a high wall. It is also well located, only an easy 10 min walk to the market area.

After breakfast, we sat down and chatted with the husband and wife team, Ricardo and Anabel Sanchez, the custodians of La Villa del Ensueno to find out more about the history of their hotel.

History of La Villa del Ensueno

The first B & B in Tlaquepaque, La Villa del Ensueno was inaugurated on January 5, 1996.  American musician, furniture maker and glassblower Richard Pointer Ferguson with 3 others created a vision that has grown from 10 rooms to now 20 rooms within 2 houses opposite one another in Florida Street.

Ricardo is the godson of Richard Pointer Ferguson and has passionately carried out the vision of his Godfather.  Ricardo was born and lived in the room that we stayed in Apartment 9, one of the junior suites,  (Apartment 10 was part of his home as well) that overlooks the swimming pool with a balcony, king-size bed and was extremely comfortable.

Our suite at La Villa del Ensueno

Our suite was decorated in bright Mexican colours and stunning Mexican decor. We loved the bright Mexican tiles that decorated the bathroom. Richard Pointer Ferguson passed away last year at the ripe old age of 90.  Would you believe he created the exquisite Mexican clear glassware that has the blue rim? He was also the first person to open a Pizza restaurant in Mexico in the town of Monterrey.  His passion was creating works of art from recycled beer and soft drink bottles and making furniture.  Some of his wooden furniture creations are located in and around the hotel.

Tlaquepaque is only a short distance from Guadalajara and it is a great alternative to consider staying in when visiting this region.  If you enjoy staying in unique accommodations with colourful Mexican decor, great breakfasts, a swimming pool to relax in after a day of sightseeing we can highly recommend La Villa del Ensueno.

We would like to thank Ricardo and Anabel for hosting us for the night and providing us with accommodation and breakfast in their delightful hotel and we will return to enjoy their hospitality and to discover more of the delights of Tlaquepaque. As always, our opinions, are our own.
