Villa Valentin
Dirt tracks in the jungle. Crossing river beds. Middle of nowhere. So the rental car guy said. We say: Unseal driveway. No river beds in sight. 5 minutes from Sayulita town. Its all a matter of perception. Villa Valentin is no doubt an Oasis on the Nayarit coast. Proudly created by NZ couple Katherine and Conrad – Villa Valentin is a comfortable 45 minute drive from Puerto Vallarta Airport. Transfers or rental vehicles are available. A tropical sense of calm and effortless style transports you to immediate relaxation. Presented with a plethora of options for sitting, lying or shady exercising this Villa will "press pause" for you on arrival. With the colourful town of Sayulita, just a few minutes away for all you Artisan shopping and dining desires. https://www.villavalentin.net

Villa Santa Cruz
This has to be one of my favourite places to visit in Mexico. I have been lucky enough to have stayed at this wonderful boutique hotel. It's just north of the cool and magical town of Todos Santos. The beach is to die for and if you surf then you're in heaven.
The pool is enormous and a soak in the Jacuzzi is the perfect end to your day.

Museum of Frida Khalo
TIP - Best to get there before it opens as the queue grows early, do this on a Saturday and then continue on to the San Angel Markets for some culture and yum food.
Frida Khalo's creative universe is in the Blue House, (Casa Azul) the place where she was born and died. When married to Diego Rivera she lived in different places in the City of Mexico and abroad, but Frida always returned to this house in Coyoacan. The Blue House was converted into a museum in 1958, four years after the death of the painter.

The Red Tree House
Always my first choice to stay at The Red Tree House in Mexico City. Victor and all the boys there are incredible.The stunning cooked breakfast is something to look forward to every morning. The Condesa area is safe to walk around and has the best restaurants.

Oaxaca
A total foodie place to go, the meat market is a must to see, just hold your nose.
Stay close to the centre as it is fab to just wander and people watch. Monte Alban is stunning and incredibly peaceful and if the locals have stopped fighting over who owns the road and you can get to the Petrified Waterfall, then it's worth a visit.

San Miguel de Allende
Awwww, nothing beats a proposal serenaded by the Mariachi band!
Cute town with lots of cobbled streets to wander. Very historic and many Artists in residence.
Expats flock there to indulge in their hippy lifestyle. The original bordello is an interesting place to stay if history is what you're into.
