Our difference

24 hours in. Not 16.

Most rentals give you keys at 3 or 4 pm and want them back by 8 the next morning — 16 hours at best. At El Capricho, you check in at 12 noon and leave at 12 noon the next day. A full, uncut day.

What guests say

★★★★★

An amazing place to spend time with family. It looks much better in person. Mr. Armando is super friendly. The pool is 10/10 for kids and adults; it's the best feature of the place. The rooms are clean, and communication is very easy. Definitely a place I would return to.

Jennifer · March 2026
★★★★★

The experience in the house was very good. It has everything you need to feel comfortable and enjoy your stay. Both Edgar and Armando were very kind and were always attentive to any needs. The pool is excellent.

Harumi · May 2026
★★★★★

Everything is exactly as shown in the photos and the host's description. The person in charge was very attentive to our needs and responded immediately and very kindly to whatever we needed. We had a great time during our stay. 100 out of 100—highly recommended!

Adriana Elizabeth · April 2026
★★★★★

The photos don't do it much justice, it's prettier than on screen :). Very comfortable, everyone was always attentive in case we asked for something, we would definitely return.

Laura · December 2025
★★★★★

Excellent place for a family getaway from the city, incredible pool and jacuzzi, my dogs did not know what to do with so much garden... we had an amazing time these days, a special thanks to Don Armando for being attentive to us. I would definitely come back.

Julieta · December 2025
★★★★★

Excellent place. What we liked the most was the very large, heated pool, which always had a hot tub with a heater… Everything was very clean. Always attentive to your needs. We will definitely go back there.
