About Villa Sevilla

Our mission at Villa Sevilla is to assist travelers in exploring the undiscovered side of Puerto Rico by providing a glimpse into real countryside living.

At Villa Sevilla travelers will find a peaceful, ecologically minded, comfortable, and affordable lodging experience outside of the typical tourist centers and resorts of Puerto Rico.

As the owners and managers of Villa Sevilla we will strive to:

  • Maintain the highest standards to provide clean comfortable and safe accommodations

  • Assist new travelers to Puerto Rico by providing information about our local area including restaurants, activities, and local attractions

  • Be available to our guests when needed but never be intrusive

  • Foster and develop sound ecological practices to decrease our footprint on this earth

So whether you are a group of friends looking for an active vacation, a couple looking for some relaxing time off, or a family who wants the comforts of home, Villa Sevilla has something to offer for everyone.

In closing we just want to thank all of our past guests for sharing a small part of their lives with us here at Villa Sevilla.  We also want to offer special thanks to all of our guests who have taken the time to write the many reviews and sharing their experiences of Puerto Rico and Villa Sevilla.  We feel blessed to have met so many wonderful new friends and want to thank you for helping us to succeed.

Wally and Marina Lawson

Let your spirit fly

"Wally and Marina-We loved our trip and were so glad to experience it from this porch.  We loved dinners and talking on the deck, your beautiful garden, the salt water pool, the lizards, the colors, and of course the sound of the coqui at night...We'll be back!  Many thanks"

"Sad to leave PR, our last day before heading home (to lots of snow).  The casita was a great respite after our day trips, and a perfect spot for our family with 2 young boys to run around and search for coqui frogs, lizards, chickens, and fresh fruit..."

Thank you so much for your kind hospitality.  Villa Sevilla is truly a piece of paradise.  We will miss going to sleep with the coqui's and waking up with the roosters.  And of course until our return, we will miss you!"

"All I can say is OMG!!   What a great place to stay (Villa Escondido)!  Our only complaint is that we only had two nights to stay with you at Villa Escondido.  We will definitely be back and for at least 5 days.  We loved the mountain location, the sounds of nature at night, the hike to the waterfalls and the helpfulness of both Wally and Marina.  Emilio was wonderful to talk with in the morning while having my coffee.  The activity book was a big help...Again, so sad we have to go back to the now and cold!!!"

"Wally and Marina-Thank you for your hospitality and helpfulness during our first trip to Puerto Rico.  During our five days our favorite place to be was on our lovely porch here at La Casita-perfect for drinking wine coffee and tea. Some of our favorite activities included - the river and waterfalls on your property, Erin Go Bragh, Biobay tour, Stuffed Snapper at La Parilla, Bird watching from the porch and the view!...It is ever more precious because as I write this our home of NYC braces for another snow storm.

"Wally and Marina-What can we say that has not already been said?  Nothing.  This was the best vacation ever and can't wait to come back next year. Our kids usually don't want to go to the same place but they are already saying 'next year we are coming here!'  There is so much to do here for an island....Wally and Marina, you are the best!  This place is perfect in every way and we will be back!"
