We are very excited to announce that Villa Azul Celeste and Villa McFuego Vacation Rental are now under the same ownership. I have full confidence that stays at Villa Azul Celeste will be better than ever under the watchful hand of Pat Brown and her team—which, yes, includes Maria, Flor and Juan Jose.
If you know Pat and her family, you know they radiate goodness and have an impeccable work ethic. Villa Azul Celeste has been honored to play a tiny part in supporting their foundation, War Horses For Veterans. They embody the Mexican phrase, “¡Adelante!”
Today, I held my last staff meeting at the villa. It started, appropriately, with cracking open mini bottles of Mexican Coca-Cola and a “¡Salud!”
It was a short meeting, because words were hard to speak.
Knowing Maria, Flor and Juan Jose has been one of the greatest joys of my life. And tonight, I watched my last glorious sunset as “La Dueña,” with tears of gratitude streaming down my face for the honor it has been to know so many beautiful people because of this extraordinary experience.
I am profoundly grateful to our Villa partners. Their unwavering trust, confidence and generous support made this dream possible. I will carry gratitude for them in my heart always.
Villa Azul Celeste gave me far more than a beautiful place to share with guests. It gave me friendships, memories, laughter, sunsets, and the privilege of being part of the lives of people I might never otherwise have known.
To all of you who have stayed with us, returned to us, recommended us to friends, celebrated milestones with us, or simply followed along on this little adventure…
Thank you.
Con mucho cariño,
Netelle
