: Español :   

Casa de los Siete Patios was designed by owner and architect, Jean-Loup Bitterlin, in 1969 as the family estate for his mother Dona Pepita, founder of El Rey Sol, Mexico's oldest French restaurant.

The 8,000 square foot home has been recently and completely remodeled in earth tones by decorator Martha Ramirez to compliment the blue ocean vistas that can be seen from most of the five suites and living areas. The creative, eclectic, décor includes items from throughout Mexico, antique Persian rugs, colorful paintings by renown artist such as Aurelio Pescina, and sculptures in bronze by Heriberto Juarez to complete the warm, comfortable interiors. The patios include a neatly groomed garden surrounding a two-story playhouse; an illuminated professional sized croquet court, the ocean-view pool and spa; and an ocean's edge eucalyptus grove with an antique carrousel for your children's delight.

Perched atop a dramatic ocean bluff overlooking the ever blue and at times emerald glistening water of the Pacific Ocean in Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico is Casa De Los Siete Patios. This is mi Casa and I welcome you to experience something very special and memorable.

When you see its perfect oceanfront location, modern and contemporary architecture, along with its numerous amenities, then you will know why I designed and built this as my dream home. Come with family and friends, relax and make it yours, too!

Patio - Fuente Grande
Pass through the security gates and proceed down the olive tree lined drive that curves past an oversized fountain, in the Patio Puente Grande. On your left. A large two-story playhouse awaits the games and imaginations of forever inquisitive children. The playhouse is surrounded by a neatly groomed garden that outlines the bubbling fountain. At the entrance to the Villa our uniformed staff will bid you welcome as they unload your luggage and cart it inside. A jungle of cantera-stone sculptures and varied vegetation fill your eyes with creative scenery.
 
Patio Campestre
To your right is a magnificent ocean view from the Patio Campestere, where you can enjoy a game of croquet volleyball of badminton. The court is lighted so that your game need not end at dusk.
 
Patio Agua Azul
As you face the ocean you will see Patio Aqua Azul encompassing a four-foot deep rhombus shaped swimming pool. The infinity edge conceals a large ocean view jacuzzi. To complete the Mykonos architectural ambiance is a fully equipped, covered barbecue and bar plus a newly constructed rest room complex that was built to service the needs of large gatherings. More restroom and shower facilities are located to the left-hand side of the area. An elevated serenade terrace where you can enjoy the view while sipping a frosty margarita completes the setting.
 
Patio El Mirador

Patio La Pergola
Further around the house you will find the Patio La Pergola, a 30 by 30terrace that is great for outdoor dining or the perfect setting for an intimate sunset wedding ceremony. Star white lights give a festive illumination that tempts you to dance the night away.
 

Patio Carrousel
The Patio Carrousel is enclosed by a stand of Eucalyptus trees that shade an antique carrousel, one used to delight Mexican Village children. Another barbecue with a dining area overlooks the ever-present ocean view.

Jean Loup and all Bitterlins everywhere! I wanted to drop you a quick note to tell you how much I loved Casa de los siete patios. It’s a Magical house full of what felt like great memories. You are right to be proud of it. I wish I was there now instead of where I am.
God Bless, Bono - U2

Dear Jean Loup,
I am writing to thank you for the beautiful setting and wonderful wedding that you provided for my daughter, Tracy. We could not have asked for a more idyllic place for the wedding. Your home is beautiful and the accommodations for the wedding party were perfect. Your house staff were not only efficient and helpful, but so friendly and accommodating. The proximity to beautiful accommodations for the guests also made it easy for everyone attending the wedding... "Read the whole letter"
Thank you so much.

What comes to mind is class, excellence and service. Our first impression of Casa de los Siete Patios was very positive, a hacienda in the round overlooking the ocean and greenery. Our wedding planner's superb disposition made our wedding out standing and one that nobody will ever forget. The service of the El Rey Sol, the Villa caterer, was one of much experience, received all of our guests compliments. We highly recommend Casa de los Siete Patios for any event...
