The Story Behind the Hacienda The legend of Hacienda San Angel begins with love and legacy. In 1977, Richard Burton purchased the villa Casa Bur-Sus as a Valentine’s Day gift for his wife, Susan — just blocks away from the home of his former love, Elizabeth Taylor. Decades later, philanthropist Janice Chatterton transformed the property into the masterpiece it is today: a sanctuary of art, antiques, and animal rescue. Janice’s compassion extended beyond restoration — she became a dedicated advocate for Puerto Vallarta’s rescue dogs, founding The Sula Society, the very organization your bid supports today.

About the Celestial Suite Once Burton’s personal retreat, the Celestial Suite offers sweeping ocean views and private palapa seating. Its décor features museum-worthy antiques — from an 1880 painting of the Immaculate Virgin to a 19th-century Venetian chandelier and heirloom furnishings that tell stories of art, faith, and heritage.

The suite includes:

Queen-sized canopy bed
Ocean-view sitting area with private palapa and bar
Luxurious marble-tiled bathroom with open shower
Plush robes, slippers, and premium bath amenities
Air conditioning, Wi-Fi, minibar, and more
