Heretofore this private villa has been a secret haven for a few selected professional photographers. Now the elegance of Paraiso Maravilla is available to everyone for portrait and video/film shooting:

• Bridal
• Family
• Commercial Film Location
• Corporate

The lavishly carved stone and marble interior is ideally suited for year-round portrait work. Large windows and skylights provide beautiful natural light--all in air-conditioned comfort. The lush gardens with vine-covered arches, statuary and waterfalls offer yet another picturesque setting.

"...Once the gates close and the visitor is tucked inside, he or she is transported thousands of miles away to a strongly Latin American fantasy. All traces of Houston are gone. Every visual angle within the high walls is picture perfect - a romantic arched gateway in this direction, a splashing fountain surrounded by rich foliage straight ahead, a playful curving stairway in the other direction. Here, a massive mantle, there, a vast expanse of Italian marble.."
