Situated in the heart of town, central, yet very private, this convenient and delightful villa is decorated like a dream and it is only a five-minute walk to the plaza and all of it is an interesting adventure. It is built on the hillside, in the Spanish style, with large doors protecting its privacy from the street. The outer wall comes to the street property line. When you open the solid wooden door, you find yourself in the small patio of another world. A glance to the right and you are in the kitchen, straight ahead, through those beautiful old doors and you are in the living area on the main floor.
The casa has 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and the top floor has a spacious sitting-room and terrace. To enjoy the glorious panoramic view, climb the stairs to the sun-deck on the third floor, to the sitting-room and sun porch. The lounges on the porch/balcony are for the sun-lovers; the shade lovers look from the roof out to the vista beyond. Its owners have given it every minute attention for your pleasure.
But there is a further surprise. The open sitting-room holds a giant television set, with games, books, stereo system and many more treasures of entertainment. Please ask the maid or management for the key to the sitting-room. The fireplace is welcome on cold winter nights and the protected garden is a perfect spot for reading or writing.This room has an air mattress and can be used as an additional sleeping area for the seventh person.
Service is what makes this vacation outstanding. Your maid Remedios is on duty to clean your rooms, the kitchen and house, and do light laundry. There is an experienced gardener, and a cook is available upon request. With excellent service, you have nothing to inhibit your complete enjoyment.

The trip was such an architectural pleasure. The drivers were professional and always on time. The house was unbelievable! Warm, cozy, interiors as well as the flavor of old world charm. The place will always be special in my heart. C. Doty

Our stay was terrific!! We loved the house and the town. We took Espanol 6 hours a day at the Instituto de Allende and really got in to it. The maid service was excellent, and Guido arranged for a cook (Blanca) to come in to cook for us four nights. This worked out well, as we had homework to do. We watched the sunset every night form the upstairs deck. J. Rapp

We were thrilled with Casa Kate y Emma. It is truly a beautiful villa and we loved everything about it. Guido was very helpful, Remedios was a sweetheart and such a hard worker. We had Guido set up with Blanca to cook us a Mexican feast one night and it was great. A. Smith

Just wanted to express our appreciation for the rental. We had a wonderful time. Remedios is unbelievable; very good cleaner, very responsive and very nice. Guido could not have been more responsive and helpful. Every time we called he took care of our need quickly and professionally. You are very fortunate to have these employees. Your house could not be in better more capable hands. Thank you again for sharing your wonderful house with us. B. Reyner

We had a wonderful time in San Miguel and Casa Kate y Emma was spectacular. The photos did not do the home justice, the views were wonderful and the home perfect for our needs. Given our class schedule we rarely saw Remedios, but she came every day and carefully did the laundry and made the beds. She also welcomed us warmly and with umbrellas when we arrived in a driving rainstorm. The house was only a five minute walk from the the Institute Binlingue where we took Spanish classes. We were also able to walk both to the park and into town from the house and made friends with the owners of the little fruit stand down the road. J. Krakauer

The home was wonderful. Pictures and words cannot do it justice. We all truly enjoyed our stay very much. Remedios was a delight to have and our driver, Leandro, was there to greet us at the airport as planned. It was our first trip to San Miguel and within minutes we all fell in love with the town as well as Casa Kate Y Emma. As beautiful as the town is, being able to stay at Casa Kate made it more of a delight and made our trip very enjoyable. The house was so amazing that we actually spent more time than we plan hanging out around the house. Casa Kate was exactly as I had pictured it. It had a very tranquil-like ambience and all of the artwork that garnished the home was aesthetically pleasing. It was spacious yet cozy. The service was great. Remedios greeted us every morning with breakfast. She was very warm and motherly. We have been telling all of our friends about your home and we highly recommend it to everyone. We are all hoping to return to San Miguel next year. Thank you so much for the wonderful hospitality and We all hope to stay there again soon. B. Mangan

We had the best time at your home in San Miguel. It is so lovely - we loved all the touches of Mexico that you have used throughout the house - the downstairs was almost like a museum. Remi was great - she is so careful in instructing the correct Spanish word - we really appreciated her. Thanks also for your info on the area - we visited the spa at Sierra Nevada quite a number of times, enjoyed many other walking tours. Made a trip to Dolores Hidalgo one day. Met your neighbor at midnight on the 31st - we were all up on the roof enjoying the fireworks. Thank you for your hospitality - the warmth of your home made our holiday so pleasant. M. Barfield
