Casita Lolita is an elegantly charming, cozy retreat, in a quiet area of San Miguel known as Colonia Guadalupe. It is very close--just a 15 minute walk (10 for fast walkers)--to the Central area of town, the "Jardin" and "Parroquia". Very convenient, there are restaurants and shopping nearby. Inside, it is private and quiet, a condo with just 2 other units.

This one is upstairs, with a plant-filled balcony which offers a peaceful outdoor area to sip a glass of wine and view the sunset. Inside it has a spacious Boveda ceiling, and is painted wonderful colors which flow into each other and give a happy feeling when you are visiting! There is artwork created by local artists, Anado Mclauchlin, and brothers Carlos and Alfonso Ramirez. The space is really most comfortable for 1 or 2 people.

There is a spa for facials and massage one block away, a gym 2 blocks away.

Why the Owner Chose Colonia Guadalupe

I wanted to live there, but because I cannot leave my grandaughter for so long and don't even want to, I live here in California instead. So, it is a charming rental!

The Unique Benefits at this Condominium

I love that the kitchen is big enough to move around in, the bed is extra comfy, and the balcony offers such pleasure for morning coffee or sunset watching. I love the convenience, nothing is too far not to walk to, and if I need a taxi for the hotsprings, it is easy walking to get one! I love that I can have a good massage or facial a block away, and healthy food is also very close.

    • I have been a travel agent for 20 years and am "trained" to find fault with places I stay (occupational hazard). I can't think of ONE thing that I could say that was a problem at the lovely Casa Lolita. I could live there (and might one day). Everything was in working order (not always the case with rental properties) - there were thoughtful touches everywhere. As you can see by the photos the colors are amazing and you just feel happy and uplifted while you are staying here. The Guadalupe area is a perfect location, and quiet even during the Mexican Independence Day celebrations. The wonderful Gombos pizza is a few doors down and there are abundant restaurants and shopping within just a few minutes walk. It's about a 15 minute flat walk to centro with lots to see along the way. I probably shouldn't be raving about Casa Lolita as I might, hopefully one day soon, want to return and could find it unavailable once others find out about this jewel!

    • Casita Lolita is a gem and as one other guest commented much like living in a jewel box. I was lucky enough to live here for seven months in 2008/09 and would bring the apartment home with me if I could. Everything in the flat is thoughtful and well laid-out, from the floor plan, lighting (all on dimmer switches, fireplace, art, and furniture. No detail has been overlooked or spared. The kitchen is the BEST. Spacious and fully-equipped - heaven for anyone who really likes to cook. Among apartments in SMA, this is a rarity. Finally, I'm doubtful one could find a more gracious and easy- going owner. I hope I will be lucky enough to live here again.

    • My husband and I just spent 10 days at Casita Lolita surrounding the Dia de los Muertos holiday. We had a fantastic trip and just loved Casita Lolita. The Casita is a little jewel box full of color and art. We had everything we needed and were very comfortable. I think anyone who stays here will be thrilled with "their find".

    • I stayed in this lovely apartment for a week in January 2008. Just as the fotos show, the apartment is chock-full of original art, bright, cheerful, and warmed by a gas fireplace. And it comes with high-speed DSL. Lolita, the owner, could not have been more hospitable, dropping off music CD's every other morning. The neighborhood is residential and quiet, with tiny tiendas (stores) on the corners, and even a small gym and medical clinic within a couple blocks. The apartment is just 15 minutes, walking briskly, from the Jardin. I would happily make this adorable and spotless apartment my home away from home in San Miguel.

    • This is a quiet charming place to stay. The decor is fun Mexican folk art. The staff and owner are great to deal with. This is a real find! I hope to come again.

    • Two of us shared this cozy little apartment in San Miguel de Allende for the Dia de los Muertos holiday.It was a short 15 minute walk away from the city center so was close enough but nice to be away from the crowds in a more quiet neighborhood. I would definitely return to Casita Lolita.
