  • This home was an incredible experience. The positive energy of the home set into motion a calm and relaxed atmosphere that lasted the entire month we were there. Great location and great views.

  • This coming winter (2007) will be our 3rd stay at Casa Caracol. We find it a perfect base for exploring San Miguel. Close enough to town to walk but far enough to feel as if we're in one of the town's many unique neighborhoods.

  • Casa Caracol was one of the best things about an amazing month in San Miguel. I arrived in SMA from my flight from LA near midnight, tired and grumpy. Within five minutes, after a welcome hug from Charlotte, and a chance to soak up the lovely, beautifully decorated, airy, open space with amazing views of the city, I felt like a new person. And this was the "lesser" apartment! Both of my hosts were incredibly friendly and helpful, the best of the ex-pat community in SMA. I spent the last week of my stay in another apartment - quite serviceable but more expensive than Casa Caracol and not comparable in any way. I cannot recommend Casa Caracol highly enough.

  • We were very pleased to discover Casa Caracol (apt #2)was even nicer than the web site pictures indicate. A wonderful place to hang your hat while enjoying San Miguel.

  • Casa Caracol is a perfect blend of Mexican charm and American/Canadian functionality. Designed and built from the ground up with loving attention to detail, Casa Caracol reflects the affinity the owner's have with this beatiful, historic city. The owners are both generous hosts, as well as very interesting and talented artists in their own right. Inviting, comfortabe and possesed with an unprecedented view of the city below, Casa Caracol was a perfect introdution to San Miguel. We would highly recommend Casa Caracol to anyone wishing to experience life in San Miguel, more as a resident, as opposed to a tourist.

  • We loved our time in Casa Caracol. What I loved was the beautiful house but also the clean air, so much better than being right downtown with all the noise and bus fumes. The short 10 min. walk to town was fun a worth every breath.
