CASA LUCIA - A Simple Beauty.

HISTORY - We are celebrating the newely released RIZZOLI coffee table book "Casa San Miguel, Inspired Design and Decoration" by Annie Kelly. Several spectacular Colonial homes showcased in this book are directly mirrored in the architectural detailing and design of our own renovated Colonial home, Casa Lucia. In collaboration with a group of master craftsmen and artisans, this beautiful property was lovingly restored offering a wonderful blend of old world character with modern day luxury. Our style was very much inspired by the designs of Marcia Brown, internationally known Interior Designer and renowned Colonial Restorer.

ARCHITECTURE - Casa Lucia, where inside of four protecting Stone walls you will find hidden a world unto itself, an elegantly refined Colonial, an architectural gem with charming indoor spaces and gracious outdoor living areas. When you open the heavy, old wood doors to Casa Lucia and step into the welcoming entry portico, you will be looking down a stone walk way lined with luscious plants that leads to a central courtyard filled with greenery, outdoor seating and a lovely fountain. Four large sets of glass French doors to your right usher you in to the living room, dining room, and kitchen respectively. These doors flood the interior of the house with light illuminating the smallest details of the meticulously restored rooms including stone fireplaces, custom furniture, old persian rugs, thick walls and high beamed ceilings throughout. Throw open all the sets of glass doors for a true indoor/outdoor feel or, in chilly weather pull the doors closed behind you and light up the gas fireplaces for a more intimate feel. All these elements come together to compliment the exquisite beauty of Casa Lucia, and guests are delighted by the pleasing and relaxing atmosphere and convenient center location that this outstanding property offers.

WI_FI - Casa Lucia takes advantage of modern convenience with high-speed Internet/Wi-Fi, VCR/DVD, Cable, Vonage free US/Canada calls, Safe Boxes.

KITCHEN - Gourmet kitchen boasts a 6 burner professional chef stove, new stainless steel appliances, and lovely polished cement counters throughout. Center island is great for preparing meals, informal eating, gatherings and entertaining. Kitchen is spacious and open to dining room and courtyard. Truly an inspirational room for many wonderful meals.

DINING ROOM and LIVING ROOM - These striking rooms with open floor plans and large archways deliver the vision of elegant, classic and timeless Colonial style. The two rooms center on comfortable hacienda furniture and feature stone fireplaces, unique chandeliers, vintage persian rugs, high beamed ceilings, thick walls and several glass french doors.

OUTDOOR LIVING ROOM - Take advantage of the gracious covered Outdoor Sala w/hand-carved furniture, clay roof, stone walls, authentic old columns, exposed beams.

BEDROOMS - Two bedroom suites are located up a comfortable, graceful stone stairway rising from the courtyard. Separate entrances to the bedrooms increase privacy and give the rooms a feel of intimacy. Bedroom suites feature custom designed queen size iron beds, fine linens, new pillow-top mattresses, ample closet space, cozy chairs, safe boxes, working fireplaces, exposed aged beams, mesquite french doors with screen louvers that can be opened or closed to the terrace as you desire. The master bedroom is graced with its own sun-filled terrace and bamboo shade roof with comfortable chaise.

BATHROOMS - Each bedroom affords the luxury of its own private bathroom. Bathrooms are completely restored by local artisans, the traditional 'polished cement' as the finish of choice for the hand shaped sinks, counters, walls, and soaking tubs with showers. Also on the ground floor under the magnificent stone steps there exsists a unique, beautiful hand-built 'guest' bathroom that glows in polished cement detail and crystal sconces.

GUEST HOUSE - Charming Casita echoes the Main House in exquisite Colonial design, style and decor. The Casita Family Room features 14' ceilings and an old stone fireplace. Two sets of glass french doors connect the Casita to the Outdoor Living Room and Central Courtyard. Casita serves as additional space that can be used for entertaining, office, studio or guest quarters. Includes queen sleeper sofa w/luxurious new memory foam mattress sleeps 2, comfy chairs, large coffee table, TV, kitchen with new S/S appliances, full bathroom with W/D.

It's a quick 10 minute walk or leisurely, relatively flat 15 minute stroll to the HISTORIC TOWN SQUARE. Casa Lucia is located in the most convenient walking quadrant of the city, and only steps to the “Ancha de San Antonio”, the main 'artery' of San Miguel.

  • Casa Lucia was a wonderful getaway for our family. It is exquisitely furnished and very comfortable. Not a detail was missed - from the lush towels, great sheets, to the well-stocked kitchen. Our kids loved hanging out in the casita and we all enjoyed the beautiful outdoor spaces.

  • We recently returned from a one week visit to San Miguel that included the rental of two homes - one being Casa Lucia. I was immediately charmed by the character and essence of this home - walking through the gate brings you to a secret courtyard that sets the stage for the beuatifully restored property. The great news is that "what you see is what you get". The pictures are accurate in their portrayal of furnishings, finishes and amenities. The location is very convenient to the heart of town and to nearby businesses. I would return to Casa Lucia in a heartbeat!

  • I am happy to have the opportunity to provide some feedback on our stay at Casa Lucia. My husband and I spent a wonderful month (March) at Casa Lucia. The casa is a real beauty, even lovelier than the pictures on the web. It has all the old world charm we so enjoy and all of the modern conveniences North Americans are used to.It is very conveniently located to Centro (about a 15 minute walk - relatively flat) and close to the lovely Juarez park. This was our first time in San Miguel de Allende and my husband and I fell in love with the town, the local people, the great choice of restaurants, the weather, the flowers...Todo. The property manager was wonderful to deal with and the owner (although we did not meet) seemed very amenable to meeting our every need. We recommend Casa Lucia highly.
