  This was our second time visiting Casa Lucia, and it was as enchanting as we remembered. The decor of this home is an exceptional example of the iconic San Miguel de Allende style. It is tastefully decorated and honors the history of the city's architecture. The courtyard and roof garden are beautifully landscaped and furnished, and we spent the bulk of our time outside. The amenities if this house: purified and pressurized water, WiFi, Vonage and local phone lines, en suite bathrooms, washer and dryer, and ice maker with purified ice we're really utilized and appreciated. The house is located in a great neighborhood, and the location is an easy walk to the Jardin, and cabs are plentiful on the Ancho San Antonio, a block away. The house is impeccably maintained, and Marianela, the manager, makes sure that your every need is met. Whatever our question or concern, she immediately responded and always followed-up to make sure that everything was satisfactory. She met us when arrived and introduced the staff. She arranged ground transportation from the airport and arranged for a marvelous cook (Maru, what a gem! We were in gourmet heaven). We couldn't have been more satisfied.

  My wife and I stayed at Casa Lucia for three weeks in April 2013. A rustic, hacienda-style casa nicely located—about a 15 minute walk to city center—with grocery stores, markets and good restaurants nearby. The main casa has a fully equipped kitchen and dining and sitting rooms with nice mexican-style but rather uncomfortable furniture. There’s a lovely patio area with lots of potted plants—great for breakfasts but rather uncomfortable for lounging. TVs with satellite cable in every room, free Wi-Fi (slow as all internet in Mexico) and a local and Vonage phone to US and Canada but no sound system to listen to radio or CD’s. The upstairs has two bedrooms—good beds and nicely appointed—with attached bathrooms (what, no bath soap?). There are balcony and rooftop patios—great for PM lounging. The real treat though is the casita—a self-contained residence in the back of the property. High ceilings, good comfortable furniture and a large TV (this one with a remote). Seat cushions and carpet could use a clean though. Full laundry in casita. We spent most of our time in the casita. Major drawback is the noise from the busy street outside and the large number of constantly barking dogs in the area. Some nights it was difficult to sleep. The property manager speaks good English, is pleasant and somewhat helpful. A cleaning lady and gardener come twice a week. All-in-all, an OK place in a pretty good location but not peaceful and rather worn around the edges leaving us feeling that it is a bit over-priced compared to other properties in SMA. We give it 3 1/2 out of 5 stars.

  This home exceeded our highest expectations. It's spacious, very well decorated, includes a fabulous garden and is just a short walk from Centro. If you have a car, there is lots of on-street parking. The owner and her local manager are wonderful. It's a perfect choice for a great San Miguel vacation.

  Owner response: Thank you so much Bill! We really try to make our home, Casa Lucia, as perfect as possible for our discerning guests and friends who are looking for privacy, great location, and all the modern conveniences in a restored, sunny, elegant Colonial with courtyard, fountain and lush gardens... It is just beautiful here!

  This was an AMAZING house!! The house is better than the pictures (and that is hard to belive!!) Great location, close to everything. Clean, beautiful, I felt like I have lived there forever. The manager Claudia is amazing and so Maria the maid. I will comeback in a heartbeat, too bad I do not have much vacation time! We got the best workout walking everywhere and did not even feel it. There is a great bakery two blocks away and tons of shopping all around.

  We enjoyed four weeks at Casa Lucia during July - August, and it was truly heavenly. A perfect location (a flat, 10 minute walk to El Jardin), and even more beautiful than the photographs (the decorations, linens, kitchen appointments and style are outstanding), we could not have been more pleased. The manager is great, and helped us to engage a talented cook for our stay. We highly recommend Casa Lucia.

  We enjoyed our stay in the lovely Casa Lucia. The home is charming, warm and very comfortable. In particular, we found the kitchen and the bathrooms to be practical and well designed, just like the pictures showed. The outdoor spaces provide wonderful places for relaxation and socializing. Loved the colorful pillows! We have wonderful memories and would return in a heartbeat.

  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.
