Good News!! Three weeks in each of December, and April are still available, as well as two weeks in March! What a thrill! If you have not seen SMA in the spring, the Gardens are in full bloom and the hummers are returning! See our calendar link on this site. Also, we have a new video link on this site!
Our lovely home was designed by famed Mexican architect Xavier Barbosa and is built in a style which encourages comfort, relaxation, activities, socializing, bird-watching, and evening activities. This is a peaceful neighborhood which contains many foreign owners of homes and very friendly neighbors.
Languages, photography, art, drawing, music, walking and and shopping are some of our favorite activities. And while the city is indeed growing a little, it is an old colonial area in which all changes must be approved and are carefully regulated. The town is now not only a Mexican Historical Site, but is on the UNESCO list of Historic Masterpieces. Our house, behind our walled compound, is the leading home in the whole area. It is near the central garden of the town and the main church, a very easy walk to el centro and all the best sights and restaurants, language instruction, the Instituto, and shopping.

Why the Owner Chose Centro Historico
Fell in love with SMA and its people on second visit and found it such an oasis of culture and languages that we just had to purchase our home. Holidays and fiestas here are incomparable.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Safety, security and tender loving care are the hallmarks of our home. Many guests (we have donated time on many occasions to benefit various charities) have returned, and some have even asked for longer stays! You may contact our House Manager (lives in the separate staff quarters on the property), Miguel, to arrange transportation from the airport to our home and vice versa on your departure.
