Accommodations: Penthouse, 2 Bedrooms + Den, 3 Baths (Sleeps 5-7)
This casa is a large penthouse with a separate one bedroom apartment ("casita" or Guest Suite) and comes with an experienced housekeeper and cook. Note: we often rent the casita/Guest Suite separately, so if you want a less expensive, smaller place, be sure to inquire.
The penthouse has an open plan living room, dining room and fully equipped kitchen with all new appliances, including dishwasher. There is a master bedroom with fireplace and full bath connected to the main living space by an outdoor covered living room with another big gas fireplace for cool mornings and evenings. A patio with fountain, dining table and chairs and umbrella makes a great spot for breakfast. Upstairs is a loft office and a twin bedded office, as well as a huge terrace with dining table and benches and a sitting area. The "icing on the cake" is the upper terrace with grand views out across San Miguel and a special view of the spectacular church (the Parroquia) in the Jardin. A great spot for sunset drinks!
The casita has a separate entrance with a living room/kitchen area, gas fireplace, a queen bed, window seat and full bath. The house is fully equipped for high-speed wireless internet access and there is a computer for your use.

Map & Owner's Profile
San Miguel Elegance - One Block to Jardin - September Open !!
Year Purchased: 2006
Why the Owner Chose Centro Historico
San Miguel is magical - a well-deserved UNESCO World Heritage site with cobblestone streets and the occasional donkey side by side with modern restaurants and art galleries in a perfect year-round moderate climate. A Mexican friend of ours calls San Miguel "2nd world" - that is, a combination of the 3rd and 1st worlds. And that seems about right. Our house and our apartments are in the best possible location in San Miguel. Many other rental possibilities will tell you that they are some number of minutes (10, 15 sometimes 20 minues) walking distance to the Centro - but that often translates into how long it takes to get to the outskirts of the Centro. Here is why we bought where we did -- we are 1 level block from the Jardin. Period. Could hardly be closer...
The Unique Benefits at this Penthouse
Because the weather here is mild year round, we enjoy being outdoors daily on our patios and roof terraces. Just breathing in the air, listening to the fountains and enjoying a cup of coffee outside seems to create a peaceful beginning to every day. We enjoy walking to the Jardin, sitting on the park benches and "people-watching." For more sophisticated pleasures, there are hot springs for swimming, 1st class restaurants to walk to, shops, museums, artisan markets or hiking in the nearby hills. Maybe Spanish classes. At the end of the day, back to the terrace to watch the sun go down over the valley -- perhaps with a glass of wine or a margarita. What could be better?
Owner's Map of Centro Historico
Robert and I have always loved Mexico -- so, no surpise when we visited San Miguel we knew immediately that this was the place we wanted to be! We had owned and developed many other properties in the US, but that did not necessarily prepare us for the construction process in Mexico. But, when all was said and done, we managed to take a small run-down residential compound in the heart of the historic center of town and make it an oasis of calm and beauty, where we love to be and where we love to greet others coming to San Miguel. Whether you are tourist or are considering moving to Mexico, we would love to have you as our guests. Move the view of the map to HYBID view to see where we are!
