  • Our stay in Casa de Corazon was wonderful. It was our first visit to SMA and we felt extremely lucky to have found this house for rent. There were four of us sharing the space and there is plenty of room so that no one gets in the way of the other. Taxis are readily available a short walk from the front door. I will most certainly come back to SMA and to this house. Thank you.

  • Casa de Corazon was wonderful. From the art to the specutacular views from the two balconies. Pilar and Cecilia were helpful and very pleasant. In fact Cecilia made us a dinner one night which we had on the highest balcony while watching fireworks! The Hummingbirds visited us everyday early in the morning and during siesta time. The walk down to the Jardin was pleasant and if we did not walk the "up" back it was easy and cheap to get a taxi. We hope to stay in thise beautiful home with "Heart" again. Thank you Ian. Joy

  • We just returned from spending one week in the Casa. It is very beautiful and pleasent place to stay. The roof top views are spectacular. It was well furnished and our entire family, 11 years to 80 years old enjoyed our time in SMA.

  • San Miguel is a delight to the eyes and palate; a beautiful colonial town, and a shopping mecca with good food- what more can you ask? The cherry on the cake was Casa Corazon itself- pristine, very comfortable, fun decor, suberb location, outstanding views. Having lived in Mexico, I was particularly impressed with how well everything worked! What a pleasure to lounge happily at "home" and then comfortably and safely walk into the market, galleries and restaurants-cheap taxis too. Well priced, this is a great house to share with friends. I will definitely return!

  • We stayed at Casa de Corazon in San Miguel de Allende for two weeks. The weather was perfect! Sunny, dry, and warm. After a cool, wet winter it was wonderful. Everything we needed was provided in the house or was available in town. We walked everyday! While in the house we enjoyed the library in upstairs bookcase. Thanks!

  • We were delighted by the cozy atmosphere of Casa Corazon. After a month, it felt like our own home. We would rent it again next year, but it has already been reserved by others for our desired time period!

  • We stayed 10 days at Casa Corazon and were very satisfied. The house was spotless and exactly as advertised. Cecelia, the maid was efficient friendly and helpful. I enjoyed having the top floor terrace, where I painted impressions of San Miguel in the mornings. The kitchen is well equipped.

  • Casa Corazon is a delightful home, with 3 beautiful terraces (one off the master bedroom), with breathtaking views of San Miguel. It has all the 'comforts of home'. It is located in a peaceful neighborhood of well-maintained homes, within an easy 15min walk downhill to shops & restaurants. We did not find the walk home difficult, but for those who prefer a taxi, they are plentiful, and cost 20 pesos ($2). The buses also stop a block away. Street noise is minimal, although San Miguel itself never seems to sleep, and visitors should expect barking dogs, crowing roosters, and church bells. We will happily rent this home again, and recommend it highly. MaryAnn Holt

  • We enjoyed the house immensely. It is charming, functional, and attractive. It met all of our needs. We shared it with another couple who also enjoyed it. It provided ample space to be together and to have privacy. It is the best of the three houses that we have rented in San Miguel over the years. I highly recommend to you.

  • My husband and I spent all of November 2004 at the house and had a wonderful time. There was plenty of room for us and a couple of friends who came to visit as well. The views from the terraces are wonderful, and both Pilar and Cecelia were very helpful. It is quite a long walk to the Centro and the library and so on, but it works out all right if you walk down and then take a cab back up the hill! It's a great house for a family or group of friends to rent, and San Miguel is one of the few places I've been where I didn't get homesick for San Francisco very quickly. :)
