Location: Guanajuato, Guanajuato, Central Mexico, Mexico (Leon International Airport - 20 Miles) View Map
Accommodations: House, 3 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2.5 Baths (Sleeps 5-6)
Rent just the two-bedroom main house which can sleep up to 4 or include the guest suite and sleep up to 6.
The name, Casa Encantado, explains it all! The enchanting nature of the City of Guanajuato is only enhanced by the comfort and beauty of our home. You'll be spell-bound by the spectacular views from all the rooms of the house, but especially from the spacious rooftop terrace.
Truly located in the Historical Town Central, you are just steps away from all the main attractions of this enchanting city. No need for a car, all is within walking distance.
From the house one can see all the major historic, educational and cultural sights of the city - the University of Guanajuato, El Pipila, the mercado, Alhondiga, cristo rey, el Panteon, etc. In Guanajuato, you'll enjoy the mystical tunnels, the interesting and varied callejones, the mummy and other world-famous museums. Cultural live theater and art are a part of everyday life. You'll encounter music everywhere in the city - Estudiantinas which lead listeners through the city's callejones every evening, mariachi groups, bandas - you name it.
Casa Encantado is located a few steps up from Calle Pocitos, just about mid-point on the street where both the Diego Rivera Museum and Alhondiga are located. The Jardin, University and Mercado are all within a five minute walk.
Upon entering the property, there is a pleasant outdoor patio and a half bath. As you enter the first living floor of the house, you'll find the foyer, kitchen, living room, twin bedroom and master bedroom with full bath. The main house sleeps up to four people. For an extra fee there is a guest master bedroom/bath on the upper level that sleeps two more.
You'll be struck by the beautiful furnishings, high boveda ceilings, and natural light of the home. Sunlight pours in all day, keeping the home warm in the winter, and the constant breeze keeps the home cool in the summer.
The kitchen is well-stocked for cooking and you'll find high-quality linens and comfortable mattresses that you would expect in your own home. Although enchanting Guanajuato will keep you tempted to leave your normal life behind, there is wireless internet on the property to keep you connected to your business or family while on your adventure in Guanajuato.
You will probably spend enormous amounts of time on the next level upstairs - the spacious rooftop terrace - which affords you views of the city that cannot be beat! Whether you spend the early morning watching the city wake up, or enjoy the gorgeous sunset with a glass of wine, the views and pleasant breezes on the rooftop will inspire you each and every day.
There is comfortable seating for dining and entertaining on the terrace, as well as the second master bedroom. The jacuzzi tub was placed so that you can enjoy a good long soak while watching the views of the city from the picture window.
Casa Encantado is the ideal place for your stay in Guanajuato. The location is perfect, just a few steps up a safe callejon inhabited by Mexican families, and only minutes from the heart of the city. We would be honored to host your stay in Guanajuato and feel confident that you will return to our enchanted home again and again.

Incredible Guanajuato Views Only Steps from the Center of Town
Year Purchased: 2009
Why the Owner Chose Guanajuato
I just happened to see an ad for this property and corresponded with the owners. It felt like my house right from the start, so I flew down to Guanajuato, not knowing what to expect, and immediately fell in love with the property and Guanajuato City. I bought the basic house as it was being constructed, and then added the top floor with a jacuzzi tub overlooking the city. It's been so much fun adding my personal touches and spending time in my sweet Guanajuato casita. I am happy to share this beautiful property with others. You will simply love the location!
The Unique Benefits at this House
The pace of life in Guanajuato is so alluring - peaceful yet vibrant, calm yet so musical and exciting. My casita has become a wonderful solace after a day of exploring the city. The location couldn't be better - it is located just above the greatest plaza in Guanajuato, San Fernando Plaza. This plaza is home to several restaurants and bars, stores, frequent festivals, and the best people-watching in the city! I've decorated the house with comfort and convenience in mind. As a lover of cooking, I have equipped the kitchen with everything you need to make your favorite meals. At the end of the day, I love nothing more than to light a few candles, sip some red wine, climb into my beautiful jacuzzi, and watch the city through the picture window!
Important museum commemorating the role of Guanajuato in the independence of Mexico.
This is the house in which he grew up. Now it is a museum, displaying some of his art and the house itself.
Best people-watching in the city! Great place to relax and enjoy a drink.
The main Jardin where many tourists, as well as locals, can sit and enjoy music, art and meals, and each other. The Theatre Juarez is in this square.
Owner's Map of Guanajuato
I love real estate. I own several rental properties in northern California, which allows me to travel and see other parts of the world. One of my sons is from a Spanish-speaking country, so I really wanted to find a second home in a location other than the US, so that the whole family can explore more about the Latin culture and the Spanish language.
