Accommodations: House, 4 Bedrooms, 3 Baths (Sleeps 7)
Located in the Centro, and only a seven minute walk to the Jardin, this delightful house is perfect for families, an intimate vacation or for up to three couples, with private quarters for everyone. And unlike many San Miguel homes which are not geared to those of us who like our creature comforts, three fireplaces and heat in every room insures that you'll stay warm during even the cool evenings that may occur in the winter months. The charming garden with fountain and large sun terrace allow for much time to be spent outside enjoying the beautiful San Miguel weather even during the pleasant Winters.
Totally renovated in 2005, this bright, airy home circles around the central courtyard. Here you can enjoy the splashing of the fountain as you linger over a late breakfast and evening meals. The living room is perfect for an evening with friends and family, just visiting or watching a movie in front of the fireplace after a meal prepared in the lovely Mexican tiled, cozy, yet spacious kitchen.
The home has two bedrooms with double beds on the ground floor. Each has French doors and windows opening out onto the courtyard and a private bathroom with shower. The delightful living room opens onto the central patio as well, and features stylish, up-scale furnishings and charming local crafts. There is an entertaiment center in the corner, with cable TV, DVD, and stereo.
The dining table, which sits between the living area and the kitchen, seats up to seven, or you can dine in the garden. In the kitchen broad, tiled counters, new major appliances, a pantry, and plenty of light make cooking a pleasure. A couple of stools at the counters enable visitors to cheer the cook on. And if you're missing any ingredients, nearby markets solve the problem.
Up a flower-lined stairway, is the broad roof terrace with views of roof-tops, cupolas, and downtown church domes. The terrace is tastefully landscaped with Ficus trees, Bougainvilleas and many other carefully selected plants chosen by the owner who is a avid gardener. An afternoon napping under the umbrella on a lounge chair is a must! The master suite, with French doors onto the terrace, has a bedroom with fireplace and queen-size bed. Beyond the bathroom is a study/sitting room with extra closet space, a fireplace, desk and day bed. This room also has a private entrance onto the terrace, in case you wish to use it as a fourth bedroom.
Convenient to the ever-fascinating San Juan de Dios Market, around the corner from the popular Warren Hardy language school, and about a 15 minute walk from the Instituto de Allende, Casa San Juan de Dios is close to everything. After an exciting day of touring, taking classes, or attending concerts, lectures, gallery openings, or going clubbing, you return to the peace and quiet of Casa San Juan de Dios and listen to the splashing of the fountain in your own private sanctuary.
Carmen, the maid, comes to clean and change the linens. She is scheduled for three times a week, but is always pleased to come more often to cook, or to babysit (all for an extra fee). As she speaks English, she is a great resource for information about the town or the market. The property is also professionally managed by an English speaking manager who is on call, in case you have any problems.
Staying in Casa San Juan de Dios will be an experience you won't forget and almost certainly will want to return to as your home away from home, in San Miguel.

Dear Wendy, The place really captures the San Miguel magic. We were really comfortable and could lay out and rest but still get to the Jardin in a few minutes whenever we wanted to. You made it all easy with the recommendations for restaurants and such. And my Spanish was pretty rusty so I was really thankful Carmen spoke English. Thanks for making our San Miguel vacation perfect.

Hi Wendy and Ariel I just wanted to drop you a note to let you know how much we enjoyed our stay in San Miguel and at Casa Oasis. Everything was perfect for our needs. The house was beautiful and comfortable. Carmen was great and very helpful. And a special thank you to Wendy for sharing your local knowledge about things to do, places to go and which vendors and products to trust in the local markets. Bye for now, Roy

What a magnificent home you have. It was so comfortable. There were six in our family and we could all retire to our own worlds, so we never got tired of each other. The house really made our reunion a very special event. Thank you so much. Jeannie
