This huge, old ex-hacienda midway between San Miguel de Allende and Guanajuato, is situated outside Dolores Hidalgo in a small, safe, friendly village. Once a presidio, or fort, along the silver trail in 1567, it became a hacienda in the 1700's. Walls are meter- thick adobe. The haciendas were the castles of Mexico. Although the term 'hacienda' is used incorrectly by many home owners to describe their new replica Spanish-style homes, this is an authentic 450 year old hacienda that at one time owned nearly a million acres.
Beautiful, rustic elegance, furnished with colonial antiques and local artisan pieces, private, fully staffed, including cooks, maids, gardeners, bilingual manager, private massage therapist, and stable/pool personnel.. Luxurious bedding with high thread-count linens and feather beds, plus down duvets. There are 11 beautiful bedroom suites, with satellite t.v and high-speed internet, hot-and-cold water dispensers, sitting area, private terraces, propane fireplaces, and beautiful views of the Sierra Madres.
The pool is heated with a dozen solar panels to assure year-round comfort. The hacienda is approximately 50 rooms, more than 40,000 sq. ft. under roof, with ten walled-in private acres. There are gardens and enormous porches, and a large events area with fountain for special celebrations.
