Welcome to Santuario #2, my charming condo in "The Sanctuary”, a private, secure garden complex, green and leafy, accessed by electronic gated pedestrian entry. Located at the end of a private cul-de-sac, in a safe family neighborhood in the historic “el centro” district of San Miguel, it is a block away from the Farmer’s and Artisan’s Market, and a flat and pleasant 10 minute stroll to the main square, “el jardin”, the main cathedral, “la parroquia”, excellent restaurants, art galleries, cultural activities and classes, and the visual charms of one of the most beautiful colonial cities in the world.
You enter your sanctuary from a private plant-filled terrace. Tranquility awaits you in an elegant and airy environment. Sunlight from floor-to-ceiling glassed-in arches bathes the living room and dining areas. There is a sideboard/table suitable for a desk. Traditional dining room furniture to seat 4-6 and charming whitewashed kitchen cabinets adds to the country charm. The living room is elegant with tall Paris-style balcony windows and locally crafted furniture, a lovely spot for watching tv or reading. A gas fireplace keeps you cozy.
While restaurants abound in this area, your kitchen is fully equipped with everything to make your culinary adventures rewarding. The vast local market will inspire you!
There is a powder room with a walk-in shower, light décor, and charming country tiles.
Exquisitely carved and arched wooden doors are your portals to the gracious master bedroom, generous enough to be a second sitting room. It is spacious with twin beds, carved dresser and telephone/writing table. The views to gardens outside add to the ambiance. A walk-in closet, and an ensuite 4-piece bathroom give a self-contained feeling to this large room.
As one of our renters put it: "The photos of this lovely sanctuary do not do it justice. It is tucked away in the most perfect spot for anyone who wants to be near the center of town, but in a quiet neighborhood. The privacy coupled with the centrality is just perfect. The apartment is architecturally stunning and decorated so tastefully. We were looked after and felt like we had truly hit the jackpot. I still can not believe how inexpensive this little bit of paradise was. This sanctuary of an apartment made our first trip to San Miguel truly perfect!"
