Morocco Meets Mexico - Charm and Value, Close to Everything

Year Purchased: 2005

Why the Owner Chose Colonia San Antonio

We first 'discovered' San Miguel in 1990 and have always loved visiting. When a friend's house came on the market in 2005, we just couldn't resist. The house was painted entirely white, and unfurnished, so we spent the next 2 months painting and decorating it to our own tastes and standards. We stay there as often as possible, and rent to guests when we are away. And the weather's amazing nearly all year long.

The Unique Benefits at this House

San Miguel offers so much culture and beauty to residents and visitors alike. We always recommend that people stay a minimum of two weeks to get the full flavor of the place. It's a photographer's paradise, there are countless art and language classes, and many choices every day for how to spend time.

Everyone loves the location, the color and the comfort of Casa Azul, which can accomodate one or more couples or an entire family for a memorable vacation.

    • We stayed at Casablanca the first week of September and LOVED it. There were 4 of us (2 couples) and we all felt that the house made our trip to San Miguel. It was beautifully decorated and comfortable. One morning, we did yoga on the rooftop deck and that was amazing. We made coffee every morning and had some margarita happy hours before we would venture out to dinner. The food in San Miguel is amazing. I would recommend El Correo (across from the post office) and La Capilla near the Jardin. We preferred being a few minutes out of Centro and we enjoyed the walk into town. The neighborhood felt completely safe and we never had a problem. The owner and the house manager were on top of everything and all the information you could need was well organized. We all would highly recommend staying at Casablanca if you're going to be visiting San Miguel.

    • We rented this house for a family vacation and stayed 8 days. We brought our two daughers ages 26 and 18. Casablanca is a lovely house with wonderful,comfortable spaces for the whole family. The bedroom were large and all had their own bathrooms. Very important with so many women in the house! The house stayed neat and clean, thanks to the housekeeper who came every other day and was very accomodating i.e. offered to do laundry. We enjoyed walking to the Centro, shopping at the nearby markets, buying fresh tortillas and sweet smelling pan dulce. We appreciated that the house was not in the busy Centro. It was fun to shop, eat dinner and hang-out there, but we liked coming back to our quiet neighborhood and welcoming house. We mainly ate breakfast at the house, but the kitchen was fully equipped and we could have happily cooked every meal if there weren't so many restaurants to sample and explore. Taxi's were cheap and plentiful. You can go anywhere in the city for $2US. Both daughters loved their experience and appreciated the video, cd and game selection provided by our hosts. The parents appreciated the enclosed calm of the patio--our favorite reading/breakfast place. The daughters liked hanging out a Mama Mia's--the parents recommend Don Quiqote and Harry's. We would definitely come back to Casablanca but would want to stay for much longer!

    • We rented this proprety for the week between Christmas and New Year's, and loved it! The house is as beautiful as it looks in the pictures, and the owners have covered everything. Good information was provided both before arrival and at the property; everything from how to light the heater to where to get groceries and restaurant recommendations was at hand. The kitchen was stocked with spices and other condiments, making it easy to prepare a meal if you, unlike us, manage to resist one of the many good and affordable restaurants. I was fond of the neighborhood. I would characterize it as slightly rough around the edges as compared with the polished centro, but in a wholly good way. It was comfortable, generally quiet, and always felt safe. Basic services (pharmacy, tortilla factories, bakery, corner shops, restaurants, juice stand, etc.) were all within a couple of blocks. The walk to the centro was, as advertised, about 15 minutes up a moderate hill (much less steep than many hills on the east side of town), and was reasonable to do a couple of times per day. We had a car and therefore appreciated the secure parking...most any destination (other than the centro itself) is reachable from this neighborhood without getting caught in the traffic of the centro. In brief, I'd happily return to this house on a future trip to San Miguel.
