Map & Owner's Profile
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.

WOW !!! The pictures do not do this "home" justice..................The owners have thought of every little detail to make your stay a memorable one. Four of us spent one week here in July.........and all I can say is.... "it wasn't long enough". The casita was grabbed by two in our party and the remaining two of us took the master bedroom/bathroom in the main house. The bed in the master bedroom was oh so comfy and the sheets were awesome .... smooth and cool and silky. Even though we only had breakfast in the house.... we found the kitchen to be well equipped.........and if we had wanted to make gourmet dinners...... the tools were there !!! Frankly there are just too many good restaurants nearby .... and we wanted to try as many as possible....... A trip to the upscale "THE RESTAURANT" is a must as is to the comfy "EL TOMATO" which features Argentine Italian cuisine...... both very yummy....... San Miguel is VERY safe as is Casa Azul's neighborhood................Can't say enough good things about Casa Azul..... We will be back !!!

We absolutely loved Casa Azul as it was well located, roomy, had everything we needed for our stay and more! We enjoyed the rooftop garden every evening at sunset and loved leaving our car parked and walking everywhere. The pictures in the website show how attractive and tasteful this vacation rental is. We definitely hope to return!

If you’re looking for a place to stay in San Miguel, look no further – this is the house. My friends and I stayed here a week in October 2010, in celebration of my 50th birthday and the house and attendants exceeded our expectations. The owner, an artist, has decorated each room to capture a true Mexican ambiance. As a gracious host, the owner thoughtfully supplies a manual with information you may (or may not) need to operate the house, numbers to call if you need something, and restaurant recommendations. The kitchen is very well stocked with dishes, glasses, and cooking utensils. We made friends with local Americans that spoke very highly of the owners. My favorite things about the house: The Mexican/Moroccan décor, the rooftop patio to watch sunsets, and the shaded courtyard filled with lime trees we used to make Margaritas! Beds are very comfy, too. The maid and cook served us well. They were very sweet and went out of their way to pamper us. We’re a tough crowd, my friends and I. We travel often and are frequent house renters: Europe, Key West, Lake Tahoe, Bar Harbor, etc. But, this one particular stay had one more hurdle to overcome: exceeding the expectations for Mexico instilled in us by our Mexican grandmothers. And Casa Azul certainly did that.

Our third trip to San Miguel and second time at Casa Azul. The spacious double wide lot gave lots of walking around room inside and the downstairs patio/garden was our favorite for mealtimes. The roof patio was fabulous for evening sunset/ views and drinks. The separate 'casita' has wonderful privacy withour feeling isolated. Lots of nearby local restaurants. The short walk to the center of town was a plus and a good gym also in walking distance kept us from gaining any weight despite fabulous food and a spacious and well equipped kitchen. Good video library and WiFi kept us entertained and in touch. In summary, the best vacation experience you could ask for. Highly recommended.

We had a wonderful week at Casa Azul, when we went to San Miguel to attend a wedding in Delores Hidalgo. My husband, myself and 4 children ranging in ages from 17-25, were all very comfortable. The house is very warm and homey, with a wonderful courtyard to enjoy the cool mornings, and a rooftop deck to enjoy the beautiful sunsets. It's location is off the main street so it is quiet, yet an easy walk to the center of town, for restaurants, groceries, and shopping. Thank you Kathy for helping make all the arrangements so easy, and the contact's in San Miguel were most helpful.

Six of us, including my son and his fiancee, spent two weeks over the Christmas holidays in this wonderfully spacious and warm house. The memories of that time still bring a smile to my face and warmth to my heart! The place is much more than the sum of it's parts and the photos, while accurate, just cannot convey how truly lovely and homey this casa is. We loved eating in the many restaurants and we loved eating at "home". The kitchen has everything one could need to make a great meal come to life. Great beds, quiet nights, tranquil days, space to be together, space to be alone...we shall return!!

My friends and I stayed in Casa Azul for the Thanksgiving holiday and had a wonderful time! The lovely home was so spacious and we each had our own space. Everything we needed was there ... Mike is a chef and enjoyed shopping at the local market for fresh fruits and vegetables and preparing some meals in the well-equipped kitchen. We were able to walk to everything. Kathy was very attentive and called to be sure everything was okay during our stay. We plan to visit Casa Azul again!

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!
