LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION
Relax and enjoy the best of Mexico in beautiful surroundings. Plenty to do and places to go or just veg out by the large, salt water heated pool or enjoy a margarita and a great meal with new friends. Minutes from the authentic, unspoiled Mexican village of San Antonio nestled between Lake Chapala and the majestic Sierra Madre mountains. Walk to charming Ajijic and its colorful galleries and shops. Don't miss the Wednesday market (Tiangus) where the best fresh produce, flowers, cheeses, honey and local handcrafts of leather, embroidery and jewelry are available at incredibly low cost. My home is a block from the Careterra where you can take the bus to Ajijic, Chapala, San Juan Cosala (the hot springs), Joctopec or Guadalajara. And it's a quick walk (honestly)to several excellent restaurants, a large supermarket (Super Lake), Walmart, internet cafe, liquor store, great bakery, beauty shop where you can pamper yourself with a mani and pedi, spa for a nice massage, cleaners and more. Soon to come 55 shop mall. The golf course is nearby as well. The English live theater is literally around the corner. You won't even need a car and that's the truth!
