Casa del Cielo is an absolutely beautiful property!! Like others have said, the pictures truly do not do the property justice. Having your coffee in the morning or enjoying a glass of wine or margarita at sunset looking out over that beautiful view was probably the highlight of our stay there.
The house is in a traditional Mexican style and is so beautifully appointed. You can tell the owners pay attention to details and have a wonderful home, from the decor to all of the little things needed in a house you plan to cook in for a week (like us). The house is very well maintained and has everything you will need!! The pool, patio and garden area were wonderful. It was so nice to have your own private pool area that also has a sunshelf/ splash area for littles. The pool does need some love, but the owners informed us they plan on addressing for future guests. The house is completely safe and secure despite being open to the elements. Please make sure you know this is an OPEN AIR home, which means NO air conditioning and any animals that may be included in that. Lol. We were fully prepared for that and had no issue. There are tons of fans to manage even the most humid of nights (we visited during the most humid part of the year). The wifi worked well and there was cable although we barely watched TV with that pool and the view. The owners were wonderful with the entire process from beginning to end. I particularly found their suggestions for food, medical, conveniences, shopping, etc. unbelievably detailed, thorough and extremely helpful.
The location and proximity to town cannot be beat. It's high on a hill but amazingly close to town at the same time. We mostly used the back garden steps down to the town and found that was the quickest way to get to town, at most a 5 minute walk. I can imagine anyone with mobility issues may find it difficult to manage the steepness from the house to/from town from either entrance to the house on foot. We were just fine on even with our 5 year old. However, I would recommend a golf cart for anyone with mobility issues or who don't do well on cobblestone streets or uneven pavement. Anything you need is probably within two blocks of the house in either direction...groceries, food, beer/liquor, fresh produce, fresh tortillas, fresh fish, pharmacies, health center, shopping, etc.
Thank you Karen and George for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home!! Unforgettable experience!
