Description of the San Miguel de Allende vacation home rental

Bright airy two bedroom home overlooking San Miguel de Allende in light perfect for artists. There are lovely 360 degree views from large tiled second floor terrace and from the third tiled patio with a tile roof, for magnificent vistas of The Parroquia. The large second floor tiled terrace is great to relax or entertain with views of Downtown SMA, including the Parroquia. The third floor has stunning views of the Parroquia and the Lake at San Miguel, as well as countryside. All 1 mile from the Jardin or center of town, so either a 25 minute hike, 10 min. bus public transportation ride (5 pesos, from 7:30 am until 9 pm), or a $30 peso cab ride will get you to the Jardin. Close to town, privacy, quiet and great views.

The home is NEW, with gas log heating, a gas heater in the Master Bedroom and heaters in the bathrooms and other lower bedroom, ceiling fans, and charming two bedrooms (one upstairs with a stained glass bedroom window and bodeva ceiling and one downstairs with a glass door entry into the little garden). There is a small office area with two hand made large computer desks with high speed internet & Wi Fi; kitchen with purified water system, lovely hand carved dining table and lots of light! Cable TV with US channels is provided. There is an enclosed parking area. There is a clothes washing machine and dryer as well.

This is a mixed Mexican and ex-pat or gringo neighborhood. We love the daily life in Mexico and the Casita de los Colibries offers this in a safe environment.

The food and artists markets are close, as well as tortilla shops, bakeries, health club, and SHOPPING! Ten minutes by car or taxi will get you to Tabojada Hot Springs.

All new furniture, appliances, washer, heaters, fans, purified water in the kitchen sink, hotel-style safe, plasma tv, stereo and radios with MP3 player plugs!

Beatrice, our maid, comes twice as week and her husband, Miguel, gardener & general maintenance guy, once a week.

Also hummingbirds abound on the 2nd floor deck and third floor tiled, covered seating area!

SMD keep's it's Heritage on the Jardin (Town Square) with nightly promenades and morning coffee! Casa de los Colibris is a short mile to the neo-Gothic Parroquia (Parish Church), Casa de Allende Museum, GREAT SHOPPING, SUPER RESTAURANTS. Theaters, 2nd largest library of English books, art and language schools, Artesanias, and the Plaza del Toros! Day trips include local natural hot springs and the cities of Guanajuato, Dolores Hidlago and Queretaro, the area known at the Bajio, the cradle of Mexico's independence. San Miguel is an art center with the highest ratio of art galleries per capita of any city in Mexico, also called the "Montmartre of Mexico" and compares to the art of Santa Fe, USA. International music festivals occur througout the year. The first two weeks of August the annual Chamber Music Festival is held at the Bellas Artes. Mexican Independence Day falls on September 16 and Fiesta de San Miguel is Sept. 29 -- when it's party time with dancing, parades, music, fireworks, and flags! San Miguel's natural beauty is found at 6100 ft. with birds, gardens, a Botanical Garden and great hiking. Third Sundays monthly, the Sociedad Audubon conducts a bird walk for the public. Weekly visits to local "showcase" homes leave from the Libarary Sunday morningings and take hundreds of visitors to see these lovely homes -- proceeds go to local children's organizations.

San Miguel de Allende is about 2 1/2 hours north of Mexico City. There is excellent first-class bus service from Mexico City to Queretaro or San Miguel de Allende. The nearest airport is Leon - Guanajuato Airport (BJX), about 1 1/2r away, and there is shuttle service (by reservation) available to San Miguel de Allende or we can help you arrange a private driver.

A rental car is not needed for San Miguel de Allende proper, but there are many day trips, Queteraro, Guanajuato, Delores Hildago and several local hot springs when a rental car is nice. San Miguel now has two large shopping areas on the outskirts of town easily reaced by car or taxi.

Owner Supplied Testimonials

Hola Carrell!
We had a fabulous time in
San Miguel and yes the Casita worked extremely well for us.
Beatrice and her husband were charming
We used the buses to go downtown (why wouldn't you)and found them very convenient. Almost got blown out of our beds on a Fiessta Sunday by all the fireworks explosions, thank goodness we had experienced that in Guanajuato or we would have thought there was another revolution going on. What charming people the Mexicans are! Thank you so much from us all, we really enjoyed our visit from New Zealand to Mexico!
Adios
Jocelyn
PS The washing machine was O.K.on the Eco.cycle while we
were there.
