San Miguel de Allende House Summary

Casa de Alegria (House of Joy) combines the best of colonial design with a modern sensibility: large rooms in sophisticated Mexican colors; tile floors, baths and kitchen; huge windows, skylights and an atrium, drenching the house in light; and fabulous, inspiring views from the front terrace, large roof-top patios, living areas and master suites. Our fully-furnished, art- and plant-filled home is located in the lower Los Balcones area. It has spectacular 360-degree views, including 60-mile views of the nearby canyon, San Miguel and sunsets over the Guanajuato mountains. Our freshly-painted, 3,200-square-foot home comfortably accommodates six adults or family groups. The main level--which has recently been completely redecorated--encompasses an elegant dining room that seats eight, with a tall, curved, brick ceiling called a boveda; a separate sitting room with a high-efficiency non-vented fireplace and boveda ceiling.

Location of House 147335

Nearest airport:   Queretero at 45 Miles

From our home's quiet hillside location, it is an easy 7-10 minute walk downhill to town, the daily Mercado, and the Jardin - the main square and epicenter of life in San Miguel. A 10-minute walk in the other direction brings you to the Botanical Gardens for viewing native plants, birdwatching, strolling beside the lake, or jogging along its trails

Notes: Throughout the main level, light pours from numerous windows, skylights and an interior atrium with a spiral staircase leading to our large, two-part roof-top terrace/garden with a glass-topped dining table for six next to an entertainment center with a gas/charcoal BBQ plus a built-in refrigerator, as well as the sunning terrace with chaise lounges and a large umbrella. With their 360-degree views of town, the mountains and well beyond, the terraces are perfect for a margarita in the evening when thousands of birds fly in formation down the canyon. Our kitchen renovation/expansion was completed in June, 2007. The new 11x19 kitchen includes a boveda ceiling; all-new high-end appliances; granite counter tops with a travertine and terracotta tile backsplash; a pull-out pantry; a bar/work area overlooking the atrium and sitting room; built-in hutch; purified water at the sink and all-new dishes and cookware. The main floor also has a charming, sky-lit half bath with talavera tiles.


San Miguel de Allende House Details

Casa de Alegria has two entries. You can come up the front steps through the lush garden to the bedroom level. Or, park in the house's secure gated, covered parking area - which is next to a small, quiet neighborhood park - and enter directly onto the main living floor. On the lower level, there is also a laundry room with full-sized washer and dryer, plus a small open 'drying patio.' Maid services three days per week (18 hours) and gardener services twice a week are included in your rental. Belen, our very sweet housekeeper, cleans, does your laundry and will cook your breakfast or 'comida' (mid-day meal) upon request. Though her repertoire is mainly limited to Mexican and Italian food, Belen is a very good cook. All taxes are included in your rental as well.

If you are interested in renting Casa de Alegria, we will send you a very informative fact sheet on the house, getting to San Miguel, making arrangements for your stay, etc. We also employ an excellent property management company. They are very responsive and will deal quickly with any need you have or issue that may arise during your time at Casa de Alegria. Note: Due to its high balconies and roof-top terraces, Casa de Alegria is not suitable for children under six.

Other Activities: Hot Air Ballooning, Shopping, Spa
