'Casa de la Espiga' - Property ID 9490

Step behind these walls and experience a different place in time. Just a three-minute walk from the town's main plaza, this original Spanish Colonial home (dating back to 1717AD) has been lovingly restored well beyond its original grandeur. Lush courtyard gardens, surrounded by original stone walls and gracefully arched columns leading to the interior rooms afford the ultimate in indoor/outdoor living.

For fifty years prior, 'Casa de la Espiga' was a local bakery . . . hence its name which translates to: 'House of the Grain Flower'.

Relax, dine, and entertain your guests in these private patios taking full advantage of San Miguel's nearly perfect climate. Or if you prefer, settle cozily indoors in the elegant yet comfortable 'sala' in front of the hand-carved fireplace, or take your meals in the formal domed dining room. Two comfortable first floor bedrooms, one with a king bed and one with a queen, each with its own full bath, are accessible from the courtyard as well.

On the second level the more rustic art studio opens onto the expansive sun-drenched roof terraces, with views of the town's stunning skyline and mountain sunsets. The studio also serves as an additional bedroom, as it has a double futon and spacious bath with shower and oversized tub. For larger groups, an additional 'casita' (guesthouse) is available upon request.

This exceptional home has been tastefully furnished throughout with antiques, Mexican handicrafts and the owner's personal collection of original art and artefacts from around the world. Colorful Mexican tiles line the walls of the la...

Colorful Mexican tiles line the walls of the large, fully equipped kitchen, where indigenous ceramics and eclectic market paintings are whimsically displayed. Cable television, surround sound, and a library of books, video's and cd's are provided for your enjoyment.

'Casa de la Espiga' has a wonderful full-time staff who utterly exude the 'Warmth of Mexico'. Tactfully unobtrusive, 'Josefina' is there to maintain the household and look after your every need. Best of all, her memorable Mexican recipes rival those of any restaurant in San Miguel . . . and she LOVES to cook . . . a real 'Like Water for Chocolate' experience! 'Chay' tends to the garden and outdoor spaces and will cheerfully help out wherever he is needed. Their job is to make sure that you feel pampered throughout your stay.

'Casa de la Espiga' is not just a home . . . it is an experience!
