This San Miguel de Allende vacation rental has Intimate Gardens and Sunset Views . . . located in San Miguel's Historical Theater District

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. Our San Miguel de Allende vacation property has 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 de Allende'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 San Miguel de Allende'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. A 'main house' rental . . . ALWAYS includes the 'guest house' . . . 'Casita de las Estrellas'. 'Moorish' in design, this multi-level adjacent 'casita' has a sitting area, kitchenette, loft, bedroom (queen bed), and a mosaic-tiled bath. Private, yet connected to the 'main house', it affords additional privacy for your group.

This exceptional San Miguel de Allende vacation home has been tastefully furnished throughout with antiques, Mexican handicrafts and the owner's personal collection of original art and artifacts from around the world. 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! Our 'house boy' 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 San Miguel de Allende vacation home . . . it is an experience!
