This house is an example of what can be accomplished with a deep narrow building.
A powder room with a “pila seca” (dry baptismal font) is visible as you enter.
Proceeding, we come to a compact galley kitchen with a small dining table nearby.
A large fountain is surrounded by plantings beneath a skylight.
The first bedroom has a four-poster wooden and iron canopy bed.
Other bedrooms have elaborately carved beds.
Bathrooms are tiled in amber-colored marble.
Walk up the stairway with Dolores Hidalgo tiles and admire its elaborate iron railings.
That will bring you to a rooftop with a bright orange-tiled BBQ counter.
Visitors will be rewarded with a panoramic view of many churches.
The lower level has a small sala (living room) with fireplace and entertainment center.
We enjoyed this exercise in good space planning!
Casa San Miguel is a grand and gracious Mexican home that exudes warmth and elegance.
It is a reconstruction of a 300-year-old home.
With its original three-foot thick adobe walls, it combines the style and charm of the colonial period with all the modern comforts and conveniences, including a heated pool, mini-kitchens and private patios for all bedrooms.
Enter the vine covered courtyard and hear the electronic grand piano which is playing in the “sala” or living room.
You will see many enchanting terraces with flowing fountains.
Some say this is the most beautiful kitchen in San Miguel!
Visitors always remark, “This is MY bedroom”, when they see the grand master bedroom complete with its own room for a steeping tub.
