This house is a study in sophisticated elegance.

Colors are black, white and subtle shades of blue.

High ceilings are either with vigas (beams) or are boveda (domed brick).

Furniture is eclectic and shows the continental background of the owner.

We enter an arched hallway with a boveda ceiling imprinted with diamond shapes.

The first of three bedrooms has an iron heart over the doorway. It has an iron canopy bed and an iron balcony overlooking the garden.

The primary bedroom has a carved four-poster bed and a bow window with a French inspired loveseat.

All bathrooms are pristine white and luxuriously tiled.

The dining room juxtaposes Italian leather chairs with a cerise (whitewashed) table.

The kitchen has a marble island and whimsical tiled cherubs frolic over the stove.

A raised breakfast balcony looks down onto the kitchen through a scrolled iron railing.

The expansive living room has a high boveda ceiling with a cupula.

The massive carved stone fireplace is flanked by niches filled with ivy.

A bay of French doors opens onto a terrace overlooking manicured gardens.

Climbing ivy gives a castle-like feeling to the exterior.

Gardens surround the house with fountains, a variety of flowering plants and even topiary bushes!

This house could be anywhere in the world; where better would you like to imagine it than San Miguel?
