Photos and Description of the San Miguel de Allende vacation house rental 3 Bedrooms, 3.75 Baths, Sleeps 6

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; five fireplaces 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 with three bedrooms--including two master suites-- and 3.75 baths comfortably accommodates six adults or family groups. The main floor includes a main sala, dining room seating eight next to a lovely terrace with terrific views; two fireplaces; a large sitting room with a boveda ceiling; and a wonderful new 12X20' kitchen with granite and new everything!

Further details for this vacation house rental in San Miguel de Allende, Central Mexico / Colonial Circuit

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.

Review Submitted: January 10, 2009 Date of Stay: January 2009
We just spent the month of Dec. 2008 at this lovely home, it could"nt be more comfortable.
Every body was so accomodating, from San Miguel management, "small problem", to Belen, the maid,who cooked Christmas Eve dinner for 11 of us. When we were not sure we understood her she had her son, Salvador call us. He told us we were ordering way too much.
The best of all, Michelle, the owner was most gracious when we told her we would be arriving around midnight, she sent us keys so Belen would'nt have to be there to let us in.
We enjoyed the roof top patio for the beautiful view and the perfect weather, high 70's.
This was the fifth house we have rented in San Miguel, and this was the best.

Review Submitted: September 6, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
Hello Future Renters, I had a wonderful stay at Casa Allegra for 10days in August. Even though it did thunderstorm and rain every night, the days were perfect and with the rains come fantastic green landscapes.
There were only 2 of us but this home would be very comfortable for 3 couples or 3 individuals that require their own bed/bath. Very helpful housekeeper, Belen that kept everything fresh and clean.
We always walked down to the Center and Jardin(Garden park) and jumped in a cab for the ride back up the hill.
Always easy to do...on a few occasions that we ventured back to the Center for dinner reservations (had a great experience seeing a dinner show with Doc Severson) at the Primo Bistro Restaurant..then just wandered after dinner people watching and looking at the wonderful lights of the Church. We took a day trip organized by the Institute, to see the towns that are associated with the fight for Independence way back when....took us to Delorez Hildago and then on to Guanajuato..a perfect city full of colorful hillside buildings..painters delight.
Just being able to relax after the long days with the perfect view from the patios and the quiet from the city center was great. There are so many wonderful galleries/shops to wander al of the streets, maybe start your first day with one of the walking tours to get your bearings and then just pick any direction from the Jardin and start walking..be sure to wear very comfortable sturdy shoes as the streets are cobblestone with high curbs. The Owners are super helpful and will give you all of the best info on how to get from the airport to the home with absolutely no hassels. There are so many good restaurants and cafes to stop for a latte, lunch or dinner..We usually found a late breakfast spot and then had a meal before heading back up to the house before dark. Very clean and safe city...get the free maps and brochure the first day from the Information center near the Jardin and you will have plenty to do...

The Pictures of the house do not begin to reveal the graciousness of the space. It is elegant, comfortable and homey all at once. The owners have made the house for entertaining and the outdoor spaces and the view could not be more spectacular. Michelle, you are a wonderful hostess, thanks for making San Miguel that much better!

As someone already posted here, the pictures of this house do not do it justice! It's spectacular, with several patios and balconies for your viewing and relaxing pleasure. A short walk down the hill and you're in the center of everything. Also, the Botanical Garden is not too far away - great location.
