The home was designed by Eliazar Torres to combine 18th century charm with 21st century convenience; professionally decorated by Carl Selph to delight the senses; plantscaped by Tim Wachter to create an oasis of rest and calm. This home is in the best area of town, near the residence of Antonio Banderas, close to buses and within short walks to everything, only three blocks from the Jardin. There is parking on the street and a supervised facility is close by.
Ariana, the maid, comes to clean and change the linens. She can also cook for you. The property is also professionally managed by an English speaking manager who is always on call in case you have any problems. Susan Page, noted author, San Miguel resident, and founder of the SMA Authors' Sala, calls this house one of her top five favorites in town!

Here's a poem a guest wrote:
The omnipresent tinkling, sprinkling, splashing sound of water
The glittering visitation of humming birds and colorful relatives
The flittering dance of monarchs on their northward journey
The amazing vista from the terrace
The heat of the sun
The delight of the breeze
The coolness of the courtyard and sala
The cooing of the doves
The awesome colors of the ever different sunsets with their turquoises, reds, oranges, pinks, mauves, purples, lavender
The earth tones of terra cotta, ochre, and yellow of rough walls
The old, low doorways and modern décor
All work to make a retreat spent at Casa del Granado into a treat to be treasured
