Photos and Description of the Lima vacation house rental
House, 4 Bedrooms + Loft + Den, 4 Baths, (Sleeps 2-11)

'VILLA FELIZ' If you enjoy space...this is the house for you. Rent this wonderful San Miguel house where you can enjoy a fabulous vacation relaxing and having fun in this very private, charming, tranquil designer home.

Whether you are a couple or a group this villa is designed so visitors can have their own 'space'. Not just a bedroom door to close for privacy but two actual efficiency apartments in addition to the main house; a real retreat for an afternoon nap or an early morning cup of coffee.

Free Vonage phone service to and from the US and Canada. Broadband internet. Free Mexican Cooking Lessons

This house is described as four bedrooms but two of the “bedrooms” are separate apartments (only used in conjunction with the main house to provide additional privacy).

However at no time are these apartments used or rented separately from the main house. You will not share this house with other guests. Each efficiency apartment could be entered from a private walkway from the front entrance of the main house.

All beds have down pillows and comforters. Good natured maid/cook with a wonderful disposition loves to cook and will gladly teach you her Mexican recipes. Relax on the rooftop garden and marvel at the panoramic views and lovely sunsets while sipping a margarita. This is paradise! Visit the web site listed below to see what other guests have said about their vacation at Villa Feliz.

Villa Feliz is located in a very safe neighborhood; Enjoy concerts, lectures, plays, readings, dance performances and art openings held on a regular basis. The most popular restaurants, tennis, golf, gym, galleries and the Instituto Allende are within a short walk from Villa Feliz (no hills to climb).

San Miguel sits at 6300 feet providing warm sunny days and cool nights.

Villa Feliz sleeps 2 to 11 comfortably and rates depend on the time of the year and/or the number of persons - there is also a loft that sleeps four. Well behaved children are welcome.

Both Malena and Manuel are anxious for you to be comfortable and help you in any way they can. If requested Manuel, who speaks English, will take you to the super market where he can assist you with your original shopping trip.

Malena the cook/maid has the ability to 'spoil' guests and she really pleases anyone who walks through the front door. She has a wonderful disposition and always a smile and helpful nature.

There are many different areas to sit peacefully and relax or the grand sala and outdoor dining area where couples or individuals can meet together. The two connecting apartments are a big plus in this environment where everyone in your vacation group can have their separate 'space' when needed.

Why Cory Gray chose Lima

The owner built this designer villa from scratch: This house has the charm, comfort and convenience which she enjoys when in residence. She says, 'I can live anywhere in the world and my choice for the past 24 years has been to live in this delightful haven; San Miguel is perfect for me with the activities and culture available'

In addition to this lovely home the owner maintains a residence apartment in San Miguel where she spends time when there are guests at Villa Feliz and is always available to help and assist her guests.

What makes this house unique

The peaceful and very private ambiance of the entire house will entice guests to return to Villa Feliz. The house is located in a very safe neighborhood with very friendly Mexican and Gringo neighbors.

Charming hacienda property!

Wow! What a beautifully decorated home! Totally charming with no detail left untouched! Love the outdoor covered dining area / sitting area with beautiful garden. The penthouse suite was a separate apt! The wi- fi worked perfectly, too. The only drawback was that it's not a close walk to main square in town. The good news.. It was only 30 pesos in a taxi. Look forward to returning!

We Will Return

5 of 5
Submitted: May 7, 2012 Stayed: April 2012
Arrived late in the evening and when the doors opened to the house/courtyard it was a delight after a long, long day of traveling. The lights were on and Miguel was there to greet us. It was lovely....and the pot of soup in the refrigerator was very much appreciated.

The house is everything we had hoped for and we settled in very quickly to a relaxed lifestyle. The courtyard was a joy and we probably spent 80% of our waking 'at home' hours there., There is nothing glitzy about this house, but a warmth and charm of a colonial style adobe that is most inviting.

Malena was always willing to help us and was eager to cook and serve us breakfast. I believe she was feeling bad because we are not big breakfast eaters, and my husband had a slight flu bug while there, so eating wasn't at the top of our priorities. She loves to make eggs Mexican style...delicious.

San Miguel is a delight to visit and during the two weeks we made the city our home we didn't begin to see or experience what there is to do. However, we did find that the area is well worth the visit and we are already trying to work up a date to return...to San Miguel and especially to Casa Feliz.

We thank Cory for her hospitality...and look forward to not only another stay in her home, but of course another visit over a cup of coffee (Cafe Monet).

Beautiful and spacious example of a Mexican villa; Malena kept it clean and tidy. Both the courtyard and rooftop garden were great spots to relax. 10 minute walk to Institute, Biblioteque; 15 minutes to El Jardin, market etc. Beautiful living room and dining space in the courtyard, great master bedroom and ensuite. Lots of space and privacy for larger group. Upstairs apt (though pretty and comfortable) not suitable for those with mobility issues (outdoor stairs).

Very beautiful house, plenty of privacy, very well decorated, classic Mexican experience...

4 of 5
Submitted: March 20, 2012 Stayed: January 2012
I travel all over the world for work and have rented houses on VRBO for many of the locations. This house is really one of the most beautiful. The photos do not fully capture how tasteful and amazing this house is. The decor is top notch, nothing tacky or cheap.

Besides the spacious courtyard and roof patio, one of the best things is that the three main bedrooms are completely isolated from each other allowing for plenty of privacy. All three bedrooms have their own bathroom as well. Utilizing the 4th bedroom barely changes things at all.

The house is located a bit away from the main part of town. It is walkable and not too difficult to figure out. At night, you will have to use a taxi most likely.

The owner is very friendly and easy to communicate with. She supplies you with a long list of recommendations and advice. It is probably in your best interest to tip the maid the amount that is recommended.

Girls Get Away

Villa Feliz is exactly as described and pictured! Malena and Jose were very accommodating and welcomed us with open arms (and chicken soup!) We went to SMA for a girls get away and we got just that! The Villa was immaculate and in a centrally located area. We felt very safe during our stay and found the locals to be very helpful.

We saw and recommend the light show at the church in town on Friday nights and we had a day of beauty and pampering at the Shanti Spa.

Many thanks to the owner, Cory! She provided us with all the resources needed to make our stay a memorable one. Cory called to make sure we arrived safe and then again upon our departure to make sure our stay was as expected. In would recommend Villa Feliz to travelers looking for superior accommodations!
