This home is in top condition and even thought it looks 300 years old, it was built in 1997. So it has all the latet conceniences. That is the reason the rooms are so large; it was a vacant lot in Centro so we didn't have to stay within the confines of the walls that are protected by San Miguel's historic committee. There are 2 grills; 2 wetbars; a wine cellar, etc. etc. At 9500 sq. ft., it is large enough for tons of private space plus tons of gathering rooms when you are ready to rejoin the group. Really nothing else like it on the rental market in Centro.

About Sandra Ippolite

I have been doing this with VRBO with various properties for 25

years.

Sandra Ippolite purchased this house in 2008
Why Sandra Ippolite chose San Miguel de Allende

This is the most luxurious home for rent in Centro. It is also located in the 'high rent' district of Parque Juarez, where all the 5-Star hotels are located. Comprable prices for this home in these hotels run at over $600 per night per room and is not comprable in size of rooms, privacy of whole house and staff and luxury! Pamper yourself and come to Casa Alhambra. You will love it.

The home here makes you happy with all the light and features. It is not dark and drab like most of the homes in SMA.

What makes this house unique

LIGHT, BRIGHT, 9,500 SQ. FT. OF LUXURIOUS LIVING.

Experience the Luxury of Old Mexico

5 of 5
Submitted: March 29, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
If you like the ambiance of Parador de Granada at the Alhambra, the Museum Hotel in Cappadocia or Inkaterra at Machu Picchu, you'll love Casa Alhambra! The furnishings and folk art transport you to another world. The terrace gives you a completely different view of SMA. We enjoyed exchanging greetings and stories with the locals on adjacent terraces.
Centro location was everything we hoped for and more - delicious restaurants (try Monet Cafe for a leisurely lunch, favorite dinner was The Restaurant), fabulous shopping and Sense spa at the Rosewood. The staff was devoted to our comfort. Lupe whipped up interesting and scrumptious breakfasts.
All in all it was a magical experience. Our 20 month old granddaughter went around the gardens and kissed all the frog planters goodbye on our last day.

Great House - Great Location

5 of 5
Submitted: March 19, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
We really enjoyed the house and staff at Casa Alhambra. The location is perfect and the house was more than suitable for our group of 12 (6 couples). Meals cooked by Lupe were outstanding. The housekeeper Sol, did a wonderful job keeping the place clean. Jorge the maintenance man was more than helpful in helping us to translate our needs and making suggestions.

The bedrooms were large, bathrooms had great showers and plenty of room. The house was stocked with towels and plenty of pillows and blankets.

The pool was a bit cold. Solar heated means the sun heats the pool. So while it got hot during the day the nights cooled off and the pool never warmed up.

The house has a lot of seating areas but most were adequate for 5-7 people. They could use to lounge chairs on the roof.

When headed back to SMA we will stay at this place again.

Perfect Retreat in SMA

5 of 5
Submitted: March 19, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
Our group of 12 (6 couples) just loved this place. We used every inch of it and enjoyed everything this house has to offer. The rooms were all spacious and the beds were comfortable. The cook, Lupe, prepared authentic Mexican meals. The housekeeper, Sol, keep the place organized and neat. The gem was Erica and Jorge. Erica was the house manager and she helped us get all settled in. Jorge is the gardener and speaks very good English, he helped us set up ATV rides, meals and more. It was nice to have someone make calls for you and get you all set up.

The solar heated pool is a bit of a stretch. By solar heated they mean the sun heats the pool. it was a bit to cool for us to use but it was still nice to sit by.

The location of this house is perfect. You are a short walk to anything.

I did read a few bad reviews before staying. We didn't have any issues.
1) Sandra is a bit slow to respond but she did a great job answering all our questions.
2) The place does lack large seating areas. While our group of 12 could all eat together the pool has a seating area for 5-7, the roof 5.-7 and the courtyard 5-7. It wasn't a big deal as many of us were coming and going.

Everything we hoped it would be and more

5 of 5
Submitted: March 12, 2013 Stayed: February 2013
Casa Alhambra is an oasis that totally lives up to its description. What the description doesn't show is how wonderful the staff are. I loved planing meals with Lupe, the cook and then coming to breakfast or dinner and first enjoying the beautiful presentation before eating. Sol, the housekeeper, kept everything running smoothly, including showing us how to get the Internet working and even taking a group photo before we left. I brought a group of nine for a 'yoga vacation' and it exceeded everyone's expectations. We loved the location and the house was amazing. I couldn't imagine a better choice in San Miguel. It wasn't exactly pool weather but a few went in and the rest of us did yoga by the pool, on the roof (at sunset) and even in a bedroom. The house is elegant, warm, inviting and magical! Best place for a group.

The house is very well located and BIG. There is a feel of old Mexico and Spain in the house. Our party of 4 was cozy, could have been more. The housekeeper and cook were great. We felt cared for—and more. What an ambiance.
