This colonial-era house is in the historical center of Guanajuato, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is located at the intersection of two pedestrian streets. It has been newly renovated to U.S. standards with potable water, a great shower, good lighting, WiFi, a well equipped kitchen, and comfortable furniture. Stairs from the street door lead to the master bedroom and a separate study with shared bath. For convenience, there is a 'dumb waiter' to take luggage and groceries to second and third floors. Above the living area there is a private sun-drenched terrace with fabulous 360-degree views. Most evenings the Callejoneadas (student musicians), dressed in traditional Spanish costumes, lead groups singing along the historic streets. Its great location makes for easy walking to the markets, a plethora of restaurants, the university, museums, shopping, and the Jardin Union, the social heart of the city.

House details: There is a washing machine and clothesline on the roof. Ceiling fans are in the bedroom, study and living room/ dining area. The bedroom has a flat screen TV/DVD player (no cable), good storage, bedside reading lights, a safe in the closet and a balcony. The living area has music with a large selection of CD’s. There are telephones for local calls only. No smoking is allowed in the house or on the roof. No pets. No children. The house sleeps two comfortably but does have a single sofa/bed in the study. The bathroom is between the bedroom and study. The half bath is located on the third floor near the living room and dining area.

Across the cobblestone walkway from the house is the San Roque church that is over 350 years old. The charming Plaza San Roque a few steps away is a principal venue for the Festival International Cervantino, one of Latin America’s most renowned cultural festivals. For a better map view go to google 'Templo San Roque Guanajuato Mexico'.

We loved it! Casa San Roque offers location, comfort, security and cultural immersion. A cozy casita perfectly suited for those who want to feel the authentic pulse of Mexican life. Situated in the very heart of this ancient Spanish colonial city, it is easy walking distance to everything in the centro one would want to see or need to do. At the intersection of two pedestrian-only streets, there are no fumes or traffic noises from cars, trucks or buses. The sounds of daily life in a small Mexican city are all around. Children play games in the street; bells toll; dogs bark; gas and water men call out their presence in the neighborhood. In the evening, Renaissance-garbed troubadours (“estudiantinas”) stroll by serenading their following tourists just beneath the windows. Street musicians, actors and mimes play in the plazuelas. Fortunately, the sleeping hours between 11:00 p.m. and 8 a.m. are usually serenely quiet.

Your living and sleeping quarters, filled with folk art from all around the world, are high above the bustle of the street, affording you the option of observing the pageant below from a safe and secure vantage point, or else opening the door and joining the locals going about their daily activities. The casa is light and bright, nicely furnished, with a generously outfitted kitchen, comfortable beds, and a wonderful housekeeper! The owner is lovely to communicate with and happy to help in any way.

Guanajuato is an amazing city of more pedestrian lanes than streets. We were amazed to find so many cultural opportunities: symphony, classical concerts, movies, lectures, plays, and national/international talent performing in Teatro Juarez. The Guanajuato International Film Festival and the International Cervantes Festival are worth planning an entire trip around. We walked everywhere day and evening enjoying the street life, the parks and plazas, markets, restaurants, music, etc. A few restaurants we enjoyed: Mestizos, Casa Valadez, Chao Bella, El Abue.

ENJOY!

Owner's Response: As our guests discovered, Guanajuato is a "happening" Mexican culture. We hope you can stay in our house and enjoy exploring this colonial city.

We whole heartily recommend this townhome. The owner’s description is spot on. GTO is a walking city and we found it to be an easy walk from the townhome to the center of the city, museums, shops, restaurants, markets and theaters. We always felt safe walking, day or night.
The house was very clean and comfortable, and the overall ambiance and the variety of folk art are delightful. Although we often dined out, we found it easy to buy food and prepare it in the well-equipped kitchen. Also, knowing that the kitchen had potable water was reassuring.
The living/dining area was a bright and airy place to enjoy our meals and just spend time relaxing. The bedroom and study were attractive and the beds comfortable – we slept well.
The townhome is on a pedestrian-only street. We found our neighbors to be friendly and helpful with any questions we had. Upon arrival it was quite convenient for the taxi to drop us off at the hotel just down the street and then walk about 50 yards to the house on Calle San Roque.

Owner's Response: It was so nice to have guests enjoy the "casa" and Guanajuato as I do when I am there. It is a very special place. We have added another reading light to the living room area as suggested.
I am working on a foot stool for the couches. Cheers. Meta
