Photos and Description of the San Miguel de Allende vacation house rental
4 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, sleeps 14

This wonderful house designed by Eduardo Obregon Pêna incorporates classical Mexican design with free flowing lines. The 25 by 7 foot skylight lets in the almost always sunny Mexican sky. It warms the house in winter and the specially designed shade cover keeps it cool in summer. Four bedrooms and four full baths accommodate 8 guests in perfect comfort. A guest lavatory is off the front entrance and a service lavatory is available for the staff. The kitchen is placed behind the center fireplace, affording privacy when needed or company when desired. Indoor and outdoor dining areas each accommodate 8 to 10 people. The downstairs master bedroom also has a fireplace to add charm and heat to the chillier winter nights.

The living room is the center of activity. Off it flow the reading nook, the den, the kitchen, the indoor dining area as well as the master bedroom. Just through the French doors is the downstairs garden terrace complete with gurgling fountain. On the downstairs terrace, you can sit and have cocktails while looking at the adjoining wall, covered with Bougainvilleas, Durantas, Bamboo and Jasmine, visited often by hummingbirds. The protected terrace also invites dining outside, with a charcoal BBQ adding just the right outdoorsy touch.

Just around the flowered wall is a hot tub, that is a possible added option to be used by renters. It is also sometimes used by the adjoining Casita, that can provide 1 to 3 extra bedrooms, in the case of large special event gatherings.

On the second floor is the second king master bedroom, with its own bathroom, and cozy little private terrace. Also on the second floor are the two twin bedrooms, one with an adjoining shower and the other with a Jacuzzi, loved by all. One of the twin bedrooms is also equipped as an office, with the Internet router, a 5-in one Epson printer, scanner, fax, copier; An office away from the office.

There are so many things to do of interest in San Miguel; one doesn't have time to watch much television. However there are four televisions provided with cable service, with the basic American programs, also equipped with DVD players, for those who want to stay home and quietly watch a movie.

No need to pack your hairdryer. Each bathroom is equipped with one, as well as body cream, face wipes, soap, Que-tips, and shampoo.

Terraces abound with the roof serving as a comfortable seating area to view the sunset, the rooftops of the town and the beautiful Gothic Parroquia, that marks the center of town, only a few minutes walk away.

Full time excellent bi-lingual staff to care for you; to do the laundry, cleaning, shopping for meals, buying an arranging flowers for the house, cooking. The staff cook can also be hired for special cocktails, hors d'oeuvres, and dinners. Just relax and enjoy your vacation. This house is basically furnished with adults in mind, although the occasional well behaved child can also be accommodated.

Through the laundry room is the garage, It is in use by the owner but on special occasions, arrangements can be made for visitor use, and it is available usually in the summer and early fall months. There is a parking lot conveniently located just 500 feet away from the house. Normally one doesn't need a vehicle for in town visits, just a few minutes by foot and you are anywhere you may want to go.

For smokers, we prefer that you do not smoke in the house but there are oodles of outdoor spaces where you can puff away. Ashtrays provided.

Be sure to contact me by email as i am often traveling.

Exceeded Expectations

I bought a painting at a studio near our vacation home in the Fl. Panhandle two years ago. The name of it was 'Up on the Roof' painted by a local artist who was in SMA on a rooftop terrace painting and saw these 3 pots on the terrace below. The painting called to me as did the lure of SMA. I had just sold my business and travel was calling.
I am familiar with VRBO and have had great luck with previous rentals. I began looking at SMA and knew I wanted to be in the Centro/Historico district. I also knew that 4 women needed 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms (if we were lucky). There were many to choose from, but, I kept returning to Casa Harriette. The description, the photos and the owner's profile were all too tempting.
There isn't anything that I can say that hasn't been said by the accurate and enthusiastic description of the owner. The skylight is the 'bomb'! We were bathed in sunlight. The entire place was immaculate. The furnishings way comfortable and art abounds. Would not have changed one thing except maybe add another week.
Harriette was completely welcoming, totally gracious, interesting and interested. Very available for local tips and offerings. I speak for myself, but, I know we all felt appreciative and lucky to have come in contact with someone so multidimensional.
San Miguel de Allende abounds with charm, history, art and more art, reasonably priced restaurants with great food and industrious, hard working, Mexicans. The city was clean as can be (sidewalks are washed with brushes); there is a festival feeling in the Jardin, and Juarez Park is walkable and lush.
Like I said--would NOT have changed a thing! Nada!

This casa is rated excellent, beyond five star excellent. The owner has described it perfectly and the photos are wonderfu,l but can't begin to show how every room works really well. The art is great. There is not one thing our group would change. (A group of 4 women) The place is immaculately clean....every day. The owner is generous, knowledgable,and checked in with us just the right amount. The location is perfect to the center of town. I realize I am using a lot of superlatives but that is what this place deserves. I promise you....this is the place to rent.

Owner's Response: Great fun to have this vibrant group of women having a break away from their daily lives. All interesting people, they seemed to really enjoy the town, although they couldn't do everything this time. I look forward to their return visit.

We went with all our family to San Miguel for New Year....we expected to find a comfortable
place, to enjoy these Holidays...the Casita surpassed all expectations!!!!
We rented the big house and the apartment...the distribution of the house,the comfortable
furniture, wonderful lighting, the cozy fireplaces, all the necessary kitchen facilities and appliances,
and the great helpers included with the rent made our New year's dinner an unforgettable experience.
We recommend this property with no reservations....The place is as great as the pictures make it look!!!

Owner's Response: It was a pleasure to have such a lovely big well behaved family enjoying my house for New Years. I am thrilled they chose my house for all their gatherings instead of the second, even more expensive, house they rented to accommodate the rest of their group. It is gratifying when one's efforts are appreciated.
