Description

You can have it all! True 18th century charm and 21st century convenience on San Miguel’s oldest street, in a quiet, desirable neighborhood just three blocks from San Miguel’s elegant, festive Jardin. This beautiful home is charming and comfortable, offering bright, colorful interiors, gracious outdoor living, and stunning views.

The king bedroom has doors leading to a plant-screened terrace, with a king-size bed, a walk-in closet, and tiled bath and shower. It looks out onto the town, sky, and distant mountains. This bedroom can be heated and cooled by a mini-split unit.

The queen bedroom has a garden balcony and a vaulted boveda ceiling, with a queen-size bed, and its own walk-in closet, tiled shower, and private studio. It looks out onto the house garden. This bedroom can be heated and cooled by a mini-split unit.

The twins bedroom has twin beds, a walk-in closet, and tiled bath and shower, and its own living area. It looks out onto the house garden.

All bedrooms share an internal stairway to rooftop terraces with extraordinary views of the Parroquia and town, lake, mountains, and sunsets. Lie in the sun on chaise lounges or sit in shade under the tiled veranda.

You’ll love your choices for relaxation and enjoyment throughout this thoroughly modern home with 18th century walls. In the living room you’ll find overstuffed sofas and chairs, a hand-built fireplace, and thick, warmly colored walls. In the dining room you may gather for meals at a long country table. The brightly tiled kitchen is ready for cooking or for being served.

Relax in the stone patio by a sprinkling tile and stone fountain. Sit outdoors at stone tables or in the cool shade of the outdoor sala with its overstuffed sofas and chairs.

Our WiFi is the best that can be offered: fiber optic network; highest speed available; mesh network to send signals around thick adobe walls. Guests report that they can easily have two video conferences at the same time on different laptops.

This home is located in the sweet spot of San Miguel. It is close enough to the Jardin to be convenient, yet far enough to be quiet. It is high enough on the hill to have spectacular views, yet not so high that you dread walking home. The house is directly across the street from the home of a famed telenovela actress, close to taxis, and within short walks to everything, only three blocks from the Jardin.

There is parking on the street and a supervised parking lot is close by, but San Miguel is a walker's town, and you don't need (or really want) a car. The neighborhood has its own wonderful little bar, El Manantial, that was recently featured as not-to-be-missed in the New York Times feature, 36 hours in San Miguel de Allende.

Magical San Miguel Casa

Just back from my first visit to San Miguel de Allende, and this charming home was so perfect! The location puts it within easy walking distance of great bars, shops, and the town square. The house itself is exactly as seen and described - if not more charming than noted. Gorgeous indoor/outdoor living with impeccable plants creates a calming, luxurious setting. The people supporting this home - from Jay, the owner, to Luis, the property manager, to Maria Luisa, the housekeeper were so kind and helpful. A true vacation destination - the sights and food scene are unbelievable. I have never been in a city with so many lovely rooftop bars and restaurants. I hope to return to this city and Casa Cielo soon! ”

Fantastic Stay!

The home easily accommodated 6 adults with a great dining area, a cozy spot for cards and every amenity you could think of. The rooftop deck has a spectacular view of the city and is beautifully landscaped. The interior courtyard gives the home a wonderful indoor/outdoor feel. The home was spotless and a housekeeper came twice while we were there. The owner checked in with us during our stay to make sure we were comfortable. You can tell the decor has been lovingly collected over the years, giving such warmth and charm. The owners thoughtfully provided a detailed guest book. We would return here.”

Our favorite stay in San Miguel!

Casa Cielo - our 5th exchange in San Miguel - was by far our favorite. Jay has thought of everything, and with the help of the delightful Maria Luisa, the home runs like a well-oiled machine . . . which is not true for all the places we stayed. The garden is gorgeous, and beds incredibly comfortable, and the water is drinkable (again, not a given in most places) We highly recommend staying at Casa Cielo! ”
