April 2025Exceptional
The casa is exactly as described. It is beautiful, comfortable and has everything you need. Carrie and Bill are delightful people. They were very accommodating and provided lots of information from restaurants to tours . We enjoyed staying there and visiting the lovely town of San Miguel.”

April 2025Hidden gem!
This is one of those rare reviews that is hard to write, and not because it wasn't wonderful, but because everything was so perfect you're a little nervous about sharing your find with too many people! The photos on Thirdhome of La Casa de la Alegria looked amazing, but it was even better in person - beautiful styling and architecture, luxurious amenities, privacy, and so much more. For a "casita" we expected it to be much smaller than it was but the bedroom, bathroom, kitchen/dining/living area, and rooftop terrace were spacious and provided the two of us with so much room to relax in when we weren't walking virtually everywhere given the awesome location near Parque Benito Juarez, Jardin Allende, and the Zona Centro. Everything was in terrific condition, and the daily maid service was a very nice touch! As first time visitors to San Miguel de Allende, our hosts were extremely helpful in providing personal recommendations for everything from restaurants and shopping to day trips and local transportation options. Communications were a breeze and they were extremely timely and responsive to all of our inquiries before and during our stay. This is one of those rare properties you keep on your shortlist for follow-up trips!”

This was our first experience with Third Home, and we're now spoiled for life! No detail was omitted when the owners designed this place. I highly recommend it - perfect for a couple visiting SMA! Thank you, Carrie & Bill!”
