Fountain Of Life San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato

Holiday Rental Description

Between the baroque buildings of San Miguel de Allende’s historic core, stepping into this home is to leave the world behind. Set around the tranquillity of a courtyard, where a fountain trickles away in the centre and walls are alive with botanica, the tangerine walls of this building hide myriad surprises.

Perhaps the most striking surprise is the hot tub on the terrace, looking into the trees. There’s a barbecue area outside, with pretty mosaic tables, a gas grill for cooking and an azulejo-tiled bar for a batch of margaritas.

Or, head inside and cook in the beautiful kitchen instead. A range-style cooker sits beneath an old flue, with a pretty blue and yellow mosaic backdrop. Stained-glass windows create a serving hatch between the kitchen and dining room. The grand lounge is illuminated by candelabra, suspended from the vaulted brick ceiling. Light a fire in the grate to keep things cosy on cooler evenings. Heading up to bed, you’ll find hotel-suite-style bedrooms and the master has its own fireplace and balcony.

This villa sits on one of the most prestigious streets in the city, right next to Parque Juárez. The city’s best bars, restaurants and its famous art scene is a short walk away, and retiring to your quiet villa is bliss after a day of exploring.
