Step back in time and experience the elegance of another era, to a place filled with romance, tranquility, and laughter. Enjoy the sanctuary of your own private 450 year-old ex-hacienda, located midway between San Miguel de Allende and Guanajuato in the beautiful colonial heart of Mexico. We are located in a sleepy, safe village, with more than 50 rooms and 40,000 square feet under roof, and surrounded by 10 walled-in acres filled with lush gardens. Las Trancas is the perfect setting for destination weddings, family reunions, workshops, birthdays, special events or vacation with friends.
This fabulous vacation rental includes all meals, horseback riding, mountain bikes, private cybex gym, and heated pool, plus a full-time staff of 18. Why rent a house when you can rent an entire hacienda?
This huge, old ex-hacienda is situated outside Dolores Hidalgo in a small, safe, friendly village. Once a presidio, or fort, used to guard the caravans laden with silver along the Camino Real in 1567, it became a hacienda in the 1700's. Walls are meter-thick adobe. The haciendas were the castles of Mexico. This hacienda at one time owned nearly a million acres. It has housed the likes of Padre Hidalgo and Pancho Villa. Now the entire hacienda is available as a vacation rental, and it can house your special group.
Beautiful, rustic elegance, furnished with colonial antiques and local artisan pieces. Staff includes cooks, maids, gardeners, bilingual manager, massage therapists with spa services on site, and stable/pool personnel. Luxurious bedding with thousand thread-count linens and feather beds, plus down duvets. There are 11 suites with private bath, with satellite TV and high-speed wireless internet, propane fireplaces, hot-and-cold water dispensers, sitting area, private terraces, and beautiful views of the Sierra Madres.
The pool is heated with a dozen solar panels to assure year-round comfort, and features a pool-side jacuzzi. We have beds for up to 36 people. All meals are included, and use of horses, exercise facility, and mountain bikes are complimentary, and included with your rental.
Pet-friendly. Very Child-friendly. Smoking outdoors, please.
Most ex-haciendas are carefully guarded by their owners. It is difficult even to see them, let alone rent them. This is definitely not your average vacation rental. Please inquire early to avoid disappointment. We fill up very quickly.
