Step behind these walls and experience a different place in time. Just a three-minute walk from the town's main plaza, this original Spanish Colonial home (dating back to 1717AD) has been lovingly restored well beyond its original grandeur. Lush courtyard gardens, surrounded by original stone walls and gracefully arched columns leading to the interior rooms afford the ultimate in indoor/outdoor living.
For fifty years prior, 'Casa de la Espiga' was a local bakery . . . hence its name which translates to: 'House of the Grain Flower'.
Relax, dine, and entertain your guests in these private patios taking full advantage of San Miguel's nearly perfect climate. Or if you prefer, settle cozily indoors in the elegant yet comfortable 'sala' in front of the hand-carved fireplace, or take your meals in the formal domed dining room. Two comfortable first floor bedrooms, one with a king bed and one with a queen, each with its own full bath, are accessible from the courtyard as well.
On the second level the more rustic art studio opens onto the expansive sun-drenched roof terraces, with views of the town's stunning skyline and mountain sunsets. The studio also serves as an additional bedroom, as it has a double futon and spacious bath with shower and oversized tub.
This exceptional home has been tastefully furnished throughout with antiques, Mexican handicrafts and the owner's personal collection of original art and artefacts from around the world. Colorful Mexican tiles line the walls of the large, fully equipped kitchen, where indigenous ceramics and eclectic market paintings are whimsically displayed. Cable television, surround sound, and a library of books, video's and cd's are provided for your enjoyment. Wireless internet included.
THE ADJOINING PRIVATE 'MOORISH' GUESTHOUSE ('CASITA DE LAS ESTRELLAS') IS ALWAYS INCLUDED WITH ANY RENTAL . . . go to 'www.morning-glory.net' for guesthouse photos and a location map
