Heritage

Three hundred years, one family

The courtyard is the house's center: vaulted brick corridors, a cantera stone fountain and mosaic floors nobody has replaced since they were laid. The quiet of a three-hundred-year-old courtyard isn't something a chain hotel can buy. Outside, the courtyard and its fountain hold space for a small event, under the sky of the Historic Center. Ask about availability — it's the only thing the house confirms about events today.

The furniture and the antiques come from the collection of the Vidargas Castillo family, antique dealers in San Miguel de Allende for four generations. The textiles were handmade by artisans from the area — nothing here came from a catalogue.

What guests say

“The calm that the place and the staff convey. […] orchid house gives you a safe, peaceful place to be.”

Cultural Guide

Sunrise balloon flights over the valley, arranged through the concierge — the valley from above, before the city wakes. The concierge also arranges horseback rides through Cañada de la Virgen with lunch at the end, tastings at the San Miguel and San Lucas vineyards, a cocktail workshop, and a sixty-minute massage or facial.

Gastronomy

Breakfast is made to order

The house has no restaurant: it has a kitchen. Breakfast is Mexican, included in the rate, and made to order — the chilaquiles have a following of their own in the reviews. Served in the courtyard by the fountain, or at the long table in the dining room.

Outside, the neighborhood sets the rest: Mama Mia 4 minutes away, Atrio 5, Quince Rooftop 5, Moxi 8, Lavanda Café 9 — all on foot from the door.

What guests say

“The boutique hotel was wonderful and located in the heart of San Miguel De Allende. The breakfast was prepared by Fabiola in the morning and the Chilaquiles was delicious!”
