San Miguel de Allende, Mexico:
Beautiful New Home and Casita
for Rent
A house of light and views...
Exceptional inside / outside living!
Casa Amistad (Friendship House) is located in San Miguel de Allende high in the mountains of central 4 hours drive northwest of Mexico City or 1 and a half hours from Leon. San Miguel was declared a national historical monument in the 1920s because Mexico’s independence struggle from Spain began here and thus its wonderful colonial character is preserved. It is an internationally known center for the arts and has attracted visitors from around the world for generations. The climate is mild all year round at 6400 feet above sea level and it has 330 days of sunshine per year permitting its 80,000 inhabitants to enjoy outside activities, numerous festivals, and a relaxed lifestyle.
We built Casa Amistad in 2007 because of our love for the old city, the climate, the lively modern and traditional arts communities, the long-term cooperative relationship between local and foreign residents, the wonderful people and their celebratory lifestyle, the markets and food, and the nearby opportunities for adventure travel. Now we offer others the opportunity to enjoy this special part of the world in our beautiful home.
Below are pictures of both the main house and the casita. They can be rented together or separately. The main house has 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, wireless internet, an open greatroom, gorgeous views from multiple terraces and beautiful inside/outside living. The casita has 1 bedroom, 1 full bath, and a kitchen/living/dining room, again with wireless internet, all the amenities, and a rooftop terrace with beautiful views.
