CASA LUCIA - A Simple Colonial Beauty. As you enter through the heavy antique wood doors of Casa Lucia you immediately feel the wonder and magic that this family home and very charming one room casita have to offer. You will find yourself immersed in the ambiance of colonial times but with all the modern conveniences of home. HISTORY - We are celebrating the newly released RIZZOLI coffee table book 'Casa San Miguel, Inspired Design and Decoration' by Annie Kelly. Several spectacular Colonial homes showcased in this book are directly mirrored in the architectural detailing and design of our own renovated Colonial home, Casa Lucia. In collaboration with a group of master craftsmen and artisans, this beautiful property was lovingly restored offering a wonderful blend of old world character and ambiance of colonial times, with modern day luxury and all the comforts of home. ARCHITECTURE - Casa Lucia, where inside of sheltering stone walls you will find hidden a world of private beauty and relaxed seclusion; an elegantly refined Colonial, a simple architectural gem with charming indoor spaces and gracious outdoor living areas. From the moment you pass through the wooden antique doors into the entry hall, you realize you have entered a uniquely special sanctuary. You find yourself looking through a large stone archway, down a paved walkway lined with luscious plants and vine covered walls. Four large sets of glass French doors to your right usher you in to the living room, dining room, and kitchen respectively. These doors bask the interior of the main house with light, enhancing the smallest details of the meticulously restored rooms including large stone fireplaces, hacienda furniture adorned with brightly colored pillows brought in from San Cristóbal de las Casas, antique Persian rugs, thick walls, high ceilings with beautiful old mesquite beams and lovely chandeliers throughout. Throw open all the glass doors creating a flow of indoor-outdoor living.

Slip right into the excitement of San Miguel! If you make a left on Ancha you walk past shopping and galleries and restaurants, cafes and markets. You end up in our main town square called the Jardin, about a 15 minute easy walk. Or you can explore all the little winding cobblestone streets and alley ways off of Ancha to get to the Jardin, our main town square. When you are there, check out the Parroquia, the most famous church and landmark located on the square. You can sit on the park benches for hours and observe, or read the local paper, enjoy our street food carts on the plaza, chat with people, find out all the local goings on... or wander further and explore for days.

You can shop the fabulous outdoor Organic Market on the Instituto de Allende grounds that offers so many different fresh local herbs, fruits, breads, cheeses and vegetables. The house is so close that you can easily zip back home to deposit what you bought and go out again. Oh, and at the Instituto you can also enjoy freshly baked goods and local fare for lunch in the courtyard. If you leave the house and make a right on Ancha, you also discover blocks of cafes, markets, antiques, produce vendors, bakeries with fresh goods every morning, different restaurants and street food... Very close also is the most famous, beautiful PARQUE JUAREZ (the largest and most beautiful park in San Miguel).
