TRANSCRIPT
Welcome to
Our Beautiful Abode
in San Miguel de Allende
Almeda 1A, Colonia San Antonio
As you enter, a fabulous garden awaits you with ancient hand-carved statuary, huge trees, plants, flowers, and sunlight.
It feels like a secret garden.
The wall around the garden is famous in San Miguel for its beauty
and uniqueness. It was build by a man named
“Jesus”, who was the father of the current owner
of the Hacienda. There are eight
apartments on the property – three of which are inhabited by friends of ours.
All of the mystical statues in the garden were sculpted by
Jesus.
The entrance to our apartment is grand! All of the bas-relief around the windows
are hand-carved and the borders are hand-painted.
Beautiful stone work covers the pathways all around the garden. There are places of sun, shade, and silence for everyone’s pleasure.
The magical garden is swept, watered and nurtured, with love, four times a week.
Symbols of love and devotion are everywhere in the garden. The statues are the expression
of the original owner’s love for God and his dear wife, Teresita,
a woman in her 80’s who lives right up the street.
Meet Teresita to whom the garden is dedicated!
The neighbors are very friendly and the surrounding area is quiet & safe.
INSIDE the APARTMENT
The 900 square foot apartment is colorful, light-filled, romantic,
comfortable, with many artistic touches.
Here is the king size bed.
It’s a great place to relax, listen to the birds and enjoy the light breezes blowing through
the three French doors.
On the living room side, there is a
comfortable day bed, chair, and couch
in front of the cozy fireplace.
In the evening, the lighting is warm and welcoming. Good
cross-ventilation and a ceiling fan ensures your comfort.
The kitchen is filled with light, has great views, and
has everything you need to cook.
For the creative side of you, there is an artist’s table
with easel and chair waiting for you
in the perfect light of day.
Traditional Mexican tiles adorn the light-filled
bathroom. The cabinets are hand-painted
to match the tiles. The towels are plush.
The antique dining room table seats eight people and is located
in the center of the main 30 x 20 living space –
with a 11’ high ceiling,
three floor-to-ceiling windows, weathered wooden beams,
a patterned brick floor, an oriental carpet, sconces,
and beautiful lighting all around.
The afternoon light that filters
through the colorful curtains
warms the heart and
soul. .
The Mexican lamp
purchased
at a nearby
Artisan’s market
creates fascinating patterns
on the brightly
colored walls.
The apartment faces the garden
and is totally safe and private.
The Town of San Miguel de Allende(Voted the Best City in the World by Conde Naste – 2013)
Almost everything is in walking distance. The picturesque streets
are made of cobblestone. Taxis are $2.40 to anyplace in town.
The town square is the hub of this beautiful city.
Entire books have been written about the “doors of San Miguel.”
The weather is great all year round. The
altitude is 6,000 feet.
This is a place of celebration,
parades, larger-than-
life puppets, and a vital street life.
Lots of gorgeous ninos and friendly locals.
It’s a costume party AND a “come-as-you-are” party at the same time.
There are beggars on the street,
but there is
no hustle or
aggression. The
feeling of communi
ty, humanity
, and
respect on the
streets is palpable.
San Miguel is located in the center of Mexico.
There are three airports you can fly into:
Mexico City, Queretaro, and Leon.
