CASA CHIRIPADA
San Miguel de Allende, Mexico
3 Bedrooms and 3.5 Bathrooms (Sleeps 6)

Located on a quiet, tree-lined and very pretty street five blocks from the Jardín, Casa Chiripada is one of those special houses where one feels instantly at home. Its design is reminiscent of a classic colonial casa and its newer construction results in an even cozier yet spacious house. Throughout this beautifully decorated residence is a mix of lovely antiques from around Mexico, great artwork and comfy, good-looking furniture. The overall effect is tranquility in a stylish surrounding.

Built on three sides around a delightful courtyard with a fountain, Chiripada offers guests several entertaining spaces including indoor/outdoor salas on two floors and a large roof terrace with fantastic views. Its three bedrooms, which are set well apart for privacy, have bathrooms en suite, televisions and a view of the courtyard. This is an ideal, small house that lives like a big one. Everything about Casa Chiripada, including its location, is charming.
