"Rife with color, almost every wall, every piece of furniture is hand-painted a different shade yet blends beautifully with each other, flowing from room to patio, roof garden to bedroom ... plants and flowers adding yet more color to this fabulously fun yet comfortable home."
-- Quote from San Miguel House and Garden Tour description
Description
San Miguel de Allende is a captivating place to visit and Casa Del Alma epitomizes the "San Miguel" experience. At Casa del Alma, the luminous colors of Mexico are woven into an exquisite tapestry of living art in a marriage of historic city and modern luxury.
Casa del Alma is conveniently located in Colonia San Antonio, a quiet neighborhood in San Miguel de Allende. We are about 10 - 15 minutes EZ walking to Centro, El Mercado, El Instituto and El Jardin.
Enjoy lazy afternoons on the tree-shaded patio by the handcrafted fountain, picturesque sunsets from the spacious upper Terrazza and cozy evenings by the uniquely tiled fireplaces. Casa del Alma is a sensory delight of art and color interacting in simple elegance.
This peaceful and joyous 2 story home is expansive with a tremendous sense of openness yet still remains private. The house centers around the Fountain and Patio and all rooms open to this peaceful garden haven. The roomy kitchen is well equipped with a convenient "pass-through" to the patio for entertaining. The living room and dining room both feature hand-tiled mosaic fireplaces and, as everywhere else in the house, hand-crafted art and furniture are designed to pleasure the senses.
Casa del Alma essentially contains 2 Master Bedrooms. The ample downstairs Fountain Room opens onto the garden and is adorned with a hand-wrought iron bed-frame (new Queen sized mattress) and an exquisitely tiled bath. The Tree House Suite is entered via the tiled stairway through the den. The den/family room contains the TV, DVD, a hammered tin fireplace, and the extra Sofa (Queen sized) bed for kids or third couple.
From the Den, continue across the hall/office area to the Master bedroom. The new pillow-top Queen sized bed has an elegant hand-crafted sculptured tin headboard. The Master also has a Boveda (arched brick) ceiling with a sky light where you can actually see the stars from your bed. You will awaken to birdsong emanating from the tree & the ever-present Church bells outside your window and revel in the profusion of light and colors from sky and rooftops. The adjacent bath boasts a tub, separate shower and Bidet.
From the moment you open the front door, your eye will be drawn by the plethora of colors and your spirit will lift with the sense of balance and harmony that this truly delightful casa embraces.

"Stan and Joanna's Casa del Alma is a delight! We feel we are living in an Art Gallery. The colors in the hose make us think that Frida Kahlo had a hand in decorating. Stan and Joanna have chosen wonderful pieces of art and every little detail from dishes to music is so much more than one would ever expect in a rental...the rental price makes staying here even nicer."

"Just wanted to let you know we had a great time staying in your home in SMA. THe house was perfect for our friends and us ,they stayed upstairs and we down. Very sound-proof. We appreciated the nice linens and towel, and the kitchen couldn't have been better appointed. We both liked to cook , so it was great. We met Seth next door, and the Bakery got a lot of our pesos. The tienda on Rosal was most convenient. We ate at ChaChaCha and Rinconcita, which we liked a lot, but we were not impressed with Don Quixote. Araceli did a very nice job for us."

"Wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed staying at Casa del Alma. It really should have been featured in "Colors of Mexico." The furnishings were so interesting and beautiful and we did not lack for anything. I think I took as many pictures of the house as I did of SMA.
By the way, your "Handbook for the Casa" was very complete and most helpful. We will certainly be coming back in the future."
-- Carey Ann
"We have stayed in many other houses, in many Colonias and this is by far the most exquisite! The colorful décor, beautiful artwork and well thought out conveniences have made our stay truly delightful."
-- Alice & Carol
"We were amazed at how perfectly well equipped the house was. I think it is the best equipped house we’ve ever rented. The beds were comfortable and the electric blanket fantastic…We loved Cha Cha Cha and the bakery around the corner. Also thanks for the orange juice tip."
-- Carol P.
"Magic! When my family and I walked through the doors of Casa del Alma, we were wowed! …so very different from our gringo experience…the tinkling sound of the fountain, the red rib stripe of the banana tree, the distant church bells...sounds…comfort and delight – etched in my memory – Gracias"
-- Catherine
"My traveling companions and I really felt "pampered" there in such a colorful sanctuary, and it gave us a nice place to come "home" after a full day of exploring the city… a memorable way to celebrate 50 years on planet."
-- Nancy
"How good of you to share this jewel box of a house. Through our month here, we learned to appreciate the light, the colors, the details of furniture and lamps and the fountain, all playing off each other in a delightful, almost musical synergy. Surely Casa del Alma reflects your soul."
-- George
"Que una casa! Que colores! Staying in your beautiful home has been awesome. It is so evident the heart and soul that has gone into the creation of such a magical place. We have had the most wonderful time and look forward to our stay at Casa del Alma next year."
-- Heidi & David
