Description
Built from the existing ruins of San Miguel de Allende’s original orphanage, the three-foot wide stone walls of Casa Castilla date back to the early 1600’s. While keeping the castle-like feel of the house, Norwegian architect, Anja Fauske, transformed Casa Castilla into a modern day masterpiece, while Rhode Island School of Design-trained interior designer, Anne-Marie Midy, added her gorgeous signature French style to create an enchanting and unique design to every room.
Truly a work of art in itself, Casa Castilla brings to mind a MC Escher-inspired creation come to life with its multi-level terraces, stone passageways and arched staircases. Reigning above one of the many grand archways you’ll find a 17th century statue of archangel, St. Michael, the city’s patron saint. Only three blocks from the jardin in the historic centro of San Miguel , Casa Castilla offers spectacular panoramic views from its three rooftop patios, where the outdoor dining and barbeque area seats 12
For those who like to paint, you can enjoy the light filled artist studio. Enjoy the entertainment room with a flat screen TV, stadium seating and an extensive library of DVD’s. And, guests of Casa Castilla are allowed swimming pool privileges at the beautifu hotel Hacienda de los Flores right next door.
(Please note that the pool is NOT heated during the winter months.)
For the culinary inclined, plan to stir up something delicious in the fully-equipped kitchen with cemento-polido countertops, stainless steel appliances and gourmet pizza oven. Completed in 2006, modern conveniences such as radiant floor heating, wireless internet, free US phone service, a purified water system
throughout (you can drink from showers!), and an electric dumbwaiter to the rooftop terraces add comfort and convenience to your stay.
A maid six days a week and a cook five days a week make Casa Castilla a vacation villa dream-come-true.
