Conceived as a private home with extensive room for family and numerous guests,
Casa Cariņo has views that sweep across the historic Mexican town of San Miguel
de Allende. Bell towers and Gothic spires pierce the skyline with background hues
shifting from blues to russet to golden as the setting sun disappears behind the
mountains.
Rated recently as one of the top ten destinations in the world, San Miguel,
founded in 1542, has experienced the boom of the silver mining days under
Spanish rule and the quiet retiring decades that followed. Long a community of
artisans and later artists from around the world, San Miguel-declared a national
treasure by the Government of Mexico-has strictly maintained its extensive
cultural qualities. Museums, shopping, open air markets, historical churches and
buildings abound. Are there local golf courses? Yes!
Casa Cariņo is timeless in its architecture and gardens, yet it was just completed
in 2002. Combined with the many balconies, hand carved doors, local tile, and
nine carved stone fireplaces, the home features modern appliances, state of the art
phone and electrical, and a pool and custom fountain/hot tub spa. Having seven
bedrooms with full baths, Casa Cariņo invites you as a family getaway or a
corporate executive conference retreat. Perhaps most romantic of all, Casa Cariņo
is a wonderful destination wedding location; in fact, the bride and groom might
send the rest of the wedding party home and have their honeymoon at Casa
Cariņo.
