We will also be traveling for six weeks leaving August 17 and returning on October 2. We are looking for a sitter or sitters to stay in our home and care for our two cats and our garden and potted plants.
We have lived in San Miguel de Allende for 11 years. This beautiful, famed colonial town is about a 3.5 hours drive north of Mexico City and has been voted Conde Nast #1 best small city in the world for 3 years in a row.
The house is located in a quiet, secure neighborhood, about a 20 minute walk to the historical and cultural center with its popular "Jardin", cathedral (Parroquia) and lots of artesanal shops, cafés and restaurants. There are small tiendas in our immediate neighborhood and a big "mercado" full of small shops selling everything imaginable.
The two floor house has several terraces with great views of the colonial town, and mountains. San Miguel is a mountain town feet altitude), a world heritage site with cobble-stone streets, colonial architecture, and lush flowering trees & vines. The climate is one of its amazing features with lots of sunny, warm days and cool nights.
You will be able to use the ground floor bedroom and ensuite bathroom, kitchen / dining/ living room and of course terraces and garden. (Our bedroom, bath and studio are on the 2nd level and will not be accessible).
You can swim in the natural pond, surrounded by a lush garden newly planted with local trees and grasses. There is also an outdoor shower.
There is fiber optic WiFi in the whole house, washer and dryer and all modern amenities.
Our cats, Chuy and Dweezil, like to hang out in the garden and come in and out through cat doors as they please. The high walls of the garden keep them safe.
Your responsibilities will be to care for them and water the garden which has a sprinkler system, and water the potted plants. Weekly maid service is provided. All utilities are paid.
We look forward to hearing from those interested. Please contact us if you have any questions.
