Located on a charming tree-lined avenue that leads to Guanajuato´s picturesque plazas, Villa Maria Cristina discreetly hides spacious patios and understated elegance behind its 19th century facade.
Fine taste pervades throughout, with impeccable attention to detail, offering the cozy and stylish atmosphere of an aristocratic home. Its 13 spacious suites with wooden floors and marble bathrooms, are decorated with French furniture and take full advantage of the architectural style, with large windows allowing for natural light, creating an atmosphere of elegant intimacy.
The warm, terracotta-colored walls, floors inlaid with mosaics and hallways punctuated by plants, create pleasant public areas and a sense of space. The terrace, with its king-size Jacuzzi beneath a pergola, is the ideal space for al fresco dining, afternoon tea or an evening cocktail, when the light thrown by the wrought-iron lamps and the water features create a romantic ambiance.
The hotel´s spa, with a Roman-style sunken pool, whirlpool, Swiss showers and treatment rooms, is an oasis in which to be pampered just a short walk from your suite.
The restaurant, occupying an elegant salon on the first floor, serves an ever-changing menu of exquisite dishes of Mexican and international inspiration, perfectly complemented by fine wines from all over the world from the hotel´s extensive cellar.
The first-class, friendly service from the staff at Villa Maria Cristina will cater to your every whim and make you feel at home, away from home.
Consider This ...
Guanajuato is very close to San Miguel de Allende and you can easily day-trip there. Other nearby locations include Guadalajara (2.5 hours away) and Queretaro (40 minutes past San Miguel Allende).
You´ll Especially Love
The spacious patios where you can sit and read, sip a refreshing cocktail after exploring Guanajuato or enjoy an al fresco breakfast.
You May Want To Know
Walking shoes are essential here. The town has steep hills and narrow, cobblestone lanes which are very romantic but tricky to walk on if you´re not wearing the right shoes. You´ll probably want to spend the day out exploring so a practical day bag will also come in handy.
What´s Fabulous Here
The SPA! What´s better than booking a full body massage after hours spent walking the town. The SPA is peaceful, very private and a perfect place to unwind.
Who It Would Appeal To
Guanajuato is for walkers, art lovers and those wanting to experience a very ´Mexican´ destination. Although the town is growing in popularity for international travelers, you can still go to the town plaza and blend with the locals. |
