It is situated in the bustling Centro of town, up a short residential walkway accessible only by foot, so away from traffic noise.

Just two blocks from the main Mercado and less than a 10-minute level walk to the Jardin, Casa Joya offers a great location as well as a showcase of the amazing architecture of Mexico today. Enter through custom mesquite doors into the decorative stone patio to the first floor. Here, walls of glass bring light into all rooms, including the living/dining/kitchen “great room” and the master bedroom with king bed and its own en-suite bathroom.

A small patio off the kitchen features a dramatic two-story waterwall sculpture studded with cobblestones. Upstairs, on the second floor, are two additional bedrooms that share a bathroom with striking tile work and polished concrete details.

On the third floor, you come to a casual family room on one side, opposite the colorful, shaded roof terrace with its vistas of the historic town center. This comfortable covered patio is ideal for quiet reading, cocktails, conversation, and watching twilight and evening fall over San Miguel’s historic skyline.

You can also climb up an outer staircase to a higher roof terrace with unparalled views of five of San Miguel’s major churches and the western mountain sunsets.”

Located in the UNESCO World Heritage Historic Centro, the stunning Casa Joya includes the best of two worlds: the history of colonial San Miguel, as well as the vibrancy of contemporary Mexico.

Designed by internationally renowed resident architect firm House+House, with walls of glass and good sitting on the lot, Casa Joya (or “jewel house”) is sunny and full of light, a rare feature in many San Miguel houses.
