15 Jan 2011 - Winter in Guanajuato

Winter is here in Guanajuato. What does that mean? An average January high temp of around 72. Cool evenings. Dry sunny weather. It's the coldest month of the year in Guanajuato, it just keeps getting nicer as winter wears on.

Join us at the House in Guanajuato for a relaxing and fascinating break from the cold!

In the house itself, we have two suites, the Boveda Suite, and the Buena Vista Suite. The Buena Vista Suite is located at the top of the house. It features a private bath, bedroom with king sized bed and study desk, and a sitting room with a mini fridge, microwave, and coffeemaker. The door opens up to a small patio, with views up the callejon, and easy access to the roof.

The Boveda Suite opens to an interior patio, and has the same general features as the Buena Vista. The sitting room features a boveda ceiling, a brick domed ceiling found in this part of Mexico. It is probably the quietest suite in the house, being the most protected.

Also part of the main house is the Master Bedroom. This is a large room with a balcony overlooking the Callejon Barranca. It features a king sized bed, sitting area, and built-in bookcases and a desk. A large private bathroom, with twin sinks, is attached. The room opens into one of the pricipal patios of the house.

We have two apartments with separate entrances, the first is the Don Quixote. This apartment contains a bedroom with a full sized bed, bath, small complete kitchen (stove, no oven), and a living room/dining room. It is street level, and offers the easiest access. Finally, the 'student' apartment is a small efficiency, which is usually rented to a student of the University of Guanajuato in an effort to maintain the diversity of the neighborhood. Proceeds from the student apartment help fund a scholarship at the Interlochen Center for the Arts.

The house offers a wonderful place to stay, near the heart of Guanajuato, but just far enough up the callejon to escape the noise of the streets. At night, the voices of the troubadors that roam the callejons filter up on the cool night air. Our trilingual innkeeper, Carl, speaks English, French, and Spanish. He can help guide you to the major attractions, cultural attractions, and out of the way spots. Contact us now for availability.
