“Central yet very quiet”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2007
2
people found this review helpful

An immaculately maintained former convent, with huge rooms, tall ceilings, and a ton of charm. The place is beautifully decorated with both Mexican art and other artifacts from around the world. Each room has its own character but all are tastefully done. The best part o the stay was the breakfasts, which were out of this world. I can still taste the homemade vanilla ice cream we had for dessert...

Only downside, the bathroom smelled a little mildewy, but that's not uncommon in Mexico.

  • Liked — Great location, gorgeous establishment, good service, outstanding breakfast
  • Disliked — mildew smell in the bathroom
  • Stayed February 2007, travelled as a couple

“gracious hosts, lovely accommodations”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 September 2006

person found this review helpful

We stayed here for a week, and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The home is lovely, and the rooms are very comfortable. There are no TVs in the rooms, but that encourages you to get out and explore the city. Paul & Arturo were extremely helpful and knowledgable about the area. It's located in the historic downtown, so all the historic buildings are within easy walking distance. We would go back in a heartbeat.

“Better then the pictures!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 March 2006

4 Blocks from the Opera house square: busy and vibrant, yet close the front door and you are in your own world: remote and serene with a fountain and quite courtyard. Go to sleep from exploits from the night prior (salsa), wake up to hummingbirds and bells.

Paul is an excellent and gracious host and has done a magnificent job restoring this historical gem. If you are in the city, this is the respite you are looking for!!!- Minneapolis, MN USA

“A Magnificent Home!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 August 2005
13
people found this review helpful

Pictures do not justify the beauty and architectural integrity of this home. This home is a classic example of the patio/colonial home. The hosts, Paul & Arturo were also very gracious. Paul makes the most wonderful bread, homemade jam, and delicious breakfasts. If you stay in a hotel while in Guadalajara you will truely miss a significant part of the culture and history of this colonial city.

“Privacy and Refinement”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 May 2005

people found this review helpful

A great B&B for those who adore art, antiques, architecture and SUNLIGHT. The open-air house has a fountain in the front entrance and huge shady plants that filter beautiful light into the courtyard all day. We spent our honeymoon there, and enjoyed a huge formal breakfast served in the patio. The owner, Paul, is an American who's lived in the area for years and gives a wealth of information about the city and surrounding towns. The house offers a lot of different private niches. You can enjoy cocktails downstairs in the sitting rooms or peer down into the courtyard from the second floor walkway. Loved that the house wasn't marked as a hotel and was located in a great section of town near a local market, the historic district, an art school, and local newspaper. Taxis easy to get. Sweet little restaurants scattered throughout the vicinity. Relaxing, beautiful.
