“A quiet, beautiful oasis in the center of San Miguel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 May 2010

Posada Corazon was a mixed bag for me. I selected my room very carefully from the web site when I made my reservation, and was disappointed when I was given a different room upon arrival. I was supposed to have a room with a private pool in a private courtyard. That particular room is now not used as a sleeping room. I was given the room above it, which looks out on the pool and courtyard. Still a nice room, but not what i expected.

The pool was not heated and although daytime temps were in 80s and 90s the pool temp was a little too cool for comfort. No TV (which was fine). No phone in the room (staff were very friendly in taking messages for me), but using the office phone was an inconvenience and I did not like feeling like I was intruding on their work space.

No iPod docking station or radio.

Bed was really hard and the only pillows were huge (fat) and firm. I can only sleep well with a thin down pillow. Yes, I should have brought my own. I did not ask if they had a soft pillow; my bad.

Really beautiful garden setting with lots of birds, trees, shrubs and flowers. The fresh rosemary in my room was a nice touch. Breakfast every day was delightful; everything organic and made fresh from scratch. The location cannot be beat; it's just 2 blocks to the Parroquia and the jardin. The posada is on Aldama street, which many regard as the best street. It's very quiet and close!

“A heavenly haven....”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 August 2009

Our family has stayed at the Posada Corazon on several holidays to San Miguel de Allende. We love the place! The staff are caring, the breakfasts are wonderful, the rooms are clean, quiet and nicely decorated and the gardens are breath takingly beautiful with trees, scultptures, fountains....we also love the 2 friendly dogs, Roz and Nina...they are always smiling and happy to have a pat on the head! The harp and guitar music on the week ends adds even more charm to this already charming oasis!

“Finally a monumental retreat”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 December 2008

This place has a unique soul weaved into it.

It is not an accident that the Dalai Lama visited SMA in 2005, at thes ame week that the Posada opened its gates. There was also a full moon eclips that week!!! Btw, the Dalai's secretary stayed at the Posada!

I found all this since I met with the owners, a lovely family who is also private.

The energy is incredible, a blend of a Roman villa , gallery and a monastery - and everything in between.

Expect lots of privacy. If you travel alone there may not be many souls to talk to, but if you came for some solace and reflection, this place is as soulful as it gets. No chatty owners - instead, lots of quiet quality time, organic breakfast and peace. There are 6 cats and 2 dogs on the property, also some fish. All seem to live harmoniously in this high frequency oasis.

“Good location, but overpriced”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 January 2008

The posada is a nice oasis, behind heavy wood doors that face the street, you enter into a private courtyard which is quite inviting. I have no complaints about the common areas, and I enjoyed the breakfasts (we could watch the folks cooking in the large, open cocina, which added to the charm). I liked the decor (rustic colonial) very much.
The location is excellent, within walking distance of everything you will want to visit in San Miguel.
The front desk was helpful when we needed to book bus tickets to Guanajuato; however, my expectation of a family-run posada was that there would be more of an owner or staff presence to make us feel at home and to offer suggestions about dining, sites, etc. Most of the time there was no one around, so we were left to figure things out for ourselves. Walking in and around an empty posada, even during the day, felt weird.
The beds were hard as a rock, and FYI, you can't flush anything down the toilet (all paper goes in a wastebasket next to the toilet). Our wireless connection worked well one day, then didn't work at all the next. The towels were coarse, and there was no blow dryer. (Also no TV, but I didn't care about that). Also, the lighting was poor and the bathroom was dated.
We paid $170/night-- 1700 pesos-- which is way too high for what we received. Next time I will look elsewhere.

“Very peaceful”

This bed and breakfast is one of the most beautiful places we have ever stayed. The outside street door opens onto an absolutely lovely garden area with sculptures and fountains. This was much appreciated after a hectic day of walking and shopping in San Miguel. Our room was comfortable and quiet. We didn't even hear the infamous bells. The organic made-to-order breakfasts were wonderful every morning.

The only complaint I had was that it was a bit cold througout the bed and breakfast. I wore my sweater any time I left our room. The staff did provide a portable heater so sleeping was very pleasant.
