From arrival to departure the convenient location and staff attentiveness were as we expected from customer reviews. The western views from Suite 16 and the rooftop terrace were beautiful at every time of day. With western exposure comes prolonged sunshine and heat. The bedroom had a ceiling A/C which was efficient and quiet as was the ceiling fan. The outdoor temperature was excessive as we all knew from weather reports. The kitchen and family room were hot but we adapted. No A/C there so: close the curtains during hottest daylight; open screened windows for cross ventilation to take advantage of the outside air temp as beneficial.
The suite has windows on 2 sides and opening the front door offered a 3rd air flow.
Walking uphill or down from Casa Mia brought a multitude of picturesque destinations along cobblestoned walks: el Mirador viewpoint, Parque Benito Juarez, el Chorro hill; Parroquia Cathedral, Fabrica la Aurora galleries, the Art Institue SMA, the Canal family mansion/museum with stunning Guanajuato artist's collections and free entry. This is a very small representation of great places to visit. SMA is a Very friendly place and used to tourists. If you see a doorway, look inside. Just by chance we found many amazing courtyards - cool and filled with beauty. We are both in 70 years old and walked everywhere, but we saw that taxis were easily available. Our front desk offered many ideas and directions, but local community will keep you busy in a living postcard.
