Antigua Casa del Limon

Gorgeous home, ideally located. Everything is beautifully decorated, comfortable, with incredible outdoor spaces. The communication throughout was excellent; we felt very cared for. We were met by the local caretaker on arrival despite the late hour, and she arranged and escorted us to our departure ride as well.

There are some lower doorways given the 18th century construction, so taller folks need to watch their heads.

Beautiful, authentic, colonial mansion!! Lots of steps inside but so culturally and historically important that they haven’t ruined the beauty of the original house. That is hard to find. Close to the main Jardín de la Union. If you have never stayed in a colonial home you may be a little put out by things that are normal: weak water pressure, tripping over steps that are unexpected, rain coming into the house, etc. but that is just life in Guanajuato. This is the best location! Our family of adults enjoyed it immensely. I spent a whole day reading on the terrace and I didn’t feel a bit guilty for not getting out and doing. It was also surprisingly quiet for GTO, not as many barking dogs as we are used to. I would definitely like to return. Sandra met us there and was available through WhatsApp anytime we had questions. The owners in CA were also very communicative. It was a lovely stay, we made great memories with our adult children. I’m sad we couldn’t stay longer. Thank you so much!!

Amazing house it’s everything you can dream of for your time being in Guanajuato capital

This wonderful 18th century home is up a number of steps from one of the main streets in Guanajuato. Minutes away is a street filled with food vendors. The upstairs deck is surrounded with plants and offers a remarkable view of Guanajuato. A quiet refuge from the many exciting pedestrian streets it is also located near a convenient drop-off or pickup for Uber rides. The house is filled with wonderful art and ceramic pieces. The property manager helped arrange transport from the airport and to the bus station. Also, the property can rent as two separate units, so keep that in mind when booking, depending on your group. Owner is very responsive to inquiries.

Though most everyone relies on smartphone maps, a few copies of local paper maps (which nobody at tourist kiosks seemed to have) might help orient in the delightful maze of pedestrian streets. I'm more of a microwave than a toaster oven kind of guy, but I could deal. :-)

La ubicación, el tamaño de la casa estaba muy limpio

Si, pero le falta mantenimiento, sale muy poca agua de la regadera las puertas están en no tan buen estado , un poco oscura la parte de abajo

Family of 5 recently stayed 5 nights at Antigua Casa del Limon and I would rate it higher than 10 out of 10 if I could! We loved all of the spaces, the comfort and absolute charm of the house. The terrace is a true highlight allowing us to enjoy the view and the weather. Communication with the owners and caretaker was smooth and super helpful. Can't wait to come back again, soon!

The open air inner courtyard connecting the home and the rooftop terrace! Winding around this courtyard are the two perfectly appointed bedrooms of the lower apartment, two full bathrooms, the large dining room, the even larger living room, an offshoot meditation nook and office and, finally, an enormous kitchen with anything anyone could want or need. Everything about this home is quality with an eye on beauty and comfort. Back to the rooftop terrace- My wife and I spent much of our time enjoying the incredible views, sipping coffee and wine under the covered terrace shade portion, relaxing and taking in the pleasant sounds of Guanajuato. Being indoor/outdoor at all times during mid January was such a treat. Being surrounded by various plants and cacti completed the amazing terrace. The owners did everything they could to make us feel welcome and at home, checking in on us just enough and not fussing with too much, but always just a quick message away. They were so kind to allow us to stay a few extra days longer than planned due to bad weather in the US. Speaking on the phone with Victor has been nothing but lovely, during our stay and since. Casa del Limon is a treasure. Guanajuato is amazing. My wife and I will not forget our time there and how lucky we feel to have found this listing. Honestly, we can't believe how lucky. A top three place we have ever stayed around the world. Thank you, Victor, Matteo and Sandra!

Nothing at all.

Antigua Casa del Limon is beautiful. It is like going back in time to the authentic colonial times with a touch of modernism – a gem! The house is well taken care of, and the contemporary upgrades are seamless given how big the house is and how many independent “hang out” type spaces have been created, we never felt like we were on top of each other – especially for an all “girl” vacation. A few key highlights of the house include: The terraces and patio are exquisite and accessible from every room for hacienda-style living! They are wonderful gathering places for the guests. Dipping pool is fun and heated. The views are spectacular, loved the authenticity of the homes and bright colors, especially at either sunrise or sunset. So romantic. The kitchen is huge and fully stocked with pots and pans, dishes, etc., and the formal dining room is spacious for large family meals. The dishes and the floors are true to Mexico and one of a kind. The decorations and art elevate the enjoyment of the property. In summary, the house is one of a kind and truly in the heart of beautiful and enchanting Guanajuato.

The only downside that we found happened on the night before we left – it dawned on us that we had to check out the next day and we simply did not want to leave. We are already looking at dates to go back next year!

The location was perfect: literally three minutes from the main square, Jardin de la Union. The building is a gorgeous colonial house where you can imagine yourself living in the past, but with all modern comfort. We were there for a short time but I could see us cooking in the very large colonial kitchen and eating in the colonial formal dining room. Living room had three comfy sofas and a smart TV connected to the internet. Each bedroom has its own bathroom, and the bedrooms are all separate so there is no hearing others sleeping in another room. Last but not least the views and the pool: both were gorgeous. We all also liked the many plants around the property. The decor is very upscale with great colonial and contemporary art. Excellent value for the price.

Everything was right. Comfortable, well appointed, safe and convenient.

Casa Limon in Guanjuato is a dreamy antique house that my family has been renting for years... Full of charm and character, this beautiful casa in Guanajuato is a total gem and one-of-a-kind in the centro historico! As soon as you walk in, you can feel the history; the high ceilings and wooden beams are just so inviting, and the artwork and artesanias everywhere make it feel very lived-in. It’s like stepping back in time, but with all the comforts you need.Keeping in mind it's a centuries-old house, the layout is a little wonky.  The 2 downstairs bedrooms and one bathroom are surrounding a courtyard patio (with a little plunge pool--again, one-of-a-kind!).  So guests in the outside bedroom do have to walk outside to get to the bathroom.  This is just part of the charm.  The upstairs apartment (loft bedroom, kitchen and bathroom) is 100% brand new and is as beautiful, modern and comfortable as it gets.  This is located upstairs as an addition to the original house. The main downstairs kitchen is easily the heart of the house for our family.  It's spacious, bright and has everything you need.  We spend a lot of time hanging out in the kitchen and the adjoining dining room.   That being said, the upstairs rooftop patio is the star of the show.  The views from the patio are absolutely breathtaking, especially when the sun sets and the city starts to light up. We spend hours up there in the morning over coffee, in the afternoon with a good book, and then again at night with a bottle of tequila.  It's our favorite part of Casa Limon!

Important to know about getting to Casa Limon (and pretty much anywhere in Guanajuato).  There are a LOT of stairs and steps.  You have to be stable on your feet to get to the house and move around within the house.   We have been there with young children, and it's doable, but should be noted.  The same would apply to an elderly or otherwise unstable person.  The house is definitely not wheelchair accessible.
