The authentic adobe villa was built entirely by hand over a period of five years. Considered the signature work of one of San Miguel’s most prominent local architects, Villa el Cerrito masterfully combines an ancient building style with the modern conveniences and amenities expected by today's most discriminating travelers. The interior of Villa el Cerrito was designed by the owners and one of the town’s most distinguished interior decorators, and every room received the utmost attention to create an elegant, comforting, luxurious, and authentically Mexican environment.

The heated infinity pool allows you to literally swim among the tree tops while overlooking dramatic gardens, ponds, and fountains, while the spa offers a place for tranquil relaxation and rejuvenation. The adjacent outdoor loggia includes a comfortable seating and sunbathing area, a sound system, and a bar with refrigerator.

Beyond the pool and spa area and just over the Venetian bridge stands Casita el Cerrito. The casita is a charming little home all in itself, with two queen bedrooms and a single twin bedroom just above, a living room, a small kitchen, and a breakfast patio. Like all the other bedrooms, the bedrooms in the casita lead out onto private terraces, and take full advantage of the exquisite outdoor landscape. The casita is ideal for those desiring an extra level of privacy and intimacy, while still being able to enjoy all of the amenities and services afforded those staying in the main villa (when the villa and casita are rented together).

The magic of Villa el Cerrito is brought to life by an extremely professional, friendly, and able staff trained to make your stay as pleasurable and fulfilling as it can possibly be. Villa el Cerrito employs a full staff, including a mayordomo (butler), a veladore (security/night watchman), one cocinero (chef/cook), two criadas (maids), and a jardinero (gardener).

Felipe, the home's mayordomo, manages the staff on a daily basis and serves as the primary contact for all your needs. Felipe is extremely pleasant, professional, and competent, and is happy to arrange dinner reservations, tours, trips, in-villa massages, manicures, pedicures, facial treatments, or practically anything else your heart desires.

In addition to providing full concierge services, Felipe will shop at the local market for the freshest foods and ingredients should you desire a home-cooked meal prepared by Villa el Cerrito's fabulous professional chef, Leticia. Felipe will also serve any meals you choose to have at the villa. Perhaps most importantly, Felipe makes an excellent margarita! With Felipe and the rest of the staff to take care of you, you can feel confident that your experience at Villa el Cerrito will be everything you could have hoped for -- and more.

Other amenities include satellite television, high-speed internet access, CD and DVD players, state-of-the-art sound system, in-room safe deposit boxes, indoor garage, daily housekeeping and laundry service, and purified drinking water.
