Ajijic Paradise
This is our second time to stay in this home. It is spacious and the backyard is sooo beautiful. This location is the best. Residential feel, but just one street over to Malecon and a short walk to the main section of town. Owner was always available for any questions and Prop Mgr. always answered promptly. We keep choosing this property as it is such a special place to relax. Pool cover keeps water just the right temp. This place will forever be our Ajijic go to. You can’t go wrong here!

Trying Not To Be Too Picky, But...
We understand that our stay in September was during the rainy season so the humidity was high and mosquitos were abundant. The home felt safe, the wifi was good and the location worked well for walking Ajijic. There is a small AC unit in the master bedroom which worked well but there is little airflow to the rest of the house so we had to purchase a pedestal fan and moved it around with us. There is some screening with the patio doors but no screens on the front door so no good access for a breeze. We decided to take drinks to the mirador but it was just nasty with nothing we wanted to sit on. Carpets don't really get cleaned they get swept so we took the the smaller ones outside and shook them as there was plenty residue from previous renters. The showers were a big dissapointment. There were 3 to chose from: The master was cramped with very little water flow and it did not drain well. The tile shower offered more room and better flow until you tried to get hot water then the flow went to a dribble as the single control handle was broken. The third was in a bathtub and offered equally disappointing flow. All three shower heads were damaged. I pulled the insulation off the pool and saw it was pretty dirty. I stuck my arm in it and the top 4 inches of water was warm and the rest was colder. I checked it 3 more times during the day with the same result - This means the water was stagnant with no circulation, we never used it for that reason. So, no mirador, no pool, no airflow, no showers to speak of, the house is old and smells like it to the point we didn't put our clothes in the walk-in closets, not the experience we were hoping for.

Ideal Location
We had a wonderful stay at this home. Gardens were so beautiful and outdoor lounge spaces were great for siestas. Home is very nicely appointed with interesting artwork throughout. Location was ideal as a short walking distance to everything: Malecon, Plaza, restaurants. Streets are cobblestone so be prepared with footwear. Wish we would have stayed longer. Owners were very communicative throughout and we thank them for sharing their home with us. You will not be disappointed.

Much better than photo's show
We lived in Ajijic at one time and knew this area and what to expect for the most part. The house was much better than the photos suggested and was perfect for our needs. Lot's of outdoor living space which is wonderful this time of year and pretty much all year. We were able to walk to our favorite dining places or drive there easy. Would certainly stay here again. Schedule a 1/2 day to just look at the interesting collections in the house alone!

Unfortunately there are lots of cobblestone streets and sidewalk. Several people have fallen or twisted an ankle. After you get into the walled property you get to appreciate a wonderful garden setting. We enjoyed our stay despite it being in the high 30's and low 40's at night for about a week. I'd recommend the villa. FYI: A really nice challenging golf course is a 35 min drive from the villa, Atlas CC. All my best, Wedge

Would like to return.
Property is as described, and it was a pleasure to stay there. Everything went smoothly. My wife and her brother, and two guests, especially enjoyed the pool. Nice and private and quiet. Casita is great. Easy walk to lots of nice things to do and see and eat. No problems. All went smoothly.

Garden Oasis in the Village
Well-maintained, artistic property with loads of Mexican charm. Easy walk to the malecon and the many fun shops and restaurants in Ajijic. The pool, gardens and fountain were a treat; we spent most of out time at the house outside enjoying the beautiful weather. Victor, the property manager, was a pleasure to work with.

Ambiance in the extreme
What a house !!! Hacienda style house with lots of character, a beautiful garden, courtyard and outdoor covered terraces. Pool was refreshing, but the entire place just made you relax. Close to everything in old Ajijic, but still relatively quiet.
