A Hidden Gem: Exceptional Stay at Villa Maria Cristina Villa Maria Cristina exceeded all my expectations! From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed by the warm and friendly staff who were incredibly helpful throughout my stay. Their genuine hospitality made my visit truly special. The property itself is stunning—every corner is a visual delight. The architecture and design of the buildings are so unique and beautifully preserved, making it a treat to explore. My room was spacious, impeccably clean, and thoughtfully designed for comfort. One of the highlights was the free parking, which added convenience to an already flawless experience. From the serene ambiance to the exceptional service, my entire day there was among the best I’ve had. If you’re looking for a luxurious yet welcoming retreat, I can’t recommend Villa Maria Cristina enough. It’s a perfect blend of beauty, comfort, and top-tier service. I can’t wait to return

Hotel with beautiful grounds, pool and gym

Resort type of hotel spread out on beautiful grounds with large pool and well equipped gym. Many terraces and sitting areas as well as a full service restaurant are nicely integrated in between guest rooms. Some rooms have limited daylight due to their location and small windows. The reception personal spoke limited English and beyond calling us a taxi no concierge services were available.

Una estancia muy placentera, el hotel está como para no salir de ahí, las instalaciones muy bonitas y el área de spa, con su alberca climatizada, sauna, vapor, jacuzzi fue lo mejor. Lo único es que les recomiendo elegir los cuartos de arriba ya que nos tocó en el piso 1 y se escucha mucho ruido en la noche y muy tempranito ya que está pegado al restaurant. Igual un mantenimiento a los baños ya que emiten ruidos raros y en el área de spa tiene un olor feo.

Incredible place to stay for tour of Guanajuato

We loved this stunning place and would like to come back soon. Breakfasts were superb, (coffee so so). We ate dinner one night and it was disappointing. Rooms are quiet, roomy and comfortable. Most require 2-4 flights of stairs which enables views of the historic buildings and mountains in the distance . Staff was outstanding at every level. Spa was enjoyable with first rate massage therapists on the team.
