Orchid HouseSan Miguel de Allende

Hidalgo 21 · San Miguel de Allende

Three hundred years, one family. For a few days, the house is yours too.

San Miguel de Allende

Hidalgo 21, Centro Histórico

Some houses keep the memory of those who lived in them, and this is one of them. Four minutes from the center of San Miguel, this eighteenth-century casona holds the legacy of the Vidargas Castillo family, antique dealers by tradition.

Only six rooms, arranged around its cantera stone courtyard, among brick arches, historic doors and handmade textiles. The experience offers absolute privacy and traditional breakfasts made to order. The perfect base from which to explore the city on foot, backed by Orchid House hospitality.
