Casa Caracol is nestled on the side of the mountain in a delightful neighborhood a short walk from city center. The view from the house is spectacular including the mountains and sunset. The apartment sleeps 2 people and the guestroom can be added on for a total of 4. However contact me if you need additional space since house consists of 3 apartments and the others may be available. There is a large roof terrace with a 360 degree view, said by many to be one of the best in town. Beautiful painted details and a unique circular interior stairway filled with plants make Casa Caracol a delight to the eye and a pleasant house to life in.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

It was a nice clean place to stay.
We enjoyed staying in the apartment. It was small but perfect for us to stay the 3 days and 2 nights we were there. We would recommend any one or 2 persons staying there. The owner lives upstairs to answer any questions you may have.

A Wonderful Cosy apartment within a short 20 minute walk to El J
We have stayed at Casa Caracol in San Miguel de allende about 4 different times. We always occupied the small apartment on the first floor and on one or two occasions our friend rented the second bedroom and bath on the same level and shared the kitchen and living room with us. The house is located up a small hill and has a wonderful view of the city from the small balcony off the living room. The apartment is very cozy and easy to heat on chilly mornings. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom while small is perfectly adequate. The apartment comes with most everything that the vacationer would need and while the frig and stove were small we found that we did very little cooking in the apartment since there is an abundance of very reasonably priced restaurants within walking distance. The house is located about 20 minutes south of the town center (El Jardin) and about a 15 minute walk to Parque Juarez. It's simple to get to town by going down the hill, then taking a right on to Calle aldama and following it all the way into the center of town. We liked the location of Casa Caracol so well that we bought a lot nearby and built a house on it which was completed in 2007. We would highly recommend Casa Caracol for a single person or a couple who was looking for a well situated, comfortable, and reasonably priced apartment in San Miguel.

Great location for a base from which to explore San Miguel
My wife and I fell in love with San Miguel and the Bajio, and our stay in Apartment 2 at Casa Caracol was definitely a part of the reason. It was our first visit to Mexico, and we will be back. We enjoyed walking to the Jardin and Parque Juarez and being among the everyday people along the way. Great exercise, too. Our accomodations were charming and comfortable. Maria did our laundry twice and Chela cleaned. Charlotte's book of advice and house rules was invaluable. Be aware of the altitude (6,300 ft.) and steepness of some of the streets. Be sure you know how to re-light a hot water heater as well (all of the instructions were in Spanish). Definitely a good place to stay.

Amazing!
Had a wonderful time in San Miguel with my mother and thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful apartment. Very creative and comfortable with lots of sun, great views and enjoyed the attached balcony and amazing rooftop terrace. Owners Charlotte and Wolf were very friendly and extremely helpful; the caretakers were great as well. Perfect location, nice neighborhood and convenient to lots of day-to-day needs. Can't wait to go back!

The Envy of all My Friends!
Casa Caracol, Apt. 2, was my home for three months and was the envy of everyone who saw it! It is the perfect size for a single person or cosy for a couple, is nicely decorated, gets lots of sunlight, is well-equipped for basic cooking, has ample storage space and has the most stunning view in San Miguel. The neighborhood is quiet and safe and the 15 minute walk up and down to the Centro took inches off my thighs! Chela, the maid, took care of any minor problems (light bulb out, etc.) and Maria, the laundress, delivered my carefully washed and ironed clothes weekly. The upper unit, Apt. 1, is stunning, much larger with fantastic views and a great place to stay if you want to do more entertaining. The guest bedroom option is perfect if you are expecting friends to visit. And the rooftop terrace - a sunny blissful place to relax with a beer and a good book until one drifts off into a Mexican siesta. The owners, Charlotte and Wolf, could not have been nicer or more helpful. The entire three months was one of the nicest experiences of my life!

perfect place to write, sight-see, visit botanical garden
Casa Caracol has a million charms and a million dollar view of the city. I have been to San Miguel several times, with friends, for the annual Poetry Week, and there's always more to see than I have time for, even if staying several weeks. Casa Caracol is gorgeously furnished, comfy, and equipped with everything we needed. It's a wonderful place to stay. I've stayed near the town square once, and I prefer Casa Caracol's breathtaking view --- coffee on the rooftop, an expanse of windows at every level ---wow.
