The loft-style king bedroom on the second floor overlooks the living area and offers an ensuite bathroom with a luxurious oversized soaking tub, perfect for moments of relaxation. At night, the living space transforms into a dreamy cinema with a large projector TV screen, enhanced by remote-controlled blinds that close out the world outside.

Outdoor Oasis:

Step outdoors to discover a tranquil space designed for unwinding. Shaded by mesquite and cactus trees, the outdoor area features comfortable seating, a hammock, and a fire pit for cozy evenings. The dining area and a wood and charcoal-fired grill invite you to enjoy meals al fresco, while the outdoor oversized soaking tub, complete with hot and cold water, provides the perfect setting for soaking under the open sky. Whether you're gazing at the stars or simply savoring the stillness, the outdoor space is a haven of peace and connection to nature.

Whether you’re soaking in the outdoor tub, stargazing by the fire, or simply enjoying the natural beauty of the mountain desert, every detail has been crafted to bring you closer to tranquility.

San Miguel de Allende is one of the most attractive and charming cities in Mexico, well-known for its culture and vibrant art. San Miguel's stunning architecture, colorful streets, and its enchanting traditions have made this town one of Mexico's top travel destinations and a designated UNESCO World Heritage site. The city has also been awarded The Best City in the World to visit more than once!

Surrounded by nature, CASA DOM is nestled at the base of Cerro de las Tres Cruces, just a 15-20 minute drive to Centro, the city center in San Miguel de Allende. This serene retreat offers a peaceful escape from the bustle of the city, inviting you to unwind in beautifully designed outdoor spaces and a lush garden filled with native flora.

Cerro de las Tres Cruces, a cherished local landmark known for its tranquil hiking trails and sweeping views, lies just steps from the property—perfect for morning walks or afternoon explorations. The property offers ample parking for multiple vehicles, providing a convenient gateway to the vibrant center of San Miguel de Allende. However, please note that CASA DOM is intentionally situated away from the developed areas of San Miguel, offering a more secluded and natural retreat. As such, the property does not have a traditional address that can be easily entered into a smartphone. To ensure a smooth arrival, we kindly ask that you carefully follow the detailed directions provided, as this unique location is designed to immerse you in its tranquil, untouched surroundings.

We offer a private car service for trips in or around the city (price depends on destination), and we offer private airport transportation for $900 MXN per person (2 person minimum fee) for transport to and from the airport. Contact us for a car service. CASA DOM is a contemporary concept home located in a peaceful rural area, accessed via unpaved dirt roads. The drive adds to the sense of adventure and seclusion, but we recommend a vehicle with decent clearance, especially during or after rain when the road can be a bit bumpy. Embrace the journey—it’s all part of the experience of staying in nature.
