Casa El Quijote Location and Activities

This lovely four bedroom, three and a half bath house including casita, has just been redone in 2005 by Robert H. Glaze, President and Founder of the Weybridge Collection, with influences from India, Thailand and of course, Mexico. Glaze has traveled the world to decorate this house with a colonial feel. The house also includes his private collection of art and folk art by local San Miguel and other Mexican artists. The house is located in Ojo de Agua, just south of Juarez Park and is a 15 minute, flat walk into town. You get the luxury of being close, but the serenity of being removed from the hustle and bustle of the historical district. The house is an easy walk to all that San Miguel has to offer. Visit great restaurants, antique shopping, the many markets, churches and streets of this hillside town. Enjoy art galleries, tour artists’ studios or take a class in Spanish, art or writing. The house follows in a Weybridge tradition of “Offering a Cultural Connection.

Casa El Quijote Accommodations

The house has a lovely garden with fountain and an interior light court with a second fountain that fills the entire house with its peaceful sound. There are three bedrooms in the main house with three king beds. One of the kings can convert into 2 twins for flexibility. Two bedrooms share a bathroom. The master suite has a king bed with a daybed. There is a large bathroom and superior closet space. You can catch some sun on the private balcony off of the master suite on one of the chaise lounges set up for you. The kitchen is well equipped with all new cookware, dishes, flatware and glassware. There is a small breakfast table that seats four guests. You can enjoy the garden not only from the dining room, but also from the kitchen. So wherever you are, you feel like you are always part of the action. There is a large living room that has two seating areas. You can take advantage of the TV with DVD player, while relaxing in one of the the ultra suede chairs or you can sit on one of the sofas on the other side of the room and enjoy a fire in the gas fireplace or cocktails before dinner. There are french doors that lead to the patio, where you can enjoy the serenity of the fountain and the garden. The casita has its own small patio area and fountain plus separate bath. There are two twin beds and a Queen size sleeper sofa in the upstairs loft. This is a great option for two families, because it adds more space with it’s own seating area equipped with fireplace, TV with DVD and CD player. This house has all of the amenities and comforts of home with the best of the best. There is Vonage phone that you can use to call the states for free and receive calls from a US area code. There is also high-speed internet, if you want to bring down your computer and still be connected to reality. The housekeeper/cook who comes 6 days a week, can prepare 1-2 meals a day, if you desire. No pets and no smoking please. Much of the bedding, wall hangings and table runners come from India. In addition there are pictures from China, the Czech Republic and Spain, framed textiles from Guatemala, rugs from Peru, silk fabrics from Bhutan and Thailand and other items including pillows from Egypt, Burma or Myanmar and even Ireland. Of course, we have focused heavily on Mexican handicrafts and folk art. We have tried to support local artisans and have purchased the beds and much of the furniture locally. I love Mexican folk art and hope to expand my collection as I travel around Mexico in the coming years. Most of the art on the walls is substantially done by local artists as well. I have also tried to bring in books relating to Mexican design, art, artists and folk art as well as Mexican history and religion. Even the music and films I have provided showcase Mexican artists and films. Mexico has a wonderful history and culture and I want you to appreciate it as much as I do.
