Casa Piedras Chinas

Casa Piedras Chinas – An Artistic Sanctuary in the Heart of Centro

In the heart of San Miguel de Allende’s iconic Centro neighborhood, just an easy 11-minute stroll (850 m) to the main square (El Jardín) and 9 minutes (600 m) to Parque Juárez, lies a home unlike any other. Imagine crossing the threshold into a place that feels alive with soul and imagination. Here, the walls aren’t simply walls—they’re curved sculptures. The floors are rich clay canvases. The garden, with its mesquite trees, bamboo, flowering cacti, and tranquil pond, is a living gallery of nature. This is not just a home; it’s a sanctuary designed for dreamers, creators, and those who crave a life of beauty and inspiration, steps away from San Miguel’s vibrant heart.
