Vacation Rental Description

Our house, La Casa de Los Abuelos, is a recently remodeled city house in the historic district of the city of 
Santiago de Querétaro, in the colonial highlands of Mexico. The house is all on one floor - ground level; three 
rooms on each side of a central open patio with small fountain. The bedrooms and library are on one side, the 
Living Room, Dining Room and kitchen on the other.  
There are two spacious bedrooms: a master bedroom with queen size bed and view into the patio and an even 
larger guest bedroom. Each bedroom has its own full bath, done in Mexican talavera tile.  Separating the two 
bedrooms is the library with gas burning fireplace, books, games and television with DVD player. There is 
wireless internet service for your computer and TV cable.  Also, there are many internet cafes close by and 
throughout the city.
The cozy sala (living room) is furnished with traditional but elegant burgundy leather “equipale” furniture, CD 
player, and game table. The dining room has a table with six chairs and large glass doors to the patio. The 
colorful, fully equipped Mexican kitchen has a microwave as well as full size Whirlpool appliances including 
dishwasher and a purified water system. There is also a roof top cactus garden with view of the city. 

Vacation Rental Amenities

The house comes with bed linens and towels and includes a washer and dryer. It has very high ceilings, and 
small skylights in the library and bathrooms. The floors are all Mexican tile. It’s light and airy and very 
comfortable.  Bedrooms, kitchen and living room have ceiling fans. The walls are 3 ft. thick, so it is cool in the 
warmest months (April and May). The library is cozy and warm with the gas fireplace on rare chilly evenings or 
mornings in the short winter.  The house is self-catering but with maid service cleaning once a week.  It is also 
possible to arrange extra maid service or cooking. 

Activities and Attractions

Querétaro, (pronounced Keh-rét-ah-roh) has a central historic district designated as a United Nations World 
Heritage site, but is also a modern economically up-scale city. It is over 475 years old and has a rich history 
including important events in the War for Independence from Spain, the Revolution (1910-1920) and the 
Maximillian era. Our house, in the historic district, is within easy walking distance of 6 beautiful plazas (including 
the main Jardin Zenea), cafes, charming pedestrian walkways, restaurants, first rate museums, art galleries and 
the historic Theater of the Republic -- the home of the Querétaro Symphony Orchestra. There are several large 
typical Mexican markets, one only a block away from la casa. The city is noted for its large mansions, churches, 
ex-convents and monasteries built in the 17and 18th centuries. An important historic monument of the city is 
the early l8th century aqueduct spanning 1280 meters. There are many restaurants (traditional Mexican and 
international food – vegetarian available) and even the best are very reasonably priced. It is a vibrant city with 
a lively nightlife. It’s well known as a safe, and a clean city, very welcoming to visitors, but retaining its 
traditional Mexican lifestyle.  The streets are swept twice a day and trash picked up every night of the year. 
You can stroll around the center until all hours of the night and find music, theater, street performers or just 
families out having fun. We will supply maps and calendars of events. Mexico is always a fiesta, and some of the 
best are celebrated here in Querétaro.  Google Queretaro tourbymexico for photos, or de-paseo for weekly 
events.

The climate in the central highlands of Mexico is ideal – daytime temperatures 70s-80s ALL YEAR).  There is no 
wrong time of the year to visit Querétaro – it is cooler in the summer months than most of the US. It is in the 
high desert so there’s no humidity.   Very easy day trips to San Miguel de Allende, Tequisquiapan and Bernal. 
Climbers take note: Bernal has the world’s third largest monolith.  

Querétaro has a new, still small, international airport (QRO) with direct flights from Houston on Continental and 
direct flights from Atlanta on Delta; it is also easily accessible from Mexico City (MEX) by modern autobus -- ($25) 
3 hours non-stop – and from the international airport at Guanajuato/León (BJX).
