- This is typical San Miguel house and as with most private homes in San Miguel there is  NO central heat or air conditioning. Only restaurants and hotels have heat and ac in San Miguel. We have rolling propane heaters, one for upstairs and one for downstairs, a down blanket, flannel sheets and an electric blanket for winter months. The upstairs rooms have ceiling fans and the entire house has wide French doors and windows for summer cross breezes. If you require central heat and air this is not the house for you.

- Throughout Mexico tap water can be of questionable quality. Purified bottled water is available, please drink and cook only with  bottled water and not water from the tap.
