There's something about Las Bovedas that is both inviting and genteel. For instance, it is ideal for two as a honeymoon hide-away, being just the right size and offering secluded privacy. A honeymoon couple will love the convenience of the location.

This apartment is also perfectly suitable for a family of 3-4, including teenagers and pre-teens. Families will appreciate the proximity to language schools and the Botanical Garden, shopping and restaurants.

Las Bovedas is a commodious and excellently furnished apartment. This warm home is convenient to the Jardin (the center of town, just three blocks away), while remaining quiet and peaceful, a world away from the hustle and bustle of San Miguel Centro. If you want the ambience of Mexico, and the comforts of a restful home not too far from the center of town, Las Bovedas is for you.

Outside the front door, there is a private welcoming patio with comfortable chairs and small tables for al fresco dining or painting activities.

The upper deck, open to ideal weather year round, provides the perfect perspective for enjoying the artwork on the walls surrounding the cozy complex.

The beauty of the high domed brick ceiling, which is called a "boveda" in Mexico, is captivating. Streaming light from the bay window fills you with contentment. The tile floors are polished to resemble old leather, and a tall-chimneyed gas fireplace is set into a rugged rock wall. Comfortable furnishings complete the striking and welcoming room.

On the far side, a broad bay window frames a view over the trees to the rooftops and church spires of downtown. You will find it hard to believe that you're just a ten minute walk from the very center of San Miguel. Careful attention to architectural and decorative details makes this room the perfect place to entertain guests at night, or to spend a few relaxing hours in front of the fireplace, reading or watching the TV or the VCR.

On the other side of the great room and under the balcony bedroom, is a king sized bed and two massive antique carved armoires.

Book cases and art work adorn the walls. The fully tiled bathroom with shower is also conveniently located in this area. For people who are comfortable in open rooms, this apartment is ideal. The high domed ceilings and the quality of light lend a feeling of spaciousness.

Up the spiral staircase and under another boveda ceiling, is a loft bedroom with a double bed. It can comfortably sleep one adult; one teenager; or two responsible, younger children. It can also be used as a private getaway area for reading or relaxing. A desk next to the window allows a wonderful view while working on your postcards. There are more bookcases here, as well as an additional TV.

The dining room is situated between the living room and the kitchen. It has comfortable seating for 4-6 at a round table, highlighted by a lovely and graceful chandelier of punched tin, visible under the arched doorway into the living room.

Ample cabinets and shelves are supplied with Dansk and Mexican dishes, as well as colorful glassware. All modern appliances, from a gas stove, to a good sized refrigerator, toaster oven, blender, coffee maker and microwave are provided. Conveniently located in front of the large arched window is a pleasant breakfast area overlooking the tree shaded private patio, the entryway into the apartment.

The amiable owner is nearby to answer your questions or handle any problems you might have. All utilities are included in the rent, as well as basic cable TV and maid service twice a week. Long distance phone calls and excess gas/electric usage will be deducted from the phone/damage deposit. The owner requests that you treat his home as you would your own place. If anything gets broken, please let him know, so he won't blame the maid.

You'll go home with unforgettable memories after staying in Las Bovedas, and who knows! Maybe you'll be back the next year.
