Overview
2 Bedrooms, 2 Bathrooms, Sleeps 4
Welcome to La Malagueña, a getaway that will enthrall your senses and nurture your spirit.
Our house is in the heart of downtown Guanajuato in the most beautiful plaza in town-Plaza San Fernando. From our house you can comfortably walk to most historical and cultural sites and many language schools, restaurants, cafes, and bars. We're only a few steps from the Basilica de Guadalupe, Teatro Juarez, Mercado Hidalgo, and the University of Guanajuato. Since our house is in the heart of downtown you don't have to climb steep narrow streets or callejones.
Our home was originally built in the 18th century and has been restored and remodeled several times, the last time by the renowned Mexican artist, Juan Ibañez. It's made from adobe so it naturally warms and cools the house and the temperature inside is always ideal. Its construction is of stone and pine with copper accents. It takes advantage of the Mexican sun and sky and its position on the most beautiful square in Guanajuato with French doors opening onto the fountain below and a wonderful rooftop garden in which you can sit and while away the time, above it all.
Our place is ideal for the seasoned traveler who prefers the comforts of home combined with the uniqueness of a true Mexican experience.
You'll not only enjoy the comfort, style, and location of our place but also the hospitality of our staff. ¡BIENVENIDOS!!!
About Maria Demello
My husband and I lived in Guanajuato for many years and loved living there, however, due to the nature of our professions we had to relocate. We come back to Guanajuato every chance we get but when we are not there, we like to share our place with visiting travelers.
Since we both love to travel, we try to provide our guests with the same standards of excellence that we expect when we travel.
Maria Demello purchased this house in 1997
Why Maria Demello chose Zona Centro
La Malagueña is truly a magical house. There is no other house in town quite like ours. The architecture is so unusual that it's difficult to describe but every room is filled with character and style. There are plants everywhere in the house, even in the bathrooms. The rooftop is a peaceful oasis with more than 100 plants and a great view of the mountains, Plaza San Roque, the University of Guanajuato, the Mercado that make you feel you're on top of the world.
Our location is unbeatable! You are in the center of everything. You don't even have to go out of the house to enjoy Guanajuato because the vibrancy of the city comes to you. When you open the balcony doors to the plaza, you let in the festivities and can hear the concerts, view the performances, sing along with the troubadours or simply people watch as you enjoy a glass of wine or a Margarita.
What makes this house unique
* Flexible check-in and check-out. No set policy unless we have other guests arriving the same day.
* Bilingual administrator who is only a call away for any needs or recommendations and 24/7 for emergencies.
* We offer great bilingual walking tours of Guanajuato with historical, cultural, and social insights of the downtown and less know but as important sites outside the center of town.

Beatiful house in a Great location
La Malagueña is a 150 year old house, very well remodeled, very comfortable and decorated with excellent taste. The gardens are fantastic and the views in the second floor, to the Plaza San Fernando, and the third floor wher you can see the the heart of the city, at 3 minutes walk. To the oposite side at similar distance are the city market and the historic museums.
I look foward to return to this house in the future

Unique stay in a unique city
This apartment is just as quirky and amazing as we remembered it being from 8 years ago. If you like staying in fun/interesting places, you'll love La Malagueña. I'd give it 4.5 stars if I could. The property manager, Lorena, is fantastic and makes your arrival easy. And the location, right on lively Plaza de San Fernando, puts you close to almost everything. Be aware, the structure and floor plan make this place best suitable for a couple or small family, though we had a friend with us who was perfectly happy in the second bedroom. The building is old, so you hear a lot of squeaks and creaks from the floors (master bedroom is pretty loud), doors, etc., but the town is generally noisy, so it tends to blend in. There are also steep stairs from the ground to 2nd floor and a spiral staircase to the 3rd floor, at 6600 ft above sea level, so anyone with physical problems should probably stay elsewhere. We'll being going back, though – this one-of-a-kind apartment is as unique as the city and makes for a very memorable stay!
The best place in Guanajuato
This was my fifth time staying here. It is FANTASTIC in every way. The location on San Fernando Square is unparalleled. The house...well you just have to come see for yourself. You will not be disappointed.
Great party house.
Great location, easy walking distance to just about everything. We loved the home,but if you're someone who must have quiet to sleep, look elsewhere because there is something going on every night in the square. Better than this home is the staff. Lorena is a gim and lead us on a great tour of the city, and Sote, the house keeper, is an sweetheart and an amazing cook who we hired to fix us breakfast every morning. Also, Manuel, our driver, took us on several day trips as well as picked us up and delivered us to the airport without a hitch. Finally, Maria is one of the most patient and helpful property owner. Thank you all for a trip we will always remember. My main complaint is about the very squeaky wood floors, but we'd squeak, too, if we were 200 years old.
Beautiful and perfect location!
This was the perfect house for us, in the perfect location. We were looking to stay in an authentic colonial home and that is exactly what we got. The location on Plaza de San Fernando was a great central location, and we were treated to nightly seranades by the strolling troubadours! As an extra unexpected treat, we watched the Passion of the Christ procession directly from the French doors that open on to the plaza. Maria, Lorena, and Osvaldo went beyond themselves to make sure we were comfortable. We are already plotting our return!
The most beautiful place I have ever stayed and I’ve stayed in many beautiful places
This house is huge. It is an artists delight. It feels very historic with many little patios, roof top garden, small balconies, little passageways, huge windows, very large rooms, exquisite views, high end furniture, and wonderful amenities. Plants are everywhere lending the sense of being in a well preserved hacienda. Don’t even get me started on Lorena and Maria who cheerfully and sensitively will help you with any problem or need. I cannot say enough.
