Casa Zaca, 3BR Centro Home with Rooftop & Garden

Bienvenida a Casa Zaca, an elegant home in the highly sought after flat-walking area of Centro. Its history began years ago as a two-room bilingual school and was later transformed into a charming 3-bedroom and 3.5-bathroom private home. A total, top-to-bottom renovation and remodel was completed using the best architects, contractors and landscape designer. The stunning result is that of an upscale boutique hotel combined with the charm of Colonial Mexico. Located through a charming alley, past a beautiful wrought iron gate and far enough away from the hustle and bustle of busy streets, this home is an oasis within the city. This exquisitely decorated property boasts a lovely indoor-outdoor living room on the ground level with gas fireplace, a light filled charming garden area with mature trees, and multiple terrace spaces on every level of the home. The rooftop terrace is perfect for entertaining and has a firepit and fountain. The galley kitchen is fully-equipped and well thought out. The open concept living room and dining room area flank the kitchen and look out onto the garden. Each bedroom is light filled and has its own ensuite bathroom, ceiling fan and closet space and each opens up to a terrace or patio. Guests will have access to the entire house. Private accommodations for you and your group. The entry/access instructions will be emailed to you 1-day prior to arrival. Housekeeping is provided every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

This isn’t unique to this home—this is part of daily life anywhere in Centro and other neighborhoods throughout the city. As a courtesy, we wanted to let you know that at any moment you might hear: · Church bells ringing at 5am (or all night, because… why not?) · Fireworks all night or early in the morning for who-knows-what celebration (seriously, no one knows) · Endless parades marching right past your door, closing major streets & causing traffic delays · The trash truck ringing their bells, announcing their arrival · The whistle of the knife-sharpening guy making his rounds · Construction at any given moment just to keep things interesting · Not to mention, dogs barking or roosters crowing And because this is a 400-year-old colonial town in Mexico, protected by the federal historic society to preserve its centuries-old charm, the infrastructure has its own personality, too. Think cobblestone streets & uneven sidewalks (bring comfy shoes), intermittent power or water outages, the occasional siesta from the internet or hot water, water leaks from the rain, or a passing sewer smell here and there—all a gentle reminder that life here moves at its own pace. This is the Centro experience—vibrant, alive, unpredictable, and unapologetic. If you’re a light sleeper who needs absolute silence or modern perfection, Centro may not be for you. But if you can embrace it, imperfections and all, you’ll experience the real magic of San Miguel. So, consider this a friendly notice—you’ve chosen this lively city, and that’s exactly why we love it. We invite you to lean into the quirks. Please, no complaints; it’s all part of the charm.
