A fantasy come to life
As others have said, even the stunning pictures don't do this place justice. From the moment you step into the rather unassuming front door, you're in a convincing recreation of a Spanish colonial mission. The artwork, the floor tiles, the furniture, the metalwork fixtures, the courtyard, the extensive rooftop gardens... at any moment, you expect Zorro to come bursting in to save the day.Four of us spent a month here, and even after two weeks, I was still finding some pleasing new detail in the decor, some overlooked clever touch in the design. We spent many relaxing hours around the pool in the quiet back courtyard. We enjoyed the open-air shower off the main bedroom.Yet for all its fidelity to a world centuries past, Greg's place is a modern home. In a first for us in Mexico, we could drink the tap water and flush the toilet paper along with the wastes. Yes, a faucet handle would occasionally fall off in our hands, but we chalked that up to charm.Greg is a tremendously attentive host. He lives in the adjacent building and left us perfectly alone unless we asked him for something: more coffee, another roll of paper towels. He'd deliver within hours that same day.The house may not work for people with walking disabilities. You must navigate several stairs to reach the front door and the main shower, and the bathrooms lack handrails. Not complaining — handrails would mar the 16th-century effect. Just be aware.Our stay was absolutely great.
