Azucena B&B

Azucena B&B

We had originally planned on staying at a different bed and breakfast that was closely located to the friend we were visiting. However, after the original B&B lost our reservation, our friend decided to take a look at this place on the edge of the historic center. The lost reservation turned out to be serendipitous.

Upon arrival at the unassuming entrance from the street, you will see a lovely brick walkway leading up to the front of the house. On either side of the walkway, there are strips of lush grass with local sculptures. This all serves as a welcome introduction to the open design of the house and the bright Mexican color scheme.

There are four rooms in the Azucena, each with appointed in very different styles. Two of the rooms share a bathroom, so if having a private bathroom is important to you, make sure to reserve either Kukulkan or Arcangeles. Another side note: if you have trouble getting hot water in the shower, as we did on the first day, let the hot water run in the sink for 5 minutes first. This solution was suggested by the staff and seemed to solve the problem.

We found the nights to be very quiet and conducive to a night of good sleep. It was a wonderful feeling to be reminded in the morning of just how far from a U.S. city we were by the sounds of roosters crowing. Breakfast was served between 8 and 10 in the morning. Three square tables were pushed together to allow for all the guests to eat together. This was a nice touch as it provided an opportunity to meet the other guests. Breakfast included coffee, tea, fresh-squeezed juice, fresh-cut fruit, yogurt and granola, toast, jam, and an entrée. The entrées usually consisted of some concoction of beans and cheese, all of which were delicious. Two young women did all of the cooking and serving. They provided all of the guests with wonderful service and useful information about the area.

This B&B does not filter the water that comes out of the water taps. They do, however, provide a pitcher of filtered water in each of the guest rooms. They also have a water cooler with filtered water in the kitchen. This can be used to refill the pitchers or water bottles.

For a pleasant stay in San Miguel, check out the Azucena for a moderately priced stay (by US standards) with many comforts.
