Villa Maria Cristina

I had mentioned to my wife a couple of weeks ago that I needed a short break. I had been working quite a lot and wanted something special. Boy, did I get it. She booked us at the Villa Maria Cristina in Guanajuato. What a wonderful stay! You didn't really need to leave the hotel although Guanajuato is a colorful and active city. The staff is first rate and each of them go out of their way to make your visit a total pleasure. The restaurant downstairs is fabulous. We tend toward being "foodies," especially my wife. The service was outstanding and the food incredible. Our room was perfect. But more than anything, I come back to the staff. Klaus was on top of everything. Alex was extremely attentive and made sure everything was right for us. NO QUESTION we will stay again and it will be soon.

The Villa Maria Cristina was superb. The room and grounds were spectacular, as was the service. Staff was attentive (but not overbearing) and helped with transit from the airport, local taxis, and anything else we needed. The restaurant was very good, and room service was prompt. We had not planned ahead for Valentines Day, and yet they found a table for us without missing a beat, even though the restaurant was obviously very busy. The prices, while not inexpensive, were fair and reasonable. We also were not nickled and dimed with hidden fees: the price was as stated, and there was not even a charge for sodas and water in the mini-fridge. One concern I had going in was the distance to the city center, but we found the walk (15-20) minutes to be an advantage, as the hotel is a bit separated from the very busy streets of the old town. In sum, we loved the hotel and hope to be back soon.

We had an excellent time at VMC - the resort is beautiful and in a lovely setting, set apart from the downtown, but still within an easy 20 minute walk of the historic center, if you're so inclined. The room was clean and quiet, the staff always friendly and helpful, and the service top notch. We especially appreciated the assistance of Klaus and his staff in sorting out our transportation options on our departure! We came here after visiting Mexico City and San Miguel de Allende - Guanajuato is most definitely worth the visit, for its history, scenery, culture, cuisine and people. Our visit was too short!

A clean, quiet, and restful hotel. It sits just outside the central city but is an easy walk or cab ride. The hotel has lovely and unique ceramic murals. Quiet grounds.

This hotel is absolutely stunning! It was the perfect spot from which to explore Guanajuato. It's located up the hill from the Centro so it is quiet and calm, but an easy walk into the heart of the town. The rooms are big and beautifully decorated, the pool and spa area were so relaxing, and the hotel restaurant made delicious food. We would happily stay here again the next time we are in the area. ¡Muchas gracias!
