Having recently won the top spot as one most enchanting destinations in Mexico—and indeed the world—it’s no wonder that the alluring town of San Miguel de Allende attracts visitors from all over the world. With its quaint, colonial-era architecture, first-class restaurants of all kinds, and a burgeoning arts and culture scene, San Miguel de Allende promises to beguile travelers with its easygoing charm at every turn.
But for those looking for more contemporary accommodations that are out of the town’s main hustle and bustle, look no further than Casa Dom, a modern tiny house that is situated at the end of an unpaved road, past the southern edge of town.
The barrel-vaulted, concrete structure is designed by T+M Arquitectos, and blends in seamlessly with its environment, thanks to its low-key profile and the deliberate lack of any exterior ornamentation.
The interior has been thoughtfully designed for simplicity and comfort, featuring an open-concept living space that includes a double-height sitting lounge, kitchen, bathroom, and a mezzanine-level sleeping area with a king-sized bed.
The lounge is outfitted with a luxurious sofa to relax in. Guests can opt for a cozy movie night by deploying the large projector screen that rolls down, doubling as blackout blinds that cover the glass facade.
The modern kitchen is well-equipped with everything needed to make meals or a hot drink, as well as utensils for cooking on the outdoor barbecue. The bathroom boasts a freestanding soaking tub that’s perfect for a rejuvenating dip.
The interior is filled with natural light, thanks to the floor-to-ceiling glass windows at one end of this rentable tiny house, which can be opened to welcome nature inside.
The carefully arranged outdoor area is shaded with mesquite and cactus trees, and includes a sitting area, hammock, and a charcoal-fired grill. To continue on this casita’s theme of relaxation, there’s also a huge outdoor tub where guests can enjoy a serene soak, watching the stars turn above the hilly landscape.
Beyond the cozy confines of this contemporary tiny vacation home, visitors can explore everything that San Miguel de Allende has to offer. According to one travel expert, it’s best to take it slow and spontaneously in this laidback town, where one can easily wander around to find free live music events, museums, galleries, artisanal shops, and all kinds of gastronomy, as well as local wines and tequila tours in abundance.
Nightly rates at Casa Dom start at $106 on casitaMX.com.
