The living room in this luxury retreat has a double-height ceiling, filling the floor plan with natural light. The house’s rooftop swimming pool has a glass bottom which serves as a skylight, casting a subtle teal hue throughout the home. This unique effect is due to the small, polished glass beads that possess an individual brilliance. Casa Karina’s hi hi artwork makes use of thick wood as a canvas. All the pieces are by Lola Picó - a local artist originally from Lleida, Spain.
The ground floor hosts one of the spacious bedroom suites, which opens up to the main living room area. This bedroom is furnished with a king-sized bed and has a fireplace. The en-suite bathroom features a double vanity with sinks upscaled from coffee mortars, quartzite counters, and tan riverstone flooring. The room is complete with a bathtub and shower. 
The chef’s kitchen perfectly blends contemporary functionality with attractive vintage-chic finishes. The open kitchen features a complete range of Viking appliances, including a professional oven, a dishwasher, and a French-door refrigerator. The counters are finished in raw quartzite while the basin sink is made from a large river stone. The ground floor also includes a bar area, which is stocked with mezcal and wine for guests’ enjoyment. 
The second bedroom in Casa Karina is located on the upper level and also features a king-sized bed and a fireplace. This bedroom also has a cozy reading nook/window seat which captures sight of the Parroquia. The en-suite bathroom is finished with grey shaved stone flooring, a riverstone sink, and a large walk-in shower. 
Additional rooms on the upper floor include a TV room with a custom L-shaped sofa and an office with a desk and a Balinese day bed. This can accommodate an extra adult or two children, putting the sleeping capacity of the home at six.

Casa Karina - San Miguel Allende

I've been to San Miguel de Allende many times and have always liked the places I've stayed. But I've now found the place I LOVE to stay. Casa Karina is gorgeous, the rooftop is stunning, and Andres is the best host I've ever had. If you are looking for a relaxing time in a house that is almost too good to ever leave with a host that has thought of it all and is available 24/7, this is your place. I won't stay anywhere else moving forward - Casa Karina is the best.

Don't Stay Anywhere Else - Casa Karina is the Best

Fantastic house in a perfect location. We had all these plans to go to rooftops around town but ended up staying home for every sunset. Andres’ place has the best view in town, hands down! We opted to have the pool heated, and it was definitely worth it. Also, we sent a list of groceries we wanted to have pre-stocked in the fridge: breakfast/happy hour items and wine - another smart move and everything was perfect. Cannot wait to go back!

Fantastic house in a perfect location.

Andres & Julia are two of the best hosts we have come in contact with. There isn't one thing they didn't think of when they built Casa Karina! Hands down the best Airbnb we've ever stayed in; furthermore in one of the most special places in all of Mexico! Andres and Julia are the consummate hosts. They assisted us with any question, helped us navigate the parking, the town and where to go for just about anything. Casa Karina is a true smart home from locks, lights, and fireplaces all easy to use with an app. Also their guidebook was best in class for restaurants and shopping. Design wise - it's rustic but simple; not fussy. The kitchen is outfitted with Viking everything and made for an incredible cooking experience despite the amazing rooftop grill and seating area perfect for sunsets and dinner. The linens, the beds and every single feature especially the living room hammock near the fireplace made for an unforgettable experience. It's rare when a home, significant in architectural detail is coupled with a level of taste and expert hosting that all comes together. We're already talking about when we will be heading back to San Miguel & Casa Karina. it's not a rental property but an experience. Thanks again Andres & Julia - everything was perfect... look forward to visiting again!

Hands down the best Airbnb we've ever stayed in

From beginning to end, this was a perfect stay. If only every vacation could be this delightful, this easy, and this beautiful. Andres' place is fantastic. The details are pretty amazing, everything is attractive and perfect - the beds are comfortable, the bathrooms are incredible (especially the massive tub in the downstairs bath), the little touches (candles hidden in areas to make the ambience even greater), the fireplaces that work by remote control, the music that works via your phone app, and the view, which is breathtaking at all times of the day and night, not to mention the glass-bottom, rooftop pool - which is just not to be believed. You are surrounded by beauty every minute. Rosario, who comes into clean, is a gem. When you are here, you feel as though you are really, truly on vacation. She takes care of everything. Andres is always available to help out, make recommendations, order groceries, stock the fridge before your arrival, and greet you when you check in. He has created a little piece of Heaven, and it was oh-so-very-hard to check out. I hope to be back soon...I realize this review is a bit hyperbolic but I mean all of it!

From beginning to end, this was a perfect stay.

Andres' place is stylish - great architecture and amenities - other people we traveled with where jealous of our Airbnb finding :) He was very attentive and helpful. Make sure to ask for the pool heating if you want to enjoy the view and terraza in the cold season. Overall a great experience! Gracias!
