About this house rental

This home is on the market (Mar 2021) for sale so we are not accepting any reservations this far in advance...Casa Tonatiuh is the creation of two local businessmen with a love for the traditional Mexican style. Their design utilizes antique Mexican architectural features like the immense wooden doors that greet you at the street, ornamental iron detailing and hand crafted 'mosaico' floors on the lower lever and beautiful tropical wood floors in both bedrooms. The decorative use of Mexican Talavera tile combined with inlaid antique mesquite wood planks gives a very warm feeling of old Mexico. We do offer special rates for stays 3 months and longer. Please write us for those rates
Even though this is a very new three level Mexican home you will get the feeling you are stepping into the colonial Mexican period.
Casa Tonatiuh (named after the Aztec Sun God) is located in the heart of Ajijic Village just 50 ft. from the Lakefront park. The rooftop terrace includes a wet bar, coffee maker, gas BBQ, TV, Sirius Satellite radio and a rooftop garden planted with organically grown veggies and herbs for your consumption.
Two light airy bedrooms (one with balcony), large living room, fully equipped kitchen, lower level interior patio with fountain, separate laundry and a half bath on ground level.
Tastefully decorated with original Mexican art, quality furniture, excellent beds and bedding. Wi-Fi and cell phone provided. All utilities included.

I'm assuming that you already know Ajijic is a great spot, so I'll focus on this house. It's a wonderful place to stay. Two floors plus a rooftop deck - kitchen/dining/living room/toilet on the first, 2 bedrooms and a bathroom on the second, deck on the third. The house is full of wonderful art and tile work, and has a colonial Spanish feel. The rooftop deck has a grill and a spice garden, enabling us to grill vegetables that we bought at the farmers' market while enjoying the view. The malecon is within very easy walking distance, and makes a great place for an evening stroll. Ajijic's central square is about 4 blocks away and is a wonderful place to dine and watch people. The area can be busy on weekends, as the malecon attracts lots of visitors, but folks are generally well-behaved. As an avid hiker, I found the trails in the mountains above town to be challenging, with tremendous views on top - trailheads are within easy walking distance. The owners are very responsive and hospitable, and had the house cleaned periodically during our stay. All in all, we loved the place!

Our Host Thomas could not have been more helpful. He was very fast on answering questions. The home was very close to everything we wanted. The home was also beautifully appointed. We especially enjoyed the roof terrace. I would stay here again.

The place is lovely. Very clean and comfortable. We spent most of our time on the mirador looking out at the views. Small issues were handled promptly and it is absolutely the best location in Ajijic. You can walk everywhere. Thank you for another great stay. Highly recommend!

Great location in the village and wonderful hosts!
Great location in the village and wonderful hosts!
We stayed the winter at Casa Tonatiuh and found our accommodation very comfortable—especially the king size bed!! Nice to have complimentary toiletries provided and even robes and slippers for us! Really like a B & B and you are right by the Malecon for daily walks plus only a short walk to the town square and all great restaurants are within walking distance. Hosts, Tom and Ricardo were handy and prompt if we needed anything. All said, our only complaint was the street became noisy on weekends due to cars leaving the waterfront and speeding up the one-way street outside with music blaring. Generally the noise settled by 10 pm so not a totally huge issue. Great for a first visit to this town as you are so close to Lake Chapala Society where you can join any number of groups for exercise, TED talks, Spanish classes, local art exhibits and even a small coffee shop if you want to connect with others and learn about life in Ajijic—-and beyond. They also do bus tours and signups from their beautifully kept garden. Thanks to Tom and Ricardo for a very pleasant winter spent enjoying the sunshine from the rooftop patio deck and exploring the many aspects of Ajijic. Adios—-for now!

Beautiful home with attentive owners. Perfect location for walking the The Ajijic malacon. The rooftop patio was our favorite spot with views of Mountains and lake. Our month stay in December was memorable. We highly recommend.
