Oddly enough, Villa Maria Cristina reminded me of the floating palaces of Udaipur, India, for it's gorgeous pink tile work, dark teak wood furnishings, and open air palatial feel. Our room was small, but cozy, dark and luxurious, quiet. Best sleep ever. Breakfast was formal and full service. Lovely. Someone mentioned that VMC is not central, but in fact, it... More

First, for those going to Guanajuato, this hotel is a 5-7 minute ($5 to $7) cab ride or solid 25 minute walk to/from the centro. It's located in the cleaner, nicer La Presa neighborhood. But, that's all ok and actually a plus. Guanajuato is magical city but it can crowded, congested and dirty in parts. This classic luxury hotel is... More

Just completed another stay at this amazing property and can say that every aspect of my visit was outstanding. Kudos to Nelson and his team for doing such a great job and taking care of every detail. Lunches were a highlight, with the tapas dishes being particularly yummy (try the shrimp tacos, they are devine) as well as the flambé... More

Stopped here on our way south while driving from Ottawa, Canada to Mexico City. Villa Maria Cristina made our stop in Guanajuato just perfect for road weary travellers. Quaint is a good word. Top-notch service to rival the best small, luxury hotels in the world. If ever back in Guanajuato (and I think we will be), we'll definitely stay here... More

We arrived in Guanajuato and to our dismay, the B&B for which we had made a reservation was quite different (not in a good way) from what we read on Trip Advisor. Using The Lonely Planet, we set out to look for their favourite pick for Guanajuato, Villa Maria Cristina. In spite of our last minute request, we were offered... More

I don't understand why you would stay here when there are better locations, views. Only if you want to pay highest price. It's a pretty, formal property. The spa was very unimpressive and even with an appointment, it was being cleaned and machinery out on the floor.

Had the most delicious, beautifully prepared lunch at this "jewel" of a hotel. As good as any 5 Star establishment in NYC or Paris. Beautifully appointed with nothing left to chance. I recommend the grilled shrimp with risotto to start.

I spent two nights in Villa Maria Cristina in January 2011. Wonderful! It is still in walking distance to the city center of Guanajuato and simply a jewel. Don't miss having breakfast on the sunroof with a sunbath session afterwards. And the sauna/swimming pool in the evening. This is onenof the hotels where you might forget that you actually wanted...
