I've been bringing artists to San Miguel for nearly 10 years but have not been back in a while. I might be working with a major art school in NYC to bring painters back and would love to know the lodging possibilities for a group of at least 15. I would need to stay within walking distance of el jardin.
Can you indicate a budget and whether your artists will be doubling up, since that would influence the number of rooms required.
I'd like to average $100 a room - would need perhaps 15 rooms and 10 of those might be doubles

A Canadian art teacher friend used to put her groups in the Mansion del Bosque. I think it has a bit more character than the Aldea, but the price should be right. It has 23 rooms.
Hi - I'm familiar with Mansion del Bosque. I even did a painting of Ruth when I had a group there years ago. I have no idea if she's still around though.

However the website has not been updated since 2010
thanks for that...
Check out Casa Calderoni. We used that for a group of well heeled artists from Savannah. They were very happy Not sure if they have enough rooms. Contact my wife at lindasoberman@gmail.com if you are looking for artist contacts...also see www.lindasoberman.com
