Property details

Perched at the highest point in Ajijic, San Rafael 3BD offers sweeping Lake Chapala views—you're not on the lakeshore, but above it with the best vantage in town. The living area opens to your private terrace; shared outdoor areas (pool, gardens, hot tub) may be used alongside Galeana, our guest suite for up to two people. Morning light, mountain air, roosters calling from the valley below. Three bedrooms with fresh linens and storage. Three-and-a-half bathrooms with essentials provided. Full indoor kitchen plus outdoor grill kitchen. Free parking on premises. Enhanced cleaning practices keep everything fresh. A mountain trail climbs right behind the house; Ajijic center—restaurants, galleries, shops—is a short walk downhill. This is where families slow down, breathe, and take in the lake from above. Pets: Not allowed. Smoking: Not allowed. Events: Not allowed. Suitable for: children and infants. Additional rules: Important Notes - The owner lives in a separate part of the main villa, ensuring guest privacy. - Three friendly dogs reside on the property. - The estate requires stair climbing and is not wheelchair accessible. - Due to the presence of dogs and hazardous plants, the property is unsuitable for children without constant supervision. - A caretaker lives on-site in a separate area for maintenance and guest assistance. - This is a shared property: Another guest may be occupying the bedroom near the pool area during your stay.
