END OF SUMMER UPDATE

Summer is over? Well, that was fast! The chill in the air these mornings in San Miguel is a refreshing change for those of us who live here. But days are still hot, with intermittent breaks for a little rain here and there. With it comes dazzling cloud formations, outrageous lightning and thunder, torrential downpours, followed by sunshine that clears away the water so fast you'd hardly know it had rained. Right on target for our rainy season. 

Meandering around with my coffee this morning, I was struck by how much the rain has changed the look of the plants and trees on the terrace. So much is happy and flourishing. Then I remembered that I haven't sent out the new prices and updates for A ROOM OF HER OWN / CASA ELENA, for the upcoming season. If you're looking to get away to recharge, please consider this lovely little piece of paradise I've created for people just like you and me. The best part is, it's open for weekly stays now, rather than only monthly options. 

Many of you have told me that you just can't get away for an entire month, so I've recalibrated the possibilities and can now offer them to you. There was a cancellation last week, so as of right now, there is availability from October 2024 through February 2025. So now, I present you with the whole scoop about the rental!
