This is a peaceful place of ideas and inspiration, where stress just
melts away. Affordable elegance, this boutique bed and breakfast
offers the ultimate in comfort and breathtaking views. A refreshing
blend of rural serenity and sophisticated hospitality, Casa Mellado is
an amicable, light-filled place with only the sounds of birds, and
local children at play.

This retreat was designed by Capelo, one of Guanajuato's most notable
artists. Everywhere you look - from the iron gates, to the ceramic
murals, to the terrace's mosaic lizards created in local stone - the
artist's fanciful style is apparent. The works of this "master of
majolica" demonstrates a reverence for Spanish colonial ceramic -
successfully married with a contemporary aesthetic. The tiles,
showers and wash basins, in each of the seven luxury rooms, make
evident the majolica ceramic techniques Capelo studied while in
Portugal, Spain and Italy. The décor combines the textures and colors
of Guanajuato, while the boveda ceilings offer luxury of space and
tranquility. Quality towels, linens and toiletries make Casa Mellado
the perfect getaway.

We take pride in creating the ultimate escape. Knowledgeable about the
region, we can recommend cultural events, eco-tours, restaurants and
site-seeing while visiting the UNESCO World Heritage Site of gorgeous
Guanajuato. Discreet and attentive, Casa Mellado staff leave guests
with only the chore of figuring how to spend their days. Not to be
missed is the nearby17th century Templo de Mellado; an architectural
hymn to the silver miners who continue to worship and work in this
hillside town.

And at the end of the day, you can sip a glass of wine, admire the
panoramic sunset and then retreat to your own restful suite and
fireplace. What could be better?
