The Kalnay Gem
Description
Discover the essence of Valle de Bravo, a "Pueblo Mágico" (Magic Town) in the State of Mexico, located just an hour and a half from Mexico City via a world-class highway. This is a rare opportunity to stay in a property that is a work of art in itself. Designed by the legendary Bulgarian architect Francis Kalnay —known as the "Gaudí of Valle" for his creativity— this recently renovated home captures the iconic 1960s "Vallesano" style with a touch of contemporary luxury. The space Located on a picturesque, quiet street, the house is just steps away from the vibrant heart of the historic center, its finest restaurants, and boutiques, yet offers the absolute peace of a private retreat, far from the noise and traffic of downtown. The Space: A Sensory Experience - 180° Views: Admire the sailboats passing by and the spectacular sunrises and sunsets from the two private terraces with unique views of the lake. - Total Relaxation: Enjoy the open-air cantilevered jacuzzi, designed to overlook the town and lake landscapes in complete tranquility. - Architecture and Art: A bright and warm home, decorated with exclusive pieces of Mexican art. Each bedroom features its own fireplace, ensuring an intimate and cozy atmosphere. - Kitchen and Comfort: A fully equipped kitchen, perfect for preparing everything from your morning coffee to elaborate dinners. Additionally, the stay includes high-speed Wi-Fi, cable TV, and Netflix. Terraces and Social Areas - Upper Terrace: A privileged viewpoint with unparalleled views of the lake and mountains. It features comfortable furniture and a small dining area perfect for breakfast or enjoying a glass of wine, while also being the ideal spot for stargazing. - Lower Terrace: A space sheltered by a spectacular bougainvillea that provides natural shade and vibrant color. It includes a spacious lounge and a cozy dining area with umbrellas. - Outdoor Zone: On this level, you will find the jacuzzi, a large sunbed for lounging, a hammock, and a patio with a grill—an excellent setting to enjoy unforgettable meals with a partner or family. Unbeatable Location Forget the car. Enjoy the freedom of walking through the heart of this Magic Town from a typically "Vallesano" neighborhood that is quiet and peaceful. This is a home that captivates from the moment you arrive, with details that make you fall in love day by day, inviting you to return again and again. Guest access Access and Mobility Recommendations As our guest, you will have full access to the property and every corner designed for your enjoyment. To make your arrival and stay as comfortable as possible, we suggest keeping the following in mind: - Arriving at the House: The street in front of the property is intended exclusively for loading and unloading luggage. Being a historic home in the heart of Valle—like most traditional estates in the downtown area—we do not have private parking on-site. - Nearby Parking: For your convenience, we recommend using a public parking lot located just two blocks away. The approximate cost is $150 MXN per day; please note it operates independently from the house and closes at 10:00 PM. - Experience the Town on Foot: Our privileged location is the ultimate luxury. Valle’s streets are picturesque and narrow, so we invite you to leave the car behind and enjoy the freedom of walking through the town. Everything you need—restaurants, shops, and local charm—is just a few steps away. We are certain you will enjoy every moment of your stay in this unique sanctuary! Other things to note Important Information for Your Stay To ensure your experience is as perfect as the surroundings, we would like to share a few logistical details: - Arrival and Departure Times: Check-in is between 12:00 PM and 5:00 PM, and Check-out is before 11:00 AM. Should you require more flexibility, you may request an extension (subject to availability and for an additional fee). - Jacuzzi Experience: To enjoy the warmth of the jacuzzi, there is a $500 MXN heating fee per use. Due to its outdoor location, the system requires 3 to 4 hours to reach the optimal temperature, depending on the day's weather conditions. - Harmony and House Rules: In order to preserve the tranquility of the neighborhood and the artistic condition of the property, pets are not allowed, smoking is prohibited inside the house, and loud gatherings or parties are not permitted. Likewise, the house capacity is strictly limited to the guests registered in the booking; additional overnight guests are not allowed. We thank you in advance for your understanding and look forward to welcoming you to this architectural gem!
