Serafin |
|
This spacious suite has a view of the lovely fountain in the courtyard. It has a queen size bed and a sitting area with a sofa that is actually a double bed, partially recessed into an alcove in the very thick wall. It can be pulled all the way out at night, if necessary, for extra sleeping space. This suite features a hand carved wooden piece framing the niches containing various saints. It is from a private chapel of a demolished hacienda in the Guanajuato area and is filled with antique, Mexican hand carved, wooden statues of saints. The Victorian dresser is circa 1900. On the wall to the right of the large window hangs an oil painting of Principe Leopoldo d´Medici, circa 1560, in its original frame. This original work of art was copied from the Medici’s family portrait of Leopoldo, which hangs in the U´ffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy. |

San Gabriel |
|
This spacious suite has two double beds. It is just off the pool area and has garden and pool views. The large bathroom has both a claw foot bathtub and an open shower. The nineteenth-century niche to the left as you enter is from a church in Vietnam. It was salvaged at the end of the war when all of the churches were being looted. Inside the niche is a wooden Mexican sculpture of the Virgin Mary with Baby Jesus holding a dove. It has a polychrome finish, circa 1800. The two paintings over the bed are newer, circa 1940. The one holding the Christ Child depicts the Virgin de la Candelaria and the other is the Virgin de la Macarena. They are Mexican devotional paintings that were prayed to and, as folklore has it, many miracles have been attributed to them. The large chair with angel carvings is Spanish, circa 1890, and inside the bathroom there is a painting done on tin representing the Virgin and Child. It is circa 1800 and is in an antique frame. |
