Hotel Mi Casita, is a family house and historical landmark, located
in the heart of Taxco, the worldly famous Silver City.
Mr. Alfonso Ramirez purchased the house in the late 1940's and
remodeled it for his wife, fashion designer Tachi Castillo. They
kept their business across the street, Gracias a Dios,
which enabled them to be within their family's range.
The location of the house has been photographed and painted through
the years by many tourists.
There were times that tourists would come to the house and ask
to please be admitted just to see it from the inside. Some, to the
amusement of the family, would try to negotiate with Don Alfonso
and Doña Tachi for a room to rent.
Mi Casita is owned now by Tachi's daughter Marta Castillo and granddaughter
Michele Michel.
Marta and Michele wanted to share the charm of a real Mexican home
to the visitors that came to Taxco. On New Years of 2002, they decided
to open the house to the public, and Mi Casita, became officially
the first Mexican Bed and Breakfast in the city of Taxco in September
2003. |
