The Best Hotel in Pátzcuaro, San Miguel de Allende and the Heartland

The appealing Casa Encantada is a magnificent hotel built into a 17th-century mansion just off Pátzcuaro's main plaza. Rooms and suites—all with different configurations and appealing decor and furnishings—surround a courtyard with a garden and fountain. Though rented by the night, they're more like apartments than hotel rooms; most have kitchens and/or dining areas; a couple have fireplaces, and four have bathtubs.
