I've been told for years that rare romantic moments can change ones life. But I'm the curious type. I had to find out for myself. A romantic at heart, it seemed only proper to weave romance and adventure into my honeymoon, spent in a combination of activities including enjoying white Caribbean beaches, treking through Guatemala's Peten jungle, camping on the Monkey River and lazing in the sun at an Isla Mujeres Resort. Let me tell you, it can change your life.
The first time I read about the Villa Maria Christina Luxury Hotel in Guanajuato I sensed the same type of rare experience awaiting discovery. Why it struck me this way I do not know, but it seemed as though gazing at the Internet Portal was like stumbling upon a Buddist pilgrimage in the mountains. There was a sense of mystery and mysticism; a feeling of rare and unusual place to spend a romantic adventure.
My schedule, and travel budget) have not allowed to experience first hand this remarkable travel oasis, but I am certain -- call it a sixth sense sort of thing -- there is a rare romantic adventure awaiting you at this remarkable destination.
 Expect the best, and the price tag that goes along with it. But if you're looking to spoil that soul mate in your life, perhaps a Honeymoon getaway or a retreat where vows can be repeated, this luxury hotel may be the perfect getaway destination of the year.
Villa Maria Cristina is located in the city of Guanajuato, which is an architectural jewel from colonial times. Guanajuato is one of the most picturesque towns in all of Mexico, just four hours from Mexico City. Villa Maria Cristina can make Guanajuato a unique experience. Because much of the town’s traffic is underground, Guanajuato is wonderfully pedestrian-friendly. A leisurely stroll will take you along scenic cobblestone streets to shady public squares with friendly sidewalk cafés. You might walk among the low balconies of Kiss Alley, visit the birthplace of artist Diego Rivera, and take the funicular railway up to Pipila monument, for stunning views of the valley below.
 Villa Maria Cristina is a first class small hotel which offers the best service and accommodations in the region. It has spacious and sumptuous suites as well as common areas that resemble the luxury of a European aristocratic home.

The restaurant serving Contemporary Mexican Cuisine accompanied by an extensive variety of fine wines, give you the opportunity to pamper yourself with warm, expert and friendly service.
The beds look inviting, the spa is a must, and be prepared to spend much of your time in the marbled bath or the Jacuzzi built for four overlooking the city.
The hotel, loccated in a renovated building erected in the 1800's, is just a block or so from the most popular traveler's district of Guanajuato. Nearby is the Juarez Theatre, Casa Diego Rivera Museum, Guanajuato University, Alhoniga de Granaditas Museum, The Historic Centre.
 The terrace, with its king-size Jacuzzi beneath a pergola, is the ideal space for al fresco dining, afternoon tea or an evening cocktail, when the light thrown by the wrought-iron lamps and the water features create a romantic ambience.
On the first floor, with full-length French windows onto balconies overlooking the street, and a fireplace, the Restaurant Teresita at Hotel Villa María Cristina is the city's most sophisticated an elegant, wood panelled bar with a spiral staircase leading to the wine cellar, offers the perfect place while you browse the menu of gourmet cuisine.
