Could this be the home of your next chapter?

Welcome to Casa Avra

Your magical Mexican home awaits you!

I first came to San Miguel de Allende in 1996 and was captivated by its color, charm, and community of artists and dreamers.

Today, this luminous city in the center of Mexico is my full time home and inspiration for reinvention.

At Casa Avra, my colonial duplex with a stunning view, I open my private casita to guests and help them explore if this tranquil and joyful life could be where your next chapter begins.

Casa Avra is more than a place to stay. It's where your questions about life in San Miguel get real answers. Beyond the casita, I help guests and future residents navigate relocation, connect with trusted local professionals, and experience the city with confidence, day or night. If you're exploring whether San Miguel could be home, book a free 20-minute call and let's talk about what you're looking for.

What our guests say

    "Staying at Casa Avra was so much nicer than an Airbnb. With Audrey upstairs I felt looked after and felt like staying with family. She seems to know everyone and made exploring San Miguel easy and fun." Gabe - stayed 10 days

  • A woman with curly brown hair smiling, wearing a wide-brimmed, slightly worn cowboy hat with some dirt and a black band.

    "I came to San Miguel not knowing a soul, and was nervous. Audrey made sure I never felt alone. She included me in dinner parties, events, and introduced me to amazing people. She gave me plenty of space to explore, but was nice to come home to a friend." Laurie - stayed 3 weeks

    "Casa Avra was the perfect place to land, and Audrey was the perfect host to help me decide San Miguel was my forever home. I love that she's not a realtor, she just connected me to the right people through her network, and I found the perfect long-term rental. She has a whole team that helps with the relocation process." Diane - stayed a month
