From the street, in typical Mexican fashion, Casa de las Flores Bed and Breakfast reveals little of what’s beyond the front door. Inside are seven spacious guest rooms designed by an award-winning Guadalajaran architect, each with private bath. Your accommodations feature hand-crafted furniture and regional folk art by local artisans. Windows overlook the sun-splashed central gardens vivid with flowers, where guests relax by the fountain, under a palm by the outdoor fireplace and any of a number of patios and terraces tucked away throughout the property for your pleasure.
In Mexico you never know what charming surprises await you behind unassuming adobe walls. The simple turn-of-the-century adobe home at the front of the property quietly stands in front of a wonderful world of gardens, art and hospitality embraced by adobe walls. Our garden suites afloat on an of ocean of spectacular flowers and greenery will enchant you. This is just one of the many pleasant surprises that await you.
Casa de las Flores Bed and Breakfast is the creation of a bilingual American and Mexican partnership — Stan Singleton, an artist and chef who moved to Mexico in 1985, and Jose Gutierrez, a native of Guadalajara Mexico, accountant and avid gardener. After travels in Africa, the Middle East, North America and Europe, they imagined a traveler’s oasis, a hospitable place to relax and absorb the art and culture of Mexico. Starting with a turn-of-the-century adobe home and expanding into a neighboring property, the resident partners set out to create a bed & breakfast hotel that combined the best of both — the security, comfort and privacy of a hotel and the charm, exceptional food and personal service of a B&B. And create is just what they have done while restoring as much of the original adobe main house as they could, truly a labor of love.
After enjoying the attractions of Tlaquepaque or beyond, guests of Casa de las Flores Bed and Breakfast return to a peaceful residential neighborhood, where visitors gain insights into daily life. Children in their school uniforms along the morning sidewalks, evening bells from the chapel on the corner, neighbors buying supper at Dona Victoria’s nightly stand, friends and family enjoying a stroll and kids playing — small moments that make memorable visits.
