Castillo Santa Cecilia, Allende

Gazing up at the gray battlements of the castle-like Castillo de Santa Cecilia, can be daunting. Once inside, the first impression of heaviness evaporates and its repaled by a friendly reception staff and a charming interior surrounding that includes palatial guestrooms, with luxurious ammenities. Outside, expansive lawn and gardens extend to silver mines and remmants of a 17th century wall. The strains of live music drift from the intimate colonial bar or a more rousing nightclub. Business meeting up to 300, swimming pool, historic chapel.
