Hacienda de San Antonio
Hacienda de San Antonio in Colima, is a far from the beach and, as a result, offers a different experience from the coastal resorts. According to travel gurus Mr. and Mrs. Smith:
“Aspiring aristocrats will feel right at home at the Hacienda de San Antonio hotel, a coral pink piece of perfection in Mexico’s small highland state of Colima. This elegant 120-year old colonial-style estate with commanding colonnades and curved archways was restored and decorated with panache by the Goldsmith family. The serene location, surrounded by coffee plants and dense bamboo, is an escape-the-paparazzi-worthy hideaway.”
