Accessible to Centro Historico in historic San Miguel de Allende, Villa ITO is a 20 twenty-minute drive that takes you past small family-run farms. Turning left off the main road you come to a narrow lane that bends gradually up a slight incline into the Valle. The road widens to reveal the heart of the valley and Villa ITO.
The Details
What makes it Kobu
Blending with the muted browns and greys of the rising landscape, Villa ITO is an expansive 2.5-hectare (6 acre) property that merges authentic Mexican accents, modern concrete construction, and forms of Japanese design that emphasize the uncluttered space and the aesthetic relationship to nature.
This one-of-a-kind design reflects the myriad passions of its creators: A former US music executive who turned away from his career and together with his wife became hoteliers while committing themselves to philanthropy, filmmaking and a traditional mezcal brand. A short walk from the main house is a guest house, artist loft or workshop complete with a full kitchen and bathroom.
