Casa de Mariposa is a wonderful historic landmark home in the heart of Old Town San Diego. This lovely Spanish-style property features plenty of charm and interesting details while providing guests the perfect location to stay while exploring all that San Diego has to offer.

A gated landscaped courtyard greets you and leads to a solid wood door in an arched entryway. Step up to the light-filled living room with conversational seating and accented with hardwood floors and arched ceilings (indoor fireplace in pictures is not for guest use). Streaming TV and Cable is located inside the antique armoire.

Adjacent to the living room is the dining room, complete with seating for up to 8 (with leaf) and views to the outdoors and conveniently next to the kitchen. The fully equipped kitchen makes whipping up your favorite meals a breeze. There is a breakfast nook with seating for 6, and a door leading directly to the outdoor courtyard dining and entertaining.

The fully walled and gated courtyard makes the perfect place for relaxing and enjoying San Diego’s world-famous climate. You and your guests will enjoy this well-designed and welcoming outdoor space complete with mature shade trees, Saltillo tiles, a walk-up bar with stools, a chiminea-style fireplace, and a group outdoor dining table under an open-beamed covered patio. Mature tropical trees and splashes of colorful Mexican tiles complete the space and add to the feel of this special retreat. After a full day of sightseeing and activities, there is nothing like sipping a cold drink and soaking in the bubbling hot tub while sharing stories of the day’s adventures.

There are 3 sleeping rooms, each fitted with hotel-style linens and comfortable beds. The primary suite features a king bed and an en-suite bathroom with a jetted tub and shower. French doors open to the interior courtyard and bring light into the space. Bedroom 2 features a queen bed and bedroom 3 comes with a twin over full bunk and a single bed that can sleep up to 4 with children. Each room is equipped with Streaming TV's and Cable services in the Master Bedroom.

Additional amenities include Wi-Fi, washer/dryer, ready-made beds, one towel set and beach towel per guest, and a starter kit of all soaps and paper goods.

This home is a designated historic landmark and has been lovingly restored to offer all the modern amenities expected by our guests, but still maintains the charm and old-world touches that make this home something really something special.
