Casa Alegre

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

This beautiful 4,700 square feet 1929 Spanish-style home will take you back in time with its original architecture and interesting history as a former monastery. Nestled on more than an acre of land in sunny San Antonio, step back in time as you gaze at the Juliet-style balcony, mission-style furniture, original artwork, and sprawling garden and courtyard space. Located in the center of town, Casa Alegre is only 15 minutes from the Riverwalk and Pearl Brewery, and only 20 minutes to south town.

Happy and cheerful as the name states, Casa Alegre oozes old-world charm. Walk inside and you will instantly take notice of the primary kitchen, complete with stainless steel appliances and ample meal prep space. There are also two dishwashers and two full size refrigerators, providing ample space to store food and wash dishes for those longer stays or large gatherings. A butler's kitchen is just steps away and has been converted into a coffee and tea bar, perfect for those who perform a ritual morning sip. The sprawling formal dining table comes well-prepared to host elegant family dinners, and sunlit meals can be enjoyed alfresco on the outdoor dining table.

There are three living rooms, two with TVs; a game room and additional TV room, plus a formal living room toward at the front of the home. The soft sofa and large TV in the game room provide the perfect spot to curl up for movie nights. This room also boasts a pool table, an air hockey table, board games, a guitar, and a record player.

Four of the home's five bedrooms are large, light-filled, and adorned with soft linens. Two of the main bedrooms are en-suite. While exploring the bedrooms, you will also find lovely, tiled bathrooms and a separate laundry room. There are two separate offices providing ample work space for remote work or school tasks. There is one off of the downstairs primary bedroom, one off the dining room, and a separate laundry room. The additional TV room presents an excellent space for the kids to tune into their weekend morning cartoons, and the additional free-standing chapel room is a great space to work out!

Outside, the pool has a beautiful deck attached to it with two changing rooms right off the water, for your convenience. When you need a break from the sun, but still want to be outside, sit and read on the covered patio.

The memories made at Casa Alegre will be drenched in sunshine, warm to the heart, and truly unforgettable!

We were pleasantly surprised to find that The home was absolutely beautiful and the online photos did not do it justice. There was more than enough room for my family of 6 to enjoy a weekend away from home for our daughter’s birthday. We had all the entertainment we needed in one place, including gorgeous pool, gym, pool table and hockey, WiFi , and nearby park. We had all the amenities we needed and the classic beauty of the home combining historical and modern touches , along with its central location made our stay even more enjoyable. We’d love to go back for a longer stay, maybe spring break or during the summer to take full advantage of this charming home.

Very large and somewhat disjointed home, however a large group would be will handled. Our group of 6 had dwindled to a group of only 4. Great location and good restaurants close by. We enjoyed being close to Traders Joes for a quick meal.

Best place to gather the family

The large family area and fabulous kitchen makes gathering the family simple and easy. We cooked meals together with cleanup super easy with the 2 dishwashers and 2 refrigerators. The extras of pool table and air hockey kept everyone entertained. We will definitely stay again!

Wonderful property! Will stay there again!

This home more than met our expectations! Conveniently located, beautiful property and tons of off-street parking.The house itself was amazing-perfect place to gather with family, and has so much space for staying with multiple families. Kitchen was stocked like a gourmet kitchen, and the amenities allowed for so much fun. We hope to go back this summer and use the pool! Staff was super friendly and easily reached. Rent this house!

Comfortably

The outside is not appealing at all. But once inside, it's comfortably. The outside everything is overgrowth. You can't see the beauty of the outside at all. The pictures do not do the place any justuce. But once in side. It's very different but really nice. Love the bedrooms and bathrooms. Everyone loves the game, room.

It was a very spacious property both indoors & outside. We enjoyed the game tables and the privacy of the property. The only thing that we felt shorted was not having tv’s in all the bedrooms and the mattresses in the upstairs bedrooms were very stiff.

Great Place, so many rooms

It was amazing. Rooms everywhere. Multiple kitchens. So many places to hang out in. Beds were comfortable. The pool has a deep end, I think 7 feet, which is a plus for adults. The kids loved it too.
