Your Canadian hosts spent four years building their home using a Oaxacan architect so you're assured of classic Mexican flare, color and design, yet with all the conveniences of home without any cultural surprises: an abundance of hot water for showering; unlimited purified drinking water; as well as the little things for the kitchen such as coffee maker, toaster, microwave, electric juicer and the usual appliances and kitchen requirements; even a comfy cot for taking a late afternoon snooze.

Our traditional adobe-stone-brick construction, and our breezy location just above the city's downtown area ensure moderate temperatures year-round. Awake to the sounds of rooster calls and typical music echoing across the valley, yet you're only minutes from the zocalo, the heart of downtown Oaxaca with its art galleries, museums, colonial churches and restaurants. Our accommodations combine the service and comfort of a modern Oaxaca hotel, with the personal touch of a quaint country inn. Available services include: airport transportation arranged; laundry facilities; complimentary high speed internet access; private cooking lessons by a renowned native Oaxacan chef who regularly receives international critical acclaim; tour guide assistance for day trips to the craft villages (black pottery or barro negro at San Bartolo Coyotepec, rugs or tapetes at Teotitlan del Valle, cotton textiles, alebrijes at San Martin Tilcajete, clay figures of the Aguilar sisters, and more), towns on their market days (Tlacolula and Ocotlan), ruins (Monte Alban, Mitla, Yagul), mezcal factories of Matatlán and the mountain regions, and many sites off-the-beaten-track such as stone sculptor and knifemaker workshops, and the bubbling springs at Hierve el Agua; hiking, cycling and ecotourism advice and planning assistance.

Oaxaca is our passion. Our goal is to make your vacation as complete and culturally rich as possible. Your privacy is respected, with your hosts always available as your personal resources. In fact we are recognized as a Oaxaca expert on an international travel website, and are founding members of the Oaxaca Bed & Breakfast Association.
