El barrio:

Staying in Oaxaca’s historic city center means waking up in the heart of tradition, color, and celebration. This neighborhood is alive with the rhythm of daily life—calendas with giant puppets (monos de calenda), live music parading through cobblestone streets, and locals in traditional dress marking everything from weddings to saints’ days.



By day, stroll to iconic sites like the Zócalo, Santo Domingo, and the Ethnobotanical Garden. Dive into the city’s legendary markets: Benito Juárez and 20 de Noviembre, where smoky tlayudas and fresh mezcal await in the famed pasillo del humo.



You’ll be surrounded by art galleries, boutique shops, and world-class restaurants, including Sabina Sabe, La Mezcalerita, Casa Taviche, and Pitionaall within walking distance. Need coffee? Locals line up at Muss Café, a neighborhood gem.



Despite being in the heart of the city, the area is surprisingly calm at night, offering a peaceful retreat after a day of exploring.



This is premium Oaxaca living—where history meets hospitality, and every step connects you to the city’s soul.



Cómo desplazarse:

Getting around Oaxaca is simple and stress-free. Once you arrive, everything flows naturally—this is a city designed to be enjoyed on foot. The historic center is compact, flat, and walkable, making it easy to explore at your own pace.



From your doorstep, you can reach markets, museums, plazas, restaurants, and galleries within minutes. The energy of the city is right outside, yet your stay remains calm and peaceful.



Need to go further? Taxis are easy to find, and ride-share apps like Didi work reliably. For day trips to places like Monte Albán or Hierve el Agua, private drivers and tour guides are widely available.



Oaxaca invites you to slow down, wander freely, and connect with its rhythm. Just step outside and the city reveals itself to you.



Otras cosas a tener en cuenta:

✨ Rooftop Jacuzzi Experience ✨

▸The tub on the terrace is designed as a space for rest and relaxation, it is not a pool or a jacuzzi. Since Oaxaca generally has warm weather, the heating system is not activated by default for every reservation.



If you would like the tub to have warmer water, we’re happy to turn on the heating system for you, this has an additional cost of $300 MXN per day and must be reserved for the full duration of the stay, as the system operates continuously once activated to maintain the ideal temperature.

This approach is also part of our environmental awareness, as given the naturally warm climate in Oaxaca, heating the water is not always necessary.



If you'd like this service, please let us know in advance of your arrival so we can have everything ready for you. It’s important that the heating and filtration systems are not tampered with, as they are calibrated for optimal performance.



Environmental Awareness



In Oaxaca, water is a scarce and valuable resource, and we strive to use it responsibly. Below are some of the actions we take to promote water conservation:



We provide one towel per person as part of our effort to save water.

We kindly ask all our guests to be mindful of their water consumption in showers and bathrooms. The water supply is delivered by trucks, which can create complications if the water runs out.

If during your stay the water reserve runs out, please notify us immediately so we can arrange for a new water truck to be delivered as soon as possible.

For longer stays, we may kindly request access to the property so our maintenance team can check the water reserve levels. This helps us ensure you won't run out of water during your stay. We truly appreciate your understanding and support with this quick preventive visit.

Regarding showers, we've placed drain covers to prevent odors and the entry of insects. We ask that you remove the covers during your shower to ensure proper water drainage and replace them once you're done. This helps us keep the property clean and prevents flooding.

We are also committed to responsible energy usage. To contribute to environmental preservation, please turn off lights, the TV, and air conditioning when not in use.



These small actions make a big difference in caring for our planet.



▸ **Outdoor Furniture & Cushion Care:**

For the comfort and enjoyment of all guests, our rooftop and terrace areas include outdoor lounge furniture, decorative cushions, and textile elements designed to create a relaxing and elevated experience ✨



▸During rainy season, some outdoor furniture and cushions may be stored for protection, although guests are welcome to set them out and enjoy the spaces freely.



▸We kindly ask that all removable cushions, lounger pads, and fabric elements be properly protected after each use and not left exposed to rain, humidity, dirt, food stains, or excessive sun exposure. Properties include designated storage areas to help protect outdoor furniture and cushions when not in use. In properties without protective waterproof bags, we kindly ask guests to store cushions and removable textile elements inside the property when not being used or during rainy weather.



▸Please note that significant staining, damage, deterioration, misuse, or loss of outdoor furniture, cushions, or textile elements may result in an additional replacement or professional restoration fee of **$3,000 MXN**, which must be covered by the guest responsible for the damage after check-out.



Thank you very much for your care and support in helping us preserve these beautiful outdoor spaces for all guests to enjoy 💛
