    Useful information:

    ✿ The birds in the aviary and gardens need to be fed and watered daily, so our staff will stop by the outdoor areas between 9:30 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. to care for them and keep the space sparkling. Your privacy remains our top priority!

    Meet our resident peacock: He usually comes out to enjoy the gardens in the mornings. He’s very used to people, but if you’d prefer him to stay in the aviary, just let us know. We’ll handle his schedule for you, so you can just sit back and enjoy the view!

    ✿ Cleaning service, breakfasts, in-house mezcal tasting, private transportation, personalized tours and whatever you might need can be arranged ahead of your arrival at an additional cost paid to trusted local providers.

    ✿ Early check-in and late check-out are always granted when possible, please request in advance so we can verify availability. Subject to changes. Earlier than 12 noon can’t be always guaranteed.

    ✿ I recommend reviewing the house manual, property guidelines, and the curated Oaxaca guidebook after booking to make the most of your stay.

Relaxing Escape in Oaxaca

The home is in a residential neighborhood, but is a peaceful place to relax after exploring el centro. The home, grounds and pool were beautiful and had plenty of space for two families with children. Everyone enjoyed cooking at home, hanging out with the peacock, and swimming in the pool. It was comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay - pool towels, cookware, Bluetooth speaker, hairdryers, etc. The host was also very helpful, checking in to make sure we did not need anything. We found several good restaurants we could walk to nearby, but having a rental car was helpful to go to the grocery, for day trips, and to get downtown. Would highly recommend.
