About the host
Hosted by Remi Christophe Baldaquin
We are a Mexican-French family who loves to travel, explore nature, and enjoy life’s simple, beautiful moments. We spend our time between Mexico and France, and San Cristóbal holds a very special place in our hearts. When we began restoring Casa Ocaso, we imagined it as a place to host and gather with our friends and family when visiting us—somewhere warm, welcoming, and full of character. At the same time, we wanted it to offer plenty of quiet corners and private spaces to relax, unwind, and take in the views. Hosting allows us to share this space with fellow travelers who are curious to experience the magic of San Cristóbal. We hope you feel at home here.
Why they chose this property
Barrio de Guadalupe is one of our favorite corners of San Cristóbal—colorful, lively, and full of local charm. It’s home to a mix of artists, local families, and travelers, and there’s a real sense of community in the streets. We love being just a short walk from the city’s most popular cafés, restaurants, and shops, while still enjoying the quiet, residential feel of the neighborhood.
We originally chose this house for its incredible views—Casa Ocaso is located at one of the highest points still considered part of the historic center. That means a few stairs to climb if arriving on foot, or just a quick and affordable taxi ride from anywhere in the downtown area. The reward? Stunning panoramic views and peaceful sunsets that make it more than worth it.
What we also love about this area is the perfect blend of local and central—you’ll find neighborhood fruit stands, small mercados, and family-run eateries just steps away, while still being minutes from San Cristóbal’s main tourist attractions. It truly offers the best of both worlds.
What makes this property unique
Casa Ocaso is a home filled with light, history, and intention. Perched at one of the highest points of San Cristóbal’s historic center, the house offers breathtaking views from every room—from mountain sunrises to glowing sunsets over the city. What makes it truly special, though, is the atmosphere: it’s both cozy and spacious, creative and grounding.
Every detail in the house was carefully chosen. Each room has its own personality—you might find yourself wanting to sleep in a different one each night! We used antique and classic Mexican tiles, artisan-made lamps, vintage furniture, and handpicked decor to create spaces that feel soulful and timeless. It’s the kind of house that invites curiosity and comfort at once.
We also made sure there are plenty of spaces to unwind after a day of exploring—nooks where you can read, reflect, or simply enjoy the quiet. The beauty of Casa Ocaso is that while you’re fully immersed in San Cristóbal, it also offers moments that feel completely disconnected from the city—private, peaceful, and elevated, both literally and emotionally.
Whether you’re sharing a meal at the long dining table, playing pool downstairs, working from a sunlit corner, or relaxing under the stars on the terrace, Casa Ocaso invites you to slow down and feel at home in one of Mexico’s most magical towns.
