A stunning and timeless hacienda-style villa, impeccably maintained, centered around a spectacular swimming pool and lush tropical gardens.

Indulge in an exclusive stay within the secure, verdant hills of San Felipe del Agua—a private sanctuary where the day begins with the soothing sounds of birds and a cascading pool. Enjoy authentic, spacious surroundings and premium amenities simply unavailable in the historic center, far enough away from the crowds yet connected to the heart of the city via quiet, local streets.

Our location serves as the ultimate gateway to the region’s treasures, allowing you to discover the city’s golden afternoon light at your own pace or enjoy the effortless luxury of premium tours with door-to-door pickup, bypassing the midday bustle entirely for a truly seamless experience.

We are neighbors to Casa Santo Origen (a Michelin Key hotel) and its restaurants, along with other local B&Bs and eco-tourism trails at Cerro de San Felipe del Agua if you’re up for a hike!

Things to know:

✿ 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.
