A Beautiful Place
Review Submitted: January 25, 2010

Beautiful house, even more then the photos show, now that the kitchen is painted in warm and wonderful colors. The kitchen, as well as all the appliances and amenities were excellent. We stayed with another couple and made some memorable meals, mostly on the 2 outdoor patios with their wonderful views. Hiking into the hills above the house was a fine activity, as was watching the sunset by the pool. Florencio, the friendly (English speaking) caretaker, keeps the place in excellent condition, left food and cold beer in the fridge for our late arrival, and was totally available to help out in any way possible.
While there is bus and taxi service to Oaxaca we rented a car from the airport. For the cautious driver this may be a little daunting, but if you relax, go with the flow, and stay focused, having the car will afford you more flexibility. Velocity is controlled by numerous speed bumps
which require some caution.
The location, up a hill off the main highway (190), gives good access to Oaxaca city, and the major craft towns and tourist attractions. Also conveniently at the bottom of the hill (3 K from the house) is a tasty taco restaurant, a supermarket, a roasted chicken take-out place, and a good seafood restaurant.
While Oaxaca state is full of fascinating places to visit, the house, and its surrounding scenery, is just so delightful that we found ourselves spending several days just enjoying being there. Highly recommended.
