ABOUT THE VILLA

A stunning and timeless hacienda-style villa, impeccably maintained and thoughtfully updated, centered around a spectacular swimming pool and lush tropical gardens—a true home away from home in Oaxaca City’s most exclusive neighborhood.

Just a 10–15 minute taxi or Didi ride from Santo Domingo Centro, this villa offers more comfort, space, and a peaceful atmosphere—plus amenities you won’t find in typical El Centro rentals: no improvised or checkbox pools, empty ‘boutique’ labels, or other obvious and common traps these days.

You’ll often see listings promising “walking distance to everything”—a phrase that can be very vague, sometimes leading to long walks or taxis anyways. This villa offers a different experience: relax in spacious, authentic surroundings, experience Oaxaca at your own pace, explore the centro, uncover the city’s hidden gems like Hierve el Agua, Monte Albán, Mitla, local artisan villages, and enjoy all the rich experiences Oaxaca has to offer—with tours that can pick you up right from the villa.

Why this neighborhood?

This location is well known as the city’s unique upscale neighborhood—secure, peaceful, naturally green, and never crowded. Here you’ll hear the song of birds, the soothing ringing of church bells, the gentle sound of water from the pool’s cascade (automatically starting at 10:00 AM), and the calm presence of nature—all just minutes from the city center via simple neighborhood streets, with no highways.

We're neighbors to Casa Santo Origen Hotel and their restaurants, some other Bnbs and Eco tourism at Cerro de San Felipe del Agua in case you wanna go hike!

ACCESS AND FACILITIES

The entire 20,225 SQFT villa, paired with our unmatched amenities, will guarantee a truly exceptional experience. This includes:

✔ Self check-in with a high end smart lock
✔ Water jugs (chilled drinking water) + local coffee + teas + cooking basics
✔ Up to 100 MB of internet speed
✔ Solar heated pool and outdoor jacuzzi**
✔ Netflix and Prime Video in all TVS
✔ Excellent water pressure in showers
✔ Premium leather couches — clean, hypoallergenic, and ideal for vacation rentals
✔ Oaxacan handmade "blackout style" curtains in all bedrooms
✔ New AC units in all bedrooms
✔ Automatic gate doors in two large covered parking spots
✔ Marshall Bluetooth portable speaker
✔ Sun decks, pool toys, inflatables
✔ *NEW* Palapa Room for celebrations, mariachis, mezcal tastings and experiences (Jan 2026)
… Always improving!

— Wake up to Oaxaca: Enjoy a complimentary traditional breakfast and a private hot chocolate tasting on the morning of your choice.

- Additional customized breakfasts can be arranged for a supplemental fee.

. Enjoy a fully equipped pool and spa designed for comfort and relaxation. The spa doubles as a splash pool with a waterfall by default, and can be enhanced with jets and air blowers when activated.

Solar heating (29 panels) keeps the water comfortably warm—up to and above 86°F, weather permitting and during sun hours. For evening or after-sun spa use, an optional gas heater is available at an additional cost, allowing extra heating for both the spa and, if desired, the pool (propane is supplied from a separate tank and must be purchased in advance), bringing the spa temperature up to 108°F if desired. Ambient lighting and simple, user-friendly controls complete the experience.

THINGS TO NOTE

✿ The birds in the aviary and gardens need to be fed and watered daily, so someone will come to the outdoor areas of the villa (aviary and gardens) between 9:30 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. to care for them and keep the space clean. Your privacy remains our top priority at all times!

The peacok remains inside the aviary unless you’d like him to come out in the mornings, he’s very used to humans. We’ll handle letting him out and back in, please don’t try to do it yourself.

✿ 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 highly recommend reviewing our house manual, property rules and the Oaxaca guidebook after booking

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.
