An oasis of calm in the heart of Oaxaca, Casa Oaxaca is in a fully restored 18th century colonial house. Rooms, set around the gardens, patios and pool area, have been designed to retain the original character of the property - most feature huge beams, stucco walls, native Oaxacan handicrafts and bathrooms with beautiful Mexican tiles. The hotel also has one of the city's finest restaurants - a temple to the inventive cuisine of Oaxaca.
