Hospedaje Gema

Tepoztlán


Tepoztlán attracts visitors seeking spiritual discovery, and what better place than this quiet home turned accommodations with a temascal (pre-Hispanic steam bath) in the wild garden or a massage in the spa room (both from M$400). Tiled rooms are simple with soft beds covered in mosquito nets, and the abuela (grandma) cooks hearty Mexican dishes. Children can't be accommodated.
