Casa Adobe

Oaxaca City


On a quiet lane in the village of Tlalixtac de Cabrera, 8km east of the city, this is a charming retreat full of lovely art and crafts, and a good base for visits to the city and exploring outlying areas. Breakfast is served in the verdant little patio, and there’s a nice roof terrace and cozy sitting room.

The amiable owners will pick you up on arrival in Oaxaca and offer free rides to town in the mornings. They'll also tell you about good restaurants locally. Minimum stay is two nights for the three rooms, and three nights for the two apartments.
