La Casa de Mis Recuerdos

Oaxaca City


A marvelous decorative aesthetic prevails throughout this welcoming guesthouse, with old-style tiles, mirrors, masks and all sorts of other Mexican art and crafts adorning the rooms and halls. The best rooms overlook a fragrant central patio, and the Oaxacan breakfast (one of numerous highlights) is served in a beautiful dining room. There's a three-night minimum at some peak periods.

Family member Nora Valencia gives cooking classes at her school Alma de Mi Tierra.
