“Staying in a colonial house from the 1920s sounds lovely, and its prime location in Oaxaca's Historic Centre certainly has appeal. I think its pet-friendly policy is a plus for some travellers. The combination of a full-service spa, bike tours, and cultural classes makes it more than just a place to sleep.”
