Mexico Oaxaca Hotels: La Casa de los Milagros

Mexico Oaxaca Hotels: La Casa de los Milagros

The House of Miracles has earned its name. Built in the 1900′s as a colonial home, it has come unscathed through several major earthquakes and floods, and now survives as one of the older and more elegant buildings in central Oaxaca. The latest miracle was performed by local architect Jorge Quintanar who, in 2001, remodelled the house into a funky 3-bedroom guesthouse.

At its heart is a secluded interior patio, around which are arranged the bedrooms, dining room, and common rooms, topped by a lovely roof terrace. It’s nice to see some traditional features preserved beamed ceilings, chandeliers, ceiling fans, a private garden with fountain as well as some original touches, including the specially commissioned wooden furniture. Hostess Adriana Zavala and her husband Ren Cabrera provide a welcome as warm as the ochre walls, and will even show you the secrets of Mexican cooking in their well-equipped kitchen. Otherwise, the restaurants and markets of downtown Oaxaca are just a short walk away.

For all of you that are willing to learn more about latinamerican culture and custom, we encourage you and highly recommend trying Spanish programs for foreign university students.
