Apartments (old)

Each of the four apartments has its own unique character and amenities.

The house, while being newly-built, was designed to look like it has always been a part of the landscape.

Warm colours, old wood, rock walls and adobe made from the garden's soil create a soft, pleasing palette.

This gives you a general idea of the location of the apartments in the building.

XOCHITLAN (The Garden)

Xochitlan (Show-Chit-Lan) is a lovely, intimate studio apartment and is perfect for either a couple or a single traveller. Two private, covered terraces overlook the garden.

The front door opens directly to the main room from the path beside the peaceful pool terrace. As well as the sleeping area, there is a small sitting area for cooler evenings. Glass double doors lead from the bedroom to the upper terrace. There, a fully-stocked kitchenette has a two-burner gas stove and oven, refrigerator, blender, toaster and coffee maker. All necessary utensils and good quality pots and pans, as well as attractive dishes and glassware, allow you to prepare and enjoy breakfasts, lunches and light suppers. The 3-piece bathroom is simply decorated in Mexican style with a charming hand-painted sink.

The lower terrace is ideal for relaxing with a book or simply enjoying the sights and sounds of nature. An attractive indoor sitting area is perfect for cooler evenings, while still affording the same views.
