Tepoztlan Getaway

Location: Tepoztlan, Morelos, Central Mexico, Mexico (Approximately 60 kilometers from Mexico City)

Accommodations: Villa, 3 Bedrooms, 3 Baths (Sleeps 7-9)

La Casita del Sol is located in the beautiful valley of Tepoztlan, surrounded by stunning mountains and exuberant vegetation that change all year round in a warm and benign weather. With no houses in sight its terraced garden and multi-leveled architecture offer several views of the gorgeous landscape giving you the opportunity to relax in a quiet and peaceful environment.

It is only ten minutes away from both Tepoztlan and Amatlán where you can visit traditional markets or archeological sites. There are also nice traditional and international restaurants and quaint local boutiques. Since the area is well known for its mystical energies (both towns have recently been classified as "magical" towns of Mexico) there are plenty spas, nature retreats and traditional Mexican saunas (-temazcales-) in the area.

The house offers three double-bedrooms (or two with double-beds and one with two single beds), each with its own bathroom (shower). The master bedroom has a fully furnished private balcony, and the other main bedroom can be accessed independently. Two additional beds can be provided on request, allowing up to 9 guests. It also has a nice living room with a chimney and a fully equipped kitchen. The rooms are decorated with comfortable and elegant Mexican furniture and it includes some mural paintings by a local artist. (It also has a good book and DVD library, cable and a table game selection).

Nevertheless you will spend most of your time outside, sitting under the pergola, relaxing in a hammock, floating on a comfortable air-mattress, lying in the sun near the swimming pool (you chose the temperature of the water!), or in one of the several private and romantic spaces that the garden has to offer.

This ecological house, made with local materials, is frequently visited by Mexico city artists and intellectuals because of the tranquility of its surroundings and the beauty of its views (sunsets are seen directly from the house). The mountains nearby, easy to walk by; offer a varied landscape full of surprises.
