Dream Garden Villa in the Heart of Oaxaca

Enjoy a luxurious stay at this beautiful home, reimagined by architect Jorge Quintanar Castillo in the heart of Oaxaca de Juárez. The villa is constructed around a central patio and garden, curated by the landscape architect who tends to the Jardín Etnobotanico, which lies just across the street. A short walk to the Templo de Santo Domingo de Guzmán and all of the central historic district, the villa is the perfect base to explore Oaxaca.

Casa Almaviva was even more spectacular in person than we could have imagined. Aside from a magical layout with great amenities (a bathroom attached to every room, a soundsystem and a house cat, to name a few) the house was spotless and extremely centrally located. The rental did require aupstay

Oaxaca Dream Villa
Our stay here was nothing short of perfect! Great location, gorgeous spaces, whimsical art work, stunning terraces dotted with extraordinary succulents all meticulously maintained by a gracious and unobtrusive household staff. Highly recommend this spot if you want to be close to everything while having a tranquil oasis to return to each day. Thank you!

Great property
The only thing (for me personally because I’m always warm) I wish there had been a/c. Other than that we lived our stay…perfect location overlooking the botanical gardens..great water pressure for showers..plenty of hot h2o. Warm welcome from Todd the owner. Nothing negative at all to say about our stay!

Oaxaca Magic!
The cactus garden house is incredible! Felt like we were staying in an issue of Architectural Digest. Everything we needed and more. Loved the rooftop views and plants. The location is superb and there is a very modern mall with shops, a grocery store, and restaurants 2 blocks away. We loved our time in this home!!!

Very nice but not again
The location was excellent and quiet. The space was beautiful though the pictures were slightly deceiving in size. There is a wonderful mother and daughter that are caretakers. They are there from 8 AM to 3 PM EVERY week day. We asked them to arrive no earlier than 10 AM, which they obliged. It did feel like we had chaperones in the house while they were there but they were very nice. Late the first night the house alarm went off multiple times, which was, as the host noted, very loud and disruptive. White towels were provided which were easily lightly soiled. We were informed that if they couldn’t be cleaned with the house laundry they would be sent out to be commercially cleaned. If they were unable to be cleaned then we would be charged for them. We were told there would be make up remover’s in the bathrooms, but our bathroom had none. Savvy lodgings we have stayed at in the past usually have a black face cloth for just this problem. The fourth evening the house ran out of water. It is on a cistern. It was not until early in the evening the next day that it was refilled and we had water again…after almost 24hrs. With the various inconveniences, we asked if the owner would consider comping a bottle of Mezcal that was provided with the house. In the end, we were told that we would not be charged for the towels that were ‘soiled’, but I still felt the inconveniences, for what we paid for the lodging, were disproportionate. We will look elsewhere next time.

Central location was walking distance to everything. House features and beauty is even better in real life. Host Todd was attentive and personable throughout our stay. This is an amazing find and comes highly recommended. Andre D.
