About this property

Welcome to La Casa Del Nenufar

La Casa Del Nenufar is a 4.5-star guest house located in a peaceful area of Oaxaca de Juárez, offering a quiet retreat slightly removed from the city center. The property enjoys scenic views of nearby hills and features a serene garden with water ponds that contribute to its tranquil atmosphere. It is situated on a hill, which some guests note involves a steep climb, and the surroundings include areas with standing water believed to be part of the property's natural setting.

The guest house emphasizes a home-like experience with attentive, family-run service praised by many visitors. Amenities include free Wi-Fi, complimentary breakfast featuring coffee, fruits, cereal, and breads, as well as free parking and airport shuttle services. Pets are welcome, and guests appreciate access to shared kitchens and dining areas, although no on-site restaurant or pool is available. Some guests mention that the water temperature for showers can be cold.

Convenient for travelers interested in cultural and archaeological exploration, the location offers easy access to notable nearby attractions such as Monte Albán, Templo de Santo Domingo de Guzmán, and the Museum of Cultures of Oaxaca. Public transportation options like mototaxis and buses provide connections to the city center within 20 to 30 minutes, and Oaxaca International Airport is approximately a 43-minute drive away.

While the setting is ideal for visitors seeking a quiet and comfortable base with a family atmosphere, its somewhat remote placement and hilly terrain might not suit those looking for immediate urban access. Reviews highlight good hospitality and cleanliness but also suggest that guests should be prepared for basic facilities and a rustic environment. This property is well-suited to travelers who value tranquility, cultural excursions, and a pet-friendly lodging option.

Excelente atención en todo momento por parte de Cinthia. El lugar es muy tranquilo, las 3B, algo retirado pero vale la pena, una experiencia incomparable. Tienes acceso a dos comedores, a hacer uso de la cocina, he leído que aceptan mascotas. Hay internet. Te sientes como en casa. Si eres de familia grande hay baños dentro de las habitaciones y baños compartidos. Te incluye el desayuno de café, pan, fruta y cereal. Si buscas algo diferente a lo que lees, evita el lugar y hacer mala referencia de lo que tendrás aquí.

Las personas son muy amables. Aceptan mascotas y tienen servicio de poposta para sus desechos el desayuno es bastante bueno. Las instalaciones son cómodas y limpias. El ambiente es disfrutable; me gusta escuchar el sonido del agua con su sistema de estanques, además la vista hacia los montes es genial. Su jardín es impresionante. Hay una tienda muy cerca y el transporte es accesible; puedes llegar en mototaxi y en autobús en un margen de 20-30 minutos al centro. Pregunta por el sitio de mototaxis! Es muy sencillo.

Las anfitriones excelentes, perfecta atención, las habitaciones bien y además hay desayuno básico pero bastante bien. Los puntos negativos fueron: Primero esta en un cerro osea para subir a la casa esta machin pero pues no es culpa de ellas, lo segundo es que esta lleno de agua estancada, supongo que para cultivar el nenufar pero no tengo idea, y tercero el agua estaba fría para bañarse.

Great experience! Cynthia was a wonderful host. Coffee, fruits, cereal and breads were included in the price. It was a quiet place and we felt very safe. They also offer services like massage and a Mezcal Sauna that is a must!
