Casa Machaya

Oaxaca, Mexico.

Our Oaxaca B&B provides a spacious, hillside home with panoramic vistas and complete privacy. We’re both child and senior friendly. We offer guests your own kitchen with dining table and chairs, a sitting room, patio, full bath and optional extra bedroom.

Bed and Breakfast Description

Your Canadian hosts spent four years building their home using a Oaxacan architect so you’re assured of classic Mexican flare, color and design, yet with all the conveniences of home without any cultural surprises.

Our traditional adobe-stone-brick construction, and our breezy location just above the city’s downtown area ensure moderate temperatures year-round. Awake to the sounds of rooster calls and typical music echoing across the valley, yet you’re only minutes from the zócalo, the heart of downtown Oaxaca with its art galleries, museums, colonial churches and restaurants. Our accommodations combine the service and comfort of a modern Oaxaca hotel, with the personal touch of a quaint country inn.
