La Casa de los Sabores is an older colonial style home located within the historic center of town, an area that UNESCO has declared to be a part of the Cultural Patrimony of Humanity. We are just 5 minutes from the Zócalo and 5 blocks from the "Andador Turístico" area with its many beautiful churches (La Merced and Las Nieves), galleries, shops, book stores and within walking distance of other interesting areas of the city. Accommodations include 5 double rooms, four of which have high ceilings and open out into the courtyard -- all with private bath and all tastefully decorated with regional art and antiques.

Our lavish breakfasts, featuring typical Oaxacan cuisine, house baked bread and chef´s hand selected seasonal fresh vegetables and healthy ingredients, are served between 8 and 10 am. We can adjust our menu for special diets.

La Casa de los Sabores offers you the opportunity to enhance your vacation by trying the traditional indigenous herbal sweat bath --Temazcal -- the nahuatl word for bath house. The traditional baths were used by the Aztecs as therapeutic cleansing and purification, and also for rituals. We invite you to take advantage of an unforgettable experience -- a journey to the indigenous past through the Temazcal bath -- where the combination of the energy of fire with wood, rocks, water and herbs purifies your body, your mind and your spirit. The bath house is constructed according to traditional specifications and is located in a lovely garden - a gift of nature which contributes to your feeling of tranquility, peace and rest. Observe and participate in indigenous culture in an extraordinary way. Our techniques of soft massage will relax, revitalize and energize your body.
