The five standard rooms lead from the tranquil main courtyard. Each cool and airy room is decorated with modern simplicity, so that the quality of the furnishings and the artistic value of each piece is paramount.

Many rooms feature colorful photography of Zapotec villages and scenes that capture the ethnic diversity of the region, so much more pleasing and appropriate than most hotel art.

Above all, the small details are a constant and delightful surprise; a whimsical lamp or candle display, fresh flowers or fruit artistically arranged, an eclectic choice of reading matter.

Every room has a wardrobe, cable television, telephone and writing desk, plus a gleaming bathroom with walk-in shower.
