A private 3-bedroom villa in Oaxaca City pairs a colonial courtyard with a rooftop plunge pool and city views. Start your stay with a homemade Oaxacan breakfast and stroll to Centro in minutes.
The Space
Wake up to a homemade Oaxacan breakfast in a colonial courtyard, stroll to Centro in just a few minutes, cool off in your private plunge pool, and spend the afternoon enjoying mezcal on a rooftop terrace overlooking the city.
The home offers three independent spaces across 3,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor living, entirely for your private use.
At the center of the house is a peaceful courtyard filled with native plants. Open to nature and surrounded by the three independent spaces, it provides a quiet place to relax.
The kitchen and dining area are elevated above the courtyard and open on all sides. With no walls or glass, the space stays naturally cool in the breeze, even during the warmest months. Mornings can be enjoyed over a homemade Oaxacan breakfast, included on your first day.
The two main bedrooms are accessed directly from the courtyard:
- The suite features a California king bed, air conditioning, and an en suite bathroom with a bathtub.
- The master guest suite includes a king bed, high ceiling fans, a small private living room, and access to a full bathroom through its own small patio.
A third space completes the layout:
- A private studio with a queen bed, dedicated workspace, and air conditioning.
The house includes two full bathrooms and one half bathroom.
Upstairs, the rooftop features a covered terrace with a lounge area and an open sun deck with a plunge pool. It is an ideal spot to cool off while taking in views of the city.
The 3,000-square-foot complex is designed to offer both time together and privacy. There is enough space for everyone to find their own corner, while the peaceful setting makes it easy to forget that Centro is only a few minutes away.
Guest Access
You will have complete private use of the entire house. The property offers a countryside atmosphere while remaining just a few blocks from Centro, in a city increasingly filled with very small living units.

This is a unique and beautiful home in Oaxaca, where the original character and charm of an old home has been retained while the services inside have been updated to a modern high standard. The location is quiet, while close to the centre of Oaxaca and walkable to other interesting parts of the city. Mari, who makes breakfast is friendly and charming and a wonderful cook. Damien was extremely helpful, very responsive to our enquiries with great recommendations and helped us to arrange a wonderful day out in the wider Oaxaca region with the highly professional Nacho as our driver/guide. It all added up to a wonderful trip.

We really enjoyed the hacienda-style accommodation, outdoor kitchen and living room. The rooms were large, 2/3 of them with A/C, and fans were available. Maria made us delicious breakfasts each morning. Her smile and kindness greatly contributed to the perfection of our stay. A true guardian angel, patient and attentive. She gave us a lot of helpful advice for our visits and our stay. Damian, thank you for your empathy. You have a beautiful home and a wonderful employee. We know where we will stay if fate allows. Thank you.

We stayed at Damian's place as a family of four, including 2 children who are ten years and under. We especially loved the location, an authentic corner of Oaxaca centro. During our stay we did multiple days of mountain biking and rock climbing and loved it all! Damian can share contact info for Gerardo, our MTB guide. And we climbed with Jorge from Kali Oaxaca Wall. They were both expert guides who were relaxed, patient, and super fun. After the outdoor activities, we booked massages at the house with a recommendation from Damian. It was just wonderful! Thank you so much, Damian for welcoming us. We hope to stay with you again soon.

I absolutely loved this house. It felt like a true sanctuary, and I’d return in a heartbeat. Somehow it’s even more charming and beautiful than the photos suggest. The location couldn’t have been better. Damian was fantastic. Thoughtful and attentive. He even arranged for breakfast to be prepared at the house the morning after we arrived, which made it feel extra special. A genuinely wonderful experience from start to finish!

We loved our stay at Damian’s place. The house is very open air and rustic. Which we personally loved but guests should understand the kitchen/eating area is open to the courtyard with enclosed bedrooms and baths off the courtyard. Upstairs is the plunge pool and seating area. The house is incredibly charming. The bedrooms are quite nice with comfortable beds in each and AC in two of three. Bathrooms are cook and clean but water pressure is lacking in showers. Street parking was always available but the street is narrow and steep. The neighborhood is very walkable and safe. Great coffee shop at the end of the block, food in all directions, and generally 5-15 min walk to most Oaxaca centro attractions. Mari cooked a great breakfast the first morning, which was perfect. Damian was very responsive and set up pick up/drop off laundry service for us. Overall a great stay!

Damián’s spot was the PERFECT place for us to crash after several days of travel, wedding celebrations, and exploring. The beds were incredibly comfortable, the linens clean, the bathroom and kitchen spotless, and the location was quite literally perfect. Our other family members stayed closer to the central part of town and complained about noise at their location but we all slept peacefully and comfortably at Damián’s. Mari came to cook a delicious breakfast on day one - The pool and rooftop terrace was just the cherry on top! I will highly highly recommend Damián’s place to friends visiting Oaxaca for years to come!!

We had a lovely stay at Damian’s home. It is an unusual spot — a preserved, old home surrounding an internal courtyard very close to the Oaxaca Centro. The bedrooms are large and comfortable, the kitchen is convenient, and the upstairs seating areas are nice for relaxing in the afternoon. Note that the renovation of the property is a gradual process, one that Damian is doing with evident care. Some fixtures and furniture are new while others are rustic. Overall the vibe was more rustic than we expected. The bedrooms off the main floor are spacious, the bathrooms convenient and utilitarian. We missed a central area to gather, sit, and experience the courtyard, and that connects the rooms to each other. The kitchen table, elevated off the main floor, is the gathering area on the main floor. On the second floor, there is a deck with two sun chairs as well as a simple seating area. Damian is great to communicate with, really helpful, and Mari is lovely and very helpful too.

Damian was always available. He went beyond his role as a host and helped us with all our requests. Marias breakfasts were incredible.
