Terra-Cotta in Oaxaca’s top neighborhood

A short & easy ride to a property you definitely wont find in/next centro area.

✔ Exclusive, secure and spacious villa ~ 20225 SQFT
✔ Heated XL cascade pool (86F/30C+), outdoor jacuzzi (up to 10 ppl), indoor jacuzzi (up to 2 ppl), gorgeous tropical gardens and AC in all bedrooms
✔ Details from floors to ceilings, oaxacan green quarry walls (Oaxaca’s iconic rock), authentic wood beam ceilings, fine carpentry and art by pioneering artists in Oaxaca
✔ 180º terrace w garden, city & pool views

A stunning and timeless hacienda style villa with a large and beautiful swimming pool, tropical setting and the warmth of a home away from home, located in the best neighborhood of Oaxaca City.

Just a 10 to 15 mins ride (Taxi or Didi App) to Santo Domingo or the interest zone in downtown instead of walking 10-20 or more mins. Downtown is a very large area and can be challenging to walk to the walkable area. (heat, traffic, crowds)

Private transportation and tours are available (pick up and drop off at the villa). Upon request and paid to the service provider.

Why best neighborhood?

This location is well known as the unique "upscale" neighborhood of the city; secure, peaceful natural surroundings and not crowded are some of the adjectives that can describe it. Here you'll hear the song of birds, the sound of water (automatic pool cascade starting 10 AM) and nature, without losing proximity to the city center and without having to go to a distant place on the outskirts of the city, you won't need to take highways just average small city avenues/streets.

We're neighbors to Casa Santo Origen Hotel and their restaurants, some other Bnbs and Eco tourism at Cerro de San Felipe del Agua in case you wanna go hike!

Once you book UNIQUE OAXACA, you’ll be able to access and enjoy the entire property and its top quality services such as:

✔ Self check-in with the smart lock
✔ Water jugs (drinking water) + local coffee + teas + cooking basics
✔ Up to 100 MB of internet speed
✔ Solar heated pool and outdoor jacuzzi**
✔ Netflix and Prime Video in all TVS
✔ Excellent water pressure in showers
✔ Oaxacan handmade "blackout style" curtains in all bedrooms
✔ AC in all bedrooms
✔ Automatic gate doors in two large covered parking spots
✔ Marshall BT speaker
✔ Sun decks, pool toys and inflatable(s)
... And more!

** Our pool has a very complete system, cascade functioning from SPA to pool, 29 solar panels for water heating (29 needed to have it 86F or more), gas heater available at an additional cost (for after sun hours spa usage), ambiance pool lights, air blowers and jets in SPA. All of this is controlled with an automatic display control, easy to use**

**Cleaning service, breakfasts, in-house mezcal tasting, private transport, tours and whatever you might need can be arranged at an additional cost paid to the service provider.**

✿ Birds (inside the aviary) and gardens of the villa need to be fed/watered everyday, so it is necessary that someone come to the outside spaces of the villa (aviary & gardens) to take care of them (before noon), if you want you can let us know at what time this works better for you.

Birds (the peacock) remain inside the aviary unless you want him to come out in the mornings. He’s very used to humans.

✿ I highly recommend reviewing our house manual, property rules and the Oaxaca guidebook once booked.

✿ Early check-in and late check-out are always granted when possible, please request in advance so we can verify availability.

The villa is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 4 bathrooms, and a balcony. There's space to spread out with 5 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with Netflix. The bathroom offers a jetted tub, hair dryers, and bidets. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a washing machine, and a fireplace. Housekeeping is available on request.

Relaxing Escape in Oaxaca

The home is in a residential neighborhood, but is a peaceful place to relax after exploring el centro. The home, grounds and pool were beautiful and had plenty of space for two families with children. Everyone enjoyed cooking at home, hanging out with the peacock, and swimming in the pool. It was comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay - pool towels, cookware, Bluetooth speaker, hairdryers, etc. The host was also very helpful, checking in to make sure we did not need anything. We found several good restaurants we could walk to nearby, but having a rental car was helpful to go to the grocery, for day trips, and to get downtown. Would highly recommend.
