Casa de las Bugambilias

Top choice in Oaxaca City


The 10 rooms, all named after flowers, are works of art (equipped with beds embellished with wood-carved or hand-painted headboards); breakfast, with organic/fair-trade ingredients, will have you thinking that Mexico is the best place in the world to wake up; and it’s all stitched together by above-and-beyond service at this fabulous B&B.

Some rooms have little balconies. We really like the 'Violeta' room. Gorgeous little decor details leave you in no doubt that you’re in the cultural heart of Mexico.
