Vacation rentals in Santa María Tecomavaca

The ranch is a magnificent retreat in the Oaxacan countryside. The rooms are big and clean, the sitting areas are comfortable (especially the hammocks!), and the estate is a perfect spot to read, write, meditate or wander around aimlessly. The nearby river is clean and fast and perfect for a refreshing dip, and the very well maintained pool on site is likely where you’ll spend most of your day. If given the option of having the staff prepare your meals, absolutely do it. We ate three delicious meals every day including the best mole any of us have ever had. Make friends with the cats and dogs. Enjoy watching the horses gallop around every morning. Do the half hour hike to see the 3,000 year old cave drawings. Stroll around town and check out the dozens of murals that were painted this past summer. Bring long sleeved shirts and pants for the evenings and use the bug spray provided as the insects are abundant but manageable.

First off, our group was traveling around Mexico to do some work and we had to stay in some pretty bad places. This place was a breath of fresh air. It was clean from top to bottom, had great rooms, full kitchen, great living and dining space. Clean towels. The hosts were great as well, has some recommendations for where to eat. We were also able to conduct our work with no disturbance and with great internet speed. The showers were amazing. Hot water and great shower heads. I would recommend this place to everyone if you are in the area.

Adela and Roberto were great hosts - friendly and willing to help with recommendations. Their house is comfortable and peaceful, and their food very tasty. We would happily come back if we visited Apoala again. Another plus is instant hot water showers which isn’t always a given in Mexico.

Very unique one of a kind stay. One of my favourite Airbnb experiences of all time. Definitely work asking for the local cooked meals. Incredibly peaceful and beautiful surroundings. Make sure you set up arrival instructions and download maps before driving here as there is weak data signal and the address doesn’t lead you directly to the house. Definitely recommend!

Tania and her mother Josefina are wonderful hosts. The rooms have spectacular views of the Mazateca. It is several kilometers outside of Huautla on the main highway into town from Teotitlan, so is very quiet. Both Tania and Josefina can help you with anything you want to know or do, including traditional Mazatec practices. Highly recommended and we will be returning.

I enjoyed my 1 night stay in Zapotitlan de Salinas. The host was proactive with communications beforehand and family welcomed me upon arrival. There are convenience stores and restaurants down the street and I especially enjoyed Restaurant Ambar with its regional dishes featuring cactus. The town is peaceful and the scenery is beautiful. It was easy to arrive by bus from Tehuacan (30 minutes) and take a collectivo to the botanical gardens (5 minutes) where I enjoyed an excellent guided tour of the fascinating UNESCO site. I would absolutely stay here again.
