Wake to the sound of birds in this adorable casita just 20 minutes from downtown Oaxaca. Nestled on the shoulders of the Sierra Norte above the valley of Oaxaca, this is the ideal destination for those wishing to take advantage of all the city has to offer while returning home to the quiet and clean air of San Pablo Etla, a traditional Zapotec village. The casita is accessible by public transportation. A car is recommended but not mandatory.

Decorated in a rustic Mexican style, the casita features the best of the indoor/outdoor style of living with a sheltered outdoor living room, private terrace and gardens with loads of comfortable places to relax. This area is known for its diversity of birds and hiking as well as mountain biking. We also offer a shared in-ground swimming pool with some of the best sunsets in Oaxaca.

Your hosts Adele and John will gladly assist you in making the most of your stay at La Casita del Barco. Our manager Florencio can help you to arrange visits to Oaxaca's famous archaeological sites, colorful native markets, and rich art and culture museums to name but a few. While you are here, you might also want to take advantage of the language and cooking schools, restaurants, and shopping that Oaxaca and its surrounding villages are known for. With a nearly perfect climate, averaging 73 degrees in the day with pleasantly cool evenings and low humidity, La Casita del Barco is the perfect place for the perfect getaway.

Reviews:
We had a wonderful time! We loved the casita and we appreciated your family's hospitality. You were there when we needed you yet we felt as though this was our home as we had plenty of privacy. We couldn't have asked for a better stay. Even our dog had a great time! —Karen and John from New Hampshire

What a very beautiful place—each window frames such natural loveliness! I love especially, all the Mexican art and great books. —Susanna and Brian, California

Thank you for the great views, advice, tips, and making us feel at home away from home. Milan had a great time in the pool, chasing the dogs, feeding the chickens, and he perfected his walking skills on the rocky floors! We're so glad we found you and the beautiful casita! —Sarah, Tim and Milan, Connecticut

    We very much enjoyed our stay up in the hills above Oaxaca. The casita was just as described, and we were able to fix all the meals we wanted to. A car is a necessity but that was fine for us. We had a great experience renting from the downtown Alamo office, by the way.

    My partner and I had a great stay at the casita. It’s a little away from the city but still creates a nice getaway to look forward spending some time in. Great accommodations and recommendations, would stay here again if opportunity arises.

    The casita was adorable (albeit off the beaten track). Neighborhood noises (roosters, barking dogs) awakened me shortly before dawn. The local manager (a neighbor) did not greet me or give me a key to the front door. Consequently, I had to figure out details on my own and not leave the casita because I couldn’t lock up.

    We enjoyed the country aspect of the property while being quite close to Oaxaca and the ruins. Thank you!

    This casita is on a compound of properties. Very quiet , great views It has with everything you need to cook in if you prefer but who wouldn't want to sample the food in the city!Every small space is tastefully decorated.I would recommend it highly and stay there again. It is filled with Mexican objects but not overdone.Very cheerful helpful staff.

    I really enjoyed my time here. Very private and quiet and easy to relax and get work done. The view from the pool area was divine. I liked that the compound was fully gated and fenced in.

    I was traveling around for a few weeks before I got to Adele’s casita and it was exactly what I needed. I stayed for 11 days and had my kitty with me and loved it. Everyone there was super helpful and really friendly was so nice for being a solo traveler.The mountains of Oaxaca are beautiful especially if you don’t want to be all up in the town center. I would definitely stay here again if I come back to Oaxaca city.
