Cultural Colossus

You'll find this home in the heart of Oaxaca – a beautiful, culturally rich city known for delicious chocolate and mysterious ruins. Boasting three patios, there's plenty of space to spread out and relax, or catch some of that Mexican sunshine. Sip coffee on the patio, or chill out in the hammock – we can't think of a more relaxing way to start the day.

It's worth tearing yourself away from the gorgeous terraces to do some exploring. This is a foodie's paradise, with many local chefs being featured in international travel magazines in recent years. Try some authentic tacos and mole, then pay a visit to the iconic Templo de Santo Domingo de Guzmán to admire the incredible baroque architecture. If you're in the city at the beginning of November, the Day of the Dead Festival is a sight to behold.

After a day of discovering the city, head home to relax in the private hot tub. Fire up the barbecue for a laid-back dinner, then go indoors to whip up a few cocktails at the home bar. Sip margaritas on the comfy sofa, or go up to the balcony to take in the views.
