Casa Machaya Oaxaca Bed and Breakfast
Our bed and breakfast in Oaxaca provides a spacious full level of our hillside home, with panoramic vistas, complete privacy, and all amenities:

• fully equipped eat-in kitchen with pine table and four chairs;
  
• landscaped patio with padded lawn chairs, freestanding umbrella and hand-hewn stone table and four chairs;
  
• bedsittingroom with double bed, futon, 3 piece wicker settee, cable TV with DVD, night tables, lamp and ceiling fan;
  
• optional adjoining small extra bedroom with full size bunk beds;
  
• 3 piece washroom.

We’re both child and senior friendly. In fact if traveling with infants or young children, we’re pleased to offer the use of a quality crib with all accessories, high chair, car seat and stroller.

Your Canadian hosts spent four years building their home using a Oaxacan architect so you’re assured of classic Mexican flare, color and design, yet with all the conveniences of home without any cultural surprises:

• an abundance of hot water for showering;
  
• unlimited purified drinking water;
  
• as well as the little things for the kitchen such as coffee maker, toaster, microwave, electric juicer and the usual appliances and kitchen requirements;
  
• even a comfy cot for taking a late afternoon snooze.

Our traditional adobe-stone-brick construction, and our breezy location just above the city’s downtown area ensure moderate temperatures year-round. Awake to the sounds of rooster calls and typical music echoing across the valley, yet you’re only minutes from the zócalo, the heart of downtown Oaxaca with its art galleries, museums, colonial churches and restaurants. Our accommodations combine the service and comfort of a modern Oaxaca hotel, with the personal touch of a quaint country inn.

Available services include:

• airport transportation;
  
• laundry facilities;
  
• complimentary high speed internet access;
  
• private cooking lessons by a reknowned native Oaxacan chef who regularly receives international critical acclaim;
  
• tour guiding for day trips to the craft villages (black pottery or barro negro at San Bartolo Coyotepec, rugs or tapetes at Teotitlán del Valle, cotton textiles, alebrijes at San Martín Tilcajete, clay figures of the Aguilar sisters, and more), towns on their market days (Tlacolula and Ocotlán), ruins (Monte Albán, Mitla, Yagul), mezcal factories of Matatlán and the mountain regions, and many sites off-the-beaten-track such as stone sculptor and knifemaker workshops, and the bubbling springs at Hierve el Agua.
  
• hiking, cycling and ecotourism advice and planning assistance.

Oaxaca is our passion. Our goal is to make your vacation as complete and culturally rich as possible. Your privacy is respected, with your hosts always available as your personal resources. In fact we are recognized as a Oaxaca expert on an international travel website, and are founding members of the Oaxaca Bed & Breakfast Association.
