Casa Colonial

At least a quarter of our guests have come to Casa Colonial before.  Our "recidivists" are our best advertisement!  Here's what some of them have said:

"Casa Colonial has all kinds of magic...it´s a wonderful home in Mexico... Thorny and Jane have created a JEWEL!" -- Sewickley, Pennsylvania.

San Francisco Examiner, "Follow the Reader:"
"Laid-back Casa in Oaxaca"
We recently returned from our sixth stay at the Casa Colonial in the beautiful city of Oaxaca in southern Mexico.

Casa Colonial, an informal bed-and-breakfast owned by Jane and Thornton Robison, is a perfect home base for a visit to Oaxaca environs.

The Robisons will help you make daily plans, which might include visiting an Indian market, a beautiful church or museum, shopping for folk or fine art, or visiting incredible archeological sites, some dating back to 500 B.C. There are many small villages in the Valley of Oaxaca that are now famous for weaving, ceramic sculptures, wood carving and pottery.

The rooms, all with private baths, surround a central courtyard. There is a large, comfortable living room/library with an amazing arrary of books, many of which are about Mexico and Oaxaca in particular.

The food is outstanding. Meals are prepared with purified water by the same women who started when the Casa opened, 25 years ago.
Although the winter months in Oaxaca offer a warm and dry respite for North Americans, the summer months are also pleasant -- a bit warmer, with chances of late afternoon showers.

For anyone wishing a laid-back atmosphere and a wonderful experience, the Casa is the place.

"After staying at other Oaxaca hotels in the past, I have made the Casa my choice for the past 20 years. The accomodations are excellent, the food suberb (and safe), and the location allows for easy exploring. The hosts offer advice and help not found elsewhere in the city."-- Houston, Texas.

"When first making our plans, we thought it sounded right to try out two different places to stay. In retrospect, we agreed that if we had it to do over again, we´d definitely have spent the entire week at the Casa, and we´d certainly recommend it to friends."--San Francisco, California.

Reviews 

We have also gotten great reviews from Moon Handbooks Oaxaca...

"Once inside, you immediately see why Casa Colonial is so popular. Rooms enfold a spacious, gracefully beautiful inner garden. Besides all the leisurely tropical ambience guests enjoy the use of a spacious, refined but homey living room with shelves of books."

...and from Frommer's Mexico 2007...

"The casual and comfortable setting created by the attentive and gracious hosts of this B&B promptly sets you at ease. The charmingly decorated and furnished rooms evoke an earlier time."
