I came to the Tepoztlan/Cuernavaca area at the end of 2013 to scout out a place to rent for a month in 2014. Over three days, I saw several rental properties that didn't come close to the charm and natural splendor of this hacienda. By simply driving on to the long tree lined driveway and then walking into "la casa grande" you will instinctively sigh and begin to relax. The staff is very professional, knowledgable and understated. Never underfoot, never hovering. As far as meals go, let me say this: You won't find better traditional dishes or atmosphere in any fancy restaurants in the area. Early in the day Laidiana or Josefina will suggest menus to prepare for the day. Felipe, a jack of all trades, is an excellent griller. On the other hand, you may want to cook for yourself in the fully equipped kitchen. Right before dinner, Fransico will set a candle lit table with freshly cut flowers on the patio or inside the stone chapel. (Yes --- this property has it own chapel) He will also open and serve the wine of your choosing. I'm not exaggerating when I say that this place is truly traditional "Mexico lindo."
One last thing: For those of you who have to stay connected even in paradise, there is wi fi.
