| Stunning spacious house with solar heated pool in San Felipe del Agua, Oaxaca |
We offer for rent a beautiful, fully furnished 2 bed + study area/2 bathroom house. It is very spacious and combines the best of modern and traditional design,. Our house has a modern kitchen with a new stove, big fridge, washer etc a large inviting lounge/dining room with high wooden beamed ceiling leading on to a roofed terrace with grill, hammock etc downstairs leading on to a garden, 2 bathrooms. There are two lovely bedrooms; the one upstairs can easily accommodate a double and single if necessary; it has a balcony with great views and a study area. There is a twin bedroom downstairs, also with a desk and plenty of space, next to the terrace where most visitors have passed their time as it is so inviting, beautiful, cool and relaxing. (Access to the solar heated pool next door can be arranged.)
The house is set in stunning surroundings, with views of the
mountains from all angles of the house. It is situated in the most desirable residential area of Oaxaca, San Felipe del Agua. The house is set back 40 metres from the road (which has little traffic) so it is very peaceful and is only moments from local shops. San Felipe del Agua juxtaposes 5 star hotels and simple abodes and its cobbled-stoned roads are shared by sophisticated cars, cows and donkeys.
The house is surprisingly close to the historic centre, so you will have the best of all worlds! Wake up with a glorious view to the mountains from your bedroom window,, exotic birds in your lush garden and the smell of tortillas, handmade in the ancient way, by a neighbouring family, just minutes from your door. They will be happy to provide you with this delicious local food on a daily basis. The house is 2 blocks from the San Felipe del Agua Church and its square
which has market days on Tuesday, Friday and Saturday, a local lending library and resturants and many places to eat. The bus into town (running every day) is less than a 5 minute walk away from the house; and schools, for families with young children, are also within walking distance, so a car is not needed.
Oaxaca is a popular spot for both foreigners and Mexicans due to the
year-long wonderful climate and the exceptional scenery including cactus
lined valleys and glorious mountains. There are fascinating cultural buildings and artisanal markets; also including museums, restaurants, various exciting specialist markets, and experiencing nature eg hiking in spectacular parks and ecologically important forests, etc.
It is easy to arrange weekly or even daily help at home -to help with
cleaning, cooking or baby sitting at very reasonable rates.
We are a British/Mexican couple who have lived in San Felipe for 11 years and are a convenient source of local knowledge. Sergio is an anthropologist and musicologist. Judith is a psychologist, anthropologist and painter. Sofia and Olivia are our two wonderful, bi-lingual, daughters.
We rent the house for visitors who would like stay short and long term to paint/write/relax or immerse their children in the most colourful Mexican culture to learn/improve their Spanish and experience the world in one of the most popular cities in Mexico. Visitors with children will enjoy all the extra curricular activities that Oaxaca has to offer, Spanish classes, art classes teaching artesanal craft, climbing, dance, horse riding etc.
We know many families who have come to Oaxaca for a year with and without children of various ages who have adapted to school life and learnt Spanish with amazing ease(there are bi-lingual schools though visitors prefer to immerse their children in Spanish speaking schools. Please note that Oaxaca is still a safe area of Mexico. See our VRBO reviews
