Casa Ancestral de La Noria Private garden oasis - 15 minute walk from El Zocalo

The original home on the property was built in the early 1900's and remained in the same family for over 100 years. It was a small home, that had a small general store in the front of the house, with various structures on the property. Many of the trees are original to the property, as is the water well in the central garden.

The family remodeled the home in the late 1990's with the intention of operating a hostel on the property. They never attained their goal, and the home was abandoned, sat empty for years and fell into disrepair.

When we purchased the property in 2019, we were the second owners, and the property was inhabitable. Overgrown with weeds, countless pipes that didn't work, wiring and roofs that needed replaced.

With a vision of the home's potential, and with lots of passion, hard work and the dedication of a team of talented professionals, we have transformed the house into "Casa Ancestral de La Noria".

It is our plan in the coming years to do a major renovation of "Casa Ancestral" and make it our private residence as well as operate a Bed and Breakfast / an intimate small "boutique hotel" for up to 6 guests.

In the meantime, you can enjoy the home as it is, and in the years to come return as a guest which will include a gourmet European and Oaxacan style breakfast, cocktail hour, along with lots of other amenities!

Please note: This is our private home. Guests are expected to keep the house tidy at all times. At check out, to avoid additional cleaning or damage fees, the house is expected to be left in the same condition as at check in. Guests are not permitted to use washing machine

The Barrio of La Noria is very unique. If you are looking for an authentic Oaxacan experience and want to be immersed in local culture, it's the place for for you.

While La Noria does not have the recognition or cliche of other well known - touristic parts of the city, it is just steps away from the iconic land marks of Oaxaca.

The Zocalo, Benito Juarez and 20 November markets, historic churches, former convents and the Cathedral of Oaxaca are all a short walk away.

In La Noria, families and store owners have lived and run the same business' for generations. While this barrio has the convinces of other parts of the city, store owners and restauranteurs are incredibly friendly, helpful and welcoming to guests from around the world! While walking around in La Noria, everyone is greeted with a smile and a cheerful "Buenos Dias!"
