Some places don’t just host bodies—they hold stories. Casa Antonieta is one of them: a space where colonial stonespeaks of the 17th century, and Oaxaca’s light touches the hearts of everyone who visits. More than a boutique hotel, it’s a nod to the slow life—an invitation to disconnect in order to reconnect, with yourself and with the flavors of this magical city.

A Building That Holds Time

Once part of the historic San Pablo Convent, this restored space preserves its three-level arched gallery, a rare architectural gem that blends heritage with personality. Today, it lives in harmony with modern design touches that feel fresh while honoring the spirit of the past. Each room is unique, with high ceilings and thoughtful details that merge eras seamlessly.

The Courtyard: Where Two Worlds Meet

The heart of Casa Antonieta beats in its central courtyard, a space where guests, locals, and passersby naturally come together. It’s the perfect place to start your day with a cup of Finca Las Nieves coffee—100% organic and grown in San Juan Lachao—or to enjoy a quiet afternoon surrounded by plants, golden light, and easy conversation at Amá Terraza, a corner made for the art of simply being.

Flavors That Connect

Muss Café is a cozy spot where coffee and comfort food become the perfect excuse to share a table with fellow travelers or locals who know this hidden gem well.

Amá Terraza, by contrast, brings together nostalgia and freshness in every dish, every glass of natural Mexican wine, and every moment. It’s the perfect place to get lost in a book, bask in the morning light, or sip an aperitif at sunset.

For those who want the full experience, there are rituals that make all the difference: ask the team to share the building’s history (every stone holds a piece of the past), enjoy breakfast in the courtyard while sunlight filters through the arches, and make your way up to the rooftop at sunset, when the golden light turns everything into a living painting.

Casa Antonieta in Oaxaca isn’t just a place to visit—it’s a place to inhabit. And once you do, it’s hard not to feel like, somehow, you already belonged there.
