La Casa de Mis Recuerdos

A marvelous, aesthetic décor prevails throughout this 10-room guesthouse. Old-style tiles, mirrors, masks and all sorts of other Mexican crafts adorn the walls and halls. The best rooms overlook a fragrant central garden; two have air-con and two have a shared bathroom. The large breakfast, a highlight, is served in a beautiful dining room. Host Nora Valencia also offers cultural tours and cooking classes. There’s a minimum stay of three nights. The owners also offer a B&B with similarly excellent breakfasts in two beautifully decorated smaller houses not much further from the center: Encanto Jalatlaco (Niños Héroes 115; singles/doubles including breakfast M$1170/1560; [nosmoke]) and Estancia de Valencia (Maza de Juárez 207; singles/doubles including breakfast M$1170/1560; [nosmoke]).
