I reached out to meet with them and set up n appointment but she never showed up. When I called…read moreher, she said she isn't in the office and cancelled on me. Oh well better to find out sooner than later about their reliability and trustworthiness.

Reluctantly, one star.... A model of inefficiency if ever…read morethere was one! We rented our Oaxaca apartment through Sil Mexico... Yikes! Each month, paying our (expensive) rent came with new problems! On the average it took us three to four trips into the office..... The mgr. was rarely there when he said, the small atm card reader was broken, and would "take weeks" to fix. The bank couldn't accept our check from a very reputable financial firm, etc...etc... Get the picture?? RUN away from Sil Mexico as fast as possible! The latest wrinkle: our friends were tenants through Sil Mexico for many years......they had to keep first, last and a month guarantee. Our friends have tried for over a month to get their deposits back to no avail! Realty Co. says place was left in shambles!!! Not true at all. Run while you can...

You hit the Jackpot. I really don't know where to begin with this review because there's so much…read morepositive to say about this place. So, let me begin with the incredible and always helpful Amado, the general manager. Jane is life energy and smiles with tons of knowledge about the area. Transplanted from Arizona, she has made this her home for the last thirty something years. Amado has more knowledge and information that he willingly shares than anybody that you'll find in the area. That is actually, both of them have hearts of gold, and they're so pleasant to be around. As you arrive at this long green wall with a huge magenta colored door in the city itself, your imagination runs wild with what could be on the other side. As you pass through the doorway and come out the portico, an archway of boganville and flowers and a huge garden in the middle of the area, your eyes are just filled with colors of tropical flowers. Surrounding the garden all the way around are the rooms of this former ranch house converted into this unique b&b that's offered here. Also, here is a kitchen staffed with amazing local chefs creating their wonderful dishes, and the housekeepers are solid gold nice people. You will undoubtedly see the gardener wandering around cleaning the area to make sure you have and eye appealing visit he is such a nice man. For those who like to read or study? There's a sola that has a couple of guitars in it if. You like music and a library where you can just relax. In the rear accommodations, it's a private area for groups of artists that come down and stay and study and show the arts. Every aspect of this place has been thought over then rethought, then rethought until it became perfect. I can't believe it took me so long to come back for my second visit. This is completely one of the best kept secrets in the city of Oaxaca. The rates here include breakfast every day, and you can arrange for lunch if they're serving it and dinner every night. Absolutely incredible affordible pricing for the rooms. It's easily one of the best and easiest recommended accommodations I've ever made.

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Colonial. Its unassuming exterior hides a beautiful garden,…read moreincredible kitchen, sweet dalmatian and very helpful staff. We thoroughly enjoyed our breakfasts and fellow guests. Amado was helpful with restaurant and logistics recommendations in town. We enjoyed the library and were allowed to use their small laundry room to iron our clothes for a wedding we were attending. We were very comfortable in our room. The bathroom was very roomy. The water pressure was very light in the shower. Oaxaca has a water shortage, so we understood doing our part. We highly recommend Casa Colonial.
