18-GUEST ESTATE - Casa Chavela is a boutique hotel, artist residency, and gathering place nestled in the magical town of Tepoztlán. Best known as the final home of legendary Mexican singer and poet Chavela Vargas, who spent the last years of her life here, the property remains deeply infused with her spirit and legacy. Historically known as Quinta Monina, the estate was carefully restored to preserve its original character while blending the aesthetics of the 1960s and 70s with natural, locally sourced materials such as volcanic stone, clay, and wood. Surrounded by lush gardens and framed by the dramatic Tepozteco mountains, Casa Chavela offers a unique setting where history, nature, and artistic expression come together. Guests may reserve an individual room or book the entire property, which features seven unique guest rooms including three independent bungalows with kitchenettes, and a collection of shared spaces designed for gathering and celebration. Generous gardens, a swimming pool, outdoor lounges, a wood-fired pizza oven, barbecue areas, and open-air dining spaces invite guests to enjoy life outdoors. A glass studio, communal kitchen, and welcoming living spaces further reinforce the property's creative and communal spirit. Throughout the estate, traces of Chavela's presence remain. Several of the original rooms have been thoughtfully restored, including spaces that once formed part of her daily life. Artisan-made furnishings and decorative elements crafted by local makers celebrate the region's traditions while maintaining a strong connection to the house's history. Whether visiting for a quiet retreat, a creative residency, a family gathering, or a boutique wedding, Casa Chavela offers a rare opportunity to experience the legacy of one of Mexico's most beloved cultural icons in a place where culture, nature, and hospitality continue to thrive.
