Casa de la Real Aduana Boutique Hotel

Our stay at Casa de la Real Aduana far exceeded our expectations. The attention to detail, the location, the breakfasts, the generous hospitality of Didier and Gemma were extraordinary. It is located in an historic building in the center of town filled with art pieces, antique furniture, courtyard, patios, fireplace, dining room, and more. The staff was very helpful and accommodating. In fact, we enjoyed ourselves so much, we changed our plans and stayed two extra nights.

I can't think of a single thing that wasn't delightful.

The breakfast served every morning (often with a roaring wood fire) was delightful. Conversation with Didier, the owner and an extraordinary photographer, print maker, designer, and collector, was wonderful. We did more than have a lovely stay, we made new friends.

I can think of nothing!

We were overwhelmed the minute we entered the gate of Casa de la Real Aduana! The large and ancient house has been beautifully and lovingly restored and surrounds a central courtyard and its plantings. Each walkway was its own museum, filled with Mexican pottery and interesting objects beyond imagination. There are just five attractive guest rooms. Just down the road is the City's Plaza Grande with fountains, sitting areas and lots of shops and restaurants. Patzcuaro was a joy to visit, and Didier and Gemma were special, interesting and welcoming hosts.

This property and its hosts are beyond perfect.
