Lose yourself and instead find inner peace amongst Mexico’s flourishing flora, fauna and forest scenery.

location

Where exactly is the middle of nowhere? Well we think we’ve found it about 100 miles west of Mexico City, near the town Zitacuaro. What Hotel Rancho San Cayetano offers is an authentic Mexican country retreat full of natural tranquil vibes and all the bucolic charms of a place seeped in its own heritage. Here, you’ll find traditional furniture blending in seamlessly with its peaceful surroundings and the beauty of nature setting the tone for the tranquil pace of life in this exquisite luxury hotel.

your room

Using traditional building techniques, the rooms hark back to the slower times of life in this laid-back part of Mexico. Find beamed ceilings, wooden floors adorned with traditional handmade Mayan rugs, and authentic stone walls decorated with Mexican artwork and handicrafts. The homely, rustic feel makes for a cosy, authentic and luxuriously comfortable stay. Customary features like the iron stoves and fireplaces are perfect for curling up in front of with a glass of wine and the sounds of the Mexican forest chirping outside the windows.

why we like it

For a genuine Mexican country retreat, Hotel Rancho San Cayetano can’t be beaten. Not only this, but we love how the hotel’s in-house restaurant is more of an open country kitchen than a restaurant, creating a relaxed, friendly atmosphere with their Michoacán recipes and old cooking methods. Nothing else in Mexico will give you such a full flavour of Mexican country life and food.
