Hotel Villa Montana
Just 15 minutes from the colonial jewel of Morelia, with its majestic palaces, pink quarry and numerous monuments, Villa Montana is the pristine luxury bolthole to base your Morelia explorations. With intricate wall murals, opulent traditional furniture and stone-pillared verandas, there is serious luxury on show here, that’s sure to mean you’ll be kept in a steady supply of extravagance.
location
Set on a tranquil hilltop, Hotel Villa Montana has expansive views over the old colonial city of Morelia and the surrounding natural beauty of the highlands that surround the capital of the Michoacán state. Morelia is a UNESCO World Heritage Cultural Site with ancient Teotihuacan cultural artefacts to discover and imposing palaces and monuments to explore. Michoacán state is also home to the simply amazing Yacata pyramids of Tzintzuntzan, with evidence of civilisations dating back some 10,000 years. Along the Michoacán coast, you’ll find the undulating scenery of the Sierra del Sur with thousands of miles of lush nature to wander through and adventure activities to get your pulse racing should you want a change from all the serene tranquillity.
your room
The casita-style rooms exude their gentle and traditional class, each with their own unique and individual characters. With no two rooms the same, each one provides a different, but equally luxurious experience in Mexican charm. The bright colours that define Mexican culture can be found complementing the traditional, rustic wood hues and teak furniture. You’ll find hand-carved wooden tables and chairs, hand-woven rugs, and paintings and antiques from the local indigenous culture. The spacious bathrooms are lavished with modern fittings and the in-room fireplaces uphold the rustic, traditional feel of Hotel Villa Montana.
why we like it
The combination of luxury and rustic charm is achieved here with picture perfect finesse, as you take in the stunning views towards Morelia and the mountains towering in the distance from your private terrace, perfect with sunset cocktails. The view from the lavish outdoor swimming pool is an experience in itself with its breath-taking vista over landscaped gardens, Morelia’s urban patterns and again the dramatic mountains in the distance. We love how all of Michoacán’s historical and natural sites are all in easy reach, including the stunning butterfly nesting forests, where trees pulsate to the beat of millions of nature’s colourful creations.
