We spent a month here, and couldn't have asked for anything more. We appreciated the attention to detail- extra towels, flannel sheets when the weather got chilly, well equipped kitchen, lovely antiques and artwork, comfortable furnishings, beautiful gardens and courtyards. This is the most peaceful place we have stayed in Mexico. Wonderful hospitality, we will definitely stay here again and... More

Our pal had twin beds, living room and complete kitchen. Ours on the second level... More

I stayed at El Refugio during my stay. I must say that during my week-long stay I did not experience any of the experiences... More

I was lucky enough to stay there for a few nights twice already and I would totally do it again. The rooms are clean, safe and very well located, the staff is always helpfull and warm. By far the best place to stay at if you are planning on making a trip to Patzcuaro an amazing everlasting memory.
