"On the edges of Oaxaca’s most northern barrios at the foot of the Sierra Norte mountains, you'll find Hotel Casa Santo Origen. The walled compound of this eight-room boutique hotel opens up to alfresco common spaces with an L-shaped infinity pool; you'll also find patios cloistered among fragrant plumeria trees throughout the property. Guest suites are spacious and each has either a balcony or garden views—with several including their own private plunge pool. Entre Sombras is the hotel's on-site restaurant, which forgoes Oaxacan fare in favor of Mediterranean dishes. It features uninterrupted views of the nearby Sierra Norte mountains."
