Patzcuaro is a magical place and this is the most magical spot from which to experience it. Just a short walk from downtown, the hotel is perched on the edge of a hill (the estribo grande) from which you can see fisherman on Lake Patzcuaro and the island of Janitizio sparkling in the night. Outside, campesinos drive their cows and goats up the street. Inside you will want for nothing. With it's beautiful grounds, deluxe facilities and a staff that will pamper you, you will think you died and went to heaven.

Lovely, new, eco-conscious hotel with a quiet location, amazing lake view, Mexican-craft inspired rooms, and attentive service. Breakfast delivered to our room by Gloria, with her smiling face. Gabi, the manager, attended to our every request. Jesus, our driver/guide, took us to master craftsmen in towns around Lake Patzcuaro where we saw demonstrations. Patzcuaro is a small, typical town, with few tourists, good restaurants and shopping, and many nearby sights. A 4-5 hour drive from Ixtapa was well worth the trip. Highly recommended.

Outstanding personal service, attention to detail, incredible views, wonderful ambience and a true cultual experience we will never forget! Lots of superlatives, huh? I mean every word...

My wife, brother and I spent 2 weeks at the Eco Hotel and were totally impressed with the location, the unique decor of each room, and most of all, with Michelle and Dave's dedication, that provided guests access to the best local artisans and their desire to create a full cultural experience for all who visit Patzcuaro. Michelle arranged for optional tours of the local villages and an unforgetable "all nighter" tour of several cemeteries for the Noche de muertos events.

We cannot say enough about this wonderful experience and highly recommend the Eco Hotel for anyone who wants to experience the authentic, local flavor of a wonderful colonial city.

We had the pleasure of staying at the Eco-Hotel during Day of the Dead. Upon our arrival and weary from our travel we were greeted with ice cold beer, carundas (a yummy tamale-like dish), and a dance performance by local youth. It was fabulous! The Eco-Hotel provides you with the unique opportunity to interact with other interesting guests or enjoy your privacy. The rooms are beatiful, the view is amazing, and your hosts are great. Michelle made sure we had a
"genuine" versus touristy experience. We had such a splendid visit, we're making plans to move there (As soon as we win the lottery.)
