El Diablo y La Luna
"Where the devil goes to think."
A house built into the hillside above the city — a Talavera-tiled pool open to the Sierra Norte, breakfast over the valley, and the whole of Oaxaca laid out below you.
Enter ↓A little higher, a little quieter.
La Luna is the newer house — built up the hillside in Colonia Figueroa, where the streets go quiet and the city opens out below. Contemporary lines, high wooden ceilings and big windows, all wrapped around a courtyard and a terrace pool.
Mornings are for breakfast on the terrace, watching the valley wake up; afternoons for the Talavera pool and the Sierra Norte on the horizon. Five Lotería rooms and La Casita — a private two-bedroom apartment — share the house, which you can also take entirely for yourselves.
- ✦Talavera-tiled terrace pool with Sierra Norte views
- ✦Terrace breakfast served over the city and the valley
- ✦A quieter street — contemporary design, Oaxacan soul
- ✦5 Lotería rooms + La Casita — or the entire private house
And at La Luna, the sun does the rest.
La Luna runs largely on solar — panels cover much of the house’s power, and solar heaters warm the water, with a gas backup for the cloudy days. Building a house from scratch is a chance to build it right; this is part of how we did.

Closer than you think.
Quieter than you'd believe.
La Luna sits on Ignacio Comonfort, up in Colonia Figueroa — a short way above the centro, where the streets go still and the views open up. It's a climb, and that's exactly why it's so quiet.
Santo Domingo Church is a 13-minute walk downhill (a quick taxi back up), with the pedestrian walk to the Zócalo and the market within easy reach. Tell us your arrival time and we'll meet you at the gate.
