A Unique Place

Casa Sagrada is located in the valley of Oaxaca above the native Zapotec village of Teotitlan del Valle, a community of weavers famous for their rich traditions, lively fiestas and delicious cuisine.
Casa Sagrada, designed by Teotitlan artist Arnulfo Mendoza, is rich in unique details - from shady corridors lined with blonde bamboo to its walls hung with original Oaxacan art - including many of Mendoza’s finest paintings and weavings. Take a virtual tour of Casa Sagrada
