Chalet del Carmen is located in Coyoacán, a beautiful district in the southern park of Mexico City, near the gardens of Xochimilco and the University City.

Your hosts - Manuel and Margrit - are a Mexican-Swiss couple (Manuel is actually from Coyoacan), who decided to open the door of their home to travelers from all over the world, offering their wonderful hospitality and personal attention in the full respect of their guests privacy.

The 6 rooms and suites are all airy and bright with natural wooden floors and spotless en-suite bathrooms, each one with its own characteristics which contribute to the charm and personality of the house.

Camelie is a suite with a king-size bed or two single beds (for 1 or 2 persons), living room with a sofa, garden view and main street view window, dining room with table and six chairs, and fully-equipped kitchenette (refrigerator, microwave, coffee machine, toaster, blender, stove, oven, dishes, silverware, and glasses). The room honors the father of the chalet’s owner, who was an agriculture expert and lover of his garden, with a camelia tree still standing at its front.

The suite Catalina has a full bed for 1 or 2 persons, living room, dining room with table and 4 chairs and fully-equipped kitchenette. It is immersed in a beautiful, tranquil and calm back garden, the perfect place to relax and to concentrate. Its name comes from the nearby Church of Santa Catalina.
