We arrived to Ranchero San Cayetano at night, after the kitchen had closed. Despite this, the wonderful host made sure we would have a nice light dinner and a good glass of wine to settle in from our journey on the road. With the weather being a bit chilly, the wood burning fireplace in the room was the perfect way... More

After six and a half hours on buses of various sorts and two very long cab rides we pulled off the road, through the stone gates and found ourselves in a veritable oasis... vast expanses of manicured lawns, stone pathways, shade trees and flowers... It really is breathtaking... We felt very much like we were on one of the gulf... More

Luxurious and relaxed, this country lodge has a variety of spacious and character-filled rooms (every one with a working fireplace: very welcome on cool evenings), a generous open-air pool to ease the...

It's hard to explain the feeling of serenity you feel upon arrival at this "rancho". It is truly a gem. The rooms are luxurious, with lovely duvets and warm blankets. You are after all at approx. 5,000 feet, so it's cool in the evenings. There is a fireplace as well so no lack of comforts. The decor is Mexican "folk".... More

The wash basin was very chipped and the shower area was really in need of modernisation. We were also a little disappointed at the meal arrangements. The food... More

The resort itself is peaceful and beautifully maintained, the food is tasty and plentiful, the rooms are homey and spotless...the list... More

Lisette and Pablo go the extra mile to make this resort a delightful stop on a trip to Michocoan. From Lisette's superb cuisine to Pablo's accommodating help with tours--including horseback rides up to monarch reserves--San Cayetano creates an experience worth savoring. Staff are customer-service sensitive, and most speak some English. Even the dogs are friendly. Prices are reasonable for the... More

The accommodation is set in extensive grounds which are absolutely beautiful and full of flowers and a large range of birds. The owners , Lisette and Pablo were excellent hosts and very helpful and attentive, as was the receptionist Doris.... More
