Mexico City’s Secretary of Tourism recently named the San Angel neighborhood a Barrio Magico (Magic Neighborhood). San Angel, located 12km (7.4 miles) southwest of the historic center, was once a retreat for wealthy city residents. Cobblestone streets, plazas, gardens and elegant estates are reminiscent of the neighborhood’s rich colonial past.

San Angel is home to monuments, historic residences, a former Dominican monastery, a cultural center housed in what was once a municipal palace and several interesting museums. Among them are the Risco House Museum (Plaza San Jacinto 15) with its impressive 18th century talavera tile fountain, the Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo Studio Museum (Diego Rivera 2 and Altavista 4) and the Anahuacalli Museum (Calle del Museo 150) that houses yet another of Mexican muralist Diego Rivera’s studios.

You’ll find several colorful markets, art galleries and shops scattered throughout the neighborhood and a good selection of restaurants, bars and cafes, many with inviting open-air terraces. San Angel’s Bazar Sabado (Saturday market), held in a two-story building located just off the main Plaza San Jacintos, makes an ideal place to browse an array of quality handicrafts from across Mexico.

Throughout the year the San Angel neighborhood hosts several festivals and cultural celebrations including the San Angel Flower Festival and the Fiesta de la Virgen del Carmen. San Angel is also the site of some of Mexico City’s most impressive alters during the annual Day of the Dead holiday.

The nearby residential neighborhood of Chimalistac has yet to become a top tourist destination, but what it lacks in the way of visitor attractions, it makes up for in Mexican traditions and colonial-era charm. With an atmosphere that’s more reminiscent of a small Mexican town than a big city neighborhood, Chimalistac feels worlds away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Mexico City.

Mexico City stay
We stayed last week for a stay to see Mexico City. We do not speak Spanish, the hosts were very helpful and even met us at 1 in the morning to check us in with a smiling face. The location is really pretty and felt very safe. We would highly recommend it, the shower was very difficult to use, but other than that wonderful. Thank you again for making our stay in Mexico City a great one. Good restaurants near by, an amazing bakery and easy to use Uber for all transportation. Thank you again!

Serene, just what I needed!
I was in Mexico City on business for four days and decided to stay away from the congestion of downtown for the first time in years. My host, Juan Gabriel, was away but his gracious sister and brother-in-law were there to get me situated, find me a cork screw and show me the trick with the front door. Everything went as planned, I slept peacefully, listened to birds in the morning, ate around the corner and strolled to the San Angel market on Saturday morning. They had a big jug of bottled water and cookies waiting for me and there was plenty of hot water and a very comfortable double bed. They are a lovely family of five siblings living separately in a large garden compound with individual rentals available for travelers. You get all of the privacy, peace and quiet you need in a safe secure environment. But, if you need something, they are a little pathway away. I still had to accomplish a great deal in the city but I had a very quiet place to return to by the way of a cobbled road. It made the transition of "there" to "here" a delight. Their place is highly recommended for a break from the American way of work. I might add that the PayPal remittance link to VRBO failed on numerous occasions and Juan Gabriel just trusted that I would show up and settle my affairs once I arrived. Someone having the confidence that that I would honor my word was a real plus for me. Susie Flores, San Antonio, Texas

Excellent value for the money
San Angel is a lovely area, and the Garden House is a perfect base to explore from. It is very quiet and secure. The hosts, who live on site, are friendly and helpful. The suite we rented is well equipped, spacious, and is excellent value for the money.

About the host

Hosted by Juan Gabriel Solorzano Velasco

Host profile image
My name is Juan Gabriel Solorzano and I am a Mexican Architecht who has lived in San Angel all his life. I know this neighbourhood well, and it is with great pride that I welcome guests here. As an architect, I pay special attention to the design and functionality of space. I trust you will find in my place a combination of comfort and elegance. I particularly enjoy landscape architecture and have built lush gardens into my properties. What I like most form VRBO-Home Away is the opportunity to show guests a little bit of the Mexico that I love.

Why they chose this property

We hope you enjoy this magic place as much as we do. We have a very long tradition of hosting guests. Since our grandparents moved to San Angel, we have always share our place with people from all over the world.
In order to continue with this tradition we will ask you to take care of our home as if yours.
San Angel is a special and interesting place full of history. It was declared historical monument in 1987 due to its beauty and culture. Walking around its cobbled small streets is a real pleasure and a journey to the past.
Although this place has changed through time, what you see at Garden House San Angel has been part of this amazing neighbourhood for more than 70 years.

What makes this property unique

New suites with their own kitchen and bathroom totally independent giving privacy at a quiet and peaceful place. Its location, a block from Revolucion Avenue and four blocks from Insurgentes Avenue, has an excellent connection with all areas. The subway is five blocks away. Nevertheless the cobbled and full of trees streets give a quiet and peaceful experience. Once in the property it feels as if being far from the noises and rhythm of the big city.
