Why stay in a hotel when you can have a whole villa? One of the few luxury vacation rental vacation homes in Taxco, Mexico, Casa de las Palmas, boasts a beautiful villa, studio apartment, and individual room and a totally enclosed tropical paradise. Behind unassuming iron doors and stone walls covered with bougainvillea and tropical foliage lies an oasis of luxurious gardens, a bubling fountain, and Colonial architecture. Just 2 blocks from the heart of Taxco, American owned Casa de las Palmas is a house you will long remember and a hidden retreat after a busy day of sight seeing.
Casa de las Palmas has quite a colorful past. We have heard from locals that world famous Mexican artist, Diego Rivera, was frequent guest of artist, Clinton King, who owned the house at that time. It was later the residence of a wealthy New York heir for 50 years. The house has had several articles written about it and is being discovered as a secret luxury tucked in the heart of Taxco. For the first time in it's history, Casa de las Palmas is available as a unique vacation experience.
Rent a Car
There are several rental agencies at the airport. You will get a cheaper rate if you arrange it over the internet than if you wait till you get here. You will not need the car once you are at our house. Be sure to have pesos for tolls that are quite expensive.
Private Driver
We have a private driver we use who can pick you up from the airport and bring you right to our front door. He has a very nice car or van for larger groups. It is $165 one way. This sounds like a lot, but for larger groups it is the best option and it is very convenient.
Bus
Rather than taking 2 seperate buses and have to change bus stations in Cuernavaca, I recommend taking a taxi from directly in front of the airport terminal to the Tasquena Bus Station. This is about a 30 minute drive and costs around 100 pesos (this price is at least a year old.) The taxis are well organized so buy your taxi ticket right inside the terminal or coach station so there is no gouging. You will then take a luxury coach directly to Taxco which will take about 2.5 hours. The bus company is www.estrellaoro.com.mx. You can book and pay on-line and may wish to book your return too. Once in Taxco a taxi can take you to Casa de las Palmas for 20 pesos.
