La Casa
Casa Murguia captures the essence of indoor/outdoor Mexican living. You will be met upon arrival by Casa Murguia’s owner Mary Jane Gagnier or Maria Antonia Sanchez, the property’s dedicated guardian.
The quintessential 1950’s architecture epitomizes spacious living with a solar-heated pool, gardens and comfortably furnished patios. This urban oasis, in the heart of Oaxaca’s historic center, is just a few minutes walking to restaurants, museums and great shopping!
And after exploring this UNESCO World Heritage city on foot, return to a quiet retreat embraced by high adobe walls and mature trees.
Casa Murguia is all on one level and suitable for people with accessibility concerns.
Casa Murguia can sleep a total of 16 people.
The Bungalows
There are five rental bungalows and an independent guest room centered around a visually stunning swimming pool.
All the units enjoy a private patio with furniture for outdoor dining & relaxation. Each bungalow’s main bedroom, as well as the Arcoiris room, can be made up with a king size bed or two single beds. The four large bungalows are arranged with an extra single bed in the living room or den.
Rent all of Casa Murguia or just one or more bungalows. Add the Arcoiris room to a bungalow for additional sleeping.

The Pool
Mary Jane was an avid swimmer when she bought this property in 1997 and designed a 25 meter long pool perfect for laps. Three stairs lead with a shallow area before sloping off to a flat 4-foot, 2-lane channel tiled with barracudas and angel fish. Solar panels and a insulated coved keep the pool a year round temperature between 28º – 30º (82 – 86 Fahrenheit)
The Gardens
Palm trees, trumpet vines and native Plumeria trees highlight the gardens. Tall potted plants give the patios of Villa del Sol and Primavera bungalows privacy but can be moved aside to create one 6 x 8 meter space. Mature gardens ensconce the outdoor living spaces of Bougainvillea, Aguacate and Bird of Paradise bungalows.
The Rooftop Terrace
This communal space offers clear views south to the red dome of Las Nieves church and across the treed property to the Sierra Juarez mountains to the north. Sip steaming coffee while basking in the morning sun, fix some vitamin D on a chaise lounge or toast the golden hour on the partially covered rooftop terrance.
