We have a small farm area at home, with a dozen goats, a few sheeps, some chickens, a rooster and 3 friendly dogs. We have quite a fews cows and farmland, but these are a short drive away.

We have an open concept house, where all rooms face a central yard. There are 2 washrooms, both are shared by everyone - we have excellent water pressure and plenty of hot water! Washing machine is also available if you need.

Common areas include some outdoor lounging areas (couches, hammock and table/chairs), the kitchen and the rooftops make for good morning yoga or stargazing spots. The kitchen is a common area. Mom cooks daily meals and you can eat with us (100 pesos) or use the kitchen to cook your own food.

Please keep in mind that this is an operational farm, so we are up early, so are the animals, and we have a truck and tractor that leave the property each morning. 

Our house is located in the centre of Teotitlan Del Vallee, at the foothills of Picacho mountain, 3 blocks from the town center.
