Marci
and I discovered the charming old Indian village of Tepoztlán in the heart
of Mexico, quite by accident. Bruce came down to Cuernavaca- the City of Eternal
Spring for an outdoor program with David Wiley. David brought Bruce to Tepoztlán
for lunch one day and it was love at first sight. Tepoztlán is a small
Pueblo of 35,000 people nestled next to a large mountain chain an hour and a half
drive from Mexico City. It has an ancient history and enjoys every climate available
in Mexico. That was five years ago and now we are no longer tourists but residents.
We are the proud owners of a boutique hotel we call Villa del Tepoz Fuego. It
didn't take us long to decide that this was where we wanted to settle. But, how
to make a living?
Marci wanted to open a bed and breakfast but when we
realized that many of the restaurants in town were closed during the week, we
decided to offer a full-service restaurant, along with an intimate hotel. Because
we had spent part of our careers as health-care professionals (Marci as a holistic
nurse, and Bruce as a Chinese medicine practitioner), we decided to devote part
of our property into a jewel-like spa. This would attract international travelers,
as well as Mexican visitors
In order to create our dream, we undertook a
total renovation of the house and grounds. This took 13 months of six day a week
construction. Today Tepoz Fuego is comprised of 3 rooms and 4 suites, an open-air
restaurant and bar, swimming pool and beautiful gardens surrounded by spectacular
views of the surrounding beauty of the Tepozteco Mountains. This peaceful
oasis features its own stream and two small waterfalls.
Marci and I traveled
throughout Mexico in search of Mexican art and antiques with which to furnish
the rooms-each with a different theme. For example, The Oaxaca Suite, designed
honeymoon couples, is decorated with Oaxaca pottery, rug, and beautiful paintings..
It boasts a fireplace, talavera tiled bathroom, fireplace, jacuzzi tub for two,
and two patios on the second floor to sit and contemplate the vista views. Some
of are other rooms like the Garden Suite features a Jacuzzi and separate shower,
beautiful original Mexican paintings, and a first floor outdoor private patio.
All of our main rooms have private bathrooms and all are appointed with the most
luxurious products-soaps, creams, shampoos. Of course, there is a hair dryer in
every room. There is a room or suite for every guest and every pocketbook. Our
spa and resting areas feature original frescos and murals with pastoral scenes.
We can boast some of the finest massage therapists in the country.
All of
our staff here come from the Tepoztlán area and feel like members of the
family. We have slowly assembled and educated to them to our unique concept and
offering for our special guests. None of them had ever eaten in an elegant restaurant
like ours or in a hotel like hours so they needed to learn about a new set of
standards and international hygiene.
Bruce, loves to play the piano so we
on request provide beautiful dinner music to our many savory and delicious offerings.
We wanted to have an excellent offering of delicious culinary experiences for
our guests and with now our restaurant has been rated by our guests as the number
one restaurant in Tepoztlán on the independent international web site Trip
Advisor. We are fortunate to have one of the best chefs in Mexico with Chef Noe
Rrodriquez Ocamo, who manages the kitchen. His assistant, Chef Alvaro Miranda
Portugal, is equally skilled. Marci and I do most of the shopping ourselves so
that guests have only organic fresh fruits and vegetables. Guests can feast n
the freshest fish and the best cuts of meat. Naturally, all breads and desserts
are made on the premises. Some of our favorite dishes are mussels in wine sauce,
red snapper stuffed with fresh gulf shrimps, chile rellenos, and the French cut
lamb chops. We are one of the few restaurants with real maple syrup, homemade
cinnamon rolls and the best homemade pancakes in Mexico. Our waiter Rodrigo Villalpando
Aceves has had many years of domestic and international experience as a top server
in his profession. He also doubles as our driver and picks up guests from Cuernavaca
or Mexico City in our spacious hotel van.
I must boast that our little
hotel is famous for the best margaritas and the largest wine menu in the area.
We have a nice assortment of the best domestic wines and wines from eight countries
from around the world. We carry nine domestic brands of beer and lots of choices
from our bar. We also carry imported sparkling wine and champagne.
Marci
and I have never lost our fascination with Tepoz or surrounding villages and haciendas.
So we love organizing personal tours for our guests. There's the local volcanoes,
Popocatépetl Volcano, and Iztaccíhuatl Volcano .
We are one
of the few facilities in Mexico with a chlorine- free authentic hot Jacuzzi and
pool. We use ultra violet lights to kill bacteria in our general water supply
and in the swimming or bathing areas, We wash our laundry with out soaps containing
perfumes or dyes.
We like to do the little things for our guest's pleasure.
We turn their beds down at night and place candies for their enjoyment. We take
special requests like putting hearts of rose petals on their beds saying things
like "I Love You", special flowers in their room, champagne or wines
in their room while waiting for their arrival. We honor special requests for dining
and provide candle lights at our tables, and special romantic meals upon request.
We have many beautiful places to have a special rendezvous in or outside of our
gourmet restaurant.
Our most popular offering is our cooking classes taught
by Marci and Noe. We also have Spanish classes on the premises with wonderful
professional teachers.
Our bilingual reservation manager, Olivia Dorantes
Garcia, sees to everyone's needs, whether they require reservations at our hotel,
or want to have an event or special occasion at our facility. Her attention to
details, communication skills, and excellent customer service insures that we
exceed our guest's expectations and help them to have the best vacation experience
of their lives. What Marci and Bruce always like say is our house is your
house. "Nuestra casa es tu casa."

"Alex
and I just returned from a vacation to Tepoztlán, Mexico, and I feel compelled
to tell you about this hotel, as I think you would REALLY like vacationing there....
...The
hotel rooms are beautiful and comfortable, nearly all affording wonderful views
of those enchanting mountains in Tepoztlán.
We stayed in the Oaxaca
Suite at the hotel, which is the room I would recommend for you. A full gourmet
cooked to order breakfast is included in your hotel room fee, When I say gourmet,
I mean international spa cuisine standard fare. The hotel chef, is a genius. His
food is seasoned and cooked to perfection, and it is light, highly flavorful and
completely fresh, whether it is adapted traditional Mexican, European or fusion..."
