"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..."

"I
had a wonderful visit to your villa/bed and breakfast and spa. They are absolutely
gorgeous, just wish I had had more time to spend there. The hotel food was wonderful!
Please tell you chef how much I enjoyed his delicious dishes. And please tell
Ivan ? that I think he is so nice and a great hotel waiter and that I miss his
handsome smile!"

Dear
Marci &Bruce I can not begin to tell you how much I enjoyed my stay with you
and all the effort on your part to accommodate me while in Tepozlan. I still find
it hard to believe that a 5 star hotel , by NYC standards exist there. Please
know it was truly my pleasure to meet you both and enjoy your company. I WILL
be coming back next year when Theresa go's on pilgrimage but this time my destination
wont be Mexico, it will be Villa del Tepoz Fuego! Love Anthony
Dear
Marci and Bruce:
Thank you very much for everything. We really had a ver
special time as seems to be the case with all our guests. We have received a lot
of comments of the positive energy in the wedding. It was what we expected it
to be: warm, intimate and joyful. Clearly the environment that you have created
and the quality and good organization of your services contributed to have everyone
relaxed and happy.
We would also like to show you personally the pictures
of us in the wedding to remember that special day. It will be nice to meet with
you again and have time for a chat and a drink perhaps in Tepoztlan or perhaps
in Mexico City. We have a sense that there are a lot of experiences that we can
share.
Welcome to the Villa del Tepoz Fuego,
Boutique Hotel, Restaurant and Spa, Posada, Bed & Breakfast, Hospedaje, no
matter what you call us we are an intimate, exclusive, five star state of the
art facility with personalized individual service for your vacation pleasure in

in the magnificent Tepoztlán valley surrounded by the Tepozteco Mountains
of the State of Morelos south west of Mexico City. This hotel in Tepoztlán
is a magical place with its special energy vortex, perfect year round temperatures,
and fresh mountain air. Tepoztlán is the perfect place to escape to for
the experience of a lifetime that feels like you have gone back fifty years in
time.
Find
out why our authentic Boutique Hotel in Tepoztlán has been rated as the
top Boutique Hotel, Posada, in the Tepoztlán area by travelers from all
over on the website Trip Advisor. Whether you know your way around Tepoztlán,
or just getting to know Tepoztlán, this hotel boutique serves as a great
place to call home during your stay.
A
message from the owners: 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 the Mexico City airport.
It has an ancient history and enjoys every climate available in Mexico. That was
six years ago and now we are no longer tourists but residents. We are the proud
owners of our boutique hotel we call 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
normal rooms and 4 suites, an open-air restaurant and bar, swimming pool and jacuzzi
and beautiful gardens surrounded by spectacular views of the surrounding beauty
of the Tepozteco Mountains. This peaceful magical location features its own stream
and two waterfalls.
Marci
and I traveled throughout Mexico in search of Mexican art and antiques with which
to furnish the rooms, each room with a different theme. For example, The Oaxaca
Suite, designed for 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 our other rooms like the Garden Suite features a jacuzzi
and separate shower, beautiful original Mexican paintings, and a first floor outdoor
private patio. 6 of our 7 sleeping 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 and stained-glass window scenes. We can boast some of the finest
massage therapists in the area.
All of our regular staff come from the Tepoztlán
area and feel like members of the family. We have slowly assembled and educated
them to our unique concept and offering for our special guests. All of them have
learned our high standards on cleanliness and international hygiene. In our Spa
and salon we enjoy offering our many services with a team of subcontractors who
are experts in their particular group of services they offer. In the other hotels
in the area they have a couple of practitioners who do all of their services and
they are not specialists.
Bruce, loves to play the piano so on request
we provide beautiful dinner music to our savory and delicious restaurant offerings.
We wanted to have an excellent offering of the best culinary experiences possible
here in Mexico for our guests and with practice and experience we are improving
all of the time. 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, Bruce, and Noe do most of the shopping
ona regular basis so that our guests have only organic fresh fruits and vegetables
when available. Guests can feast on fresh fish, shell fish, and the best cuts
of USDA beef and lamb. 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.
We
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 many domestic brands
of beer and lots of choices from our bar. We also carry a variety of imported
sparkling wines and champagne.
Marci and I have never lost our fascination
with Tepoztlán or the 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 mostly 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, 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.
What Marci and Bruce always like say
is our house is your house. "Nuestra casa es su casa."
