Casa Alondra — Hotel in Michoacán

My husband and I just spent five nights at Casa Alondra and would have eagerly stayed several more if only we’d made reservations earlier (the hotel has just 6 rooms). We were greeted by the manager Deri, whose genuine warmth and good humor set the tone for our stay. Deri showed us to our airy and spacious Colonial room with an insanely comfy bed and luxe bathroom. Our room opened onto Diega, the hotel’s restaurant set among olive trees and a gurgling fountain.||During our stay, Michele at the front desk answered endless questions about her city, and like any gifted ambassador, she shared her love of her hometown so generously that I felt as if I truly belonged there. Michele’s awesome colleague Yatzel also offered countless tips and guidance, and as a university student, she provided all kinds of insight into the mysteries of student life in this great university town. ||On our first evening, we were treated to the yummiest welcome ever, a chocolate mousse created by Chef Dan Corona for the hotel restaurant Diega, which warrants its own 5 star review. We foolishly dined at the restaurant only once, on our last night—so be smarter than us and don’t wait! Chef Corona’s interpretation of traditional cuisine, especially his take on Tarascan bisque, was inspired and utterly irresistible. I should have known from the complimentary chocolate mousse—on our first night—to hightail it to Diega, but we were out and about so much that I didn’t take sufficient advantage of what was right in front of me. I know better for the next time, and there will be plenty of those. Casa Alondra is a gem, and one I’ll return to whenever I...

Casa Alondra is an absolute gem! We stayed two nights in room #1 and were delighted with every aspect of our stay. We had a genuinely warm reception by the lovely Yenzel (apologies for spelling!). When we explained we had an early start the following morning, she actually came into work early to make us coffee to go! Her kindness and initiative astounded us. Our suite was positively beautiful! The copper bathtub was especially appreciated after visiting the copper town of Santa Clara earlier that day. The bed was so comfortable -definitely not the backbreaking hardness of other mattresses throughout Mexico! The room was furnished with luxurious bedding and amenities including adequate and convenient arrangements for charging all the electronics. We normally choose to dine at local establishments in town. However, after wandering the city, we elected to have dinner at Diego. What a wise decision! The manager, Deri, was training a new waiter and we were so impressed with his hospitality. He is a true professional and so genuine in his graciousness. Our dinner was delicious! So good, in fact, that we never considered eating anywhere else the second night. Manuel was our waiter the second night. The owner is obviously focused on bringing the cream of the crop to his hotel. We were so impressed with every staff member we encountered. From the reception, wait staff, manager and chef, this a first class operation. We would...
