A cobble stoned promenade, lined with statuesque Royal Palms leads to this magnificent hacienda. Originally constructed in 1529 under the orders of Hernan Cortes, it was a Franciscan monastery in colonial times and later a sugar plantation, ultimately becoming the largest of its kind in Mexico during the war of Independence. It was the scenario from which legends were written in the times of the Mexican Revolution when Emiliano Zapata made the hacienda his main headquarters.
Located just 20 minutes from charming Cuernavaca, the hacienda is also near beautiful natural sites such as the caves of Cacahuamilpa and the rapids of the Amacuzac River.
The stone walls that support immense barrel vaults have been meticulously restored over the years lending an exotic ambience to rooms and public areas. Each distinctive and elegant guestroom offers views of different areas of the hacienda.
