Casa de la Cuesta

This six-room bed and breakfast has something special – its own museum. The American couple who own and run it, the LaVasseurs, are collectors of ceremonial masks and folk art, and they’ve added an impressive small museum onto the back of the property, which is reached by climbing a dramatic stairway lined with similar striking masks. The bougainvillea- and fountain-capped courtyard is also home to wonderful folk art. Each of the six rooms is different, although all have fireplaces, and some have private terraces. It’s a short, easy walk down to town and taxi ride to and from costs only a few dollars. The full breakfasts are lavish, and fresh-baked cookies are set out most afternoons.
