A fantasy villa buried in the wooded hills about 30 minutes outside of the city center, Casa Raab is ideal for traveling groups. You can rent rooms in the main house, or take over a casita that's perfect for a family of four. Hiking trails surround the house, which has breathtaking views of the mountains. You'll feel part of the family as you eat meals together in the dining room. Owner Tony Raab produces his own artisanal mezcal, grows his own agave plants, and helps to organize excursions. Otherwise, you'll need a rental car to get into and out of town. Pros: Convenient base for excursions into the valley, friendly host, great for families. Cons: Far from city center, no meals on Sunday, not great option for single travelers.
