The appealing Casa Encantada is a magnificent hotel built into a 17th-century mansion just off Pátzcuaro's main plaza. Rooms and suites—all with different configurations and appealing decor and furnishings—surround a courtyard with a garden and fountain. Though rented by the night, they're more like apartments than hotel rooms; most have kitchens and/or dining areas; a couple have fireplaces, and four have bathtubs.
Offering a great variety of activities for guests of all ages---from a sophisticated spa and elegant pool area to a game room, bike rentals, horseback riding, and a billiards room---this stylish resort built around a grand early 1600s hacienda makes a wonderful base for exploring the region. It's a short drive off the highway between Querétaro and CDMX, and not far from the area's popular wine country. Even if you don't spend the night, consider stopping on your way to or from Mexico City for a meal in the refined restaurant.
