Anticavilla Hotel
Colonial hacienda meets Italian modernism. Art-forward, romantic, and quietly indulgent. The vibe is dolce vita in the Mexican highlands.
The Aligi Sassú junior suite has the best garden-and-pool views on the property — worth requesting specifically.
Why It Matters
Architect Bernardo Gómez Pimienta's modernist interventions — especially the dramatic open-air restaurant under a 25-meter concrete canopy — turned a crumbling convent into one of Mexico's most architecturally interesting boutique hotels. Every room is a distinct art installation.
A former 17th-century colonial manor house — later a Jesuit convent — completely reimagined by modernist architect Bernardo Gómez Pimienta. The old and new collide in genuinely surprising ways: ancient stone and carved columns sit alongside soaring concrete canopies, Perspex furniture, and walls dominated by full-scale reproductions of 20th-century Italian masters. All 16 suites are named for Italian painters, from Modigliani to Balla to De Chirico. Adults-only (12+).
Where You'll Stay
16 room types available
Deluxe Suite Carrá
Opens to a large private patio surrounded by vegetation — good for friends or family who want breakfast outside. The Carrá painting is one of the standouts in the collection.
Deluxe Suite Chia
Thoughtful luxury details throughout. Works equally well for a romantic weekend or a business stay — a rare combination. Clean lines and carefully curated finishing.
Deluxe Suite Consadori
The smallest suite on the property but far from basic. A painting of the Venice lagoon sits beside the bed. Private terrace included — good for a quiet celebration for two.
Deluxe Suite De Maria
Two king beds, which makes it the rare room at this adults-only property that works for friends or siblings traveling together. All the same Anticavilla finishes.
Two king beds
Deluxe Suite Modigliani
Modigliani's 'Il Nudo' dominates one wall. The pillow menu is a real thing here — you pick from multiple options before bed. A well-travelled guest will appreciate the thoughtfulness.
Deluxe Suite Paladino
Colonial architecture meets contemporary design. The Paladino artwork gives the room a Mexican-Italian fusion feel. Marble floors, walls, and bathroom throughout.
Junior Suite Aligi Sassú
The best view on the property — garden and pool both visible from the room. Venetian mosaic headboard and matching bathroom mosaic make this one genuinely special.
Junior Suite Clemente
Marble walls and an inspiring artwork facing the bed. Private patio for breakfast or dinner. Cozy without feeling cramped.
Junior Suite De Pisis
Sliding glass doors open directly into a private garden. Luxury, privacy, and exclusivity all packed in. A strong option for a solo traveler who wants space.
Junior Suite Dottori
Colonial and contemporary in dialogue. Marble floors, walls, and luxury bathroom. The Dottori painting anchors the room's identity.
Junior Suite Guttuso
Larger than the Deluxe category and opens into a sitting area overlooking the garden and private patio. Light gray marble throughout creates a bright, modern feel.
Junior Suite Severini
One of the most requested rooms. The private patio surrounded by greenery is set up for romantic dinners or just a lazy afternoon with a book.
Master Suite Balla
The full set: sweeping arch, Venetian mosaics in the bathroom, a zen garden, a fireplace positioned in front of the soaking tub. The kind of room you don't leave unless you have to.
Master Suite Cascella
Hydromassage tub takes centre stage. The blend of colonial and contemporary is at its most polished here. Strong pick for an anniversary or special occasion.
Master Suite De Chirico
Chromotherapy and bubble tub, plus a fireplace that actually transforms the room at night. One of the most romantic rooms on the property — full stop.
Presidential Suite Depero
The biggest and most elaborate suite on the property, inspired by Fortunato Depero. Private terrace with sun loungers, umbrella, bubble jacuzzi with chromotherapy, volcanic stone fireplace, and a proper dining room. Can be connected to Junior Suite Guttuso for a multi-room arrangement.
