Villa Las Margaritas

Yesterday morning I had breakfast at the Villa Las Margaritas with four other gringos in celebration of the seventy some birthday of Dorothy, a hard boiled Texan expatriate who has resided in Mexico for many years and who evokes in me thoughts of Ann Richards and Molly Ivins.

The breakfast was very good, but the colonial mansion in which the hotel and restaurant is housed, at the corner of Lucio and Carillo, is truly astounding.

The restaurant is located in a two-story interior courtyard/atrium, with hotel rooms surrounding on both the lower and upper levels.

The second floor balcony which provides access to rooms, and is accessed by the sweeping staircase shown above, is supported by thick, artfully done columns which extend to arches (I think they would be considered Roman arches) which support the roof structure.

If you’re in Xalapa try out the Villa Las Margaritas. Though not offered yesterday, due to technical difficulties, there is normally a Sunday brunch.

It is really a wonderfully beautiful place with good food and service. A room can be had for as little as $700. pesos per night.
