Mexico: casa, sweet casa

Casa Felipe Flores, 36 Calle Dr. J.F. Flores 36, San Cristobal de Las Casas, 29230 Chiapas; 011-52-967-678-3996, www.felipeflores.com. “We had the good fortune to stay in Casa Felipe Flores on our recent trip to San Cristobal, and we recommend it highly. The house is wonderful, a traditional Spanish home with a lovely interior courtyard, and the rooms are large, beautifully furnished, each with a modern and spacious bath. The best parts of the experience, however, are the owners and hosts, Nancy and David Orr. Charming, intelligent and knowledgeable, they make you feel like family. San Cristobal is a wonderful city to visit too, and Nancy and David help you make the most of your stay.” Doubles, with bath and fireplace, $80-$95.
