La Nuestra is a cozy guest house hosted by two American women who have adopted Cuernavaca  as their home.

They have studied at several of the language schools and  have lived the immersion experience. The owners of La Nuestra understand the needs of those who prefer a Bed and Breakfast experience, rather than living with a family.

Since the 1960s, students of all ages have made Cuernavaca their destination for one of the multitude of Spanish language schools. These schools  emphasize a total immersion study creating a cottage industry of hospitality. Hundreds of students spend one week to six months studying Spanish in a school setting during the day while living with Mexican families at night. Hundreds more, however, want the experience of studying and living in Mexico but prefer more privacy and more freedom. They are looking for a home away from home, foreign but more akin to home – a place like our place – La Nuestra. 

La Nuestra has four tastefully decorated rooms, each with a private bath. There is a lovely garden, a terrace and pool for your enjoyment. Breakfast is served each morning outside under a covered terrace. The breakfast area is supplied with a microwave and small refrigerator stocked with a variety of beverages.

Both English and Spanish are spoken at La Nuestra. This allows for easy communications for all skill levels and also provides an opportunity for everyone to learn from each other. 

Cuernavaca is the perfect respite between tours around central Mexico. With Cuernavaca as a home base a visitor can take several day trips to the various archaeological sites, hacienda hotels and spas, all within a days drive. A typical day begins with breakfast at La Nuestra; travel to Taxco for some extraordinary shopping; “comida” (lunch) at a hacienda hotel and return to La Nuestra for a sound, comfortable rest. 

If the beach beckons you, Acapulco is a perfect overnight destination. Hotel rooms can be arranged by a travel agency in Cuernavaca. 

Most of all, La Nuestra offers you a serene and private environment in which to study, rest, swim and move freely through the city of eternal spring as you enjoy your “Mexican Adventure”.
