Eco friendly

Your carbon footprint is light in Casa Dora.

We treat and recycle all water for our gardens. We use biodigestors. We use ecological lights. The spaces have been designed for maximum airflow. All spaces use natural materials wherever possible: adobe, palm-thatch, wood, clay tiles.

Our Neighborhood

We live down an authentic Mexican village alley with families and children. It is a footpath with no cars. We are toward the end of the alley so cars from the main street cannot be heard. You will hear neighbors as everyone lives outside. Neighbors are close by. You will hear neighbors’ music, children playing and the ocean. Movements in the neighborhood can start as early as 7. If you are looking to sleep in later than 8, this is not the space for you.

The popularity of the area continues to draw people to live here. For this reason, there is construction in all of San Agustinillo.
