What a brilliant time we had at both the Haciendas...basically we had the wedding (and week) of our dreams...it was PERFECT! Honestly, our guests (from Australia & UK) were speechless and have had the most incredible & memorable experience. The swimming pools, tennis court and hammocks were always in use and the food and service of the staff was brillaint. The owner, Pattie Hogan is ...The hostess with the most ..tesst and very helpful!!! I hope everyone gets to experience this magical, Mexican paradise in Tepoztlan.

4th Visit

Our first visit here was in 2004, and in April of 2011 we visited Hacienda Clemente Jacques for the 4th time, and we enjoyed it more than ever. In the past we have used the smaller Villa next door as there has only been a few of us, but as our families were visiting this time we rented the larger Hacienda. The pool is larger in the Hacienda which was great as there were 9 of us, and the children loved it. Both are such great places for spending time with friends and family, and to sit around one of the numerous dining areas after cooking dinner on the large gas powered grill, is the perfect way to finish the day. The location seems quite remote, but it's very easy to get to so you are guaranteed the privacy you want. The staff are always at hand if you need them, but will leave you be if you so desire. We love what this place has to offer, the comfort, the facilities (wi-fi / music / tv if you really have to), the views are amazing, and decor makes you feel that you are anywhere else but the short hour or so journey from Mexico City. It really is a great retreat and we continue to visit as and when we can and as often as possible. Pattie, the owner, is reliable and trust worthy and makes sure that the properties are in tip-top order for your arrival. We will continue to visit this little paradise as often as possible, and would highly recommend it to anyone else.

This came from one of our favorite guests after she graciously put it into the Newcomer's recommendations. I´d like to highly recommend one of the loveliest and easiest escapes I have found in Mexico. If you and your friends want to get out of the city and experience a peaceful and memorable Mexican vacation only an hour and a half away, think about the magestic mountains in Tepotzlan. Check out the Hacienda Clemente Jacques at this website: www.tepoztlan-vacation-rentals.com I have been to this beautiful hacienda every chance I get and spent the weekend there celebrating my daughter´s birthday with her friends. I can tell you the place is magical and I always come home refreshed and thankful.

Hacienda Clemente Jacques

My recent stay at Hacienda Clemente Jacques in Tepoztlan was wonderful. The scenery and beautiful mountain vistas are just incredible. Tepotzlan is a new part of Mexico to me but I must say a most beautiful area. The magnificent mountains wherever one looks are just fabulous. We stayed for 1 week and had the tower room which also afforded us the beautiful mountain views right outside our windows! One thing I enjoyed was the many secluded and intimate seating areas throughout the property, all of which afforded one incredible views, or just a really peaceful place to sit and read or watch the hawks soar and float around the mountains. The pool area was especially beautiful and also afforded wonderful views from the seating area! The staff were all very helpful, friendly and very interested in all the guests comforts. Breakfast each morning on the patio was very nice. To sit out doors and have breakfast on the beautiful patio with the fresh air and all the birds was very special. The yoga class, also held out side on the patio was delightful as well. I also had an incredible massage while there, if time permits on your stay, take advantage of the massage service. Well worth it! The village of Tepoztlan was a short taxi ride away and very pleasant to walk around and explore. Some interesting and very good restaurants and very friendly people. Also a very clean town with lots of nice shops to wander through as was the market place and the wonderful 16th century Cathedral and grounds. We also took advantage of the hiking in the area and took a day hike from the village of Tepoztlan up the mountain side to the ruined pyramid. What a climb! A hard climb through the trees and up the side of the mountain but so worth the effort once the mountain top was reached. The views were just spectacular on the clear day we climbed. The trail is called the trail of 1000 steps, yes steps, in consists of at least 1000 rough stone steps going up the side of the mountain through the trees and follows a stream all the way. There are however many places along the climb to sit and rest and enjoy the tree tops and birds. Well worth the effort, although rough on the legs. All in all a great, restful and peaceful stay at a beautiful hacienbda. We hope to return someday and will certainly tell our friends about this wonderful place in Tepoztlan!

Spring Break for Dan, Carrie, Letie and Maddie

A piece of paradise! The stay was utterly relaxing and Pattie and her staff couldn't have been more thoughtful and gracious. We were there over Easter and even got to enjoy a service with some of the most beautiful music ever at Pattie's church. The massages were wonderful. The meals that Teresa and Ley made were awesome and Felipe is the best at the grill EVER. The whole house is kept immaculately by Frankie. If your idea of vacation is to catch great sun, a couple massages, great meals and some excellent shopping, this is the vacation for you! Plus there is no setting more beautiful than waking up to the mountains. Stay here, you'll never regret it!

A few very relaxing days on a beautiful hacienda

We had a very nice time on the Hacienda Clemente Jacques!! Even though our group was big and we changed our bookings a few times everything went very smooth and both the owner and the stuff were very nice, flexible, helpful and welcoming. They also promptly met our special wishes (like e.g. a baby bed). The food they prepared was just delicious! And the hacienda with all its facilities (pool, tennis court, various places to eat, sit and relax) is just beautiful. We all enjoyed our stay very much and felt so much home that leaving after 3 days was difficult. Thanks to everyone!

Better than we could have imagined!

Our jaws dropped the moment we rolled through the gates and first glimpsed the estate and we never quite recovered. The Hacienda is absolutely luxurious. Breakfast in the courtyard, midday on the tennis courts, afternoon in the pool, and dinner in the dining hall. What a life! The grounds are spectacular and the surrounding vistas stunning. The staff was incredibly responsive and friendly. The picturesque town of Tepoztlan is a short drive away and hosts one of the most charming markets we came across during our entire Mexican vacation. We can't recommend it strongly enough. Book it today. You will not regret it.

RELAXING, FUN, INTERESTING, FLEXIBLE, LOW KEY BUT A LUXURIOUS FEEL

Guest: xxx24xxx (Mexico City)
Date of Stay: 02/05/10 Review Submitted: 03/26/10

Set in the hills just outside of the magic town of Tepoztlan, this is a place where you can have it all. Stay on the premises the whole time and enjoy the pool, extensive grounds, a running trail, beautiful views and really everything one would want to relax and be at peace. But an adventure beyond the grounds can be an exciting experience. A visit during religous festival times like Carnival, Easter and Day of the Dead can provide fascinating experience as the local people celebrate their native dances and other festivities including impressive fire works displays. A trip to the silver town of Taxco or the city of eternal Spring, Cuernavaca is always a great experience. There is archaeology, Xochicalco being the most important nearby site as well as caves to visit, thermal waters in Cuautla, just plenty to do or just do nothing but enjoy. The facilities, meals and all the services are top notch with attention to all the details. The friendly and knowledgeable staff is ready to help at all times. High recommendable. Transportation can be arranged for most occasions if there is no car.

Beautiful Hacienda

My whole family stayed here for the Christmas holidays and really enjoyed it. The service was fabulous, the weather just perfect and the place is gorgeous. The only downside to it is that it is a little far from Tepoztlan, the town, so you have to drive if you want to go there. Other than that, we really enjoyed our stay. Thank you Patricia and team for making us feel like home!

Owner response:Our guest is correct; we are two miles from the central plaza of Tepoztlan, but its as if we were a million miles away because it's so much quieter where we are than staying in town. We have a local bus that stops at our front gate every 15 minutes and for 6 pesos will take you to the main square. Taxis back (or to) are less than $5 US. I frequently go in on the VW bus and come back with purchases in a taxi.
