Villa Montana's forty rooms and suites are nestled on the slopes of the Santa Maria hills, overlooking the colonial spires of Morelia.

Amidst a profusion of jacaranda, bougainvillea, orchids and ivy, the unique cottage-style accommodations are lavishly furnished with antiques, log fireplaces and beamed ceilings.

Every window has a picture-postcard outlook over the exquisite gardened terraces and many have stunning views down the hillside to the city.

Because each room is so different it's difficult to specify the typical features of a standard room, junior suite or master suite - usually the distinction lies in the size of the accommodations rather than the number of rooms.

Standard amenities in each room or suite include a wood burning fireplace, satellite television, safety deposit box and direct dial telephone.

Bathrooms are all equipped with hairdryers and extension telephones.
