About this property

VILLA ROMANTICA. A TRUE COLONIAL MASTERPIECE. NEAR TO RESTAURANTS AND MUSEUMS

Villa Romantica, a spacious, bright, airy, colonial-era peaceful home in bustling historic Merida Centro. Elegant and welcoming, Villa Romantica embraces you as you enter and delights you throughout your stay. 18 Foot Ceilings with 20 inch thick walls keeps the house cool. Gorgeous custom-made four poster beds in all of the three large air-conditioned bedrooms. Quality linen. Each bedroom has it's own private bathroom. . Villa Romantica is the perfect home to make your vacation a splendid one.

The Space
The entire home is yours during your stay.
What unfolds before you is truly a colonial masterpiece. Complete with high arches that envelop a stunning central courtyard which you may never want to leave. At the heart of the courtyard is the beautiful pool which is irresistible on a warm tropical day.

The line between indoors and outdoors is blurred in this spectacularly designed home. This home is a creation of renowned local architect Henry Ponce and features an indoor/outdoor kitchen and dining room as well as a spacious indoor/outdoor living room that surrounds the courtyard and pool.

On the ground floor there are two spacious air conditioned bedrooms, each with their own private bathroom for your privacy and comfort. Each bedroom has a four poster king sized bed. Also on the ground floor is a formal living room where you can watch Netflix TV in air conditioned comfort.

Leading from the indoor/outdoor living room is the grand staircase which is itself a work of art. At the top of the staircase is the master suite which overlooks the courtyard. This air-conditioned bedroom has 2 queen sized beds and has it's own private bathroom with a beautiful atrium. Also on the upper level is a huge rooftop deck with a view of the city. Ideal place for your morning coffee or getting some more sun.

When night falls you will be faced with a tough decision. Do you go up the stairs and enjoy the starry night sky and listen to the sounds of the city including the clip clop, clippity clop of horse drawn carriages? Or maybe simply relax on the day bed besides the pool next to the downstairs courtyard and enjoy the incredible ambiance created by the lighting and fountains in the pool. Lounging in the two hammocks over the pool means the pool is just below and the stars are way above. A perfect relaxation spot!
We provide unlimited music selection with Alexa so if you're in the mood for some music, simply ask Alexa to play your favourite songs.

The neighborhood

!!LOCATION**LOCATION**LOCATION!!
You won't find a better more convenient location than Villa Romantica. It is ideally located in the Historical Centre of Mérida. Should you be able to tear yourself away from your private retreat, you'll find the best that Merida has to offer just steps away. Santa Lucia Park with some of the best restaurants is just a five minute walk .
Paseo De Montejo, the wide boulevard lined by mansions built in the 19th century is only a three minute walk. From here, you can take a tour of Paseo on a horse and carriage.
The Plaza Grande, the heart of Merida culture and architecture is less than a ten minute walk. It is the home of the impressive, large and beautiful Catedral de San Ildefonso.

Getting around

Taxis are safe, Uber is very affordable and currently operates in Merida and is very reliable. A public bus stops on the nearest corner. Ask the property manager what bus to take to where. Most popular on-line street map apps such as google are also very reliable.
Street parking is available and depending on the time of day may get a spot directly in front of the house. There is also a paid parking lot a block away.

Impeccable
The property is every bit as stunning as the photos suggest, furnished with everything a guest could need. Every detail has clearly been well considered for both aesthetics and ease of use. Beyond that, the level of support we received from Natalie from well before check-in to after we were on our way was extraordinary. Super host, super concierge doesn't begin to describe it -- the best host experience I've experienced from a vacation rental by far. Booking Alejandro for day trips to Celestun and to Izamal were also highlights. Truly a great experience.

An Oasis of Cool Calm in the City
I can't say enough positive about Villa Romantica. We have rented properties all over the world, but will never forget this oasis of cool calm near the very center of Merida. We were wowed by the online pictures, but they don't quite do justice to the scale of the place--it's huge! After hot days climbing Mayan ruins, it was the perfect place to come home to. Merida is a dense, busy city--but step through the door of Villa Romantica and you instantly relax. Nothing was missing--kitchen well equipped, beds comfy, A/C well-functioning. Natalie was responsive and eager to make sure we were happy. Don't hesitate--book this property!

Wow wow wow
This home is just incredible. So beautiful and so comfortable. The owners went above and beyond in welcoming us and providing tips for things to do with our young kids. The location is extremely walkable. The pool was too chilly for me in December but my kids had no problem. Really an incredible oasis and plenty of space for larger families or groups traveling together. Highly recommend!
