About this property

Patty’s Stunning 2-Bdr Loft with Balcony in Historical Casco Viejo


###This is NOT an INSTANT BOOK property, please send us a little message to know more about who we will be hosting, composition of your party and what brings you here to us. VRBO no longer has written reviews but only star ratings...so a little info makes us more comfortable...thank you for your understanding.

Choosing a property with “Patty’s Casitas” means a well taken care home, responsive and dedicated hosts (who are also the owners) and the possibility of a full rounded experience with offering of airport transfers & tours.

Come and enjoy Panama by staying in this gem - best location - around the corner from “El Rey” supermarket…Casco’s only grocery store!

This is a very unique loft style property featuring 15 foot high ceilings, skylights, a large mezzanine bedroom with beautiful wooden floors & oversize custom made wardrobe with its bright en-suite bathroom, the bedroom overlooks the living-room.

The nice modern American kitchen offers a breakfast bar and opens onto the living/dining room that leads to a lovely balcony with views to a wide quiet street with colorful 'bougainvillea'.

It is a gorgeous apartment which benefits from all the colonial charm: iron work & Calicanto walls (original stone wall from the 17th Century) all around the condo with a great homey feeling.

The condo is fitted with high end amenities, a phone with free local calls and also the use of a cell phone during your stay.

LOCATION:

It is next to the famous “La Merced” Church which façade was transported stone by stone after the 1st city (Panama La Vieja) was destroyed…the building was actually the living quarters of the monks;-)

The condo is steps away from restaurants, bars & cafés, the famous Plaza Cathedral with the Museum of the canal & the up-coming Plaza Herrera which will soon host 2 boutique Hotels.

NEIGHBORHOOD:

Casco Viejo (also known as Casco Antiguo) is an effervescent neighborhood with its beautiful restored colonial buildings, home to the President Palace, the French Embassy & a gorgeous promenade with awesome views to the city's skyline & the Amador Causeway (entrance of the Panama Canal).

It also offers fine dining & entertainment with the National Theatre, great outdoor cafés for a nice drink on one of the charming plazas...an enjoyment by itself!

Its perfect location between down-town & Amador, a 5 to 10 Min’s taxi ride, makes it a conveniently central “pied-a-terre”!

Looking forward welcoming you, Patty & Rudy

*************************************

For your convenience we also offer airport transfers & tours and can welcome you in 5 languages: Spanish, English, French, Italian and German.

Please note that it is not recommended for people with knee injuries as there is no elevator.

P.S. we also have a studio in the same building & a 1 & 2-bedroom condo in Amador by the Causeway (entrance of the Panama Canal).

P.S.2 Pictures were taken by Rudy...no staging...and he is no professional photographer so this is what you get...no tricks!!!

Check-in was very friendly and personalized. Excellent location and the place provides many comforts and amenities. Wi-Fi access was no problem- we were able to stream the Red Sox game for example. Patty and Rudy are great hosts! The food in the area is fantastic and Casco has a really nice atmosphere for a stroll and a short distance by car to many things. Enjoyed the balcony too!

Best host in best location

We had the best time in Panama thanks to Patty and Rudy. They were the most gracious hosts. The condo is so clean and comfortable. The location is very convenient to walking to any type of restaurant you could want and there is a grocery store very close by too. We took several tours with Rudy and always felt safe and had a great time while learning so much about the panama history and culture. I highly recommend staying with Patty and booking all tours with Rudy. Thank you both so much for a wonderful time!

Absolutely Perfect Stay in Casco Viejo!I had an amazing stay at Patty’s beautiful two-bedroom loft in Casco Viejo, Panama. Everything was perfect from start to finish. Patty was incredibly welcoming upon our arrival — so much so that I couldn’t help but give her a hug! I felt like I already knew her from our friendly correspondence before the trip.The loft itself was spotless, stylish, and had everything you could possibly need — down to the Q-tips! It was so comfortable and truly felt like a home away from home for the week.Patty’s recommendations for restaurants and things to do were absolutely spot-on. We didn’t eat at the same place twice, and every meal in Casco Viejo was outstanding. We also felt completely safe, both in the loft and while exploring the neighborhood.If you stay with Patty, you must book your excursions with Rudy! He is one of the kindest, most knowledgeable people you’ll meet — a true gem. He took us on unforgettable adventures, including the Panama Canal and Monkey Island tour (so much fun!) and a fantastic trip to Portobelo and Isla Grande. It’s clear he’s deeply respected throughout Panama — everyone greeted him with smiles and handshakes wherever we went.Thank you, Patty and Rudy, for making our trip so memorable and special. I hope you’ll visit Florida someday so we can return the kindness. I would go back to this wonderful loft in a heartbeat!

Outstanding 3 days

We stayed at patttyscasitas for 3 nights. We. Were met at the airport by Rudy and transported to the condominium where Patty greeted. It was so easy and made the start of the trip extremely comfortable. After a quick trip to the grocery store that was literally around the corner, we were settled for our 3 night stay. From there, it got better. We could walk everywhere. We also booked a day trip of the Canal with Rudy through the connection with Patty. It too was outstanding. We are coming back to Panama in July and will be booking our stay with Patty.

Truly a home away from home. Location is perfect. Anywhere you want to go is a walk away while staying at Casco Viejo. The size of the home for 5 was perfect. The space is very well designed. Anything you may need is there. To have Rudy pick us up from airport was so helpful and anxiety free. Patty is super responsive, provides valuable information, and just a pleasure to communicate with. So grateful we found them! Don't hesitate to book with them and this house. A 5 star experience!

Book this place!!! It is exceptional and the host is incredible.

We booked Patty’s place for 2 nights in the Old City in Panama City, Panama. The property is ideally located for seeing this part of the City - close to everything you want. Patty (the host) has outfitted the unit for everything you could need/want for a short or a longer stay. The place is exceptionally clean, very well appointed, is safe & secure. Patty was very responsive prior to our check-in and during our stay. She had great recommendations on places to eat/etc. The next time I am in Panama City, I will definitely stay here!

About the host

Hosted by Patty & Rudy

Host profile image
We are an international couple (German/Belgium/Panamanian/Italian)who after living in many different countries decided to call Panama home. We enjoy good food, tennis, traveling & meeting people from all over the world…hence the choice of making hosting (degree in Hotel Management) and touring (licensed & rated on TripAdvisor) our business...you couldn’t be in better hands:-)

Let us show you our Panama by given you inside tips on our favorite restaurants & places not to miss…our priority is to make your Panama adventure an unforgettable one by providing top-notch, spotless accommodation in the most sought-after neighborhoods…and most importantly we are always available for any questions you might have during your stay.

Besides this property we also have a studio in the same building + a 1 bedroom condo in Amador by the Panama Canal & a gorgeous mountain Villa retreat with private swimming-pool & amazing views ***only 50 Minutes from the city***…a quiet Haven for those of you seeking total relaxation!

Hasta Pronto!!! Your hosts: Patty & Rudy

Why they chose this property

We originally bought this property for us to live in however since we had so much success renting our studio located on the same floor we decided to postpone our move until retirement and in the mean time have guests enjoy this wonderful space;-)

We love Casco Viejo – it is such a vibrant neighborhood and has some of the best restaurants in town...not to mention that it is fascinating to wonder about in its little colonial streets admiring the buildings' amazing architectures.
Its central location between the banking district (2 min’s drive) and the Amador Causeway (5 min’s drive) makes it a perfect vacation spot.
It offers lots of entertainments like the national Theater and all the different venues: the Jazz and Music festival. You’ll find a variety of little shops with beautiful Panamanian handcrafts and every Sunday the flea market.
Casco Viejo is a great walking neighborhood home to the Presidential Palace, the Mayor’s Office (in our street) and the French Embassy.

What makes this property unique

Great balcony with a view (not onto the neighboors!) and the double height ceilings with its original 'calicanto' walls!
