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!!!

Fabulous apartment and hosts

The apartment was perfect for our family of 4. We loved having a place to hang, cook, take a quick nap. The apartment was extremely clean and had every amenity you would need. The beds were comfortable. Also Patty and Her husband were wonderful. Extremely helpful, prompt, etc. Highly recommend.

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.

The BEST!

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! Thank you

Suite VERY well stocked with kitchen and bathroom essentials. Location was quiet and perfect! Conveniences, ATM, shops, coffee, wide choice of restaurants all near. We always felt safe.Two sets of stairs to climb with well functioning A/C as your reward! The suite and building is historic and beautiful. Start your stay with a walking tour with Rudy for a great lay of the land. We did 3 different tours with him and he was an awesome guide. Very knowledgeable. Communication with Patty was excellent and responses very prompt from first enquiry to after departure. She will organize or even customize your tours and airport transfers. Patty and Rudy provide stellar accommodation and service so you can relax and enjoy your time in Panama City!

Fantastic place to explore Casco Viejo

Patty and Rudy were the finest hosts! We arranged for Rudy to pick us up and he was there waiting for us as promised. The apartment is spacious and beautifully decorated. Patty and Rudy were always available to answer questions or make recommendations. We booked several tours with Rudy and it was reassuring to have a native speaker help us out. On the Embera Village tour, many of the tribe members knew Rudy by name. He translated for us and gave us a great feel for their village, people and customs. We cannot recommend them ENOUGH! Fantastic experience!

Casco Viejo

Everything was as advertised. Rudy and Patty couldn’t have been better hosts with responding immediately to requests for information, having a fully appointed apartment with every need fulfilled and decorated with local art. Beds were comfortable and apartment was fairly quiet ( except for church bells). Location was perfect. As our tour guide Rudy was informative and very helpful.

Central to dining and shopping with the ability to cook at home! 😊 Patty was so gracious and answered all the questions and need to knows.

Great central location

Our family of four stayed here for a week. Our family consists of my husband, two daughters ages 9 & 12, and myself. We all had the best experience at Patty and Rudy’s place. They were welcoming from the moment we met them. They assisted with our luggage and gave us a tour and oriented us to the house. The house was very clean and we all felt at home right away. The location was perfect for walking to restaurants, shops and the market. Ubers were always available for trips further away. I would highly recommend this vacation rental for your next family getaway. Thank you Patty and Rudy for making our vacation even more perfect!

Excellent location and hospitality!

We could not have asked for a better stay! The property was very clean, comfortable, well decorated and in excellent condition. Located in the heart of Casca Viejo, we were able to walk to restaurants and attractions in a safe neighborhood. Patty and Rudy were great hosts who I could easily communicate with before and during our stay. They answered all of our questions quickly and provided great tour options. Super friendly couple who are very knowledgeable about the city. Nice benefit that they also have a tourism business! Skip the big Panama City hotels and opt for a better location and personalized service in the old town of Panama. Let Rudy and Patty plan your stay and tours, well worth it! Great culture, architecture and cuisine. One of the best vacation rentals we have experienced!

SPECTACULAR Property

I've been staying in VRBO's for 14years around the world and this was by far the best property. Patty and Rudy are amazing. Helpful, make sure you have everything you need. I feel like I have new friends in Panama now. It's on a quiet street with grocery around the corner. Can walk all around Casco Viejo, very safe. The owners include so many little touches that really make for a great experience like coffee, OJ, creamer. We took a tour with Rudy and was a great experience. He went out of his way to inquire about golf courses to recommend. Overall, a great experience and will absolutely stay here again.

Couldn’t be Happier

We all were thrilled with details of this unit, clearly consideration was given to stocked items for guests. They even had extra new toothbrushes & paste if needed. Stores 3- minute walk from door, restaurants & rooftop bars, basically perfect location. But what puts this over the top is the hosts Patty & Ruddy great English very multilingual and there for whatever you may need. We can’t recommend enough booking tours with Rudy enough. Informative patient great guide whom also took care of transfer back to airport at an awful hour with a smile. I would give them more than 5-stars if we could, above and beyond expectations.

Every aspect of this property was excellent. The apartment is beautiful, comfortable, very clean, meticulously organized, and in a perfect location. Every detail has been thought of and provided throughout the apartment, which made us feel at home from the first minute. We really appreciate all the timely communication with Patty.

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!
