About this property

Tizol Historic Building: 8BR in Old San Juan

Welcome to Tizol Historic Building: 8BR in Old San Juan, a historic haven in Old San Juan!



Formerly home to Manuel Tizol Marquez, a luminary of the Puerto Rico Symphony Orchestra, this residence echoes with musical history. Manuel's nephew, the renowned Juan Tizol, drew inspiration here before joining Duke Ellington's band and composing classics like Caravan.



Our thoughtfully enhanced eight-bedroom retreat invites you to experience the fusion of rich heritage and modern comfort, boasting approximately 5,500 square feet of space. Discover an oasis within the city—a serene interior patio and meticulously designed spaces await large groups seeking an unforgettable stay.



Each of the eight bedrooms is equipped with air conditioning for your comfort, while the common areas reflect the charm of the original historic design and do not include AC.



Nestled amidst the vibrant streets of Old San Juan, our residence exudes the charm of a bygone era. Each bedroom, blending historical elegance with contemporary amenities, pays homage to the house's artistic legacy.



While embracing the charm of this historic building, it's important to note that its plumbing is sensitive. We kindly ask guests not to throw anything down the drains or use excessive amounts of paper at once to ensure the smooth functioning of the system.



The sprawling layout provides ample room for gatherings and shared moments, while the fully equipped kitchen beckons culinary adventures. Step outside to explore the enchanting surroundings, where historical landmarks, local shops, and exquisite restaurants await your discovery.



Come, immerse yourself in the melodies of the past and the vibrant rhythm of present-day Old San Juan. Let Tizol's Vintage Villa: Historic 8BR in Old San Juan be your gateway to an unforgettable Puerto Rican experience—a harmonious blend of history, culture, and comfort. We eagerly await the opportunity to share the magic and heritage of Old San Juan with you.



We're excited to host you and ensure you have an amazing time embracing everything that makes Puerto Rico special! Please keep in mind that Puerto Rico is an island that sometimes experiences water and electricity outages. The vibrant atmosphere of Puerto Rico means street noise is part of the experience. If you're a light sleeper, consider bringing earplugs. Additionally, while we do our best to keep critters away, the tropical weather here means they can be a bit persistent. There are seasonal bugs that are attracted to light, so we advise turning off the lights to encourage them to move away.



We’re really looking forward to hosting you and ensuring you have a memorable and magical stay!

Family time in Old San Juan

Very impressed with the service at this property! We had a couple of non-flushing toilets but otherwise a wonderful experience all around. Marcos, the property manager, was fantastic and gave us all kinds of great suggestions on places to go, restaurants, etc. Highly recommend!

Awesome location and amazing place

This place was truly great. Amazing location in the center of Old San Juan. Easily walkable to all kinds of things... the fort, restaurants, bars, pharmacies, and more. The place itself was really great. Brand new modern appliances and icy cold AC in the bedrooms. All the beds were very comfortable. I highly recommend this place!

3 generations for Christmas holiday

The property was a splurge but we wanted to be in the heart of Old San Juan. It was old and beautifully restored, central and really comfortable for coming and going and for relaxing on site in a group or in twos or threes. Communication was good when finally established but the many platforms for communication were confusing to the elders so it was bumpy at first. Lovely property!!
