About this property
Live Your Best Life In An Actual Palace
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live in a palace? Ours is a romantic 200-year-old architectural wonder built for one of San Juan's earliest rum barons and remains one of the most beautiful properties in the old city. It features soaring, 18-foot ceilings, cathedral-style acoustics, marble floors and Moroccan tiles. You'll be surrounded by simple beauty, shower in a gigantic Roman spa, cook in an inspirational kitchen and listen to the coqui frogs in your private courtyard.

About the host
Hosted by Jon Vidar

Hi everyone! I'm an avid traveler and AirBnB guest, as well as host. I have two main AirBnB properties in Puerto Rico: 1) A 200 year old rum baron's mansion in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico with both shared space and full apartment options; 2) A wellness retreat in the mountains of Utuado. I live full time in Puerto Rico and I love to host and show people my island!
