About this property
CASA LOLA - Bohemian Colonial in Centro with private pool and AC throughout.
This historic home with high ceilings is approximately 1900 sq feet all on one level. No need for a car as you are right in Centro and just steps from restaurants, and a few blocks from the Main Square called the Plaza Grande. You are within walking distance to so many parks and amazing historical architectural sites. A few short blocks away is Santiago Parque where you can enjoy Big Band music and dancing on Tuesday evenings, or just around the other corner is Parque Santa Lucia with fabulous local cuisine. A few short blocks to the English Library for their home tours, and comraderie. A quick walk to Paseo de Montejo as well to enjoy the vendors, and splendor of the mansions of Merida.
We now have powerful Air conditioning in the Living area of the home, as well as both bedrooms. There are fans throughout the home and patio as well. You will stay cool. The AC in the living area is a new 2025 feature.
Enjoy the Queen bed 2 bedroom/2 bathroom home with private pool, and covered patio. Two master suites - Both bedrooms are air conditioned, and ceiling fans are throughout the house. High Speed Internet and wifi extender for the patio, and cable TV are provided. The pool is night lit for a romantic dip in the evening, or to sit on the ledge and enjoy a glass of wine. Truly an amazing location in a safe neighbourhood.
The front doors have glass enclosures to help with any street noise although once you step inside, you will find a peaceful oasis, surprisingly quiet for being in the heart of the city. You will find the neighbourhood safe and peaceful - no loud bars near by - although we do have Dzaltbay Cantina, and Negrita Cantina for music nights within walking distance. There are local restaurants - Indian, Sicilian, Italian, and delicious Pola ice cream just around the corners. There is a local school with the children taught by nuns, and sometimes you may hear the sounds of the little children singing songs - truly charming. There is a parking lot close by for those wanting secure parking if you are renting a car although you don't need a car for this location - everything is close. Walking distance to Paseo de Montejo. The bus to Progresso is just up the next street if you need a day at the beach. - Busline is AutoProgresso - about 27 pesos at this time.
The kitchen is totally set up for cooks, and there are 3 places to dine. Enjoy the outdoor patio with full dining for up to 8, or the inside dining room set up for 4, or just sit and have your breakfast at the wrought iron stools in the heart of the kitchen. All of the dishes, and cutlery, glassware etc are there, and you will find all you need to make some great meals if you feel so inclined. The bedrooms are separate from one another so that you can enjoy the utmost privacy. The bedroom in the back of the home which is the Spanish room looks out onto the pool and patio, and its attached bathroom can be accessed from the bedroom or from the patio for your guests. The other bedroom, the Moroccan room is close to the kitchen and living area. All have lots of linens, and the showers are walk in. There are lots of hooks to hang your clothes as well as closets in both bedrooms.
Casa Lola is a comfortable oasis in the vibrant city of Merida. Our elegant home has numerous antiques and vintage curios from around the globe as well as amenities like high speed internet and cable tv with English chanels to make your stay comfortable and convenient. You will love Casa Lola. The house is close to numerous restaurants, like Apoala and Amaro, and the Gastronomic row of restaurants on Calle 49 just to name a few, and within 2 minutes walk, you can find wonderful Yucatecan, Thai and Italian food. Take a cooking class with International chefs and learn how to make the wonderful food. The shops are amazing and you'll delight in finding lots of wonderful treasures. The most wonderful thing, other than the architecture of Merida, is the people. It is like going back in time in Merida, with warm wonderful friendly people in a safe incredible city, and yet its very sophisticated. SO much to explore in the Yucatan, and Merida is a wonderful base to do that. We fell in love with Merida and you will too.
Please note that most vacation rental homes in Merida often charge extra for electricity to cover the use of the Air Conditioning. The reason is that excessive use can bump the electric bill up to a high charge rate where it remains for months. We do have a pre-occupation with energy consumption, and we are trying to do our part, while at the same time, being fair to our guests. You will not be charged for the 1st - 25 kw of electricity useage per day on average (based on the length of your stay) Excess consumption of over 25 kw per day average based on your length of stay, will be charged and paid by the guest at a rate of 4mxn/kw. The meter will be read on your check-in, and then again on your check-out, and the property management team will collect the electricity overcharge in pesos should there be one. The charge is also to deter guests from switching the air conditioning on day and night when they are out of the house. Please turn off the AC when you leave the house. This is very much appreciated, and in doing this, you may have 'free' electrical up to 25kw per day which is average usage. We do hate to charge anything, but knowing how the energy usage can increase the electrical charge, we feel this is the fairest way for everyone, and helps us do our part.
Take an Uber to Soriana, Walmart, Super Aki, or Chedraui for groceries, or just walk to Santiago parque to the market for fresh veggies. You can pick up coffee and snacks etc at the local Santiago Super Aki as well.
Please enjoy our home. We do have a small library of books, and some games and a Smart TV for those rainy days. We do include cleaning 1x per week, and also a gardener, and a pool cleaning 1x per week.
Enjoy Merida, and Casa Lola.

About the host
Hosted by Janis Marchment
We are a Canadian couple, and new owners in Merida. We have a hobby farm in Langley, BC Canada and have 2 dogs - Logan and Chester, the 7 lb mighty guard dog, cats, some Rocky Mountain horses (Hollywood and Celebrity) and 2 llamas - Oprah and Harmony, and a peacock named Ravi junior. We fell in love with Merida and all it has to offer, and purchased a home that we can enjoy for only a small part of the year. For that reason, we chose to have others enjoy our gorgeous historic home the remainder of the year.
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with Merida and knew we had to be a part of this amazing city. We love the Colonial facades of the Historic homes, and love to look inside. After renting a few times , we wanted to be right in the heart, and chose the Santiago area for our purchase. We had rented farther out of the main area, but decided that when you want to watch all the activities in the evening its rather nice to not have to walk too far back home. We chose our property because it was so close to all the vibrancy and liveliness in the parks and squares and restaurants which we love, and yet had a peaceful ambience once you open the doors. We named the home Lola quite by accident as the previous owners Pug was named Lola, and our tabbycat is named Lola, so we just began calling it Lola, so Lola it must stay. We love our home for its high beamed ceilings, historic doors, thick walls, and shaded patio and its many charms. The home has all the amenities you will need, and is such a peaceful oasis in this safe and wonderful city. The barrio where Casa Lola is situated is Santiago, and in the morning you can hear the delightful songs of the local school children, and purchase fresh fruit just down the street. The neighbourhood is friendly, and once inside the home, you can't help but feel relaxed, but do go out evenings to the Zocalo and parks experience the vibrancy of the city. There are so many events, and museums and fabulous architecture that you will never tire of this city.
What makes this property unique
Our home is in the best location in Merida Centro. We are just 2 blocks to the Main Square, and just a few steps to restaurants, and parks and museums. Our property is a sanctuary in the heart of the city. You will not find a better location. No need to get a cab home after a late night, and no need to walk for blocks and blocks in the dark in the evening.....everything is so close. Rent a car for a few days (Parking can be arranged close by) and see the local ruins, and drive to Izamal to see the yellow city, or , from our home take a bus to Progresso for the day to enjoy the beach and take the bus back almost right to your doorstep. Its all right there.
