On the second floor, there is a large private terrace, perfect for sun bathing or star gazing at night while sipping on a glass of Mezcal or a Margarita.

Must stay if visiting Merida

We really enjoyed staying at this beautiful unique colonial villa. The pool area located in the center of house is stunning. It was super clean and perfect place to cool off. The location was perfect distance to all the restaurants and cultural events taking place at the center of town. Parking was easy to find. We admired the Maya decor and tile. I will definitely love to book again.

Perfect location! Fantastic Pool!

We loved this house. Its proximity to many parts of the city made it perfect for walking around in the evening when it cooled off. The pool and AC kept us very comfortable during the day. The host was beyond helpful. Would 10/10 recommend and return!

Gorgeous home in a great location

We had a wonderful stay. Check in was easy and the home is GORGEOUS. We loved the courtyard with the pool - so tranquil and relaxing. The location was great - two cute restaurants right outside and the market and a small grocery store (Aki) down the street. The location was also super convenient - we walked everywhere the whole trip. If ever visit Merida again, we would love to stay here again.

Wonderful!

The property was beautiful. Very clean, spacious and beautiful combo of indoor/outdoor living. It’s far enough away from the central plaza to be very quiet but plenty close to walk in. Parking on street by the house was very easy.

Great place in a great spot

Only a few blocks walk to great restaurants and shopping, this house was the perfect spot for a relaxing getaway. Kitchen was well equipped for what we needed but I’d not want to have too many people in the kitchen at one time. Pool stayed cool and refreshing even in high temps (40 C) and lots of comfortable seating was provided. Very quiet at night and the AC worked flawlessly. Would definitely return.

La Vida Buena

The house is comfortable and well represented in the photos. The location of the property is in the Santiago neighborhood close to markets, parks and restaurants. The team at Mérida Rentals was great, especially Sergio. He is very responsive and attentive to all your requests and checked on us a few times to make sure we were comfortable. Laura is an excellent housekeeper. The house was spotless when we checked in and she cleaned again during our stay.

Great stay

Our party of 4 adults stayed for 3 nights. The home had everything we needed. The gas grill was wonderful for our last evening. The beds were very comfortable, washer and dryer a plus, furnished water was huge help. Location was close to grocery and many great cantinas, cathedral, museum etc. I only wish we could have found an on-Off bus tour with English speaking guides. The Mayan market was close but a lot of the same things you saw everywhere much cheAper. Balam, Impala, Maiz Canela Cilantro, La Recova-St Lucia were all great places to eat and refresh. The st. Lucia Park area was great.

Amazing Family Vacation!

Since the very first day we entered the property, a beautiful colonial home that allowed us to immerse ourselves into the Santiago area, we fell in love with all the people we met in Merida. The property was outstanding and so clean. The property management team were professional, attentive, kind, and warm. Immediately across the street was a neighborhood restaurant that served exceptional dishes. Such a quaint establishment. We ate there more than once for breakfast and dinner. Our family did not want to go home. We will definitely be back! We are so grateful to everyone who made our family trip so special. ❤️ Wholeheartedly, awesome!

10 days in Merida

This is a very nice home, and it was very comfortable to stay and be property manager Sergio was excellent. Unfortunately, there are absolutely zero instructions on how to run a house of three bedrooms. It somebody to show how to utilize the television.. but it had all of the Internet sites available. Swimming pool is cleaned only once a week which made it unuseable after the first week, but other than that the house was a pleasure and the team came to answer. Any questions was excellent. I would advise to rent this home.

Casa Yucateca Great Location

Overall, it was a positive stay in a large colonial home. It is plenty spacious for six people with 3 large bedrooms and bathrooms as shown in the photos. We enjoyed the pool and the outdoor living space daily. It is an exceptional central location, and an easy walk to cafes, cantinas, plazas, parks, and markets. A local market is about 2 blocks away where one can purchase fresh fruit and vegetables daily. The kitchen was adequate, but does not have an oven. There were a few issues, but the management company and owner responded promptly. Since we had limited Spanish, the most difficult aspect was directly communicating with the property management since the people who answered phones had limited understanding of English.

About the host

Hosted by Marco

Host profile image
This is our dream vacation home in a fantastic city that offers many attractions. We love being immersed in this historic region with Maya ruins, Cenotes and beaches all just a short drive away. We rent this house when we cannot be there so that other people can enjoy this incredible place as well.

Why they chose this property

Merida is the safest city in Mexico with wonderful people, amazing yucatecan food and rich history. A short drive away you can visit all the major Maya historic sites, take a bath in a Cenote or head to the beach in Progreso or Celestun. Another unknown aspect is the top notch and inexpensive medical and dental care available in Merida.

What makes this property unique

We were looking for a house with character and unchanged colonial features. The neighborood of Santiago is one of the most desirable in Merida, a short walk from everything you need to enjoy all that this great city has to offer.
