Casa La Ermita, Charming Restored Colonial in Historic Centro

This is a beautifully restored colonial house in the tranquil historic neighborhood of La Ermita, standing on one of the oldest cobblestone streets in the great city of Merida. The house is centrally located nine blocks from Merida's colorful main square, nine blocks from the splendid main market, and only steps away from lovely La Ermita Park and the neighborhood's botanic garden.

The house is ideal for a couple, a cozy home with original Yucatecan doors and windows, skylights, and dazzling pasta tile floors. A generous covered outdoor dining area opens out to a patio, pool, and garden. A charming staircase leads you up to a sunny roof terrace. The large, renovated kitchen is bright, fully equipped, and cook friendly, with a dishwasher and ample storage. The master bedroom has a walk-in closet, and the modern bathroom includes a shower large enough for two. The original 18' high ceilings help keep all the rooms cool and airy.

Due to the staircase and the depth of the pool, the house may not be suitable for small children.

Upon your arrival, you will be greeted by a representative from our management company, who will help you to settle in and answer any questions you may have about the house and about the city. Airport transportation can also be provided. If you choose to rent a car, parking is readily available on the street at all times, directly in front of the house.

We invite you to make yourself at home here, and hope you will enjoy the house while you are exploring this vibrant, unique, lovely city and all the wonderful surrounding areas.

Magnífica!
Great apartment with lots of space and high ceilings! Very clean, with well equipped kitchen and covered patio overlooking the garden and pool. Has a nice little grocery store about a block away and a new restaurant down the block. Located in a very residential area about a 15 minute walk from the grand plaza so recommended for those who enjoy a walk.

Lovely get away in Merida
Peaceful , comfortable and beautiful home in Merida . Gorgeous indoor and outdoor living . Well equipped kitchen and bath with all you need for a home away from home stay. The outdoor plunge pool and surrounding foliage and garden was very peaceful and a great reprieve from the hot Merida temperature during our visit. ( heat wave in March 102 deg F). Management team extremely responsive and kind. Owners notes and guide to the home extremely thorough and helpful . Close to many activities and Centro. People of Merida kind and very helpful . My husband and enjoyed our visit to this home !

Beautiful Mérida
Everything in Casa Ermita was as described: great location, professional property management team, comfortable home - especially the bed! My favorite time of the day was breakfast on the terrace every morning. Traffic noise during the day is a reality, so is the barking dog next door and the piercing sound from someplace but that’s part of living in an authentic neighborhood in Mérida!

Beautiful Merida
Casa La Ermita was exactly as described and absolutely filled with Merida charm. One of the reason we came to Merida was because of a North American TV show called House Hunters International. They featured Merida and the beautiful homes in Centro and Casa La Ermita lived up to our expectations. The patio area is a paradise in itself with the architectural arches and plunge pool that was used daily. The location was great and in the 2 weeks we spent there we used a taxi once as we found walking was no problem to get around. Merida is a beautiful city and our accommodations added to our amazing time there. The owners and the property manager were very nice and easy to communicate with and we’re very helpful. Upon arrival, after which had been a very long and hot day of travel, we did not get the house until late where the very kind and helpful Jesús met us to show us around the house and also had a 6 pack of cold beer waiting for us which was so appreciated. We would definitely rent Casa La Ermita again. Noreen & Reinhard Canada 🇨🇦

Beautiful House in a Central Location
We loved our 2-week stay at this comfortable, beautifully restored historic home in central Mérida! It felt like our home away from home while we explored Yucatán. We had excellent communication with the property managers! Before we arrived, the owners sent us a thorough house guide and recommendations for things to do in the city, which made us feel welcome and comfortable upon arrival. The housekeeper met us when we arrived to orient us to the house, and then he was very responsive to messages when we had questions. The house is spacious and comfortable. We enjoyed many meals in the large kitchen, which has a good supply of pans, utensils, and supplies. We also loved hanging out on the large back patio and in the pool on hot days! The living room and bedroom were comfortable and equipped with AC to keep the rooms cool. We could hear some noise from the street outside, but we found it negligible once we closed the bedroom doors at night. Everything was very clean, and we had plenty of linens and house supplies. The house's wifi connection works well for general browsing and sending emails, but it wasn't enough for video calls, streaming, or more than one person working. The house is about 3/4 mile from Centro Historico, and less than 1/4 mile from La Ermita or Parque San Juan for street tacos, snacks, or people-watching. Overall, an amazing place to see local life in Mérida and explore the region! Highly recommend!

Old charm
Very charming place, only a short walk (about 10 min) to the main plaza. The only minus is the street is a bit noisy (buses) so if you are a light sleeper it could be a problem. Very responsive and generous owners. Thank you Derrick!

Excellent Stay!
This was a beautiful place to land in Merida. Our communication with Andy was exceptional. Truly a lovely place. The owner was concerned about possible noise from an ice cream producer behind the house. We found it negligible. Very safe and enjoyable visit. Would highly recommend it!
