Casa Guadalupe is a tranquil hideaway in the central historic district of Merida. From Casa Guadalupe, stroll a few blocks down calle 47 to the beginning of the beautiful Paseo Montejo. Every Saturday night, enjoy the music, food, and artisans at the "Noche Mexicana." Two more blocks brings you to the lovely Santa Ana square, with its market (fresh tortillas, produce, flowers, spices), outdoor food court (try the tacos and a fruit smoothie), and, of course, music! On your way home, stop for a refreshing beverage served with some of Merida's best "botanas" (free appetizers).
The Merida English Library sponsors many activities in addition to lending books: Monday evening conversation groups to brush up on your Spanish, Wednesday morning house tours, monthly social gathering, and AA meetings. Once you fall in love with Merida, you'll want to return again and again!

The décor at Casa Guadalupe is mainly Mexican, but not too rustic. (The plumbing is definitely "gringo"!) If you're like us, you'll spend most of your waking hours in the spacious private courtyard - featuring a dipping pool that is perfectly situated to escape the hot afternoon sun. There are two bedrooms - one is in the back, the other in the front, off the living room.
Each has a queen-size bed, and there is a queen-size futon in the living room, as well as two inflatable double mattresses and a hammock. Both bedrooms have wide doors that open onto the courtyard, as well as remote-controlled AC.
There are two bathrooms - one inside the house, and a half bath and outdoor shower are conveniently located in the courtyard (just off the rear bedroom).
The newly renovated gourmet kitchen (we love to cook!) is equipped with the best stainless steel appliances. The counters and backsplash are Mexican native Ticul stone and Talavera tile. Dine al fresco in the enclosed courtyard just outside the kitchen. A stairway leads to the upper terrace - perfect for catching an evening breeze!
