Location: Panama City, Panama, Central America
Accommodations: Condominium, Studio, 1 Bath (Sleeps 2)
This studio is located in Casco Antiguo (also known as Casco Viejo) in the Unesco World Heritage neighborhood (the "gem" of Panama City).
It is brand new as the building was restored in August 2008 in a newly restored building set on a quiet street where the Mayor has got his office (meaning also security 24 h) and is also home to the oldest church "La Merced" and it's convent right next door - hence the name of the building "PH La Merced".
The studio has all the comfort and more as it has been fitted with crown molding, bamboo floors and custom made furniture. The settings is elegant yet homey and the kitchen is set aside from the main living room and is fully equipped with even a side by side refrigerator!
It is located minutes away from a Gourmet store where you can do your shopping and also be served a nice breakfast, many fine restaurants, a Gourmet Ice cream shop, and important plazas and monuments as the Golden Altar, Plaza Herrera and the main plaza Catedral ;-)
PLEASE note that our calendar is not up to date so inquire for availability.
P.S. the studio is located on the second floor...no elevator.

Why the Owner Chose Panama City
We chose to purchase this property because we love the colonial neighborhood of Casco Viejo (UNESCO World Heritage) – it’s vibrant and has some of the best restaurants in town...not to mention that it is fascinating to wonder about in its little colonial streets admiring the buildings amazing architectures.
It’s the up-coming neighborhood of the city, it is centrally located between the banking district (2 min’s drive) and the Amador Causeway (5 min’s drive) and now is also walking distance to the new coastal belt where you can jog or just take a walk.
Lots of entertainments like the national Theatre and all the different venues: the Jazz and Music festival. You’ll find a variety of little shops with beautiful Panamanian handcrafts and every Sunday the flea market.
Casco Viejo is a great walking neighborhood home to the Presidential Palace, the Mayor’s Office (in our street) and the French Embassy.
It’s a perfect Holiday spot…and we have taken great care of making the condo as cozy as possible with high end amenities.
