Casa Dos is a restored colonial located on the best street in "El Centro" which is
the historical heart of Merida, Yucatan. The house has been designed with both comfort and style in mind.
Great attention was given to each detail in order to make sure Casa Dos would be comfortable for an evening or for a lifetime. This location is walk able to the main square as well as all the museums, art galleries and the famous Paseo de Montejo.
Casa Dos is full of architectural details from the Colonnade of Columns to the tiniest details such as the ancient doorknobs and stone flooring. The oldest part of the building is the front section which has very high ceilings and old wooded beams.
This part of the house is built around two Italianesque Style gardens which give you the indoor / outdoor living that Merida is so famous for having.
There are blooming plants, lime trees and a trough type fountain that frames these first two garden areas. Along this colonnade of columns and gardens there is one of the grand master suites with a Barrel Vaulted ceiling that reminds one of an old church building.
Next to this room is the heart of the home - the kitchen. This kitchen is a Chefs kitchen with everything you could desire. It's style is rustic yet modern with polished concrete countertops and custom finishes inspired from the Old Haciendas of the Yucatan.
The kitchen is fully equipped with high end appliances including dishwasher, stainless steel refrigerator with ice and purified water in the door, Convection oven and gas cook top. There is even purified water at the kitchen sink.
The center area of this property is the outdoor living area. This is where you will spend most of your time. There are areas for dining and for lounging beside the pool.
This area has a Tejaban roof which is made from the old French roof tiles made in Marseilles and then imported into Mexico hundreds of years ago. Next to this terrace is the pool which is lined in glass tiles and is fully filtered.
There is a garden lined with various types of Palm trees and blooming heliconias which attract the humming birds each morning. Most mornings you can see and hear a number of green parrots fly over as you drink your coffee.
Just past this main garden/ pool area is a step into the modern world with a huge master suite designed to be a contrast to the original old part of the property. This oversized suite has its own private terrace and garden.
The room is lined on two sides with glass walls overlooking two different garden areas. In the master bath there is a marble shower with a glass door opening to the garden so that you have a choice to shower indoors or have the feeling of being outdoors.
In addition the shower features the rain shower head that floats in the ceiling so that you have the sensation of being in the rain rather than just being in an ordinary shower.
Casa Dos is a three bedroom and three bathroom property. The master bedroom is extremely large with a queen size bed, flat screen television and its own sound system as well as private bathroom.
In the second and third bedrooms you will also find a queen size bed and private bathroom. There are a variety of areas for entertaining or relaxing both indoors and outdoors.

The Unique Benefits at this House
The vacation rental in Merida with the best service, the most beautiful ambiance, the most amenities plus an ideal location. At Casa Dos, we pride ourselves on making your Merida vacation the best one ever.
From the beginning Casa Dos has been a work of great detail. The home was originally renovated to be a private residence and a work of art. The best of everything was selected to build the home: a reverse osmosis water treatment system, low voltage art lighting, oversized air conditioning units, imported appliances, restored antique hardware fixtures... everything. Casa Dos is probably the only vacation rental that has the features of a full time residence... and it is waiting for your next vacation. It is like having your own luxury second home.
Owner's Map of Merida
We originally restored Casa Dos to be our home but after 3 years of loving care and lots of work we decided it was time to do it again and so we now live a few blocks away and are working on our latest project.
The goal now is to make Casa Dos the best vacation rental in Merida. We hope you enjoy it.
