We had a simply outstanding experience! It isn't possible to adequately describe how wonderful this property is, and how warm and gracious our hosts were. The home itself is spectacular, the nicest place we've stayed in all our travels abroad: grand, comfortable and perfectly appointed. The hosts thought of everything, and they were communicative and incredibly helpful for the duration of our stay. 10/10 property and hosts!

This property was beyond our expectations. The pictures do not capture how impressive it is. Street parking was never an issue and there were plenty of dining options nearby.Each room was clean and no amenity was overlooked. As a family of five with children we appreciated the fully stocked kitchen (in terms of dishes, utensils and spices in the cupboard) and the washing machine and dryer. We had to pay for electricity but it was reasonable giving the fact we utilized the air conditioning and did a few loads of clothes.We heard regularly from Natalie and were grateful for all her recommendations regarding places to visit and things to do.You will not be disappointed.

We had the BEST stay at Villa Romantica! It was even bigger and better than the photos show! The pool was cool and refreshing after being out in the hot sun and it was so stunning. The rooftop outdoor space was the best surprise of all—it is HUGE! The kitchen is well equipped and the AC works really well in all of the bedrooms, making it very comfortable at night and the beds were comfy too. Our hosts were not only quick to respond to our questions, but they sent us tips each day on local things happening in the area. I would absolutely stay here again!!!

Can't say enough good things about Villa Romantica, or the hosts. The Villa is as lovely and comfortable as the pictures suggest. The location can't be beat, being walking distance to many markets, plazas, and Merida's central attractions. And the hosts are the most gracious and thoughtful I have encountered over many VRBO trips -- offering tips, recommendations, and even a few provisions upon our nighttime arrival with a child.

We had an amazing stay at Villa Romantica! The rooftop terrace was perfect for coffee every morning. Enjoyed lounging by the pool and napping in the hammocks in the afternoon. Lots of space to spread out and read a book, play family games, have a nice meal. We loved all the attention to detail and the history of the property. Villa Romantica is centrally located and walking distance to everywhere we wanted to explore in Merida. Natalie was quick to respond to any questions and offered many suggested activities for our family. We also loved the filtered water available and when needed A/C in bedrooms was nice. I would 100% recommend a stay there!!

We stayed at Casa Romantica for a wedding in Mérida. The house is beautiful, well located in downtown Mérida and quite large. It is a true colonial house with gorgeous tile work and a lot of greenery in the court yard. The roof top terrace is a very nice complement to the already abundant seating areas.We would definitely go back not only for the house but also for the kindness, availability and helpfulness of the owners.We had a great stay

Beautiful Historical Stay

This home was absolutely beautiful. The pictures do not do it justice. The beds were comfortable. The air conditioning was perfect. The details of the home were spot on. The book with instructions was more than helpful & I loved the back history of the home being provided in there. The property managers were in constant communication with us. The stay was beyond what I could have imagined!!

We absolutely loved our stay at this home (4 nights). The home is well equipped and beautiful; we spent many hours enjoying the courtyard pool and rooftop deck. Natalie was the most helpful host I've ever encountered - super responsive and went out of her way to answer questions, help make reservations, etc. We would highly recommend this property!

If you’re looking for a place in the middle of Merida with tons of space and a way to cool off in the middle of a hot day you found it. It was so beautiful, well functioning with many different areas for people to hang out either in the cool downstairs or beautiful roof top. AC worked well at night and sleeping was quiet and comfortable. Hosts were very helpful with local activity recommendations. We were tracking with a group from 18-81 years old and everyone was blow away with the space! Stay here you will be happy you did!

The place to stay in Merida!The location was great; everything in the historic district was within walking distance. There was a coffee shop/bakery literally next door for breakfast or lunch. Ubers were plentiful, with most rides arriving within five minutes.The house was unique in our experience. It was beautiful, spacious, and very clean (no bugs!). The pool area and garden was open to the sky, flowing seamlessly into the living area and kitchen. The bedrooms were quiet and comfortable. Furnishings throughout were comfortable and in keeping with the style of the house. The kitchen and laundry were very well equipped with everything we needed.Our hosts were the most helpful and gracious we’ve ever had for a vacation rental. They recommended a local tour guide, Alejandro, for day trips, and he did a fabulous job.

Wonderful Place

This property is just as described. It is the perfect home to stay in. The owners and managers were very helpful. We would definitely stay here again! There is a wonderful bakery just 2 doors down with hot breads for your morning coffee. We invited friends over one night, and they were jealous that they were not staying here. It is BEAUTIFUL and RELAXING!

This home is just incredible. So beautiful and so comfortable. The owners went above and beyond in welcoming us and providing tips for things to do with our young kids. The location is extremely walkable. The pool was too chilly for me in December but my kids had no problem. Really an incredible oasis and plenty of space for larger families or groups traveling together. Highly recommend!

Gorgeous Property & Fabulous Hosts

Villa Romantica is an experience not to be missed when visiting Mérida. The home’s ideal location in the Historical Centre, architecture, and amenities set the stage for the perfect vacation. We’ve interacted with many Premier/Super Hosts through the years, but Natalie and Colum exceeded all past experiences. Their attention to detail was unsurpassed as they provided personalized concierge service to assist with planning transportation, excursions, in-home services, city exploration, dining, and more. Natalie responded to all communications in a timely manner as she went above and beyond to ensure we had a relaxing vacation. We would definitely stay at Villa Romantica during future visits.

Impeccable

The property is every bit as stunning as the photos suggest, furnished with everything a guest could need. Every detail has clearly been well considered for both aesthetics and ease of use. Beyond that, the level of support we received from Natalie from well before check-in to after we were on our way was extraordinary. Super host, super concierge doesn't begin to describe it -- the best host experience I've experienced from a vacation rental by far. Booking Alejandro for day trips to Celestun and to Izamal were also highlights. Truly a great experience.

Magical Stay at Villa Romantica

There was no exaggeration of this lovely property. We considered ourselves very honored to be entrusted with the home. Every room was beautiful and we were torn between going out to explore and experience Merida, or simply lounging near the pool or on the terrace to visit and snack on goodies from the amazing bakery next door. Natalie and Colum were the most attentive hosts we have ever experienced using VRBO’s, even checking in to see how our first night was, and offering wonderful suggestions for things to do and where to go. Thank you both once again! We would love to return.

A+ house, hosts and location

Everything about the house, hosts and location was amazing. Natalie and Colum were excellent hosts. Their communication was responsive and helpful, even before we had even booked the house. The house is truly amazing. If you think the pictures are beautiful, it is even better in person. Every room (and outdoor space) had so many unique design details. The downstairs king bed was very comfortable. The location was great for walking to everything - restaurants, shops, and the tree lined Paseo de Montejo. We felt 100% safe walking around the neighborhood, day or night. We visited many of the restaurants the hosts suggested, and all were amazing.

First the house is beautiful! Well apoointed furniture tastefully decorated. Owner communication was top notch! Close to many restaurants and points of interest. Owners even placed an order that we asked for from walmart and items were in the house. They even made restaurant recommendations. I cannot say enough about the beauty of the property and communication. Highly recommend! I have stayed in Vrbo thoughout many countries and this one falls in my top three. We will return!

An Oasis of Cool Calm in the City

I can't say enough positive about Villa Romantica. We have rented properties all over the world, but will never forget this oasis of cool calm near the very center of Merida. We were wowed by the online pictures, but they don't quite do justice to the scale of the place--it's huge! After hot days climbing Mayan ruins, it was the perfect place to come home to. Merida is a dense, busy city--but step through the door of Villa Romantica and you instantly relax. Nothing was missing--kitchen well equipped, beds comfy, A/C well-functioning. Natalie was responsive and eager to make sure we were happy. Don't hesitate--book this property!
