About this property

WONDERFUL CHARMING HOUSE, TASTEFULLY DECORATED, HISTORICAL CENTRE, POOL, CULTURE

Discover the enchanting "Casa del Árbol," a beautifully renovated 175 m² eco-chic retreat in Mérida's historic center. This distinctive home blends modern comfort with Yucatecan charm, featuring a stunning living tree and refreshing private pool. A welcoming heaven for couples, families, remote workers (reliable connectivity Starlink +100 Mbps), and the LGBTQ+ community. Enjoy personalized concierge service, brand-new AC, and explore authentic local culture through our unique local tours.

Named “CASA DEL ARBOL”, designed by nature and one of Mérida’s upcoming star architects, combines this amazing rental home Mérida’s traditional colonial architecture with nature, rustic and modern elements as well as all modern amenities in a truly unique way. The house will talk to people looking for something unique and particular. While nature implemented a wonderful living tree into the colonial structure, managed the architect to integrate the given nature elements into her architectural concept in order for them to coexist in harmony. The result is an outstanding home full of peace and joy. The house features two cozy bedrooms.

Both bedrooms are located on the second floor equipped with brand new air conditioning and fans. The master bedroom grants access to a homey terrace with the formerly mentioned tree. Its huge panoramic windows provide great views over the lovely garden with its illuminated, filtered Chukum pool. A further big terrace next to the first bedroom in front of the house works as a sun deck. You will feel like a bird in his nest.

Downstairs you are going to find the tastefully furnished and decorated living area (with A/C and fans) consisting out of the living room, the great dining room in the center, an office corner, as well as an open kitchen plus an inner terrace and a half bathroom. Definitely a major highlight, and next to the dining area the heart of the living area, is the open kitchen. It comes fully equipped and its practical layout in combination with lots of space, allows you to become very creative in preparing delicious meals for your family and friends. The huge kitchen island with several comfortable bar chairs in the center of the kitchen is the perfect place to gather them all together to either enjoy cooking together or just spend leisure time maybe with a glass of wine in a beautiful surrounding.

Next to the two terraces on the second floor is the lovely garden with its illuminated, filtered Chukum pool the third outside area of this unique property and the best place to cool down after one of Mérida’s hot summer days. A clean storage room in the back completes this great offer. It hosts all the cleaning and gardening equipment as well as the water heater and the machinery for the house.

BEDROOM 1: 1 KING SIZE BED
BEDROOM 2: 2 QUEEN SIZE BED, fully equipped, with nice linen and choice of colors.

House perfectly adapted to families !!!! Also equipped for babies with a brand new baby bed and sheets. Safety Box with private code available. Netflix, tv cable, bbq, A/C.

Great Place

This home was so amazing and we were 100% pleased. It does take a short Uber to get to the city center but that was no issue.Everything about this place was great from how clean it was to the space. We loved it.

Really cool vibes

The house is as pictured, beautifully appointed. The owners were courteous, helpful and very pleasant to converse with. Gave us many ideas, went to a couple of the restaurants they suggested and the food was great! Matteo very helpful and was there to greet us, do a house run through and waited patiently for us on a Friday night!

Amazing place in the heart of Merida

Wish we could have stayed longer than 3 nights! Casa del Arbol is absolutely beautiful, very tastefully designed, with old elements peeking through into a very modern space with lots of natural light and fresh air circulating. The master bedroom is like sleeping in the trees! The wading pool is perfect for cooling off in the middle of the day or at night before going to sleep. Location is good, in a classic Centro neighbourhood. It is a 20 minute walk to the main plaza.

Industrial Chic in Mérida

Amazing property! The architectural details and choices made are top notch. Loved the cool polished concrete on my bare feet. Loved the indoor/outdoor living on both levels of the casa. The owner, Jerome, is wonderful and VERY responsive to texts (WhatsApp preferred platform). I felt very comfortable walking in this neighborhood on my own at night. And a great French bakery and espresso café several blocks away.

Casa de Arbol

The home is quite large and the architecture is absolutely amazing and stunning. They have incorporated nature right into the house. We had a wonderful time there and were able to walk to most places that we wanted to go, but it is about a one and a half km walk to the grande Plaza And we did find the street that it was on rather noisy. But overall, we certainly would recommend staying there. The owners and the people they have looking after things for them were so responsive and amazing.

Felt as though I was welcomed into someone’s home

Property is tastefully furnished and spotlessly clean. I felt as though I had been invited into the owner’s home. He welcomed me when I came and everyday made sure that I was comfortable. He gave me tips on places to eat and things to do. His concierge was responsive and quite competent. I felt safe in the house and the neighborhood. I would go back again and in fact I am going back soon!

Beautiful Merida Casa

My partner and I were travelling to Merida with another couple and needed a base. Casa del Arbel worked out wonderfully for us. It has a unique design, is very spacious and met our needs perfectly. The best part though is the owner, Jerome. The communication with him was exceptional! He sent lots of information before we arrived, and was very quick to respond and support with any questions we had. He clearly cares about his guests comfort and takes pride in maintaining a beautiful property. Much gracious Jerome!

Enjoyable stay in thoughtfully designed, spacious & unique home in Merida

Our family of 4 (2 parents, 2 grown kids in their 20s), enjoyed our stay in this thoughtfully designed, spacious & unique home in Merida. We made use of the pool in the late afternoon & drank morning coffee on the mid level balcony. Jerome was super communicative & gave us useful recommendations for day- trips & other activities. Checking in & out were a snap (Mateo asked us for arrival info the day before & was there to greet us & Jerome was super flexible with check out time). It’s a 20 minute walk to the Plaza Grande, so we walked or Ubered to most restaurants & local sites. Those were both safe & easy, but maybe not for everyone. We are pleased to recommend this house!

Beautiful Merida Home

My partner and I had the pleasure of staying at Casa Del Abor for 4 days on our first trip to Merida. The home is beautifully designed, clean and comfortable. The pool delightful. Our communications with the owner was easy and check-in with Mateo, the house keeper, seamless. The owner is gracious and very welcoming- providing fabulous dining suggestions and places to visit. The home is convenient and walking to/from restaurants and historical sites safe. We had a rental car (happy we did) but found parking challenging in the central areas. We highly recommend Casa Del Abor if visiting Merida. We will be back.

Very Nice, but

There is no AC in the main living areas. This is a problem when the temp outside is 100+. We really couldn't enjoy the house because it was too hot to move around. We were confined to the bedrooms. If you are traveling in cooler months this is a great option. The living area is large and nicely decorated. Kitchen is fully equipped. Nice little courtyard with pool and a large 2nd floor patio. Bedrooms are spacious and comfortable. Location is good. Parking available on the street.

Lovely place to stay in Merida

My husband and infant twins spent a few days at this property and had a lovely time. The home is stunning. The work Jerome and his family did to update the home but maintain the charm is incredible. There are fans throughout the home to keep things cool and AC in the bedrooms for nighttime. We loved the dipping pool in the back to refresh from walks outside. The front room is a little loud with street noise as it’s on a busy road but nothing a noise machine couldn’t mask. The main bedroom is very quiet with a gorgeous view over the pool. Jerome and Mateo were very helpful and Jerome gave us a recommendation for an amazing cenote to visit with our infant daughters. We recommend this property and when we come back to Merida would definitely want to stay here again.

Beautiful!

Pictures do not do justice to this beautiful and lovingly restored home. Peaceful, serene and comfortable place to stay in the heart of Merida. Safe and friendly neighborhood--while we were waiting to check in, a neighbor, thinking we were lost,just walked up and asked if we needed help. Easy walk to the Santiago market and a small grocery, but a bit longer walk to the main square(still doable for 65+ year olds). The casa is well supplied with all the essentials and has a full kitchen for cooking . The main bedroom is stunning with 2 walls of windows, wow! Lots of fans throughout the house to improve airflow and a/c in the bedrooms worked perfectly. Loved the 3 well designed outdoor spaces for relaxing or a quick siesta. Can't wait to stay here again!
