Nestled in the heart of Old San Juan, this historic 500-year-old home offers an unparalleled experience where the past seamlessly meets the present. Take a leisurely stroll through cobblestone streets lined with exquisite colonial architecture, where hanging balconies and vibrant façades transport you to another era. Encased by imposing fortifications built centuries ago to safeguard the city, this charming home is directly across from the majestic San Cristobal Fort, offering stunning vistas of the Atlantic Ocean and the fort’s timeless grandeur.

This home is a stone's throw from Old San Juan’s lively atmosphere, where you’ll find an array of duty-free shops, world-class international dining, and exciting nightlife. As the home port to some of the world’s most prestigious cruise ships, the city buzzes with energy and culture.

Recently and lovingly renovated, this entire house is exclusively available to guests, offering the perfect blend of modern comfort and historical charm. The second level, accessible by an elegant spiral staircase, features a spacious living area and a luxurious bedroom with sweeping views. For guests with mobility concerns, there is a queen sofa bed and a full bathroom on the first level, ensuring accessibility without compromising comfort.

Please note that the house has spiral stairs and balconies, so children should be supervised at all times.

With a maximum capacity of 6 guests, this enchanting space is perfect for families or groups looking to immerse themselves in the rich history and beauty of Old San Juan while enjoying the privacy and luxury of a beautifully restored home.
