Beautiful Restored Colonial In Merida Centro – Santa Ana/Paseo Montejo
September Deals: New lower rates and special discounts. Book now!
Welcome to Casa Noel, tucked in the heart of historic Merida Centro. This beautiful colonial home is perfectly located less than two blocks from the many attractions of the Paseo Montejo and the Plaza Grande is an easy ten minute walk away. Three blocks from the house, enjoy the daily market at Santa Ana park. Every day, merchants serve up favorite local foods, souvenirs and services. Santa Ana is also home to numerous art galleries, featuring art in many forms from around the world with a focus on Mexican and Latin American artists.
Hiding behind the simple colonial facade, Casa Noel will quickly become your refuge from the busy city life. The tall entry doors reveal a view through the house to the central courtyard and from there to the rear garden. Traditional high ceilings and pasta tile floors combine with modern touches in a perfect blend of comfort and old Mexico.
The comfortable living room includes a flat screen HD television with cable and dvd player. The cable service includes English language news, sports and movie channels, along with extensive Spanish language selections. Casa Noel is also equipped with high speed wireless internet access.
The dining room with a beautiful antique table and chairs and seating for eight is adjacent to the central courtyard, opening through the original wood archway to this bright and airy space. In the center of the house, this covered and screened center courtyard brings light and breezes to the living spaces. Sit here in the morning at the café table with your coffee and enjoy breakfast to the sounds of birds in the nearby trees.
The all new, much larger and modern kitchen opens off the central courtyard as well. Broad doors and windows bring in cooling breezes and light filtered through the courtyard plantings.
A comfortable sitting room is adjacent to the master bedroom and opens onto a covered outdoor terrace leading to the gardens featuring a pool set amidst beautiful tropical plantings. A refreshing outdoor shower is located near the pool. Enjoy the sun in the garden surrounding the pool, or rest in the shade of the terrace.
The home includes three stunning bedrooms with 17 foot ceilings featuring the original pasta tile floors. New mattresses, ceiling fans and air conditioning in each bedroom assure your comfort. The two large front bedrooms have queen size beds with side tables and storage. The all new master bedroom with king size bed features an en-suite bathroom with a delightful rainfall shower and dual sinks. The bedroom opens onto the quiet rear courtyard through high doors with a view of the pool and gardens, and offers complete privacy from the rest of the house.
Within a block of Casa Noel you will find multiple options for dining out, from a traditional cocina economica, two very special Mexican restaurants and a French cafe which also sells excellent cheeses and wine. Just two blocks away on Paseo Montejo you will find many restaurant and shopping options, along with several interesting museums. The daily Santa Ana market has a broad selection of meats, fresh fruits and vegetables. The modern Walmart is about a five minute walk or short Uber away.
Our local property manager speaks excellent English. She and her staff can arrange nearly any additional service you may need, including transportation, child care, travel information, shopping, massage or a cook. You may want the unique experience of a private cooking lesson for your party focused on local Yucatecan cuisine.
We invite your family to make our home your home in the beautiful colonial heart of Merida and the Yucatan peninsula.

Beautiful getaway. I stayed here two weeks with my son and brother, and it was a home away from home. Right by the center of town but out enough to have peace at night. The kitchen had everything we needed. Couldn’t ask for more.
Beautiful house. Kitchen well equipped. Jesus met us and gave us a tour. Andrea responded to questions promptly.Pool was very cold. A pool cover would be useful.House was very quiet. Great location.
Jesús was a wonderful, welcoming host who went above & beyond the call of duty. Mil vices gracias. Excellent communications. A beautiful, well maintained casa colonial near everything in the Centro. Though we had a rental vehicle which served us well when needed, for much of our 4-day stay, getting around by foot in this delightfully walkable city was a pleasure during most of our outings.
Beautiful place just blocks from the main road with restaurants or the square. Very clean and the restoration with Mexican tile and large wood doors was beautiful.

Thank you very much. We're glad you enjoyed our home and your stay.
Very relaxing experience enjoying the pool as well as the interior garden, you really experience how people lived a century ago. Property's location is great and we were able to walk to restaurants and do a ton of sight seeing.

Thank you very much, Eric, for staying with us and for your great comments. We're really glad you enjoyed our home.
The home was stunning, nothing and I mean nothing was wrong with it, the rooms are all spacious with their own AC units which cool very well. The kitchen is well stocked, the restrooms are perfect, the water pressure was good. The pool is big enough and deep enough for the four members of my family to be comfortable and have an amazing time. This is the first time in my travels that nothing and I mean absolutely nothing was wrong. Jesus was there for anything we needed, he was very responsive and made us feel very comfortable during our stay.

Thank you so very much for your comments. It's wonderful to us when a guest enjoys our home so much that you take the time to write an extensive and complementary review. This is our part time home and we love it. When a guest feels the same way it is so very gratifying. We work so hard, as do Jesus and Andrea, to make it so. I sincerely hope you can come back some day.

Thank you David, very much. Glad you had a great time.
Enjoyed our stay very much and particularly appreciated the location. Also, appreciated finding a kitchen that was properly stocked with cooking tools and appliances - even a sharp knife. Note: the pool is small but nice for cooling down and the court may be a little shady for serious sun lovers.

Hi Katie, thanks so much for your kind words. We're glad you enjoyed Merida and our home.
Wonderfully located near all the historical plazas!Loved how spacious the home was. Almost felt like we had our own Hacienda!I would just make one small suggestion and I mean no offense to the owners would be to update the bed linen and pillows. Other than that it was amazin!

Hi Veronica, thanks for your review. Glad you enjoyed our home. I'm sorry you weren't happy with the linens. We just replaced some in November and will be bringing more with us in April during our next visit. They take a beating with use and the somewhat harsh laundry service.
Husband was very impressed with the house and the family loved all the historical rooms and nice having a pool to cool off in.

Mary, thank you so much. We're glad you enjoyed your stay. With the crazy hot weather everywhere this year, the pool is so great to have. Hope you can come back again some day.
This a tasteful and very well equipped 3 bedroom casita in the centro district of Merida. Only a few metres from wonderful cafes and restaurants and one of the main paseje, it is easy to walk to the central square etc.A great base to explore! Lovely house with cool high ceilings, a well equipped kitchen, 2 bathrooms and a pool. We had a wonderful time and the prooerty mangers were responsive and helpful, and spoke English. Would recommend!

About the host
Hosted by Rex Noel
Why they chose this property
Merida is truly authentic Mexico. The city itself and the surrounding countryside take us back to a more tranquil time when friends and family are more important than.... well, anything. The local people are warm, friendly and welcoming. We wander the streets at all hours in complete safety. And our time here leaves us relaxed and ready to face our busy lives again.
What makes this property unique
The location of Casa Noel is nearly perfect. On a quiet, bus free street, yet very close to so much of the city life that attracted us to Merida. The Paseo Montejo is just two blocks away with numerous restaurants and shops. Our local Santa Ana market offers a true Mexican shopping experience along with many of the services we have needed as homeowners and is just three blocks away. And we are within an easy 15 minute walk of the Plaza Grande yet discreetly removed from the noise and bustle of that area.
And when you choose to remain home and relax, the quiet comfort of our home, gardens and outdoor living spaces will allow you to rest, refresh and recharge.
