About this property

Beautiful Restored Colonial in Centro Historico

Casa Serena has all of the colonial charm you expect in a fully-renovated home in the heart of Merida's Centro.  It is located only steps away from Merida's English Library, a local hub for expat gathering and activities.

This colonial home is ideally situated for exploring the nearby art galleries, parks, historic churches, and museums but also close to the local shops, cafés, and culinary restaurants for which Merida has become famous.

Welcoming you as you enter the foyer of the home are high wood-beamed ceilings, restored antique doors, pasta tiled floors and large open spaces.  You will find this comfortable home tastefully decorated with unique Mexican artwork collected by the owner adorning the walls and tables throughout.  Just off the foyer, you will find the first of three well appointed bedrooms with ensuite baths. The home sleeps 6 persons.  Next is a comfortable living room for unwinding by reading, listening to music, or watching the cable television. This leads to both the inside dining room and the kitchen. The column-lined kitchen is the center of the home and effortlessly meshes with the exterior courtyard, pool, and exterior dining room which surround it.  The modern kitchen is fully-equipped to fulfill all of your needs during your stay and features a breakfast bar for gathering or eating. There is even a grill by the pool for further cooking needs.

The exterior spaces of this home, which feature tropical flowering and fruit-bearing plants, are where most guests end up relaxing when not exploring the historic city or nearby Mayan pyramids, museums and cenotes.  In addition to the 6 ft. by 15 ft. filtered pool in the center courtyard, there are two additional rooftop terraces to enjoy.  Perched above the kitchen is a just completed, bedroom suite which overlooks the pool below and has its own bathroom.  Past the pool, secluded at the rear of the property, is the separate master suite and bath.  This bedroom is the perfect place to catch up on any well-deserved sleep.

Casa Serena has a long history of providing its guests with a centrally located retreat in the middle of historic Merida.
