About this property

300 year old colonial mansion one block from the town square

This beautiful restored Casona was the residence of the first town doctor. The location is excellent being very close to shops and restaurants. Although it's close to the town square once you enter the front door the interior of the property is peaceful due to the 3 foot thick interior walls. The house was restored with the original floor plan and is furnished with custom-made furniture. We have all the modern conveniences and a live-in houseman on the property in private quarters at the extreme back corner of the gardens. Carlos has been in our employ for over 17 years and is able to help you enjoy your visit to Valladolid. The gardens are high maintenance and he spends his days manicuring the tropical plants and maintaining the living quarters as needed. Maximum 6 persons.

Everything was wonderful. Only had a few issues with the plumbing in the upstairs room, but the host was very responsive and managed to get the issue fixed twice. The home is beautifully restored and has a wide variety of trees and plants inside of its courtyard. Despite the minor plumbing issue, we enjoyed our stay.

Thank you so much for staying at Amora Karina. We’re very happy you enjoyed the home, courtyard, and gardens. The variety of trees and plants is one of the things we love most about the property, from avocado and coconut to lemon and tamarind. We also appreciate your patience with the plumbing issue and are glad we were able to address it quickly. It would be a pleasure to welcome you back to Amora Karina whenever you return to beautiful Valladolid.

We absolutely loved our stay. It was one of the high points of our trip to Mexico. We couldn’t believe this was our home for a few days! The location is perfect, the natural setting gives you the chance to enjoy the outdoors constantly, and Carlos and Danielle were amazing helps during our stay. We loved hearing the history of the property and it was fantastic to get to cook family meals in this kitchen! My two teen girls and I felt perfectly safe even in the heart of Valladolid.

Cool unique place to stay in heart of Vallodolid. Comfortable. Beautiful covered patio and courtyard with ceiling fans and gorgeous landscaping. We enjoyed just sitting and visiting with our extended family during the holiday season. Even caught the Christmas parade as it passed directly by our front door on the way to the town square. We had great fun. Not sure the house would be good for young children as it contains many delicate and interesting pieces of art. Hope to come back again someday.

Amazing property in an interesting city

After many vacations on the coast, our family ventured inland to Valladolid and were greeted by friendly people in a beautiful setting. The hacienda was the crown jewel of the experience, and we wished we'd have booked more nights! The hostess is a joy pointing us towards great food and experiences and even taking our daughter to tend to her rescue dogs to her delight. Highly recommended!

Lovingly restored 18th century sprawling property, with beautiful garden, filled with antiques and modern amenities. One of the best properties we ever had a luck to stay.

Wonderful stay!

This was such a wonderful stay! From the impeccable design, beautiful gardens, and historical relevance (this house belonged to the first town doctor), Casa Amore Carina was an amazing, one of a kind experience. We were all taken with the beauty, hospitality, and comfort of this stay. A big thanks to Danielle, the host, who took care of all our needs and wants, and went above and beyond with daily recommendations. Also, thank you Carlos!

Like no place I've stayed before

This home in Valladolid is unlike any home I've stayed at before. It feels like an old Spanish villa, or like a whole hotel just for us. The gardens are spectacularly maintained, and make it delightful to walk from the main entry-hall to the kitchen and rear wing of the property. The tall ceilings, beautiful art, and enormous kitchen made me want to never leave the VRBO, even though there is so much to do in and around Valladolid.

Beautiful historic home in Valladolid

Great location, walk to plaza and restaurants around the city center. House is a beautiful oasis with 2 private courtyards and a fantastic roof deck. Back courtyard garden is a perfect spot to relax. House is clean, well stocked big kitchen, washer dryer. Lots of art and history. Great place to stay. Danielle is super responsive and available for questions or recommendations, otherwise the house is a quiet place to relax in the middle of Valladolid. Thanks!

Extraordinary place

Staying in this beautiful historical house was like a dream--every detail was beautiful and thoughtful. Danielle was amazing and welcomed us so warmly, with lots of wonderful suggestions for restaurants and sights. The garden is absolutely dreamy and the kitchen spectacular--I could have happily stayed inside for a week exploring the property's many secret corners. But great location too--easy to shop, eat and see the sights all around. The magical Cenote Zaci and Convento San Bernardino are both 10-15 minutes walk away through beautiful neighborhoods. We would (and hope to) absolutely stay again!

Nicest place I have ever stayed!

Though every photo is accurate, none of them do justice to this incredible villa. It is mere blocks from the town center, but when you enter the door you step into another world. Absolute old world luxury. As for the hostess and caretaker, Danielle and Carlos could not be nicer. They clearly have a passion and a talent for their jobs. My next trip to the area will be planned around availability of this fabulous villa!

The house was even more gorgeous than the photos in the VRBO post. The property was a beautiful oasis in the center of the city. The colonial architecture and furniture style have been painstakingly maintained. Carlos, the groundskeeper, was a gem and even ran an errand for us on the first morning - bringing us fresh tortillas. Danielle, the property manager, was super helpful and very responsive. She shared some terrific suggestions with us about where to eat and what to do with our two girls. Our daughters, 2 and 8, loved exploring the property. The wifi only works in a portion of the house, due to the thick adobe walls. But this was expected.

Fantastic historical house!

There is so much to say about this property. The location was ideal, and being in such a well maintained and beautiful historical colonial home left us speechless. It was FANTASTIC! The owners had it well equipped, and thought of everything. Carlos kept up the grounds and house wonderfully, and Danielle is an amazing person and house manager. She is absolutely delightful, and her #1 priority is to ensure we had a great stay. Many reviews just give 5 stars because it’s ‘easy’ … but trust me this one really deserves 5++ stars!

Incredibly gorgeous estate!

This place was jaw dropping! The art, soaring ceilings, antique furniture, and most lush gorgeous yard and courtyard. You have to see it to believe it. We loved it SO much and wished we booked an additional night here. The host, Daniella, was so kind and gracious, giving good food recommendations and going out of her way to be helpful in every way. There is no A/C in the living room or dining room, but it’s worth being a bit warm to experience this incredible house and relax on the beauful patio area overlooking the potted plants, large trees, and ancient walls. Staying here was one of the top experiences of our trip across the Yucatan.

Spring 2024 Stay

The property, both the structure and grounds, and beautiful and well-maintained. We had a wonderful stay (2 adults, 4 small children) and were very happy with the experience. The location was perfect as it was close to the main square. Check-in was easy as was communication. We could walk to the majority of restaurants and sites we were interested in seeing in Valladolid. We were able to park right out front whenever we drove, but during busy times I could see parking being a bit of a challenge. The street cleared out during the evening each day though. I would very much recommend this property.

The perfect Valladolid oasis

We are so happy that we booked this incredible property for our group. The pictures barely do it justice, it is truly stunning and so unique. There was plenty of space for our group of 5 adults, and all the amenities we needed. A/C in the bedrooms made sleeping very comfortable and there are fans throughout the other spaces including in the outdoor seating area which was a perfect place to gather at the end of the day. The kitchen is very well set up and has everything you could need. The hosts were very responsive and easy to get ahold of. Carlos was super helpful and friendly and keeps the house is immaculate shape. We cannot wait to come back!
