Casa Abuelita Summary

Holiday home with private pool, a short walk to Malecon La Paz

Photo gallery for Casa Abuelita Summary

This gorgeous house is over 100 years old, and has been painstakingly renovated to offer all the modern amenities while retaining the charm and style of its exquisite original structure. Casa Abuelita is El Cirio Vacation Home's crowning jewel.
The small, private plunge pool is perfect for cooling off in summertime, and in the chillier months you can turn on the heater.
It is small yet still refreshing (.9m x 1.9m x 3.7m), and clean beach towels are provided poolside.
There are many comfortable places to sit outdoors and admire the songbirds flitting in and out of your yard.
Pop off the cushions if you would like to peer down into the house's century-old well! (Don't worry, the metal safety grate cannot be removed.)

About this property

Casa Abuelita Summary

Summary:
This is a traditional La Paz home! Over a hundred years old, this songbird-themed home lies in the heart of downtown, and just a short walk from the beach. It is cozily nestled in between some of La Paz’s trendiest shops, cafés, bar and restaurants. Recently renovated and meticulously maintained, Casa Abuelita retains all the detail and charm of the original structure while bringing you 21st century amenities and all the vacation essentials.

The Space:
Casa Abuelita is the darling and favorite a of all the guests who have made this their home away from home. Its decoration and furniture is just exquisite. We’ve paid extensive time, love, and attention to the beautiful bird-themed murals and artwork of Casa Abuelita—a magnificent detail that brings light and beauty to its open spaces.

The colonial architecture of Casa Abuelita is a window into the past of this gorgeous city. Built over 100 years ago, it recently had an exquisite and complete renovation that has preserved the history and beauty of a vintage home while bringing you all the comforts and amenities of the 21st century.
Its interiors as well as its exteriors are beautiful and very comfortable. The original doors, cleaned and waxed, still hang beneath the wooden beams where they have been for decades, but they are now accompanied by a layer of foam insulation and waterproofing that allow for comfortable nights, even in the heat of summer.
Its two master bedrooms are warm and colorful. The side street rooms that once served spaces for Señora Julieta’s typing classes have been remodeled and are now finely designed bathrooms that also act as buffers from the sounds of the street.

Inside the house you will find a pool, bbq grill, sun area, and features an old well, protected by a sturdy steel grate, that still reaches down into the La Paz aquifer.

Guest Access:
Guests have access to all areas of the house beyond the 3 bedrooms. Common areas include living room, kitchen and a full dining room, outdoor living room and pool in the courtyard, and laundry room with a washer and dryer. There are air conditioning units in every room of the house.

We take pride in using non-toxic cleaning supplies, providing a healthier and more natural alternative, while being just as effective to synthetic-based conventional cleaners.

We are making efforts towards water conservation in La Paz. We are adopting water-efficient technologies, growing mostly native vegetation in our decorative gardens, promoting responsible water usage, and building urban rainwater capture basins.

Finally, we provide canvas grocery bags you can use in your trips to the local stores, farmer’s and fish markets.

The Neighborhood:
Casa Abuelita lies in the heart of old La Paz, one block from the Malecón and one block from the Cathedral and the central plaza.
La Paz’s finest restaurants are within a block or two. Within strolling distance, you can find two traditional Mercados where you can buy fresh fish, meats, and vegetables.

The neighborhood is bustling at nighttime, perfect for groups who'd love to explore La Paz after hours. Beloved bars such as La Mezcalería, La Coyota Pizza Bar, and many more are right across the street, so please keep in mind it can be a quite noisy and busy atmosphere on the weekends and holidays.

If you want to stay in a dynamic neighborhood this is the best option for you!

Getting Around:
From the airport: You can take a taxi or rent a car.*

To the boardwalk , restaurants, bars, downtown and main square where the cathedral and plaza are located, the farmer´s market, municipal market and supermarket: All are at walking distance to the outlying beaches: You can drive, or take a taxi, or a tour. If you take a taxi, do not forget to arrange your return or ask him to wait for your.*

General Notes:
•You can take the public bus one block from the house.
•And you can take UBER to go to everywere (except the airport).

*We can make arrangements with reliable drivers without extra costs.

Other Things to Note:
Casa Abuelita is located in the most central block in La Paz, across the street from the wonderful Mezcaleria, which is one of the city’s main attractions. On weekends, there tends to be a lot of activity in the neighborhood at night, so you can hear music and conversations coming from the restaurant next door, the street, and the Mezcalería.

My name is Monica. I grew up in Ciudad Obregon, Sonora, and have lived La Paz for the last six years. During that time, I've grown roots into the community through educational programs and efforts to advance environmental conscience in the form of organic gardens, recycling, and sustainable water-management practices.
