About the host
Hosted by Sharon Acton
I traveled to Merida for eight years before I purchased my Merida home. I loved the colonial city and wanted to spend more than a few weeks living in such an amazing community. Merida is one of Mexicos great colonial cities and full of magical moments, it is truly the people of the Yucatan that make it such a special place and a forever lasting memory. Enjoy!
Why they chose this property
The city is divided by barios, Santiago is the third Bario development, 1650’s it has been compared to Havana, Cuba. The Santiago Mercado with beautiful fountain and benches nestled beneath tall shade trees and birds chirping allows a moment to feel the pulse of the city. Locals gather here to buy fruits Vegetales, flowers, while also dinning on Mayan cuisine- cochinita pibil, fresh fish tacos, great ice cream. Delicious for both appetites of sight, sound and taste! Tuesday evening is always live music and dance night!
What makes this property unique
The Belle Rive is a grand old colonial casa that the Miami Architect designed to feature the best of the large older homes while maintaining pasta tiles, high 14 foot ceilings, tall doors and windows but added conveniences that give modern comfort. Although the home has air conditioning throughout, when the doors and windows are open it has wonderful breezes throughout the house.
