About this property
Stay in Mérida's Grand Colonial Mansion w/ Private Pool
- Experience the grandeur of old Mérida from your own private colonial mansion. Behind its historic doors awaits one of the city's most remarkable homes—a beautifully restored 1880s hacienda-era mansion where soaring ceilings, lush tropical courtyards, a sparkling private pool, and a rare rooftop bell tower create an unforgettable experience. Located in Mérida's charming La Ermita neighborhood, you're just an easy 15-minute walk from Plaza Grande, historic landmarks, exceptional restaurants, cafés, museums, and the city's vibrant cultural life.
Guests consistently describe Grand Colonial Mérida as one of the most unique places they have ever stayed. Many say the home is even more impressive in person than the photographs suggest and that their only regret was not staying longer.
Originally built during Yucatán's golden age by a prominent hacienda owner, the mansion has been lovingly restored to preserve its remarkable architecture while providing every modern comfort. Original pasta tile floors, soaring hand-hewn beamed ceilings, graceful arches, antique doors, handcrafted masonry, and carefully curated period furnishings create the feeling of stepping into another era without sacrificing today's conveniences.
Designed for families, couples traveling together, wedding guests, special celebrations, and extended stays, the home offers three spacious bedrooms, three full bathrooms, multiple indoor and outdoor living areas, and abundant space to gather or enjoy quiet moments of your own.
At the heart of the property, lush tropical gardens surround a private swimming pool, creating a peaceful oasis hidden within the city. Begin your mornings with coffee beneath the palms, spend warm afternoons cooling off in the pool, and end the day with a glass of wine as the evening breeze drifts through the courtyards.
One of the home's most distinctive features is its rooftop bell tower, a rare architectural treasure offering panoramic views across Mérida's historic skyline. Watch spectacular sunsets, listen to church bells echo through the city, and enjoy a perspective that few visitors ever experience. Throughout the rooftop terraces you'll find intimate spaces perfect for conversation, reading, or simply soaking in the beauty of old Mérida.
While the home celebrates the craftsmanship of the 19th century, it also provides everything needed for a relaxing modern stay, including air conditioning throughout, high-speed Wi-Fi, a dedicated office and media room, a fully equipped kitchen, filtered drinking water, washer and dryer, comfortable indoor and outdoor gathering spaces, and everything needed for both short visits and extended stays.
Grand Colonial Mérida is located in the historic La Ermita neighborhood, one of the city's most authentic and picturesque districts. Guests love the peaceful residential setting that offers a welcome escape from the noise and traffic of the busiest tourist areas while remaining within easy walking distance of Mérida's historic center. Restaurants, cafés, markets, museums, galleries, and cultural attractions are all nearby, making it easy to explore the city on foot or by inexpensive Uber.
Mérida is widely regarded as one of Mexico's safest and most welcoming cities, celebrated for its beautifully preserved colonial architecture, exceptional cuisine, rich cultural traditions, and relaxed pace of life.
There are many beautiful homes in Mérida, but few offer the opportunity to stay in a grand 19th-century colonial mansion with such remarkable architectural detail, expansive living spaces, tropical courtyards, a private pool, and a rooftop bell tower. More than simply a vacation rental, Grand Colonial Mérida is an experience—one that guests describe as peaceful, inspiring, unforgettable, and unlike anywhere they have ever stayed.
We look forward to welcoming you and helping you create unforgettable memories in Mérida and the Yucatán.
