Beautiful Restored Colonial In Merida Centro – Santa Ana/Paseo Montejo

September Deals: New lower rates and special discounts. Book now!

Welcome to Casa Noel, tucked in the heart of historic Merida Centro. This beautiful colonial home is perfectly located less than two blocks from the many attractions of the Paseo Montejo and the Plaza Grande is an easy ten minute walk away. Three blocks from the house, enjoy the daily market at Santa Ana park. Every day, merchants serve up favorite local foods, souvenirs and services. Santa Ana is also home to numerous art galleries, featuring art in many forms from around the world with a focus on Mexican and Latin American artists.

Hiding behind the simple colonial facade, Casa Noel will quickly become your refuge from the busy city life. The tall entry doors reveal a view through the house to the central courtyard and from there to the rear garden. Traditional high ceilings and pasta tile floors combine with modern touches in a perfect blend of comfort and old Mexico.

The comfortable living room includes a flat screen HD television with cable and dvd player. The cable service includes English language news, sports and movie channels, along with extensive Spanish language selections. Casa Noel is also equipped with high speed wireless internet access.

The dining room with a beautiful antique table and chairs and seating for eight is adjacent to the central courtyard, opening through the original wood archway to this bright and airy space. In the center of the house, this covered and screened center courtyard brings light and breezes to the living spaces. Sit here in the morning at the café table with your coffee and enjoy breakfast to the sounds of birds in the nearby trees.

The all new, much larger and modern kitchen opens off the central courtyard as well. Broad doors and windows bring in cooling breezes and light filtered through the courtyard plantings.

A comfortable sitting room is adjacent to the master bedroom and opens onto a covered outdoor terrace leading to the gardens featuring a pool set amidst beautiful tropical plantings. A refreshing outdoor shower is located near the pool. Enjoy the sun in the garden surrounding the pool, or rest in the shade of the terrace.

The home includes three stunning bedrooms with 17 foot ceilings featuring the original pasta tile floors. New mattresses, ceiling fans and air conditioning in each bedroom assure your comfort. The two large front bedrooms have queen size beds with side tables and storage. The all new master bedroom with king size bed features an en-suite bathroom with a delightful rainfall shower and dual sinks. The bedroom opens onto the quiet rear courtyard through high doors with a view of the pool and gardens, and offers complete privacy from the rest of the house.

Within a block of Casa Noel you will find multiple options for dining out, from a traditional cocina economica, two very special Mexican restaurants and a French cafe which also sells excellent cheeses and wine. Just two blocks away on Paseo Montejo you will find many restaurant and shopping options, along with several interesting museums. The daily Santa Ana market has a broad selection of meats, fresh fruits and vegetables. The modern Walmart is about a five minute walk or short Uber away.

Our local property manager speaks excellent English. She and her staff can arrange nearly any additional service you may need, including transportation, child care, travel information, shopping, massage or a cook. You may want the unique experience of a private cooking lesson for your party focused on local Yucatecan cuisine.

We invite your family to make our home your home in the beautiful colonial heart of Merida and the Yucatan peninsula.

Beautiful spacious traditional house.

Enjoyed our stay very much and particularly appreciated the location. Also, appreciated finding a kitchen that was properly stocked with cooking tools and appliances - even a sharp knife. Note: the pool is small but nice for cooling down and the court may be a little shady for serious sun lovers.

Great place!

My teenage son, who is too cool to be impressed by anything that his parents pick out, kept saying, "THIS is where we're staying?!" Needless to say, he was impressed. And so were we. It's an amazing place. Very comfortable, very clean. The property management team was very pleasant and great to deal with. In short, we loved it!

Casa Noel

The house is beautiful and spacious, with wonderful indoor/outdoor living. Andrea and Jesus were great throughout the process. The location is central to nearby shopping, restaurants. It is about 30 min from the beach and driving distance from Chichen Itza and cenotes. There’s street parking and usually we’re able to park in front of the house.

Great central location

We loved our stay at Casa Noel! It had plenty of space for our family of five to spread out and the pool and terrace was perfect for cooling off. The location is great with easy walking distance to both Plaza Grande (15 minutes) and Paseo Montejo (5-15 minutes, depending on which part) - and so many beautiful sights along the way! Rex was very accommodating to us when we needed a last minute place for an extra night on our trip and a late check in. Would recommend Casa Noel as a great place to explore Merida and the surrounding area from!

Historic home in Centro Merida

Casa Noel was better than presented on VRBO. It is a historic colonial home that retains its charm and character. Clean, comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen. Andrea, Jesus and Gaby were easy to communicate with, quick to respond to questions and very helpful. The home is just blocks away from the Paseo Montejo, 2 local and very good restaurants (Ramero & Le Creama) and walking distance to the Gran Plaza and most sights and markets. We were here for nearly a month and rate Casa Noel as a ten star stay. Thank you Rex, Andrea, Jesus and Gaby!

Perfect Merida base camp

this house is a gem. More beautiful and more spacious than can be appreciated from the photos. We had a most enjoyable stay. The location is only a block and a half from the Paseo de Montejo, and easy walking to all Centro locales. The property managers were prompt and effective communicators. When there was a problem with the washing machine, they had a technician there who fixed it in less than 24 hours. Top notch service. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

It was always wonderful to return to Casa Noel after a day in Merida. The house is really huge and looks even better than the photos. It felt like we were staying in a Merida mansion! Everything worked well. We would highly recommend Cass Noel for a group of friends or a family. The location is quiet but still very convenient - loved it!

Beautiful House in Merida

This house is located two blocks from Paseo Montejo, and 15 minute walk from the main square in the downtoun área. It’s a beautiful colonial style house with double height ceilings and vintage decore. If you want to experience Merida from the guilded age perspective while enjoying everything the city has to offer this is a great choice.

EXCELLENT Location!

We really enjoyed the location and it is just as it says. Important to know in the summer- the AC is only in bedrooms and the rest of the place can get a little warm, but the pool and open airflow for the rest of the place helps. To make the AC work best need to close off rooms as much as possible. Would love to come back when it is not quite so warm in Merida!

Amazing hacienda like experience

Gear stay, pictures don’t go justice to how big and beautiful house is. Great location, it’s so close to restaurants and paseo de montejo which was our favorite part of Merida. Laundry and pool were perfect. Kitchen was well stocked, easy to make quick meals. We also used grill, it was very clean. Showers were good. That said just a heads up, we were there during heat wave so living areas were warm. Bathrooms and kitchen were also warm but we adjusted after a day or two. Other then that we truly enjoyed our stay and we will never forget our vacation in such an amazing house. My kids loved the house so much.

Wonderful Casa!

This is a large, beautiful home styled in traditional Mexican decor. The tile work is beautiful! AC in bedrooms is wonderful, as are the many ceiling and floor fans, so we found the Casa very comfortable despite Merida being very hot everyday, and dipping pool was also a welcome addition. Our flight was delayed, Jesus was available to check us in and out without issue (although we weren’t able to communicate on what’s app for some reason- he saw our emails). Kitchen was stocked well, although we ate at restaurants all the time. There are window screens to keep out mosquitos, which isn’t always the case at other properties. The washing machine and dryer is located in a separate building out back which is nice, but the washer takes a very long time so don’t expect to so quick laundry! Casa Noel’s location is excellent, but blocks are long so bring good shoes and a hat, you’ll be doing a lot of walking! It on a side street, but close to main thoroughfares, and 10-15 min to Parks, and only 5 mins to the famous Paseo de Montejo with all the restaurants and mansions. PIENSA ROSA is newer restaurant in a yellow mansion, with the most fabulous food and live music. Restaurants everywhere are amazing, friendly staff, beautiful ambience, great yukatanean dishes. Shop owners are not pushy at all, like in some other tourist destinations. We did a day tour to Cenote Hacienda Mucuyche, which I highly recommend - buy tickets ahead for English tour. It’s very beautiful and not crowded. Merida is a terrific place to visit, the people are especially lovely and welcoming. We will definitely stay again at Casa Noel when we come back next time, there is more to see and do than we could get done in our 5 days in Merida!

About the host

Hosted by Rex Noel

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

Merida is truly authentic Mexico. The city itself and the surrounding countryside take us back to a more tranquil time when friends and family are more important than.... well, anything. The local people are warm, friendly and welcoming. We wander the streets at all hours in complete safety. And our time here leaves us relaxed and ready to face our busy lives again.

What makes this property unique

The location of Casa Noel is nearly perfect. On a quiet, bus free street, yet very close to so much of the city life that attracted us to Merida. The Paseo Montejo is just two blocks away with numerous restaurants and shops. Our local Santa Ana market offers a true Mexican shopping experience along with many of the services we have needed as homeowners and is just three blocks away. And we are within an easy 15 minute walk of the Plaza Grande yet discreetly removed from the noise and bustle of that area.

And when you choose to remain home and relax, the quiet comfort of our home, gardens and outdoor living spaces will allow you to rest, refresh and recharge.
