About this house rental

Casa Serena has all of the colonial charm you expect in a fully-renovated home in the heart of Merida's Centro.  It is located only steps away from Merida's English Library, a local hub for expat gathering and activities.

This colonial home is ideally situated for exploring the nearby art galleries, parks, historic churches, and museums but also close to the local shops, cafés, and culinary restaurants for which Merida has become famous.

Welcoming you as you enter the foyer of the home are high wood-beamed ceilings, restored antique doors, pasta tiled floors and large open spaces.  You will find this comfortable home tastefully decorated with unique Mexican artwork collected by the owner adorning the walls and tables throughout.  Just off the foyer, you will find the first of three well appointed bedrooms with ensuite baths. The home sleeps 6 persons.  Next is a comfortable living room for unwinding by reading, listening to music, or watching the cable television. This leads to both the inside dining room and the kitchen. The column-lined kitchen is the center of the home and effortlessly meshes with the exterior courtyard, pool, and exterior dining room which surround it.  The modern kitchen is fully-equipped to fulfill all of your needs during your stay and features a breakfast bar for gathering or eating. There is even a grill by the pool for further cooking needs.

The exterior spaces of this home, which feature tropical flowering and fruit-bearing plants, are where most guests end up relaxing when not exploring the historic city or nearby Mayan pyramids, museums and cenotes.  In addition to the 6 ft. by 15 ft. filtered pool in the center courtyard, there are two additional rooftop terraces to enjoy.  Perched above the kitchen is a just completed, bedroom suite which overlooks the pool below and has its own bathroom.  Past the pool, secluded at the rear of the property, is the separate master suite and bath.  This bedroom is the perfect place to catch up on any well-deserved sleep.

Casa Serena has a long history of providing its guests with a centrally located retreat in the middle of historic Merida.

This has been one of the most interesting experiences in my travels so far! The architecture, planning and how all works together just blows my construction mind in pieces. Simple solutions that work extremely well in this hot and humid climate. Aside from that the place is super clean, quiet, comfortable and close to everything. The semi outdoor kitchen is very well stocked up so you can create the most difficult meals after. No need for A/C but the pool is a blessing! Many thanks tho the host and super attentive DH team!!!! This has been remarkable experience!

Our family of four fell in love with Casa Serena! The house is more beautiful even than the photos - we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking (buy your own groceries though), and the plunge pool made for relaxing afternoons and evenings. The location is excellent - we walked everywhere and loved seeing Mérida this way. We would definitely stay here again!

WiFi info they sent didn’t work but we figured it out eventually. AC in main room didn’t have a remote that worked so we had to use the one for the bedroom next to the main room. Bedrooms were huge and the AC worked great in each room. Just keep the doors closed and it cools off quickly. The kitchen has no AC but that was fine because we didn’t cook. The keys to the place were a bit persnickety but my husband used some oil to remedy that. Felt very safe all over Mérida and we walked a lot. Found some nice out of the way places to eat. Remember, as nice as the place is, it IS Mexico. You can’t put toilet paper in the toilets…. Parts of the home are open air. We were happy with it though!

This is a beautifully restored and well-kept house and the photos do it justice- though we missed the outside dining table. Communication with the management team was excellent and a small problem was fixed very quickly. The location was good for walking to most of the places of interest and to many restaurants. The lack of a nearby grocery store was a drawback, especially if you don’t have a car. It would have been great to have a few groceries provided rather than having to search for a restaurant after a long flight. We would certainly recommend the property for peaceful stay right in the heart of Merida.
