I have stayed in vacation rentals around the world and I must say Casa Lola ranks in the top 10. Its comfortable, clean, beautiful, and has great energy. Everything is well thought out to make your stay enjoyable. The check-in and out process was easy. Communication with our host was super helpful and responsive. Keep up the good work! I will book again.

Lovely property in a great location. The house is excellently managed and maintained.

Lovely historic town house with a pool. Fantastic location - close to everything. Spent 7 days here and hired a car for 2 days to visit Campeche and Uxmal. Very happy with everything. Host very helpful and communicative. Can highly recommend.

Casa Lola is a bit of Paradise. The high ceilings, floor-to-ceiling French doors, elegant grillwork, charming decorations, and romantic lighting create an enchanting ambiance. The pool and garden are lovely. The French Bakery, Escargot, is just a block over and that became our little second home in Merida. The owner and property managers could not be nicer. For us, it was a sort of writers' retreat. We did our writing on the terrace, took dips in the pool, and went out for dinner in the evenings. We could not have been happier with this experience.

This is a beautiful house perfectly located in Merida Centro. Host was prompt to reply to any questions.

Fully equipped home in a great location less than 10 minute walk to main square. It was a bit noisy since it was on a busy road, but quiet in the evenings for sleep. The pool was a great size, not a plunge pool. You could actually swim in it. The house was filled with beautiful Mexican decor. Only the bedrooms are air conditioned.

Casa Lola had everything we needed and was well situated relative to Merida center. This is a very comfortable home with interesting antiques, nice high ceilings and a perfect private pool! This is a perfect layout for one or two couples. I’ll stay again for sure!!

Beautiful place with beautiful furnishings.The pool was a real game changer for us.The gas pressure to the stove needs increasing.

We could not have asked for a better place

We loved our stay here. It was so beautiful and very central to the most beautiful parts of the city. The property manager was wonderful and responsive.

Completely satisfied with our stay. Would stay here again and have already recommended to friends. ---Pros: 1- Location is perfect. Most everything in the city is within walking distance. We used our car only for out-of-town excursions. Parking spot was also set-up for us! 2- Property is amazing. It's more than I expected. Great lay out. Space is plenty and thought-through. Fun decor. 3- Property manager was very* responsive throughout or stay 4- Tech: good smartTV, WiFi, Stereo, etc. 5- Kitchen: Equipped! Actually. Minus dull-knives and perhaps lack of storage containers for extended stays, this is the best kitchen we've had in some time... maybe ever. 6- Pool: perfect temperature. 4.5? feet deep. Regularly serviced. Easily fits of family for lounging. 7- Thoughtful planning for guests: beach towels, guest book (needs updated), labels, maps, books, schedules (gardener, cleanings, etc), parking, etc. ---LessThanPros (these were not 'problems' but if you want the full picture): 1- Mosquitos were an issue in the second bedroom. Once this was identified, some bug spray & PJ pants solved the issue. 2- Beds are comfy... enough. No pain or discomfort, but we were happy to be back on ours. 3- Check-in/Check-out: the actual process* was easy. Super easy. But I had to 'track down' property manager the day of arrival because I hadn't received check-in info. None of these are deal-breakers for me -- at all. But I find that different things matter to different people :) You won't regret staying at Casa Lola. Not even a little bit. In fact, once you get to know the city a little, I'm sure you'll be glad* you scored Lola.

The property is beautiful and well maintained, the pool is wonderful and there are lots of great restaurants, markets and other attractions within easy walking distance. Even though it’s in the heart of the city, the high walls and foliage make it feel like a private oasis. Every time we had a question, the manager or owner’s response was very quick and helpful.

We really appreciate Janis' support as we were repeatedly delayed by Covid restrictions. We finally had a great holiday in the lovely Casa Lola. Great location for central Merida. Liz, the property manager and her team were excellent to deal with.

The property description is very accurate. Ceiling fans throughout and both bedrooms have quiet a/c if needed as well. House is beautifully decorated with solid furniture, lovely Mayan textiles, good walk-in showers and comfortable beds. Once inside, the ambiance is like a retreat. Patio walls are high, so there is great privacy. The small school next door was not in session at this time. As Merida is the Yucatán, here may be mosquitoes at various times of the year, so recommend bringing insect repellant. I would definitely stay here again when in Merida.

Wonderful house with arty ambience. Close to centro and a very responsive host

Casa Lola is strategically located in safe walking distance to many neighborhoods of Merida. The photos on-line are an accurate representation of this beautifully decorated and well appointed property. The property manager was quick to respond to our questions prior to and during our stay. High marks go to the owners' excellent taste in decorating. We would most definately stay at this location again.

Would revisit again

This beautiful home is exquisitely furnished and very comfortable. We used the refreshing pool daily! We really enjoyed the food and market at the nearby Santiago Mercado. Also very close to the main Plaza. Property manager was awesome and always available. We want to return soon!

Lovely home with great location near city center, cathedral, markets and shopping

We had the most relaxing stay in this calm and beautiful setting. The backyard provides a peaceful respite from the hustle and bustle of daily life in Merida. The house is large, airy and comfortable. Our only complaint is that the showers need to be modernized - the shower heads themselves are too high up on the wall and it is difficult to direct them. Lots of hot water though. Property management is very responsive and dealt with minor issues quickly. Overall, a delightful stay!

There were for of us (2 couples) starting for a week in Merida. The location could not have been better. Blocks from the different squares with music, restaurants,street vendors and more! Liz was the best. She answered text quickly, arranged for a taxi to the airport and made a great recommendation for car rental (Veloz on calle 60 was awesome). The pool was very refreshing after a day out. He aware of the electricity bill on the last day, which was very reasonable (654 pesos fo f 6 days of running fans and air conditioning). Hot water and shower water pressure was excellent as well. We would definitely stay here again.

Casa Lola is beautiful and the property management team makes everything simple and comfortable. We stayed for almost 3 weeks and loved hanging out at home by the pool. If this place is available you should book it asap.

Great home in El Centro Merida architectural design is classic colonial and well executed. Buildings are built to property lines and Casa Lola uses skylights, lights wells and courtyard to make this a well lit gem. The tile floors are beautiful and elegant, Well equipped and functional kitchen with indoor and outdoor dining options make this very livable. Air conditioning and ceiling fans keep the home comfortable as Merida is a very warm area. The high ceilings make the large rooms seem even larger. Local staff was very responsive and helpful, Location close to many of the squares and parks and historic Paseo del Montejo, many great restaurants within easy walking distance. Would definitely recommend to friends and family and book for any future return.

Great location. Pool was perfect for the hot Merida afternoons. We will be back!

The house shows like a model home. I was surprised of the rules where it required us to clean our dishes yet charges a cleaning fee. The beds were not comfortable, and we left a day early because of the back issues the bed created for myself and my wife. The house is not children friendly with the second room located outside of the main house. Fortunately, there was a blow up mattress. There was also many easy to break items located through out the house. Other than that, we loved the look of the house and the location.

We have made many trips to Merida and have stayed in perhaps six or more different houses. I would say this one is the best.............it is a great house and such a fabulous location if you want to take advantage of all the downtown activities and restaurants. Also the management team is by far the best I have encountered in Merida. Extremely responsive and attentive to all details. I have to mention the house decor. I don't think I can adequately describe it and you won't believe it when you see it. They have collected all kinds of wonderful items.....I honestly don't know that I saw everything that is in the house. It just defies words. Also very safe area, Street is quiet at night. Like all the other reviews have said, this house is first class!

The house is comfortable, beautifully decorated, and within walking distance of almost everything! We did have some challenges with the washing machine and no hot water on our last morning.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Casa Lola. The house is on a bus line but we barely noticed inside. The back patio and dip pool is where one can truly relax after spending fun in the heart of the historic central district! The appointments are very nice...they have done a great job of mixing the old with new, and melding cultures in their decorating. (so nice to have comfortable furniture in the salon!) We had a great time there and would recommend this house as an excellent place for up to 2 couples. My reason for not awarding a full 5 stars is due to not clearly realizing the cost of 2 incidentals...although small, it did seem as nickle and diming: I would like to point out that if you are not staying a full week, you will be paying an additional $10-$12usd for parking on the next block. It seems to be in vogue to charge extra for the electric bill at Merida transient rentals. I find it hard to believe that the electricity in Yucatan State is so much more than is is in Quintana Roo. I get that summer months use a lot of ac but they seem to manage just fine elsewhere. Like I said, these are small disqualifiers but thought I would note them. If you haven't been to Merida, make your reservation now...you will love it!

Casa Lola (CL) treated our family to a restful and relaxing 4 nights. Clean, well maintained and managed, we were very happy about our choice and alternative to a hotel, in beautiful historic Merida. As a young family of 4, our two kids (18 months and 4) by foot and baby carriers soaked up the old-town during a beautiful time of year. We spent a lot of time in the home while visiting and found CL very comfortable. CL supported our cooking (breakfast) and rests during the day. We had quiet and restful sleeps at night. Thanks to Liz and Janis (the owner) for your help and advise ahead of and during our stay. Janis, your home is a gem with the different antiques we wondered how many trips you must've taken to get some of them there. My personal favorites are the horse hitching posts. My wife and I highly recommend this property to families. We hope to come back in the future when our girls are older. Merida, its people and CL has left an impact on us. A few points for those staying at CL: -Additional electricity charge is minimal. $10 for us. -Took about 5 minutes to run water for hot showers/dishes. Run pump in am for 10 minutes to get water for the day. -Lockbox out front holds keys to get in (was not there when we arrived but was soon resolved) and when leaving -Calle 66 can be car busy. Noise is limited to front room morning rush hour) and we found the back part of the house very peaceful. These noises did not bother us. -Proximity to central square, markets, Paseo is 15 minutes by foot. -Lots of restaurants, Good take out Pizza on Calle 57 around the corner -Cars parked out front of CL on the street overnight. Calle 64 and Calle 59 has daytime parking. -24 hour parking on Calle 62 at Calle 57 (beside La Chaya Maya). Very clean. -Pool is not heated but its refreshing after a hot day of sightseeing. Pool cleaners came one afternoon while we were in the residence at no disruption to us.

Spacious and exotic feelings in the courtyard next to the pool. Ceiling fans throughout create a breeze where the need for air conditioners is forgotten. Fully stocked kitchen. Ample bath and beach towels. Purified water available in the kitchen for drinking and coffee. Location was excellent allowing walks to markets and restaurants. Irregular for HomeAways but totally normal for Merida’s homeaway is a small electricity charged for you actual use. This was about $20US per day. But totally offset by very reasonable nightly rates. Wish we could have stayed another 2-3 weeks. Thanks for a 6 Star HomeAway vacation.

A stay at Casa Lola is a special treat. Every aspect of the home is beautiful. We loved the pool area - and the soft sound of children playing was an added bonus. Book this house now and you will not be disappointed.
