Loved it!

This is a lovely home with so much character. It is so conveniently close to everything we needed and wanted to see. The bedroom is so quiet and cool with the air conditioning on at night. It is so hot here right now so the lovely dipping pool saved us from too much discomfort. Great restaurants and shopping in this area. I would stay here again and can highly recommend it.

Great place and location

This is an amazing place. Old house with amazing details. Close to downtown and near Mercado Santiago. My favorite place. I’d stay again at Tim’s house. Tim was very responsive and attentive.

Spacious and beautiful!

We were really happy with our stay here. The location was excellent and it was an easy walk to anywhere in centro, including the Grand Plaza, and even the Paseo de Montejo. The rooms were large and tastefully decorated, the pool and patio area were a nice, comfortable place to relax in the middle of the day or evening, and the rooftop patio was a real bonus! I'd definitely recommend it!!

About the host

Hosted by Tim Ghirardelli

Formerly from the San Fransisco Bay Area, I'm fascinated by ancient advanced cultures worldwide and the megalithic structures they leave behind. While visiting Merida for the first time in 2003 to discover the contributing role of the Maya, I was hooked and came back to discover even more...

Why they chose this property

It's always a pleasure to see the evolving food, art, music, people and cultural scene--there is so much here to experience. You can feel the history and explore the many fascinating Archeological and natural wonders nearby. It's great knowing Casa La Barenda is an easy day-trip from many areas on the planet, yet it's a world away! Being able to walk to everything in the Centro Historico and only twenty minutes from Merida’s international airport makes it a snap to go.

What makes this property unique

Guests love the walk-to-everything lifestyle and the relaxing feel of the home. Experience the leisurely pace with comfortable furniture and colonial features decorated with a blend of antiques and local artwork. You'll decompress here in no time with the indoor/outdoor lifestyle. Chill around the plunge pool, warm your bones at the rooftop lounge and gently swing away in handmade hammocks. The casa feels good and travelers and friends think enough to return. Hopefully Casa La Barenda and Merida surrounds will bring a smile and pleasure to your stay too.
