Casa Lola is a comfortable oasis in the vibrant city of Merida. Our elegant home has numerous antiques and vintage curios from around the globe as well as amenities like high speed internet and cable tv with English chanels to make your stay comfortable and convenient. You will love Casa Lola. The house is close to numerous restaurants, like Apoala and Amaro, and the Gastronomic row of restaurants on Calle 49 just to name a few, and within 2 minutes walk, you can find wonderful Yucatecan, Thai and Italian food. Take a cooking class with International chefs and learn how to make the wonderful food. The shops are amazing and you'll delight in finding lots of wonderful treasures. The most wonderful thing, other than the architecture of Merida, is the people. It is like going back in time in Merida, with warm wonderful friendly people in a safe incredible city, and yet its very sophisticated. SO much to explore in the Yucatan, and Merida is a wonderful base to do that. We fell in love with Merida and you will too.

Please note that most vacation rental homes in Merida often charge extra for electricity to cover the use of the Air Conditioning. The reason is that excessive use can bump the electric bill up to a high charge rate where it remains for months. We do have a pre-occupation with energy consumption, and we are trying to do our part, while at the same time, being fair to our guests. You will not be charged for the 1st - 25 kw of electricity useage per day on average (based on the length of your stay) Excess consumption of over 25 kw per day average based on your length of stay, will be charged and paid by the guest at a rate of 4mxn/kw. The meter will be read on your check-in, and then again on your check-out, and the property management team will collect the electricity overcharge in pesos should there be one. The charge is also to deter guests from switching the air conditioning on day and night when they are out of the house. Please turn off the AC when you leave the house. This is very much appreciated, and in doing this, you may have 'free' electrical up to 25kw per day which is average usage. We do hate to charge anything, but knowing how the energy usage can increase the electrical charge, we feel this is the fairest way for everyone, and helps us do our part.

Take an Uber to Soriana, Walmart, Super Aki, or Chedraui for groceries, or just walk to Santiago parque to the market for fresh veggies. You can pick up coffee and snacks etc at the local Santiago Super Aki as well.

Please enjoy our home. We do have a small library of books, and some games and a Smart TV for those rainy days. We do include cleaning 1x per week, and also a gardener, and a pool cleaning 1x per week.
Enjoy Merida, and Casa Lola.
