Casa Malfini

GabyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
The house is beautiful, we loved it! The house is large, making it very comfortable for groups of more than 5 people. The cleanliness in all areas was exceptional. The decoration is really nice, it really invites you to spend time inside the accommodation. We really enjoyed the terrace. The house is very close to Santa Lucía Park and Paseo Montejo, so it was very easy to get around on foot or by Uber. The hosts are super attentive and kind.

Casa Pam, with Swimming Pool

MiinaRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Lovely home - you can tell the owners created this home for themselves, it has high quality furnishings and appliances, and is very comfortable and so pretty. Fast reliable wifi, a well equipped kitchen you can really cook in, powerful ACs and large dip pool to cool off in. A couple of things weren’t working well but Jacky was super responsive and got them quickly fixed. The showers run out of hot water if you take too long — this is quite common here. The kitchen area gets ants so I always wiped everything down thoroughly — this is also common in Merida. I miss this house and am planning a return.

The entire stay at the accommodation was very pleasant, the place matched the photos and description, it was clean, it had the amenities mentioned. We really slept very comfortably. The neighborhood is quiet and safe. And there were many places to eat around, and it was a good starting point to visit the different tourist destinations. If I went back on vacation, it would be a place I would look for again to stay. Thank you for the good stay.

Your guide to Merida

All About Mérida

Sprawling plazas, jewel toned turn-of-the century architecture, vibrant music scenes, and mouthwatering dishes are just a few of the things that await you in the historic city of Mérida. Located roughly 3.5 hours west of Cancún, Yucatán’s capital city immerses you in the peninsula’s rich culture by giving you a peek into life beyond its quintessential white sand beaches.

Enjoy the peace provided by shady palm trees and cool stone benches in the many plazas splattered across town. Take in the sights, smells, and unforgettable tastes of Lucas de Galvéz market, with its stalls piled high with fresh tropical fruits and the aroma of fried panuchos (tortillas with beans, pulled meat, and pickled cabbage). The food scene here is different from anything you’ll find in the rest of the country, due to its strong Spanish, Mayan, and Caribbean influences.

And if you’re looking for day trip ideas, neighboring UNESCO World Heritage sites Chichen Itza and Uxmal make Mérida the perfect base for exploring the abundance of culture Yucatán has to offer.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Merida

Your best bet to enjoy everything Mérida has to offer without worrying about rainy weather would be to book your apartment rental from October to March, with January being considered the high season. June to September boasts warm weather as well, but be warned it can be relatively humid during this time. Planning your trip for January will give you the chance to take part in Mérida Fest. A lively festival lasting several weeks, the city’s eponymous celebration commemorates its founding by reveling in local art, music, and theatre. It’s also worth taking a look at whichever dates Carnaval happens to fall (typically right before Lent), as Yucatan’s capital promises to be one of the most popular in Latin America.


Top things to do in Merida

Cenotes

Coming from the Mayan word dzenot meaning “sacred well”, these spellbinding pools are a refreshing respite from the hustle and bustle of city life. No two cenotes are alike, with some providing a fully open-air experience surrounded by greenery while others have a closed top, creating a more cave-like or grotto feel. With over 6,000 cenotes across the peninsula, you are sure to find one that feels just right.

Pok Ta Pok

Every Saturday, locals gather to watch one of the oldest sporting games in the province for free. Pok Ta Pok — an ancient ritual of the Maya people to honor their gods and give thanks — consists of getting a 9-pound rubber ball through a hoop on the wall using only your thighs or hips. The sport has gained popularity in recent years and pays homage to the city’s history.

Cochinita pibil

Contemporary Yucatecan cooking combines Mayan flavors with Spanish and Cuban influences, creating mouthwateringly unique dishes that will stay with you long after your tan has faded. While you’re here, try cochinita pibil, a dish that encapsulates this fusion of flavors — pork is marinated in fresh orange juice with annatto seeds and achiote paste, then wrapped in banana leaves and slow-cooked in a fire pit until the meat becomes fall-off-the-bone tender.
