Casa del Azahar is a breezy oasis in the historic center of Merida. The house maintains its original architectural features of the original construction, such as beamed high ceilings, carved wooden doors, pasta tile floors, and original façade, while integrating the openness, sense of space and light of modern Mexican architecture. The house features three air-conditioned bedrooms, two baths, and an office with a pull-out couch. The living room, kitchen and dining room open up onto a brick and slate patio, landscaped with native plants and flowers. A natural rock-bottom pool, filled by a real underground cenote, and a gurgling fountain provide a refreshing afternoon break, and a relaxing back-drop in the evening for meals and entertaining.

The house’s interior features originally designed, simple furniture handmade by a local craftsman, combined with pieces salvaged locally, as well as elements brought or influenced by travels elsewhere. Casa del Azahar is ideal as both a family getaway, and for a working vacation.
