This is an amazing property! A soon as you step inside itâs like being welcomed into someoneâs beautiful home. Every detail has been taken care of, the casita is stunningly appointed. It truly must be one of Meridaâs most beautiful residences.The front living room has the most comfortable furniture. Do yourself a favor and put a Czerny piano concerto on the speakers, pour yourself a glass of wine, curl up with a good book (the library is extraordinary) and enjoy the perfect acoustics.Lemeau is the consummate hostess. (You just know she must throw marvelous parties). If you get a chance to meet her, youâll find her fascinating, sheâs quite the raconteuse. The property couldnât be more conveniently located. Thereâs so much to see and do within a short walk. We absolutely loved staying here!
We had a very enjoyable time staying at Lemeauâs stunning colonial house in central Merida. Lush palms, beautiful tiles, Warm and cozy couches, chairs, beds, morning coffee on a roof-top terrace, spending time chillin and enjoying bebidas in a spacious pool area, great location, close to the restaurants of Calle 47, Parque Santa Lucia, a great artisanal bakery called Soco Merida etc. The best thing about staying at Lemeauâs place is Lemeau herself. She is an excellent host and was very attentive to our needs.
The property was lovely with lush gardens, fountains, pools and roof top terraces. It was within walking distance of the main plazas and many restaurants. The owner gave us a warm welcome that included a bottle of wine:).The owner and the staff were very friendly and attentive to our needs.
What a fabulous place. Lemeau is a great hostess and we enjoyed chatting with her. It is truly a remarkable place. The photos donât do it justice. It has fabulous decor.
Itâs a good location. One of the best apts we have rented.
Book it!
Impressive! A treat to stay here for 10 days in February.
This is simply the nicest VRBO of the 20+ Iâve stayed in: spacious, gracious, beautifully furnished with a very well-equipped kitchen. Responsive host. Pleasant rooftop terrace. Restaurants a few blocks away on a new corredor gastronĂłmico.
Casa is on a one-way street used by 4-5 bus lines, so frequent whooshing from passing buses. And no food shopping in easy walking distance. But ample free parking in the street.
We loved our stay at Casa Lemeau! The pictures are accurate as was the description. Lemeau couldn't have been more helpful, suggesting restaurants and places of interest., and ensuring we were comfortable.
The property is stunning and has private outdoor areas. The pool was a welcome respite from sightseeing. The location was really handy for exploring the historical center and Paseo de Montejo. We walked most of the time but taxi's are incredibly reasonable.
We did 3 trips with Lemeau's driver Juan and were thrilled. He is delightful and he arranged very knowledgeable guides at the locations.
We would have appreciated satelliteTV. Netflix was available but only in Spanish. There is an extensive library though.
We highly recommend Merida and Casa Lemeau.
Cozy place with pros and cons. Value/money and privacy could be improved!
Pros:
- Very good location and quiet.
- Very nicely decorated with a private rooftop terrace (and shared mini swimming pool).
- The host is responsive when asked questions and gives recommendation if you ask. Rosalba (the property manager) is helpful, speaks English and uses WhatsApp.
Cons:
- Parking is on the street (so no parking).
- Bedsheets and towels have multiple stains and are old.
- Kitchen utensils are old. Fine for breakfast but no more.
- It lacks privacy. The duplex is part of the hosts house so it can feel like youâre a paying guest a bit and tiptoeing around even if Lemeau makes people very at ease.
This property is a gem in the El Centro area - and was simply fantastic! It is EXACTLY as shown but it is hard for pictures to convey how simply comfortable it is. So easy to feel at home. And what can I say about Lemeau? She is an absolute treasure. We will definitely be back!
Overall we had a wonderful stay at Casa Lemeau. Lemeau is a wonderful host and asked us many times how we were doing. The house is gorgeous and provided us a great place to live and work during our extended time in Merida.
However, there were two things we wish we had known before our stay... This is a property that has workers frequently around. There is a gardener who will come around the property every other day and will be on your rooftop terrace. Also, while we were there there were workers working on the house that we were not informed about. Luckily, the part of the casita you're staying in is locked and you will have your own key but coming home to multiple days having the front door wide open was a bit unsettling. We know that sometimes unexpected issues happen with a house and it was not a big deal but we wish the host had mentioned this to us over a VRBO message at least. The other thing we wish we had known was that there are no blackout curtains in the bedroom and the light from the shared courtyard is quite bright. A few of the lights we were able to turn off but there was one directly across from our bedroom window that we could not so it was very bright in our room all night. We suggest that you bring an eye mask with you.
Overall we would still highly recommend anyone looking to stay at this beautiful casita!
Lemeau was just the most gracious hostess ever ! A great pleasure to be with her & get to know each other better. Thee only place to stay when in Merida .
This is a beautifully decorated, very comfortable and impeccably clean home near the Plaza Grande and Paseo de Montejo. The main bedroom suite includes large closets, a lovely dressing area with ample drawer space, an excellent master bathroom and a view of a gorgeous interior courtyard. The kitchen is well equipped and very user friendly. The roof garden is great for meals, lounging and entertaining guests. It's easy to walk to many local restaurants, art galleries, shops, museums and parks, including Santa Ana, Santa Lucia and the Mejorada. Lemeau is an excellent hostess and is very responsive to any need or question that may arise. Her private driver, Juan, is available for tours and local trips - He is an excellent and reliable driver and a treasure of a person. Rosalba, the housekeeper, is also lovely and helpful. For me, this casita was truly a home away from home.
We have had a marvelous experience at Lemeau's home. The beds are of excellent quality. Truly fully equipped kitchen and bathrooms. Quiet and absolutely clean.
Lemeau's assistance was extremely efficient and helpful in addressing my needs. We cannot wait to come back!!
Thank you Lemeau!

Casa Lemeau has some wonderful benefits of being right in the heart of Centro Merida . no more than 3 to 4 blocks to ST Lucia and 6 excellent restaurants .All close to the festive main Square. the state theater for many concerts and the opera And the same distance to reach the grand Boulevard Paseo Montejo with restaurants, Museums, great houses and nearby Art Galleries .
