Cadogan Guides

"Part of the old 17th-century convent building behind the church of Santa Lucia was transformed into an art gallery a few years ago, but is now the home of American Madeline Parmet. The beautifully shady old house is huge, and within it there are several fully-equipped apartments with kitchens. There's also a small pool, but nevertheless she lets them go at exceptional prices. A real home away from home, it's ideal for settling in and enjoying a completely hassle-free stay, especially if you are planning on staying a while; a range of activities and wellbeing treatments -- massage and health therapies, Spanish courses--are also available."
 


Hunter Travel Guide- Yucatán Cancun, Cozumel

"What began as a health retreat in the middle of the Colonial heart of Merida, right next to the Santa Lucia church, has matured into an excellent place to spend a longer term -- even if you're not interested in their weight loss, holistic health or spa offerings. Well-appointed, one-bedroom studios or two-bedroom apartments have been built in a Colonial building with plenty of comfortable sitting and meditation areas. There's a small backyard pool and an overall feeling of tranquility. Check out the cat's paw prints in the cement steps leading to the second floor."
