Amazing location
In the late fall of 2022, I had an opportunity to visit the home but for only a few hours. I left feeling inspired and awestruck by the beauty of the home and wanted to plan my return. I returned recently and was able to spend a week with my wife and a friend there. The home is so very unique and beautiful. The owner was easy to connect with through the app and we had no issues at all both planning or during our stay. Would HIGHLY recommend this property!

Gorgeous Home
As others have said, this home is nothing short of amazing! The host is very helpful and close by in case you need anything. The house is something to behold. From the cute but unassuming outside, you step through the doorway into another time! This colonial era masterpiece is gorgeous! Greg did such a fantastic job on creating a space that is both modern in it's amenities but completely immerses you in a time gone by. There is so much thought put into the details. The private pool with a palapa at the back of the house was really nice and relaxing. Fantastic overall!

Gorgeous, hidden gem
Greg's property is stunning, if a bit eccentric. Hidden behind an unassuming facade on a slightly shabby block is a gorgeous, private, quiet oasis. It is everything the photos on the site show it to be. Greg met us at the property when we checked in and let us know he was next door if we needed anything. The courtyard and backyard with the pool and palapa were lovely, the beds were comfortable and the house was nicely appointed. The open to the sky shower in the master bedroom was my absolute favorite, as you can shower amongst the plants and vines. The property is about six blocks from the Plaza Grande and somewhat further to the touristy Parque Santa Lucia, and it can be a very hot walk in the daytime, but Ubers are very inexpensive in Merida. Our only regret is not having a longer stay with this gorgeous house as a home base.

Restorative Refuge
Arriving at our destination, the dusty streetscape of Merida outside did not hint at the grandeur and fabulous inventiveness of Casa de las Torres inside. From the magnificent entry hall to the fanciful rooftop, the spaces speak of a time past but with contemporary amenities. Clearly much thought and inspiration have gone into creating this relaxing refuge. The reconstruction employed local artisans whose skills were passed down in families. Our extended family group of four gathered morning and night in the main high-ceilinged rooms, including the kitchen, dining room and sitting area. Doors opened to the pool, with lush greenery visible from the pool area on one side and the central courtyard on the other. And that pool and cabana were a welcome place to cool off and nap following a full day in Merida or its environs of Mayan ruins and cenotes for swimming. We never needed the air conditioners. Coffee in the morning and libations at night were enjoyed on the rooftop, accessed by the spiral staircase. The sounds of tropical birds only added to the general magic of the place. Greg was an attentive but not intrusive host. We would definitely return to Casa de las Torres if our travels bring us back to the Yucatan.
