It was my first time to Merida. My husband had been here with a humanitarian group 10 years ago and wanted to go back. Merida is an interesting place. The streets can look old and then have beautiful homes behind this older street scape, which actually adds to the character and charm of the area. We had a great time here and the home was above and beyond our expectations. It’s beautifully decorated and we especially enjoyed hanging out in the screened in porch area that overlooks the pool and eating breakfast and planning out our day there. The two casita bedrooms next to the pool were so pretty and comfortable and the landscaping was beautiful. Merida is a very safe and clean city and we walked everyday and evening to a new restaurant in the city centre or to shops, historic homes, churches etc. We even extended our trip because the home was so wonderful and we were enjoying Merida and the surrounding area so much! Thank you so much Sylvie and Clay for sharing your home, we loved

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Casa de Luna Nueva. The house was spacious and very comfortable. The pool area was a great place to spend time— a beautiful garden with shaded areas and wonderfully cool water no matter how hot the day had been. The pictures were very much true to what the house is like. Sylvie and Clay were very attentive and friendly. Great hosts. The neighborhood where the house is located is a bit further away from the main attractions and restaurants, but once you get your bearings it is manageable. Also, Uber works very well in Merida. We highly recommend the Casa de Luna Nueva.

Let me start with how beautiful the house was. Everyone loved it. I really didn't want to leave. Sylvie was a great host who answered any and all questions I had. She also offered a list of near by places to visit while in town which was very helpful. I would definitely stay here again when I come back.

We absolutely loved this place! The house is beautiful and even more stunning than it looks in the photos. It’s very close to downtown, making it the perfect location. It was absolutely worth the price, and we would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend! ⭐️

If anything the description and photos of the house are understated .. it is absolutely stunning with so much care and attention gone into the restoration. It is such a lovely space to be in it sometimes made it difficult to leave and go and explore Merida! Having wandered around the town or day trips outside of Merida it was always so nice to return and relax in Casa Luna Nueva. Sylvie was a great host, always incredibly prompt, helpful and friendly. We stayed for 5 days and loved our time in Merida.

A perfect stay. Hosts Sylvie and Clay were friendly, responsive and gave us lots of good local tips. The house was stunning and immaculate with everything you could want and more. Mérida had a great vibe and the market at the end of the street was great for groceries. Wish we had booked a longer stay!

We had an absolute wonderful stay. We came to celebrate a wedding in Merida and this was the perfect place for us. The best part about it was a wonderful pool area which really helped us beat the heat – the setting was so beautiful and it was so nice to be able to have such a beautiful oasis to come and rest in. Sylvie was so quick to respond to any questions or concerns that we had everything was taken care of so beautifully. Thank you.

We were there for 8 days and the house is amazing. It's really worth it. The location is great, and when I have the chance to return with a friend and family, I would definitely stay in the same house.

Wonderful home in a great neighborhood. HUGE - even bigger than described/expected. A little big strange layout (2 bedrooms outside/behind the pool, only 1 bathroom in the main house), but worked great. Sylvie was very helpful and responsive. Everything was super clean, worked well and was very comfortable.
