La Ermita de Santa Isabel is often used as a natural background in the film
industry. The popular Mexican Novela, “Abismo De Pasion” was filmed
regularly just out the front door. Now, for the first time in over a century, this amazing property is available to be enjoyed as a vacation home. From the moment you drive up the cobble stone street in front of one of Merida’s historic churches, to the moment you step inside the door - something magical happens & you know you are truly somewhere special

The space
Escalera al Cielo is an architectural showcase in Centro that's designed to enhance your vacation experience while in Merida. This is the ONLY private vacation home that fronts any of Merida's beautiful historical parks & churches! The main home allows guest the ultimate privacy by placing the master suite upstairs. The master is furnished with a king size bed and has it's own bathroom. Additional guest also have their privacy by enjoying the casita which is positioned at the rear of the property. The casita is furnished with 2 queen beds and has it's own private bathroom.

Guest access
Enjoy the lush garden patio in the morning as the tropical birds fly over head and have your first cup of coffee. Or dine under the stars in one of the many outside areas of this incredible home. With this open floor plan there is never a lack of a breeze anytime of day. And just to make sure you rest comfortably, all bedrooms are equipped with air conditioning. Don't forget the pool is always an inviting place to relax after a busy day, whether exploring the city or ancient Mayan ruins! And for those of us who need stay connected to reality, WiFi is provided so you can stay up to date or turn on the 55 inch smart TV and catch the latest show on your Netflix account. 2021 UPDATE - Since this is the only private vacation home that fronts any of Merida Centro's beautiful historical churches & squares, we have made the rooftop terrace accessible so that our guest can comfortably relax and take in the evening breezes! Enjoy the amazing vista of the 17th century church directly in front of the home, La Ermita De Santa Isabel!

Other things to note
We love children, but personally having small children ourselves - we can tell you this home is NOT suitable for the kiddos. There are balconies, a 17 foot high metal staircase with open treads and no pool fence or pool alarms on the doors. We want you to enjoy your vacation, so for your own sanity, please no toddlers or smaller children!
