About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

300 year old colonial mansion one block from the town square

This beautiful restored Casona was the residence of the first town doctor. The location is excellent being very close to shops and restaurants. Although it's close to the town square once you enter the front door the interior of the property is peaceful due to the 3 foot thick interior walls. The house was restored with the original floor plan and is furnished with custom-made furniture. We have all the modern conveniences and a live-in houseman on the property in private quarters at the extreme back corner of the gardens. Carlos has been in our employ for over 17 years and is able to help you enjoy your visit to Valladolid. The gardens are high maintenance and he spends his days manicuring the tropical plants and maintaining the living quarters as needed. Maximum 6 persons.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. The bathroom offers hair dryers and bidets. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fenced private yard, and a coffee maker.

Amazing property in an interesting city

After many vacations on the coast, our family ventured inland to Valladolid and were greeted by friendly people in a beautiful setting. The hacienda was the crown jewel of the experience, and we wished we'd have booked more nights! The hostess is a joy pointing us towards great food and experiences and even taking our daughter to tend to her rescue dogs to her delight. Highly recommended!

a true vacation

This is our second time staying at Amora Karina because we enjoyed our first stay so much. It was wonderful to return to this extraordinary place, to step off the street into another world of beautiful rooms with historic details and impossibly high ceilings, a private walled garden where we sat under a balcony to enjoy a tropical rainstorm and the birds singing, and a rooftop with an incredible view of Templo de San Servacio, whose bells we could hear ringing. The kitchen is fabulous, and we enjoyed cooking and eating in the garden, and there are so many little touches that add to the experience. Danielle gave us a warm welcome, making us feel like family, and Carlos is friendly and helpful. The location is great, a few blocks from the town square, museums and restaurants, and the cenote and market are about 15 minutes walk away, so easy to shop and swim. We look forward to returning for a third time!

amazing, unique property 1 block from town square

My family of 4 (including 9 yo and 15 yo) had a wonderful, memorable stay at this property. The property is so secluded and calm inside the walls with a beautiful garden and there are so many different parts of the property to enjoy. The home feels very historic / timeless, but many amenities are modern and functional (bathroom fixtures, A/C in all 3 bedrooms, modern washer and dryer, etc). Danielle was incredibly helpful with recommendations - we dined at her restaurant recommendations both nights and both were delicious, and she offered lots of helpful advice when one of the kids didn't feel well. Carlos was kind and helpful and his talent in the landscaping is incredible, but since we don't speak Spanish we were not able to get to know him well. Note that Carlos is in and out regularly in the daytime to check on the property via the homes front door, turn on / off outdoor lights etc. Depending on your preferences this can be excellent or surprising. We always felt safe and while we were there his visits were short and he only attended to the more public spaces (e.g. gardens).

Nice House in a great location but major issues made it not worth the asking price.

That house is wonderful with large spaces and good access to the centre of town. However we had substantial issues with a few important amenities. The upstairs bedroom toilet flush didn't work for the entire stay. The wifi doesn't work anywhere except the main bedroom. I recommend a wifi extender in the house. Basic amenities like a kettle and microwave were not provided. It made cooking in the house harder. Danielle is a nice host with great communication and tried to assist but I would check for the above basic amenities before staying here again, not worth the price.

This was such a wonderful stay! From the impeccable design, beautiful gardens, and historical relevance (this house belonged to the first town doctor), Casa Amore Carina was an amazing, one of a kind experience. We were all taken with the beauty, hospitality, and comfort of this stay. A big thanks to Danielle, the host, who took care of all our needs and wants, and went above and beyond with daily recommendations. Also, thank you Carlos!

Incredibly gorgeous estate!

This place was jaw dropping! The art, soaring ceilings, antique furniture, and most lush gorgeous yard and courtyard. You have to see it to believe it. We loved it SO much and wished we booked an additional night here. The host, Daniella, was so kind and gracious, giving good food recommendations and going out of her way to be helpful in every way. There is no A/C in the living room or dining room, but it’s worth being a bit warm to experience this incredible house and relax on the beauful patio area overlooking the potted plants, large trees, and ancient walls. Staying here was one of the top experiences of our trip across the Yucatan.

Like no place I've stayed before

This home in Valladolid is unlike any home I've stayed at before. It feels like an old Spanish villa, or like a whole hotel just for us. The gardens are spectacularly maintained, and make it delightful to walk from the main entry-hall to the kitchen and rear wing of the property. The tall ceilings, beautiful art, and enormous kitchen made me want to never leave the VRBO, even though there is so much to do in and around Valladolid.

Spring 2024 Stay

The property, both the structure and grounds, and beautiful and well-maintained. We had a wonderful stay (2 adults, 4 small children) and were very happy with the experience. The location was perfect as it was close to the main square. Check-in was easy as was communication. We could walk to the majority of restaurants and sites we were interested in seeing in Valladolid. We were able to park right out front whenever we drove, but during busy times I could see parking being a bit of a challenge. The street cleared out during the evening each day though. I would very much recommend this property.

Extraordinary place

Staying in this beautiful historical house was like a dream--every detail was beautiful and thoughtful. Danielle was amazing and welcomed us so warmly, with lots of wonderful suggestions for restaurants and sights. The garden is absolutely dreamy and the kitchen spectacular--I could have happily stayed inside for a week exploring the property's many secret corners. But great location too--easy to shop, eat and see the sights all around. The magical Cenote Zaci and Convento San Bernardino are both 10-15 minutes walk away through beautiful neighborhoods. We would (and hope to) absolutely stay again!

The perfect Valladolid oasis

We are so happy that we booked this incredible property for our group. The pictures barely do it justice, it is truly stunning and so unique. There was plenty of space for our group of 5 adults, and all the amenities we needed. A/C in the bedrooms made sleeping very comfortable and there are fans throughout the other spaces including in the outdoor seating area which was a perfect place to gather at the end of the day. The kitchen is very well set up and has everything you could need. The hosts were very responsive and easy to get ahold of. Carlos was super helpful and friendly and keeps the house is immaculate shape. We cannot wait to come back!

Nicest place I have ever stayed!

Though every photo is accurate, none of them do justice to this incredible villa. It is mere blocks from the town center, but when you enter the door you step into another world. Absolute old world luxury. As for the hostess and caretaker, Danielle and Carlos could not be nicer. They clearly have a passion and a talent for their jobs. My next trip to the area will be planned around availability of this fabulous villa!

Amazing house!

First, Valladolid is a lovely little city. We stayed only two days and wished we had added a day or two more. Second, Danielle (local host) is wonderful. She welcomed us with such hospitality and grace, not just in connection with the property but also with sightseeing tips and lots of other good advice. Third, my kids (two teenagers and a pre-teen) were blown away by this remarkable house, and could not stop talking about it. Setting aside that it is literally a block from the center of the city, it has a beautiful and mysterious air that is so unique and unlike anywhere else we have stayed. My only caveat is that the layout is unusual, in a way we didn't appreciate before arriving. From the front door, there is a large entry hall, followed by a cavernous dining room that is beautiful and enormous but far from the kitchen. That dining room leads to two very large bedrooms. To remain indoors, you'd need to walk through one bedroom to get to the second one, and from there to the main bathroom, although each bedroom also has a door to the outdoors. Separate from that space - i.e. walking down an outdoor path and around a corner, there is the second bathroom, and near that is the large kitchen, garden, and hammock area, and then upstairs is a second hammock area, plus a third bedroom and bath. All of this was fine with us - very unusual but a lot of fun - and the spaces are fascinating and very nicely appointed. Anyway, we loved it and would happily return.

A lovely, private, historical place in Valladolid

We had a lovely 5-night stay at Amora Karina (colonial mansion) in Valladolid. The property is very unique with large rooms, lovely courtyards, terraces and garden. It was very hot in Valladolid when we stayed and so the air conditioned bedrooms, and ceiling fans in other spaces were very welcome. The history of the building is very interesting and the property manager, Danielle, explained it all to us on arrival. Danielle was very helpful and responsive to any queries we had throughout our stay. She also helped to put us in touch with a lovely taxi driver, Mario, who took us between various sites (ruins and cenotes) over a few days and was very pleasant company. The grounds man, Carlos, was lovely, bringing us fresh mamey fruits that had fallen from the tree in the garden as well as explaining to us about some of the different plants. He has a small, separate accommodation on the site but he only stays there when there are no guests so you have the whole place to yourself. We’d definitely recommend staying here for your stay in Valladolid.

Beautiful Home

The house and grounds are beautiful. The property has a very traditional feel. From the upper deck you can see the place next door and get a very good appreciation about the restoration work that was done. The right time of year this is an incredible place to stay. The view from the upper deck is amazing you can see a long way. There are some unique features that you do not get from the listing. Only the bed rooms are air conditioned. The property is broken into two separate buildings with two bed rooms the dining room and siting room in one and the kitchen and third bedroom in the other with a breezeway in the middle. Parking is interesting, early in the morning you can part directly in front of the door, but most of the rest of the time you have to park a ways away.

Remarkable oasis in the heart of Valladolid

This is an exceptional property in the heart of Valladolid. It feels like stepping into a time machine, and at the time time is in the very city center and is perfectly comfortable. Danielle was so helpful and responsive, and saved the day by sending us an old map of the area when we encountered a road block on our way due to some protests and were being sent on a massive detour (even Google maps did not have the roads on her map!). We loved that so many sights were just a stone's throw from the house, including the main square and cathedral, the incomparable Casa de los Venados and the lovely handicrafts store across the street Jaguara Yucatan. Danielle helped us to plan the best use of our time during our limited stay, and we just wish we had more time. Would come back in a heartbeat!

AMAZING!

Our experience here, at the house, and in Vallodolid, is what dreams are made of! I cannot express what an amazing home this is- it's stunning and grand while being cozy and welcoming. We travelled with our 3 boys (10,8,6) and they loved it too, and wanted to know if we could move in :) The photos don't do the house justice, and it's perfectly located within walking distance to everything you could need (restaurants, shops, grocery store, galleries, playgrounds, a cenote, etc.). We rented a car and had no trouble parking in front of the house. And as others have said, the most unexpected treasure of our experience was being connected with Danielle! If Danielle suggests an activity or a restaurant to you- DO IT- she is the best, and will be an asset to your time in Vallodolid! While we had to tell our kids we couldn't move in, if the house ever goes on market, we'll be 1st in line with an offer :)

Oasis in the heart of the coty

My husband and I, daughter, son in law and two small grandchildren thoroughly enjoyed spending Five days in this magnificent colonial estate in the heart of Valladolid. The entrance, dining room and two bedrooms in the first building are impeccably decorated under 40 foot beamed ceilings. The enormous tiled kitchen looks out over a carefully tended garden that feels like a secluded oasis just a block from the city center. The bedroom and deck above the kitchen offer more privacy and a clear view of gleaming stars at night. We all fell in love with this magnificent estate and with the charming town of Valladolid. Danielle was so helpful, and Carlos was lovely. Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful home with us. We take from it memories for a lifetime.
