Perfectly nestled between La Ermita and Parque de San Juan, Casa Skylarkin is the ideal choice for your visit to Merida. The great room has two separate seating areas and a chef’s kitchen which flows seamlessly into the pool and patio area. With 4 bedrooms (each with a bath ensuite), and two single bed/sofas located in the main living area, Casa Skylarkin can host large groups comfortably. For those worried about climbing stairs, three of the bedrooms are downstairs, and only one is upstairs.
Recently renovated and modernized, Casa Skylarkin was designed and decorated with dramatic and vibrant Moroccan touches throughout, and has an exotic feel. Air conditioning is available in all bedrooms and the living space. The house has an open and light feel, with double high glass doors separating the main living area from the pool and patio area.
Casa Skylarkin is conveniently located only 2 blocks from La Ermita square and 5 blocks from the main square and Cathedral. La Ermita is a quieter neighborhood with some cobblestone roads and the square was originally the beginning of the royal road to Campeche. The church, Our Lady of Good Travel or Santa Isabel, dates from 1748. The zone comes alive each year around the Day of the Dead, which makes Casa Skylarkin the perfect place for experiencing this holiday.

We are not responsible for any items brought into or left at the house. If you believe that you left something in the house after your departure, then please let us know.
