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.

Amazing Stay in Valladolid
Our family of five greatly enjoyed our stay. The house and grounds are beautiful and it is well located to the town center and many great restaurants. Danielle provided lots of helpful information and Carlos attended to all our needs. It was a very special place to stay. I highly recommend.

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.

Wonderful stay!
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.

Very Special Restoration
Our family had a wonderful stay in this 300 year old mansion. Yes, from the 1600's - three foot thick walls, 20 foot ceilings, amazing tile work, cool shaded interiors set in a gorgeous garden. Plus- easy walk to restaurants, shopping, with a charming kitchen, beautiful bathrooms and AC. We rented a car from a referral from Danielle - drove to the Coba ruins and Tulum. Chichen-Itza was closed at our visit - but it, and Ek Balam, are very close. We were always able to find a parking spot in front. Don't miss Casa de los Venados (largest private display of Mexican folk art in Mexico, collected over 30 years) - just a couple of doors down - many talented artists. We all enjoyed sitting on the veranda looking at the garden plus the roof top deck with views of the Valladolid cathedral and the city. There is plenty to do for our 20-30 year old sons, plus their parents. Danielle is so welcoming, and willing to share her experience in the area to guide your stay. Carlos provides the beautiful garden. Pictures really can't capture this historic, classic home and the beauty that is here.

I definitely recommend this property. This is large beautiful space, both inside and out. There is a huge, well-equipped kitchen, great bathrooms and a peaceful, fully enclosed out door sitting area (with an additional patio upstairs). Danielle (the manager) was very personable and responsive. At one point we locked ourselves out of the property with both of our phones inside (charging). With the help of a neighboring business, and in a very short time, we were able to reach Danielle and find Carlos (the property’s gardener), both of whom arrived within minutes. Problem solved. It’s well located with a short walk to the main square, Convento de San Bernardino de Siena, restaurants, etc. Thanks Danielle, we’ll definitely stay again the next time we’re in the area. Randy

It is a magic place that transports you in a dimension what away from our modern world.

Best Stay Ever
This colonial home in center of Valladolid is absolutely stunning. Words cannot do justice to beauty and care taken to restore this property. I've been lucky enough to do a fair amount of travelling in my day, and this by far the most beautiful place I've ever stayed. The outdoor areas are phenomenal places to relax, and the rooftop offered a nice breeze to help combat the spring heat. My only regret is not having longer to stay here. It should also be mentioned that communication between the host and myself was flawless. They took the time to thoughtfully answer my many questions. I truly hope to stay here again and emphatically recommend that you do as well.
