Casa Olivia

Casa Olivia rocks its colonial colours with panache, and it’s quite the get-up. An unassuming black door with a rusting gargoyle knocker leads the way inside this Rudyard Kipling fever dream, all monochromatic checkerboard floor tiles, antique loveseats, hand-painted cornicing, decorative wooden armoires and wrought-iron spiral staircases. Guests weary of basking poolside in the blazing Mexican sun sip mezcal margaritas beneath rotating ceiling-fans in the lost-in-time bar (which could just as easily have been installed in 1821 as 2021), as giant potted-palm fronds sway gently in the downdraft. A similarly superb sensory experience awaits on the enchanting streets of Mérida’s old town, directly outside the casa.

Casa Olivia is housed inside a cute corner building overlooking Plaza Santiago, a leafy market square complete with a crumbling lime-washed chapel in Mérida’s beguiling colonial old town.
