In recent years leading international tastemakers have been drawn
to the vibrant culture of the Yucatan. In Merida-the region's
sixteenth-century capital-they have renovated many of the romantic
Spanish colonial town houses into stylish retreats. In the nearby
towns of Valladolid and Coba, picturesque houses surrounded by lush
vegetation in sun-drenched settings have also been updated while
retaining indigenous charm. Annie Kelly takes us on an insider's
tour of several stunning properties-from brightly painted town
houses and contemporary villas to rustic bungalows- many with a
distinctive bohemian feeling. These sophisticated residences blend
artisanal craftsmanship with antiques and contemporary furnishings.
They have been designed by such talents as architect Manolo Mestre,
artist Jorge Pardo, L.A. modernist antiques dealers Robert Willson
and David Serrano, and Nicolas Malleville of Tulum's famed Coqui
Coqui hotel, who has brought the fashion world to the Yucatan due
to his chic homes and hotels there. Beautiful outdoor entertaining,
garden, and pool areas enliven all these homes. This book is a
stimulating resource for the design aficionado.
