Casa Tía Micha occupies a colonial house in the historic center of Valladolid, passed down within the same family across several generations. The establishment features 8 rooms spread throughout a building with vibrant facades, just steps away from the city's main landmarks. Original architecture and several antique objects have been preserved, in keeping with the understated colonial style typical of Valladolid.

Why stay here

Three elements set this property apart. First, its family heritage: the house has belonged for several generations to the descendants of Doña Emilia Irene Novelo Torres, nicknamed "Aunt Micha." After her mother's untimely death, she raised her four siblings, earning their lasting affection. The house's name and those of the rooms pay homage to this legacy.

Second, heritage conservation: original objects and colonial architecture have been maintained, not recreated. Finally, its location within walking distance of Francisco Canton Rosado Park and the main monuments of the center.

The atmosphere

The historic building is recognized by its vibrant colors, faithful to Valladolid's colonial palette. Inside, the décor remains understated: light walls, wooden furnishings, family objects preserved across generations. Each room bears a name drawn from family history and is distinguished by its own details, within a cohesive whole.

The rooms

The hotel has 8 rooms decorated in the local understated colonial style. Amenities include air conditioning and ceiling fan, flat-screen television with satellite channels, minibar, coffee/tea maker and safe. Bathrooms are equipped with a hairdryer; some offer a spa bathtub. Depending on category, the room may overlook the city.

Services

On the practical side, the house offers free parking, 24-hour front desk, room service, free Wi-Fi, luggage storage and an external transport reservation service.

For relaxation breaks, the hot tub, garden and terrace are at your disposal. Massages can be arranged upon request.

The dining deserves mention. In the morning, breakfast comes in either regional or American style. Depending on your package, dinner features signature home recipes, with a menu that changes daily. Upon reservation, romantic table service with special décor is available.
