Hacienda San Antonio Millet, situated near Mérida, boasts a rich history dating back to the 16th century when it served as a cattle farm before transitioning into a henequen plantation. Under the Counts of Miraflores in the late 19th century, it underwent significant restoration, blending medieval and Renaissance influences. In the new millennium, two couples endeavored to preserve its heritage, resulting in the outstanding boutique hotel it is today.

The meticulously restored estate features traditional hacienda architecture with vibrant Talavera tiles, high-beamed ceilings, and graceful arches. The hotel offers twelve luxurious rooms across four areas, including the main house with its grand reception area, and separate guest houses surrounding a picturesque pool area.

The former machinery house serves as an event venue, with expansive banquet halls, leisure rooms, and a large pool. The historic chapel of San Antonio de Padua adds to the hacienda’s charm with its original 200-year-old pulpit.

Spanning 110 hectares, the hacienda offers ample space for new constructions and even agricultural endeavors. With its rich history, timeless elegance, and versatile usage possibilities, from a hotel and event venue to a private residence or corporate headquarters, Hacienda San Antonio Millet presents itself as an enticing destination for travelers and a unique investment opportunity for potential buyers.
