Fundación de Artistas

A beautiful restored house with great interiors! They sell artisanal chocolates, tea and honey. The courtyard brings you back in time.

Interesting venue. The location and ambience are kind of vintage. There’s a clothing store, a cafe, a toy store, and a small gallery (contemporary paintings). A nice place to visit if you have the time although everything is very expensive.

Coming from the desolate streets of an abandoned Merida (Christmas day...), we entered in this marvelous patio, astonishing. Everything else remains outside, take a seat and relax tasting chocolate, coffee and sweets from cafeteria, then walk around and enjoy a fine shop and art exposition.

an amazing locale to see art in a beautifully refurbished building. they also offer a limited menu. go it is fun and deserves your support

Hacienda Montaecristo is inside and looks gorgeous, and magical ✨

Says on Internet that it's open at 11 but it was not open even at 12. Try to get in couple days. on Sunday finally when we got in and wanted to see the clothing, there was not even light to see them and the person was not intersested to help us with anything. Otherwise it's a beautiful place and I always bring my guests there to by parfum and clothing. This time my friend had to go back to the airport so no business done.

Beautiful old house with art and coffee. Excellent pianist Seth Montfort plays there... One of the Merida oddities; concerto level music for whoever happens to walk by.

Discovered Fundación de Artistes by chance as I walked past the building. Intrigued, I backed up and ventured inside. Unfortunately, it this happened on the last day of my three month visit in Mérida. All the same, that afternoon I relaxed in the shade of the interior courtyard and enjoyed a cup of coffee in a chair so comfortable, I hesitated to sit on, concerned that I might not be willing to leave it. I had been advised by a patron that the pianist, Seth [Monfort], was very talented, would be arriving soon, and well worth my wait. Excellent advice! I enjoyed every note and his amusing anecdotes. It pained me to leave. On my way out I peered into various rooms and it was obvious that the Fundación de Artistes had even more to offer. Been looking forward to my next visit to the Foundation since I first settled into that chair, coffee in hand! It's at the top of my To-Do list when I return to Mérida later this year.
