Our clients say this part of Merida is their favourite, according to independent reviews.
Our aim is to share our time, our home, our city with whoever comes to visit us. Because we are proud of the place where we live and of the history that allowed us to be what we are, from the veteran Roman soldiers who founded us, Visigoths who allowed us to re-emerge together with a girl Martyr who brought the first pilgrims and Berbers, Muladis, Mozarabs... Petronila is part of that history, of hospitality, of offering our best smile and kindness and of doing everything possible to make you feel at home.
Petronila si trova sulla strada principale di Merida, una delle strade più frequentate del centro. Dalla terrazza all'ultimo piano si può godere della vista del Tempio di Diana e si trova a pochi passi dalla maggior parte dei luoghi di interesse culturale, dai ristoranti alla moda e dalle attrazioni commerciali.
