Welcome to Casa Clorinda

Whether you’re out on one of our fishing expeditions or immersing yourself in the culture of Campeche, you’ll enjoy an experience like no other at this unique guest house.

Located in southeastern Mexico, on the western coast of the Yucatan Peninsula, this charming oasis features family living and a fishing lodge. Casa Clorinda was a labor of love, originally built by Enrico for his family and friends. They soon convinced him that he should share the pleasure of a stay here with others. The combination of colonial charm and modern comfort make it great for families, friends, business trips, or just a getaway. After a day on the water or exploring the city, Casa Clorinda is the perfect place to relax. Book your stay today and experience the peace and tranquility for yourself.

Casa Clorinda has been lovingly restored to preserve its heritage using original materials and artistry where possible. Stone walls were rebuilt painstakingly one stone at a time. The original beams were repurposed to become the closets and the tables on the kitchen veranda. What remained of the original stable entrance is now a waterfall over the swimming pool. 

All of the interior walls as well as the interior of the pool were done with the ancient Maya process of Chukum. The bark of the Chukum tree, native to the area, is twice boiled to extract a resin. When the resin is mixed with a limestone-based stucco it has natural water-repelling properties which are needed in the humid climate. Chukum also leaves a beautiful natural finish on the walls without painting. 

Incredibly, the roof tiles are still the original tiles manufactured and stamped In Marseille, France. They were brought to Campeche as ballast on ships looking to return to Europe with salt and dye wood.
