The Space:

Nestled in the 500-year-old historic city of Old San Juan, the elegance and eclectic nature of Villa Solana is the ideal base camp to explore Old San Juan's history, restaurants, shopping, and nightlife. Villa Solana conserves the structure of traditional Spanish architecture, with soaring ceilings, wooden windows, and welcoming ornate doors. Villa Solana’s interior has been recently renovated to preserve its history while elevating comfort and coziness. As you enter, you’ll be greeted by traditional marbled white and black checkered floors, mix with eclectic and modern decor. Fine art will charm your way throughout the whole apartment. And by just opening the doors to the balconies you’ll embrace natural light, the beautiful sight of cobblestone street Calle del Sol, and the warmth of Puerto Rican people.



The apartment has air conditioning throughout and ceiling fans in the bedrooms, so you can beat the heat during the day and enjoy a relaxing sleep at night. Just a few steps away from Plaza de Armas, the apartment is right by easy shopping, convenience stores, and restaurants. Although laying in a calmer residential street, Villa Solana is a short walk from the nightlife and restaurants of Calle San Sebastian and El Morro Spanish fort.



We hope you enjoy your stay and love Villa Solana as much as we do!
