Nestled on Calle Sol, in the colorful, cobblestone streets of Puerto Rico’s most storied city, Casa Sol Bed & Breakfast is more than just a place to stay — it’s a portal into history, culture, and heartfelt hospitality. As the very first B&B established within the walls of Old San Juan, Casa Sol is a lovingly restored 18th-century colonial home that offers guests a rare opportunity: to wake up within history, without sacrificing the comforts of modern travel.
A Historic Home, Reimagined
Casa Sol is the vision of owners Eddie Ramírez and Margarita Pastor, who have transformed this colonial-era residence into a warm, welcoming retreat. With great care, they have preserved its architectural soul — from the open-air courtyard to the thick stone walls and tall wooden ceilings — while adding thoughtful touches of comfort and eco-conscious design.
The ambiance strikes a perfect balance between old-world charm and modern sensibility. Each room is individually styled, using local crafts and sustainable materials, creating a space that feels both elegant and grounded in Puerto Rican tradition. The overall feeling? You’re not just visiting Old San Juan — you’re living it.
Steps Away from Centuries of Culture
Location is everything, and Casa Sol delivers in spades. Just a short stroll from the front door, guests can wander through the legendary forts of San Cristóbal and San Felipe del Morro, stand in the shadow of La Fortaleza, the oldest governor’s residence still in use in the Western Hemisphere, or explore the Capitol, churches, plazas, and museums that tell the tale of over 500 years of Puerto Rican heritage.
Whether you’re an architecture enthusiast, a history buff, or simply in search of beauty, Old San Juan has something to offer — and Casa Sol places you right at the center of it all.
Personalized Hospitality with a Local Touch
At Casa Sol, you’re not just a guest — you’re part of the family. The hospitality here is warm, intentional, and deeply personal. Eddie and Margarita take pride in getting to know each visitor, offering curated tips for local dining, hidden gems to explore, and the best ways to experience authentic Puerto Rico.
Each morning begins with a fresh, homemade breakfast featuring local ingredients, often served in the sunlit courtyard or communal kitchen — a setting that fosters conversation and connection among fellow travelers. Whether you’re traveling solo, as a couple, or with friends, this is the kind of place where lasting memories (and friendships) are made.
A Starting Point for Every Journey
Though Old San Juan is a destination in itself, Casa Sol is also an ideal starting point for wider adventures. From here, guests can easily access tours, excursions, and transit to explore beaches, rainforests, and vibrant neighborhoods across the island. Yet at the end of each day, it’s comforting to return to this serene oasis of history, comfort, and care.
In a world full of impersonal hotels, Casa Sol stands apart — offering a boutique stay infused with soul, purpose, and Puerto Rican pride.
