Casita Azul, Mesilla Plaza Only Steps Away

Our casita is decorated in a traditional way. Mexican folkart adorns the walls as well as in nichos and shelves. It is a comfortable place to stay with furniture that conforms to comfort but in a fashion that reflects the area. Refrigerated air is available in the bedroom as well as another unit that provides comfort throughout the casita.

We scrupulously clean our casita after every renter and also block our calendar accordingly (at least a day afterwards) to provide for thorough cleaning/sanitizing. While we use primarily natural products we also use disinfecting products to ensure that we are providing as much disinfecting support as possible.
Long term renters are required to pay an extra $50.00 cleaning fee every two weeks during their stay. We can arrange a convenient time when you are out and about for the cleaning.
Feel free to reach out to me with any questions or concerns.

Our Property
Imagine listening to the ringing of the church bells and walking out your door onto the charming plaza of Old Mesilla. Shopping at the unique shops around the plaza and dining on a variety of foods which includes our famous Mexican food.

Casita Azul is a two bedroom, one bath, 900 sq. ft. getaway. It is a historic property, which is part of the block that is listed on the State and National Register of Historic Places dating back to the 1850's. The casita was once a barn and then converted into living quarters. It is an adobe with thick walls. The ceilings are the traditional latillas (small lengths of wood) and vigas (large wood beams). The entrance is adorned with large carved, old Mexican, wooden double doors which opens to a covered portal (porch). The property owners are right next door and a common yard is shared. A newly bricked patio is available for relaxing in the New Mexico sunshine. The casita also has its own porch and access to the backyard area. It has a pet door so there is a possibility of bringing a small to medium sized dog. Please contact us if you plan to bring your pet.

As you enter the casita you walk into the kitchen which has blue Mexican tile accents, and an open living area. The rear bedroom shares the office area and a twin bed. The bathroom has a bathtub and a shower. The bathroom area has a separate heater and fan. There are two very quiet heating and refrigerated cooling units to make the casita cozy all year long. There is also a very basic utility room with a washer and dryer and a place to store suitcases and travel supplies.
During your stay at this holiday home, you're just a quick walk from San Albino Basilica. Enjoy features like laundry facilities. The holiday home offers free WiFi and a kitchen.

The property was clean, beautiful and well-furnished. The proximity to Mesilla was fantastic, where we could walk to great restaurants. (La Posta is a favorite) We hope to stay there soon again. It was such a quaint home. The hosts could not have been nicer.

This is the perfect place to stay! It is in a great location making it walkable to many restaurants. The place is beautifully decorated, spacious, and comfortable. We felt immediately at home. The parking spot was steps from the front door. Mary, the host, is incredibly nice as well as her cute dog, Millie. We would definitely stay here again!

The casita is warm and inviting and our host is amazing, very knowledgeable about the area and quite friendly. Bed comfy, plenty of towels. Adobe walls kept things warm during desert nights. Central to everything Mesilla - we didn't need a car for wining and dining. Would absolutely stay here again!

Highly recommend staying here. It's comfortable, clean, charming -- the three Cs! -- and Mary Helen is a lovely host. Half a block from the plaza and so within easy walking distance of your morning coffee, your great bookstore browse, lunch -- and dinner -- if you'd like. Peaceful.
