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.

A delightful experience for my 75th Birthday...
The property is historic and everything in it has been refined to the smallest detail. Artwork fills every wall, nook, and cranny creating a colorful atmosphere. Everything you need to cook is provided in the kitchen. The king sized bed was very comfortable and had luxurious sheeting. EVERYTHING WAS THE BEST!!!

This beautiful property was very clean and very inviting. The communication with the host was excellent. It was like taking a trip back in time without sacrificing the comforts of today. The property and the surrounding areas were full of charm. The church bells from the nearby church were a welcomed surprise. We would definitely consider staying here again.

Casa Azul exceeded our expectations!
This property exceeded our expectations! Historic, convenient to the square and a block from the park (for our dog). Spacious, clean, comfortable, very nice New Mexican décor, lovely courtyard. The host was thoughtful and made us feel welcome. It was truly a home away from home, one that we would enjoy staying in again.

Ideal Retreat and Location
We stayed while I had work in town, and this was the perfect spot to come back to and relax. We were looking for someplace that my better half could get out and explore while I was off working, and this definitely fit the bill. Very comfortable in its own right, with the square just around the corner, and we even enjoyed a sunset hike down one of the adjacent canals. Definitely hope to be back here in a future trip.
