Authentic Santa Fe Charm near the Plaza-102 Pena Place in Santa Fe

Casita del Sol and Casita de la Luna are the epitome of the charming, authentic casitas that everyone looks for when visiting Santa Fe.  They are located at 102 Pena Place, within a .7 mile walk of the center of old Santa Fe's historic and picturesque plaza. Each casita can accommodate 2-4 people (depending on whether two people can share the full sleeper sofa). Families can rent the entire compound for a larger group.

The property is located in the historic Guadalupe district. It is a short walk to the Santuario de Guadalupe, the Georgia O'Keefe Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts, Palace of the Governors, etc. Restaurants within easy walking distance include the Cowgirl Hall of Fame, the well known Coyote Cafe, the renowned Pink Adobe, as well as many others.  There are many shops and galleries filled with lots of interesting and attractive merchandise.  In the other direction, it is about a three block walk to the Guadalupe Street area and the new Railyard.

In the summer, enjoy our walled garden (shared by both casitas) as well as a private bistro table and chairs in the rear of the casita (Casita del Sol only). In the winter, cozy up by your own kiva fireplace. The property is very secluded and quiet.

Both casitas feature authentic hand-painted Mexican tile and coved ceilings with original vigas, furnished with hand-carved Southwestern style furniture. The bedrooms features fine linens for a wonderful night's sleep. The sunny atmosphere is the result of skylights throughout. Tastefully decorated with attractive artwork and hand-woven rugs. We have flat screen HDTVs, satellite service and HBO.

Casita del Sol is approximately 650 square feet with a queen bed in the bedroom and a full sleeper sofa in the living room. There is a shower only in the bathroom. In addition, Casita del Sol has a private bistro table and chairs in the rear of the casita.

Casita de la Luna is approximately 830 square feet and features a king bed in the bedroom and a full sleeper sofa in the living room. There is a large jacuzzi tub in the bathroom as well as a separate stall shower.

Off-street parking is available as well as laundry facilities. Upon your arrival, you will find all the ingredients for a continental breakfast!

The casita is maintained with care and pride. My husband and I have owned this property for more than seven years. In that time we have established a number of return guests who come year after year, saying that this is the best accommodation they have ever stayed in while in Santa Fe.

A/C:  Please note that the property does not have air conditioning and it is not necessary. This is the original adobe construction which has been used in New Mexico for centuries. The adobe walls keep the casitas cool in the summer and warm in the winter. The only kind of air conditioning that I could put in these historic buildings would be window units and I refuse to do that as they can be quite noisy and unsightly. We do have fans available for the summer months if people want to use them. In addition, in Santa Fe, the nights are about 30 degrees cooler than the days, so we do not have warm summer nights. We have guests who return every summer and know that the casitas are very comfortable. I remember a couple from Southern California who stayed with us a few years ago. They were concerned that there was no air conditioning, but they decided to stay anyway. They later told me that they were totally comfortable and were very pleased to have stayed in our property.
