Enter through a rustic, blue gate into a charming walled garden. A waterfall and large koi pond under the apricot tree designed by the artist owner fills the private garden with the soothing sound of running water. A coyote fence addition above the adobe wall makes the garden even more private and quiet than ever. Sunbathe on the lounges and breathe in the scent of blooming rose bushes while watching the waterfall flow and the koi swimming in and out of the cattails and water lilies.

Barbecue and dine under a large portal at a wrought iron picnic table or stretch out to read on the banco in peaceful privacy. Portal, living room, and kitchen all have sunny southern exposure. Enter through French doors to a beautiful traditional casita with coved ceilings, herringbone brick floors, vigas, nichos, hand-carved New Mexican pine furniture, hand-painted tile details, and punched tin light fixtures.

The owner, an artist, author, and curator has chosen original Southwestern fine art to adorn the walls. Sunlight streams in through fine lace curtains. The cozy living room is on your left with a comfortable doublr size convertible couch and banco in front of a traditional kiva fireplace. On your right, a large, cobalt blue, Talavera tile breakfast counter delineates a fully-equipped gourmet kitchen with pine cabinets, hutch, and a table for four. Pets Allowed with cleaning surcharge and refundable pet damage deposit, No Smoking (Smoking outside only please).

The romantic bedroom has a comfortable queen size bed with carved Northern New Mexico headboard and trastero, The feather bed, fresh 300 count Italian linens, new jacquard comforter, and pillow shams, and plenty of down and feather and regular pillows make for a heavenly restful sleep. In fall and winter, a new down comforter with a lovely duvet cover is cozy on cooler nights.

There is a tray for breakfast in bed, and a private walled courtyard with a small table and chairs for morning coffee or sunbathing. The large full bath has jade green Mexican tile. Fresh thick Spa towels, fine linens and duvet, and pretty Fiesta dishes add a homey couch.

Situated in a tranquil historic neighborhood, this Casita is just six and a half blocks from the Plaza and one block off the Old Santa Fe Trail. A playground and park are nearby. It is a short pleasant walk to gourmet restaurants, a specialty grocery store, coffee shop, lunch spot, pharmacy, quaint shops, and Canyon Road art galleries. About a mile from the Museum of New Mexico's Museum Hill and St. John's College and just on the other side of the Plaza from the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum. A short drive takes you to Santa Fe's Ski Basin, Native American Pueblos, and historic sites.

Secluded and private, yet walking distance to the Plaza, the Casita can accommodates those looking for an adobe casita in the City Different. Cozy, private and very romantic, Casita Placida is your perfect hide-away to experience the true Santa Fe.
