Casita Azul, Mesilla Plaza Only Steps Away

COVID-19 UPDATE:
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.
In addition, shops and restaurants on the Mesilla Plaza and in the area are open. Patrons can also eat on the patios with social distancing. The restaurants do have the opportunity for customers to order and take out food. Farmer’s markets and grocery stores are open. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions or concerns. Please stay safe and well as we learn to navigate this new normal.

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.

Charming getaway!
We had a lovely vacation in historic Mesilla! Casita Azul was the perfect size and set up for us and our chihuahua. The traditional casita captures the wonderful character of the community and we took advantage of the perfect location by walking each day to the plaza, shops, and restaurants. We enjoyed the porch and patio, which provided a private and quiet space to relax. The weather was beautiful, the food was excellent, and the locals were very friendly. Most importantly our host, Mary Helen, was welcoming, helpful, and made sure we were comfortable.😊

Would not hesitate to stay again
Was in town for the Bataan Death March and this place was perfect. Host is on property, but is very respectful of your privacy. Everything is as described in the listing. It’s steps away from the historic plaza and shops. The shower was a little tricky to figure out but once done worked great. Will try and book this property again next year.

Our 3rd time staying here, and the 4th is already reserved! The casita is both lovely and comfortable, in a great location. The hostess is a joy to communicate with, and is both friendly and knowledgeable. Our stay was, once again, delightful.

Quaint and quiet
We loved staying in a home with so much history in a town with so much history. We were able to come and go as needed. The hosts made sure we were able to find our way and get in since our flights were delayed and we arrived. Around midnight. We made trips to White Sands National Park. ITT was a very convenient location.

Our Sexond Visit!
We liked this property so much, we booked it for a second time. We stayed here in May 2022. The casita is cozy and well appointed. The location is great. The plaza was beautifully decorated for the holidays. The shops on the plaza are around the corner. There are great restaurants on the plaza and a few blocks off the plaza- so convenient!

Memorable visit
My husband & I stayed 4 nights with our little dog. Everything exceeded our expectations. The host is a pleasure to communicate with. We enjoyed the convenience of walking to the great restaurants in the plaza, which is a a couple hundred feet away. Our dog gives it 5 paws.
