Cozy Casa Carmelita features a Brilliant Kiva Fireplace, Unique Patio & Hot Tub!

CASA CARMELITA IS NM SAFE CERTIFIED, TRAINED IN COVID-SAFE PRACTICES

RV’s and Trailers are prohibited.

Casa Carmelita, also known as Casa Encantada #7, has plenty of charm, romance and magnetism that is tucked away in a serene setting. Casa Encantada, a classic adobe compound is situated on what was original Pueblo land. This early 1900’s family compound has been transformed into a charming, intimate collection of eleven individually owned casitas. Located one block off Kit Carson, it is an easy walk to the Plaza, 0.7 miles for shopping, galleries, restaurants, music and museums, and just moments to the El Monte Sagrado Resort and Spa.

Casa Carmelita is a classic adobe casita that opens into a beautifully landscaped, grassy shared common area with beautiful trees and a unique Totem Pole. This one bedroom gem sleeps 2 adults comfortably with a King bed (memory foam) and a Queen, Sleeper Sofa with no bars, no springs, no compromise. Guest will enjoy the large Kiva fireplace with beautiful gas logs for warm cozy nights. French doors open to the spacious private patio showcasing a bistro set with a wood-burning chiminea for a "quite" happy hour, then top the evening off with a relaxing soak in the hot tub. Additional amenities include, fully equipped kitchen, washer and dryer, microwave, dishwasher, portable air conditioner, air purifier, Roku/Smart TV with wireless Sony headphones, blu ray DVD, portable Bluetooth jam-box for music in the patio, fiber optic high speed internet, gas grill.

FYI, you will see the adobe/boxelder bugs during the warm summer weather. They are seasonal to Taos and live in the trees. They come every summer and then they leave. They will not hurt you, but can be a nuisance. They are not specific to our place, they are all over Taos. Feel free to research further to see if this is going to be an issue for you.

Dave visited Taos for the first time in 1971 on an art scholarship through his University. We hope you will enjoy his paintings that hang in the casita, some are available for purchase. Carmelita, a Registered Nurse enjoys the culinary experience of New Mexico and the Southwest.

We are excited to share Casa Carmelita with you.

This place was absolutely amazing !! It's enchanting in a way !! Very private and romantic. Everything was of such quality and anything you may have needed, or forgot, this Casita had it!. The bed, the hot-tub, the towels and even bathrobes were over the top!. The art in this Casita was done by the owner and is so beautiful. We have been to Taos many times over the years and this place is, by far, the very best. !!
