There is a renewed zest for life at DOS CASITAS, where you can enjoy bad ass breakfast burritos and drink craft cocktails. Agua Fria Street has its own nifty story, rich with history and dating back to the 1600s. A road like this speaks volumes to the Spanish and their lives in Santa Fe. Dos Casitas was built years ago as a humble home on an old country road. It has been renovated without pretension, but to be loft-like with high efficiency of a kitchen décor and accent décor that was designed for when performance matters. The motto is “keep it simple,” and it is complete with all the simple pleasures and comforts of home.
DOS CASITAS is two houses for the price of one. The main house has a great kitchen decor with a convection microwave, a drawer refrigerator, a drawer freezer, and ceramic countertops. There are dinnerware sets, glassware, placemats, and cloth napkins to set the dining table. The living room enjoys a modern home interior design built for comfort with a wood-burning fireplace. Around the corner is the king bedroom set, prepared with designer luxury linens of Egyptian cotton and the best pillows. There is an antique amoire that hides a TV when not in use, and the bedroom has blackout shades. Around the corner again is the bathroom shower with amenities and FRETTE bath décor. All AQUI Santa Fe homes enjoy the luxury bath and bath accessories of LOS POBLANOS LAVENDER ORGANIC FARM, hairdryers, and magnifying mirrors. When staying in an AQUI home, it is time to indulge in luxury bedding, a luxury bath, and a great bottle of GRUET CHAMPAGNE!
The DOS CASITAS Casita is just around garden wall with French doors open to lusha garden that is actually a “lush” garden. It provides for a sun-drenched afternoon with the perfume scents of beautiful flowers. The casita is everybody’s secret hideaway! It is a place to be quiet, read a classic novel and be seclusive. Enjoy some relaxing music for sleep and wake to a good morning coffee and the spirit of a new day. You have just slept on a California king bed that was just right, and it will wait for your return. It is the same luxury bath, with the same bath accessories as in the main house. There is a nice extra, however, when we work remotely, we need that computer desk that makes for a home office setup with wifi and Internet. Join your Zoom meeting and be comfortable. Just don’t spend too much time at the desk because your Santa Fe adventure awaits!
