Casita Olivas! Walkable + Historic. Adorable Adobe. Newly listed on VRBO.

Casita Olivas is a new listing in Santa Fe. Comfortable and centrally located, this home is your launching pad to explore vibrant art and culinary scenes stemming from hundreds of years of history. Located in the historic South Capitol neighborhood, you are close to everything. The Casita will delight you with period antiques and art and ensure a comfortable stay with every thoughtful touch.

The space
Built in 1932, this historic and updated adobe home exudes charm with original vigas throughout the house. Vigas, or wooden ceiling beams, are featured prominently in Southwest architecture.

It has a wood-burning fireplace, a fully stocked kitchen, a kitchen dining area for four, a main room game/work table, and plenty of room to lounge when you're not out sightseeing. There are two comfortable bedrooms, one with a queen bed and one with a king bed, complete with humidifiers to soothe against the mountain air.

There is a private back patio with a dining area for enjoying a morning cup of coffee or grilling in the evening.

Guest access
The home is surrounded by adobe walls and turquoise gates that house gardens boasting fragrant sage and rose bushes in the summertime. There is a stone path to the front door with a keypad. The path is lined with solar paneled garden lights as well as security motion lights.

Please note: this casita offers plentiful and very close street parking in this quiet neighborhood.

Once you arrive at Casita Olivas you can easily leave your car parked and explore all of Santa Fe by foot. The Casita is casually walkable and very close to most art galleries and restaurants. Santa Fe Plaza (15 mins), Kakawa Chocolate House (10min), Railyard District and SITE Santa Fe and the incredible Santa Fe Farmer's Market (5 mins). The famed Canyon Road galleries are 1.5 miles away.

Other things to note
We have taken special care to adorn our sweet Casita with period antiques, art, and artifacts that will certainly enchant and bring history to life.

The neighborhood was home to the area Blacksmiths since the late 1600s; the tradesmen blended Hispanic and Native customs and techniques. Historian Marc Simmons notes, "The founder of this smithing dynasty was Bernardino de Sena, who at age 9 in 1693 first came to New Mexico from Mexico City." "After Sena (and Castillo’s) instruction, the art of blacksmithing spread rapidly among the Navajo tribe. Using the same techniques of metalworking, [they] soon graduated to making silver jewelry."

With a very short walk from the Casita, you can arrive at the historic Santa Fe Railyard where, on February 9, 1880, the first train pulled into the capital city marking the end of the Santa Fe Trail era.

Had a lovely time at Casita Oliva's!

We really enjoyed our stay here! It is a nice longer walk to the plaza and the farmers market and railyard area are a little closer. We easilu found affordable Ubers if we didn't feel like walking. The house was very cute and well stocked. Our one complaint was the only bathroom is attached to the primary bedroom so there wasn't alot of privacy in that regard. We would still highly recommend!
