Visit
this Santa Fe Bed and Breakfast and you will find yourself on
the property of one of the oldest local families of
Santa Fe. You will find that our food is prepared using the same
recipes and techniques that we learned from our parents,
grandparents and other family members and friends who were native
New Mexicans.
You will see that wood, tin and
copper hold a special place in our hearts. As far as we
are concerned, Mom's father, Grandpa Sanchez was one of the greatest
carpenters who ever walked on this earth. Thus, all of our
beds are handmade works of one of the owners or one of our friends.
Tin and/or copper hand tooled sconces, light fixtures or furniture
are also in evidence. These being the contributions of one of
the other owners, his son and one of our cousins.
Our Grandpa Quintana was a jeweler in
his younger years and later the owner of a grocery store that was
housed right on this property.
Our Father, Pete (Pedro) learned
jewelry-making and later concentrated most of his artistic talents
working on stamped tin.
Join us on one of your visits and we
will happily share pictures and excerpts from books where "our Dad"
was featured as one of Santa Fe's native artists.
We are located in the oldest district
of Santa Fe, the historic Guadalupe District. Just a stone's
throw from the historic Santuario de Guadalupe, one of the oldest
churches in Santa Fe.
Agua Fria, the street on which we are
located, was once the famous Camino Real, an ancient route
connecting northern New Mexico to Mexico.
Your visit to Santa Fe would not be
complete if you did not take the time to visit our historic
downtown plaza ... a nice six-block stroll from our bed and
breakfast.
If you are looking for a four-star
establishment with waiters, bellhops, room service and a
hefty price tag, we are not for you.
What we have to offer is a "truly
Santa Fe experience" in the only Santa Fe
Bed and Breakfast that is owned and operated by a native Santa Fe
family.
