Awarded
"Best of Santa Fe" 2008/2009 by the USLBA*
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.
