Stayed 6 days ending in October, 2021
Casa Carlos is simply gorgeous. Located a short stroll from the historic Taos Plaza, this very old adobe invites you to come inside. Look around: two foot thick, white-washed adobe walls, restored logs and woodwork of the viga ceilings, beautifully curated furniture and interior decor, a gas kiva fireplace and, for fun, a turntable. The traditional Saltillo tile floor is warm in cold weather thanks to radiant heating yet cool when it is hot outside. The king bed is very comfortable. The large light-filled tiled shower is luxurious. And, the kitchen is not only well stocked, but is a delightful place to prepare a meal on unique tile counters. Walk out the back door and your focus is drawn to a sandstone waterfall and pond in the far corner of a lovely back yard divided between the cooling landscape of grasses and trees and a hardscape of sculpted deck and sandstone pavers. The comfortable outdoor furniture, gas fired grill and hot tub draw you to relax outdoors under bright blue or starlit New Mexico skies. We instantaneously felt at home in this unique home and are planning to stay again at Casa Carlos on our next trip to Taos.
