Togetherness AND privacy! Your extended family or social group can spread out in this former beloved Taos Bed and Breakfast now exclusively for you! Enjoy the amenities of the former BnB - each room has its own bathroom, fireplace and relaxing space - plus, enjoy the hot tub and sauna, and spacious common areas! The Casa Europa is close to the town of Taos (a short 1.4 mile walk or drive to the historic plaza) but nestled in the peaceful pastoral river valley watered by the Rio Pueblo de Taos which flows from the historic Taos pueblo.
Guests at Casa Europa occupy a 7000 square foot two story building first built in the 1700s as a small adobe casita, and then added on to and remodeled to the highest standards. We have kept the names on the rooms that were there from the original Bed and Breakfast. This historic 7000+ square foot adobe was crafted by European immigrants who fell in love with Taos, hence the name Casa Europa. There are reminders of the original european owners throughout the place, including coats of arms (see pictures) and even battleaxes in the long and formal dining room, all alongside the large beam vigas and plaster we associate with Taos. Downstairs is the eat-in kitchen, dining room with fireplace that seats 12+, and the large main gathering room, with a fireplace, large-screen TV and a spiral stair to the library landing, above. All bedrooms have their own bathrooms with a shower, and some have bathtubs. Three bedrooms are downstairs: the Willow room, with a queen bed and a twin bed on a banco near the fireplace, the English Room, with a queen bed/fireplace/sitting area, and the private Spa Room (made for honeymooners with a separate entrance) with a queen bed, fireplace, and a steam room/ jacuzzi tub. Up the main staircase is another large gathering room with huge vigas (logs) in the high ceiling, with a foldout sofabed. There are three more bedrooms upstairs, which are the Taos Mountain Room, which has a queen bed and a twin bed on a banco near the fireplace, and another pullout twin bed below; the French room, which has a king bed and exotic tile on the kiva fireplace and a middle-eastern style mirror covering most of one wall, and lastly the two room Southwest Suite, with a queen bed in the bedroom area and a large sitting area that can sleep an extra person. The Southwest Suite also has a bidet and jetted bathtub. We have plenty of off-street parking on premises for your group. The kitchen has a 6 burner/ 2 full oven Viking Professional stove and all the kitchen necessities that can feed your large group or family. Enjoy green and county quiet that is still near town, with all the amenities you could want!
