An Intimate, Beloved Gem

Everyone--everyone--loves the Casa Chica, especially its past inhabitants who come back again and again. It is an intimate compound-within-a-compound, with separate sleeping and living houses linked by private sunny patios.

The kitchen opens onto a large shaded dining area.

The bedroom has a queen-size bed and ensuite bathroom.

There's an additional outdoor shower under a trellis of jasmine.

Private (if you wish, clothing-optional) sunny patios with sun cots, a hammock, and an outdoor "chiminea" or fireplace, perfect for crisp evenings.

Private parking.

The Casa Chica is built in the traditional palo travado style, evoking the timeless charm of local mountain ranchos. The exterior walls are woven sticks held together with clay, and the interior is plastered to a smooth finish to reflect the natural contours, creating a rustically elegant space with an organic feel.
