Otero-By-The-Plaza :: Three blocks to the historical Plaza and five blocks to art-studded Canyon Road, this adobe compound is nestled into the wooded knoll that overlooks historic Santa Fe. Aside from its uncommonly close proximity to all Santa Fe has to offer, its great appeal is its sense of space, its quiet privacy, its beautiful colors and decor, its safe residential neighborhood, and its flexibility in accommodating from 1 to 16 guests. A favorite for reunions and celebrations, the 3/4 acre haven adjoins Old Fort Marcy Park with its 360-degree ring-of-mountain views and breathtaking sunsets. Just beyond is National Forest....Otero-by-the-Plaza is both downtown and country; the ideal location. :: PLEASE NOTE: To see all of our homes located close to the Plaza and for an always-up-to-date availability calendar, please go to our own web page by way of the link below.

Cute casita and a great location

Review Submitted: January 21, 2012 Date of Stay: December 2011
We stayed at Casa Galaria over New Years. Very cute casita - comfortable and nicely decorated. The location is perfect - just a few blocks to the square. We will definitely stay here again.

Review Submitted: March 10, 2010 Date of Stay: March 2010
We had a fabulous stay. The color, light, art and artifacts were a constant source of interest. Noel's paintings are wonderful and decorate most of the rooms. If, by chance, Russ shares some of his stories, you will be enthralled. There book on where to go and what to eat was great. We had wonderful food as a result. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone.

Review Submitted: November 8, 2009 Date of Stay: November 2009
My family and I rented Casa Colores, one of the
Colorful Santa Fe group of homes. We totally enjoyed
our stay. The home was decorated beautifully and
uniquely, the kitchen was complete, and the
neighborhood was quiet, even though we were in easy
walking distance to the plaza. We'll definitely return!
