Casas de Sueños

Casas de Sueños Review

This historic compound of 1930s- and '40s-era adobe casitas is perfect if you're seeking seclusion and quiet, yet seek proximity to museums, restaurants, and shops. Casas de Sueños (sueños means dreams in Spanish) is a few blocks south of Old Town Plaza, but on a peaceful residential street fringing the lush grounds of Albuquerque Country Club. The individually decorated units, which open onto a warren of courtyards and gardens, come in a variety of shapes and configurations. Typical features include Saltillo-tile floors, wood-burning kiva-style fireplaces, leather or upholstered armchairs, skylights, and contemporary Southwestern furnishings. Many rooms have large flat-screen TVs with DVD players and CD stereos, and some sleep as many as four adults. The full breakfast is served outside in the garden when the weather permits, and inside a lovely artists' studio at other times.
