The Cervantes house is a traditional 1800s adobe casa showcasing NM art
Located at the point where Albuquerque's New Town meets Old Town, this 19th century house was once an Indian arts gallery. In the 1970s when Indian jewelry, pots and sandpaintings were popular, Native American artists worked here and sold their wares. Galleria de Cervantes brings back the spirit of that time. It is filled with many forms of Indian and Hispanic arts and also a variety of art from contemporary southwest artists. New Mexico galleries often featured a guest room in the building since many collectors came to the area to buy art. This comfortable house hearkens back to this tradition in a setting that includes popular low-rider parades, mariachi competitions, jazz under the stars and one of the most magical Christmas traditions in the country -- luminarias throughout Old Town and neighboring communities. It is on a gated property and guests can walk to the major museums, sample local cuisine and shops. This restored adobe house at the edge of Old Town offers a cozy bedroom with 1 queen bed and 1 sofa bed, perfect for a comfortable stay. The bathroom features a glass block shower. With amenities like WiFi, AC, and heating, guests can relax and unwind after a day of exploring. This enjoyable retreat is the ideal home base for your trip to Albuquerque. Enjoy all that this vibrant city has to offer when you stay at our place.
Kris and Terry have restored historic homes in Albuquerque for over 40 years. 10 years ago they saved an old adobe compound and heard about the short term rental concept. They have been thrilled that so many people from all around the country have shared their enthusiasm for experiencing time in these old properties.
Old Town was a pueblo community hundreds of years before the Spanish arrived. It was a thriving community before the train actually came to Albuquerque in 1880. It is truly an area that represents the three cultures of New Mexico -- Native American, Hispanic and Anglo.
