Casita Ristra is a freestanding house artfully created to give one couple or single that perfect luxury downtown Santa Fe living experience. Read my reviews, please, as even my great photos don't quite show how exceptional - inviting and peaceful - the feeling in the casita truly is! You will love the sense of how much care has been put into making this your favorite place to retreat, while being minutes from everything!

Quiet and hidden behind a unique locked double gate, Casita Ristra is only three short blocks from the historic Santa Fe Plaza, two blocks from the Georgia O’Keeffe museum and one from the Santa Fe Convention Center. The Guadalupe Railyard District is also only a few blocks away and a pleasant walk to famous Canyon Road along the Alameda River Walk.

Sunny with high ceilings, hand-carved beams in every room, numerous skylights and historic-style divided-light windows. Colorful Southwest rugs and color scheme warm and brighten the spirit. Feel at home in every way!

You have a private coyote-fenced flagstone patio in the front courtyard perfect for coffee or charcoal-grill barbecue at the umbrella table seating 4 (for your old or new friends!) and a covered pergola patio off the master so you can relax in the Summer shade or watch the snowfall in Winter.

King bed, large airy bedroom, fine linens, soft pillows, ironed pillowcase, a top-quality mattress, 32" Smart HD flatscreen TV and Preferred Cable. The living room also has an extra-large Smart HD flatscreen TV and Preferred Cable and a real wood burning traditional kiva fireplace (with complimentary first-fire fragrant pinon firewood set-up).

The kitchen is fully and thoughtfully equipped with added conveniences, a gas stove, double-door stainless refrigerator (filtered water and ice), microwave, and handsome tableware.

The bathroom has oodles of cabinet storage and a terrific custom-tiled shower (with grab bar) and washer/dryer for your use.

Other amenities include "real" refrigerated central air-conditioning and forced air heating system, free super-high-speed wireless internet, great closet space with lots of hangers, full-length mirror, luggage racks and extra blankets, overhead fans, extra table fan, humidifier, yoga mat.

We clean the casita ourselves, so it is CLEAN (read: pristine) and everything works!

We had 6 perfect days in this casita. It was absolutely perfect. The place was spotless and had everything we needed for our stay. Victoria was helpful from the time we reserved this property until we checked out. She gave us recommendations for restaurants and sites to visit during our stay. We would definitely stay here again!

Ideal for Santa Fe tourism

This spacious, attractive, well-equipped, spotless, quiet casita is a short stroll to all the main tourist attractions downtown as well as having easy access by car to the best hiking areas and the opera. The host has provided good guidance to area restaurants and is very responsive to guests’ needs (although there won’t be many she hasn’t anticipated).

The house was great. It was well stocked, clean and spacious for my wife and I. It was fenced in for privacy and could sit outside and relax and eat as had nice outdoor patios. The location was great. We were able to walk almost everywhere we wanted to go in town with the supermarket and Whole Foods only short drives. The owner was great. She provided us with all the information we needed for our stay and was very accessible and helpful with lots of recommendations for restaurants. When we go back to Santa Fe will definitely try to stay there again. It couldn’t have been better

Santa Fe Home Away from Home

After having to move away from Santa Fe last year, we needed a week away from our Denver home during a kitchen remodel. This casita was beyond our expectations. The location is perfect if you want to be near the plaza, the furnishings were tasteful, the accommodation spotless and we really enjoyed using both patios. We're already discussing our next trip so we can book it again.

Our favorite getaway

We have been coming to Santa Fe for years…we just love it! Our stay at Casita Ristra ranks as one of our best experiences in Santa Fe. The casita is everything you could ask for in a home away from home. We are looking forward to coming back and staying longer! The owner/manager was a gem to communicate with.

Lovely rental - Great location

The casita is set back off the street and surrounded by attractive privacy fencing. Quiet ! The decor is relaxed Southwestern, comfortable and clean. The owner has given thought to the needs of her clients, and the casita is VERY well stocked from the kitchen to the bath. The location is close to the plaza and navigation to the outskirts of Santa Fe (like Hyde Park) is simple. Highly recommend

Santa Fe Gem

This was our first trip to Santa Fe and we could not have asked for anything more! Victoria and her casita were huge contributing factors to the succes of our visit. The casita is walking distance to all of the restaurants, museums and galleries that Santa Fe has to offer but was still on a quiet street so we didn't hear or feel the hustle and bustle. Victoria has stocked the casita with everything we needed for our stay. Guests interested in staying for an extended time (hopefully us some time in the not-to-distant future!) will find a home-away-from-home. The outdoor space was an added bonus for our morning coffee and evening beverages. Santa Fe is a magical place and this casita was the perfect launching point allowing us to explore and then reenergize.
