We stayed at this great condo. It was not far from where Mom lived in her assisted living complex. The condo was comfort...

About this property

Casita Bella: rustic contemporary, quiet private across from Four Seasons

Tranquil, sophisticated, rustic chic Casita Bella is nestled in the foothills of the majestic Sangre de Cristo mountains just minutes north of downtown Santa Fe in a small community named Pueblo Encantado consisting of 36 condos spread across 95 private acres of unadulterated beauty.

Casita Bella offers a refined mountain lodge experience. The LIVING ROOM is beautifully appointed with leather seating, 55" samsung tv and blue ray dvd player and internet throughout, fireplace, leather writing desk and tasteful, rustic wall art. The KITCHEN is well-appointed with stainless steel appliances, Cuisinart cookware, granite counters and Bose bluetooth speaker. On the same level as the kitchen is a cozy DINING ROOM with marble table and antique hutch. The MASTER BEDROOM offers a Michael Taylor designed king-size bed, high thread count linens, kiva fireplace, writing desk, oversize reading chair and large closet. The 2ND BEDROOM has a queen size solid teak 4 post bed with upscale linens, reading chair, chest of drawers, 32" TV, and large closet. BATHROOMS are appointed with Aveda travel soaps/shampoo. The master bath has a step in tub and 2nd bath has an updated marble-tiled shower. The oversized PATIO is slightly canopied by sculpted piñon trees, Hanamint patio furniture, bistro table and 4 chairs, clay fire-pot and magnificent views of Jemez mountain range and Santa Fe Opera House way in the distance.

Enjoy countless trails and hiking paths up the hill tops right outside your door. A pool (heated between end of May and October) is 20 yards away. Opera House is 7 minutes away. Four Seasons Resort is across the street from Pueblo Encantado. Downtown Santa Fe and world renown art galleries are 10 highway miles south (12 minutes drive). For those who enjoy true peace and quiet, a magnificent night sky awaits on our patio ABSOLUTELY FREE OF NOISE!

Casita Bella offers the best of all worlds!

Checking in on Mom

We stayed at this great condo. It was not far from where Mom lived in her assisted living complex. The condo was comfortable and we slept well. We brought our dog which was wonderful. He too was comfortable in the space. The area is quiet and we enjoyed the natural surroundings. Great weekend. Would like to go back in the warmer seasons to enjoy the patio.

Exceeded Expectations!

We had a wonderful experience at Casita Bella and enjoyed the hospitality provided. Check in was flawless, cleanliness was spotless and the accuracy of the listing was spot on. Location is ideal for early morning hikes at the base of the Santo Cristo mountains and birdwatching or photography of the Rocky Mountain ranges. Easy access to explore northern NM as well as downtown Santa Fe. Absolutely delighted with our stay and appreciate being accomodated for an extended stay.

Amazing condo!

Beautiful condo in a beautiful area! Feels secluded but only a short drive from all Santa Fe has to offer! Probably the nicest, cleanest condo I have rented on VRBO. The owners were great… very communicative & helpful. I would give more than 5 stars if I could.

Lovely accommodations in the perfect location

This is a lovely, spacious condo located just outside the city. Serene and quiet at night but only minutes from all the oldtown fun. Many thoughtful touches from our hosts, a fully stocked kitchen and plenty of linens and paper goods. The courtyard is quite spacious and comfortable. Our hosts were immediately responsive and extraordinarily helpful, especially for a holiday weekend. An exceptional stay.

Beautiful casita

This property is amazing! Every detail covered. Wood burning fireplace, beautifully decorated, well-stocked kitchen, picturesque views, great location. We were a few minutes from the plaza, 45 minutes to Ski Santa Fe, across the road from the Four Seasons. Would highly recommend this home and will book again!

Relaxation Plus!

We have stayed at other units in this neighborhood and this one had the best patio. The landscape provides privacy. The interior was decorated nicely and comfortable sofa. Easy to use TV. We only used the bed in the main bedroom and it was comfortable. A/C worked to our satisfaction as well. The grill is on the smaller side, and owners are looking into upgrading it. Walking distance to pool. Communication with Owner very good. Otherwise, we had a lovely and relaxing visit.! Looking forward to our next trip there.

Little Piece of New Mexico Heaven

Casita Bella is well-named -- the location and property are both absolutely beautiful. Everything from the quality linens and fully equipped kitchen to the owners' great taste in furnishings and art made for a lovely stay -- ours was a full three weeks and we wished it could have been longer! The restaurants, shopping, museums and crowds of Santa Fe are just a short drive away, but Casita Bella is blissfully surrounded by trees, mountains and views. There are great hikes nearby and the sunsets from the porch are incredible! Highly recommend!

A favorite

Casita Bella is charming, comfortable, immaculate and stylish. Just a short drive from downtown Santa Fe, it's very private with beautiful walks and views. The kitchen is stocked with everything you'd possibly need. Linens are high quality. Everything is "like new" clean. Add to this that the interiors are classic and beautifully curated; it's a really wonderful place to stay! We come back again and again.

Art for All the Senses

What an amazing space, inside and outside! Casita Bella is located on magnificent and placid foothills located just outside of town. If you’re looking for balance (I know my sister and I were), this location has it. It’s quiet, exquisitely decorated with art, and the views of the red desert against the purple sunsets are the things memories are made of. Not to mention all the stars. Casita Bella is just a short tip from Santa Fe and so many amazing shops and places to eat. I loved the local scene and all of the history of the area. I can’t wait to go back (for covid to end) and come back to Santa Fe for the open air markets and art (native and Georgia O’Keeffe). This was a perfect trip that wouldn’t have been possible without Chuck and Rob’s little gem to set the tone.

About the host

Hosted by Charles Calloway

Rob and I have been living in Dallas, Texas for 20+ years. We love the" big city" and all of the variety it has to offer. Both of us grew up in small Texas towns and feel that it might be time to slow our pace and return, at least part-time, to an ideal that allows us to appreciate our beautiful natural surroundings, breathe really clean air and clear our minds of all the noise we have collected over the years.

Why they chose this property

We chose Casita Bella because we wanted a home near a culturally active city but we didn't want to be in the heart of it. We wanted a place that had a sense of calm and that respected its natural surroundings. The modest 1300 sq ft unit melts right into the natural landscape. We were careful in our selection of furniture and accessories in hopes that it would not detract from the beautiful setting but, instead, would compliment it. We feel that Casita Bella is an enchanting place. We truly hope you will enjoy it.
