Note: Once reserved, Owner will directly email Guest full details for your stay. You will receive a text from 505.989.1088 to notify you to check your email.

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!

Ask about combining this casita with others nearby for your friends or relatives. Or for my assistance in your real estate interests - I am a New Mexico licensed Santa Fe Realtor, devoted to my clients!
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a furnished balcony or patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom.

Victoria was super-responsive, even checking in when a storm came through town during our stay. Useful information was shared well in advance & check-in was seamless. The casita is large! In addition to a roomy living room & well-stocked kitchen, there is plenty of space to maneuver around the plush king size bed. The shower is large and lovely; Victoria has added many thoughtful touches. The L-shaped exterior wraps around two sides of the casita, all enclosed behind a stunning aspen fence. While the home is near the Plaza, the feeling is that of a quiet, historic neighborhood. We spent a very comfortable week at Victoria’s casita and would highly recommend it to you.
The parking place is off the street & so convenient to the entrance.
From one end of the L-shaped exterior is a patio table, umbrella and chairs. The other end, around the corner, features comfortable, shaded seating. Our dog had a good time too.

We could go on and on about how much we enjoyed Casita Ristra, our home away from home for five nights. The central, yet quiet, location couldn't have been better with so many restaurants, sites, park areas, and shopping within walking distance. Inside, the home is beautifully furnished, comfortable, and well equipped with everything we needed. The two private patio areas were perfect for enjoying the cool mornings and afternoon sun. We appreciated Victoria's detailed communications before and during our arrival, and her recommendations to activities in the area. Dale Ball Trail, the International Art Museum, the New Mexico History Museum, and the Palace of Governors were spot on to our interests. And, if you're bringing a dog, the 158-acre Frank Ortiz Dog Park is amazing with its vistas and ability to wear out Fido for the day. When we return to Santa Fe, Casita Ristra will be our first choice.

She provided us with all the information we needed for our stay and was very accessible and helpful with lots of recommendations for restaurants.

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.

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.

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.

Perfect casita for 2 in central Santa Fe….. 3 blocks from the plaza.

First of all, I have to say, that Victoria's Casita Rista is better than the pictures in the listing. We were pleasantly suprised at how much bigger it was than the photos conveyed. The casita was in a quiet neighborhood and within walking distance from the plaza. Probably about 8 blocks from the start of Canyon Road. The casita also was immaculately clean with very clear instructions for working all the appliances/locks/etc. Dish soap, laundry soap, kitchen utensils and many spices were available (and a toaster for the wonderful bread sold at the farmers market). WIFI and TV easy to use/connect. The outside patio(s) were also large and private. Parking was off the street and easy. There was some road construction, but once we got to know the neighborhood, it was easy to get around.In the 6 days/nights we were there, we only drove our car 2 or 3 times. So much to do withing walking distance.If you are looking for a private casita for 2 in Santa Fe, this is the place!Eric and Janet

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
