The La Puebla valley has several aquifers which allows us to maintain a splendid orchard with 60 fruit trees of different varieties and a gorgeous multi-season flower garden. Casa Paraiso is the creation of husband team, Giancarlo Solimano and Kurt Schmidt, who purchased the property 9 years ago and transformed it into a true oasis in the middle of the New Mexico desert. It is one of those magical places where the world simply slips away once entering its boundaries. It is not only an air B n B destination but an immersive retreat space where one can truly decompress from city life. The accommodation - Casita #1 - is a 500 square feet studio with the living/kitchen area separated from the bedroom and bathroom. The modern chic organic decor of this casita, inspired by Northern African and Santa Fe architecture creates a sense of relaxation and an intimate connection to the environment. The casita also features an enclosed private backyard where guests can relax and enjoy outdoor privacy. The kitchen window faces the extensive orchard and picturesque barn. Kurt, who was raised in an organic farm in Michigan has created a sustainable homestead on the nearly 2 acres of the property, by practising regenerative principles. Casa Paraiso's extended family includes a flock of chicken, sheep, a parrot name "birdie" and our sweet dobermann Farah. We provide our guests with in season veggies, fruits and eggs every morning… Giancarlo studied design in NYC and has transformed the original 1940s adobe structure of Casita #1 into a modern designer environment where guests can experience a unique and stunning decor. Guests have access to beautiful outdoor features. such as an asian-inspired koi pond area for sitting and contemplating or an outdoor dining area with a grill in the lush grassy orchard. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Designated smoking areas ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Property does not allow children ## Similar properties ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/96000000/95220000/95212700/95212651/877a44be.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Dos Hermanas Casita 2 | Walk to Plaza | Courtyard Downtown Santa Fe - Air conditioning - Parking available - Microwave - Kitchen 10 Exceptional 35 reviews £218 includes taxes & fees 4 Jan - 5 Jan 2026 [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-04&endDate=2026-01-05&selected=95212651&PinnedHotelID=95212651&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property amenity](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/890000/889700/889631/03ccc008.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Piñon Court By La Fonda Downtown Santa Fe - Breakfast included - Pet-friendly - Restaurant - Air conditioning 9.4 Exceptional 1,053 reviews £127 includes taxes & fees 14 Dec - 15 Dec [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-14&endDate=2025-12-15&selected=889631&PinnedHotelID=889631&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 3:00 PM Minimum check-in age - 18 ### Check-out Check-out before 12:00 PM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions Information provided by the property may be translated using automated translation tools ### Pets Pets not allowed ### Children and extra beds This property does not allow children ### Events Events allowed: family gatherings, birthday parties, weddings ### Smoking Smoking allowed: in designated areas ## Important information ### You need to know This property is managed by a professional host.
