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!

This is our second time renting this location. It is close to everything. It is clean, well equipped and the Casitas is very comfortable and relaxing. I highly recommend it. Our host is helpful, friendly and gave great recommendations.
Great location Fully furnished and stocked with supplies to make a weeks stay comfortable. Great nonintrusive communication with owner Highly recommended.
We did not do the winery tour but I gave it 5* because I didn't want to hurt the rating. This was the nicest vrbo we have ever had and will stay there again if we return. Victoria excells in every aspect as a host. Having a laundry and fireplace was definitely a plus. It was so centrally located to everything we wanted to see and perfect for walkers.
The casita was perfect for my spouse and I. It was close to the plaza but very quiet and private. I liked that I didn’t have to cross a busy street to get to the central area.
A very nice casita located in a quiet neighborhood near the area known as the Plaza. The owner communicates readily to offer tips for a pleasant stay.Clean and comfortable. Good restaurants within walking distance.
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.
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.
Everything about this property was excellent. Exactly what we needed and in a very walkable neighborhood. We walked to everything in old Santa Fe and enjoyed quick and easy drives out of town for hikes
We have stayed in many Santa Fe properties throughout the years, this Casita is a standout ! it is beautiful and in a great neighborhood perfectly located within the city. The owner is attentive and easily reached. Great Experience!
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
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.
Our stay at Casita Ristra was incredible. Very well appointed, and expertly outfitted. Victoria is a gracious and thoughtful VRBO host. A short walk to all your needs in a central Santa Fe location. We’d stay again in a heartbeat.
We loved our time in Santa Fe, especially being so walkable to everything from this gorgeous Casita. It was just the right size for 2 people, very comfortable and plenty of space to relax, cook at home, and have a little fire in the kiva fireplace.
Our host was extremely communicative. She was fast and helpful to respond to the few questions/issues we had.
