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!

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.

Beautiful Casita with every amenity. Completely private, yet a 5 minute walk from the Plaza! And many excellent restaurants within walking distance. Plus, and this is very important to us, we we able to have our canine companion with us. Victoria was available and very helpful with regard to all things local. We often travel through Santa Fe and this will be our go to place.

Santa Fe, what could be better?

First, the property is sleek and clean, yet beautiful. We enjoyed a 10 day stay. It was a quite location, and not tons of bright lights, which is just what we wanted, and yet .3 miles to Rail Yard, and .3 to Plaza, so we rarely drove anywhere.... love to walk. The bed was excellent, well stocked. Very much a Class A property.

Casita Ristra Getaway

Opening the door on arrival revealed a casita beyond our expectations which is such a wonderful way to kickoff a vacation. The high ceilings make the rooms feel open and airy. Care has obviously been taken with the decor and supplies. Lovely and so comfortable and well-appointed. The sofa and king-size bed were incredibly comfortable. We slept so well there. The patio is very private and wraps around the casita. We love the neighborhood! So close to the plaza and a quick drive for groceries. Victoria is a wonderful host, welcoming and informative but not intrusive at in any way. Wonderful!

Fantastic Stay in Santa Fe

I wish all VRBOs were as classy as this one! Everything about it was top-notch. Victoria is an excellent host and communicator and she takes great care in ensuring the casita is well-maintained and everything is ready for her guests. The location was minutes away (walking) from the Santa Fe Plaza, restaurants, shops, entertainment, etc. We walked almost everywhere except for our visits to Museum Hill, the Botanical Garden, and Taos. The local restaurants are amazing!! We loved coming back to the restful, beautiful casita every evening. Parking was right outside the gate, the beds and couches were very comfortable, and the kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. It's a wonderful place to stay and we will definitely be back!

Perfect Santa Fe Getaway

It's always a little overwhelming trying to find a nice place to stay while visiting, especially given all the choices we had in Santa Fe this time. Grateful that there were so many choices but even more grateful that we chose Victoria's property, Casita Ristra. She was a pleasure to speak with and provided a great list of restaurants in both Santa Fe and Albuquerque. The casita was extremely clean, comfortable, and well thought out - everything we needed for our stay was iincluded - including her "secret" guest coffee. The location was perfect. It's just minutes away from The Plaza, railyards, coffee shops, restaurants, and local sights. We walked everywhere, leaving the car at the casita, except for our trips to the Ski and Hiking areas that were a very short and beautiful drive away. The neighborhood is unbelievably quiet and safe and it was indeed a pleasure to go "home" at the end of every day. One thing for sure, we no longer have to worry about finding a place to stay in Santa Fe...this is the one for us! Thank you, Victoria!

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).

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
