10/10
We felt lucky to have been able to stay in beautiful Casa Turquesa. The photos of the views don’t do it justice: we were amazed day after day at the ever-changing magnificence of the mountains. The house was perfect for us: comfortable, well-appointed (be sure to check supplies before you buy groceries as almost everything you could need is probably already there). The details of the home are carefully thought out and exactly how we needed them to be: the master suite is comfortable and private with a small office, the guest suite is smaller but similarly comfortable. If I had one complaint it’s that the mattress in the master is foam, which I find too hot. The extended outdoor space felt like outdoor rooms; every hour of every day there was somewhere comfortable to sit or lie, sunny or shady depending on our mood or preference. The home is located in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo range, in a quiet development less than a mile north of the Plaza. It’s an easy 20 minute walk to town, which I did most days we were there. Within an hour and-a-half’s drive we were able to visit pueblos, historic sites, national parks, warm mineral springs, interesting hikes of varying difficulty, and, of course Taos and Albuquerque. We just can’t say enough about this property.
