You could not ask for a better location--walking distance to the Plaza, next door to museums and two good restaurants. The place itself is both beautiful and comfortable. The property manager is way beyond accommodating. We loved our stay there. Two small reservations that may or may not be important to you: the internet is quite slow and the signal doesn't reach through the whole casita. If you're planning a trip that relies on internet availability, it is a consideration. The bathroom is on the opposite side of the casita from the bedroom; if you are a person who has to get up multiple times in a night to go the bathroom, it is a tad inconvenient.
The casita is wonderfully charming and close to everything. I hope to stay there again!
This historical casita is perfect for us. Location we love as we have family within walking distance but we are repeat customers because we love the casita and our host: Helen. Also, had a chance to meet one of owners. They have at least 3 casitas at this location. Having toured one other, I’d recommend the 2 story as well. We go twice a year. Very happy!
This is an incredible historic adobe home: beautiful, comfortable, and well located. The hostess was gracious and communicative. Can't recommend this more highly. Note for visitors: Due to it's location I was able to forgo a rental vehicle and walk easily within the town of Taos. However if you're planning to go to locations further afield a vehicle is a must.
Great location for us. Close to our family and wonderful quaint but modernized casita. We will be staying twice a year. We met the delightful owner and our host(ess), Helen, is top notch! If you love historic homes you’ll love this gem.
This place was exactly as described. In fact, it was roomier and bigger than I expected. Plenty of room to relax in the living room after a day of skiing. Close to restaurants and a grocery store. Everything worked. The check in/out could not have been easier. I highly recommend it.
This is a lovely place in a nice location. There is a front courtyard, but no outdoor area for sitting/ lounging. This didn’t matter for us, since we visited in the winter.
Loved the location and the house. Helen was easy to communicate with, plus the only small issue I had (blender broke) was solved ASAP.
Perfect place for us! I almost hate to rate this well because I want to rent it again and again so I want it to be available. I have elderly family living in the center of town so this location, also very centrally located, was perfect. The building itself is historic, another plus for us. But everything where you need it, is up to date. Well, everything is updated. My husband snores so eventually I slept on the comfy trundle bed with pocket doors helping to insulate his noise. Kitchen was well stocked and washer dryer was a plus. Pretty much a quiet street with Inger Jirby gallery across the street and 2 main museums doors away. Helen, the caretaker was marvelous. Very accommodating.
The house is perfect for 2 people. Spacious and 2 blocks to the plaza. Cannot think of one thing this house did not have, we’ve decided this is our best VRBO yet. The house was beautifully decorated and comfortable. We loved it.
Loved our stay at Casa de Flores. All the conveniences of home in an awesome location! Beautiful home. Everything was apt on as advertised!
My husband and I stayed here in September 2021. I truly can’t say enough about how much we loved this little adobe house. We found ourselves wanting to “stay home” more than we wanted to venture out.
