This was our first time to Taos. The location was perfect, right in the centre of town. We could walk everywhere.
This is such a lovely adobe home. It is cozy and comfy. The hosts are exceptionally prompt over email and I can't say enough good things. This is a wonderful place for a romantic getaway.

My wife and I truly enjoyed our stay at Casa de Flores. The place is beautiful and cozy. We enjoyed nights by the fire. Helen, the host, was very helpful. We will stay there again on our next visit.

Wonderful Taos experience. Casa De Flores was the perfect Adobe home for our trip. Loved exploring the town of Taos and all its history, charm and friendly people. The mountain views are spectacular. Skiing Taos Ski Valley and hiking was unforgettable. The variety of restaurants, live music, art galleries and shops were fantastic. Our Casa De Flores host was very helpful. Thank you for a wonderful Trip!

Place is as described. Good location close to square. Property was clean and everything was working and as described. Parking is limited. Great place.

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.
5.0
The casita is wonderfully charming and close to everything. I hope to stay there again!

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.
5.0
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.

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.

Great location within walking distance of shopping, museums, churches and restaraunts. Close enough to go skiing at Taus ski resort.

The ideal location and charm of Taos. Could hear church bells on the hour and just a stone's throw from the Plaza. Had the opportunity to meet many, many locals. Truly awesome stay. Blessed to find this place.

Over the past six years, we have been taking a break from New England winters to spend a couple of weeks in Taos. We have rented a variety of places and Casa De Flores is the best one yet. Located just a block from the plaza, it's a vintage Taos casita with all the amenities you could ask for.

Thank you for the wonderful visit.

We loved staying at Casa De Flores. We really really didn't want to leave and head back home. The location if fantastic for access to all the heritage district has to offer. Shops and restaurants are within easy walking distance, and one of our favorite museums, the blumenschein, is right next door. The house if fully set up for cooking and very comfortable. There were only two of us, so the size was perfect.
I had various communication with Helen, and she was very very responsive and helpful. Thanks Helen!
We would absolutely stay at Casa De Flores again.

The casita was gorgeous and clean!
5.0
This casita is beautifully and artfully decorated, yet still homey and inviting. It is perfectly maintained and stocked with everything you might need or want. The front garden is perfect for morning coffee or afternoon wine. On top of everything, the host could not be more responsive and considerate. She went out of her way to make sure fragrance-free products were used in preparation for my stay due to a fragrance sensitivity. I cannot recommend this property highly enough.
