About this property

Casa Bendita Luxury Stay on Acequia Madre

HIGHLIGHTS-
• Private, gated setting
• Authentic adobe architecture
• Expansive portals & outdoor living spaces
• Chef’s kitchen
• Spacious, comfortable bedrooms
• Peaceful, secluded atmosphere
• Generous open-concept living areas
• Professionally managed with concierge-level care

Hidden behind adobe walls, with a private front garden of old-time roses, along the original Acequia of Santa Fe... as it winds its way through one of the city's most historic and sought-after beloved "Acequia Madre"...

One finds this enchanting home, lovingly named Casa Bendita, "House of Blessings", steeped in history and beautifully updated in casual elegance, while its exterior of true New Mexico adobe encases the simple luxuries inside.  

The king bedroom with en-suite bath offers patio doors to the outdoor oasis of enclosed and gated privacy. Guests enjoy designer seating around a large fire pit (wonderful for star gazing), al fresco dining for 4 with the convenient Weber titanium grill, while seated at the 6-foot outdoor dining table, with the company of two smiling Buddha fountains peacefully joining in. Recently planted Aspen trees grace this enchanting backyard, with tin-made St. Francis of Assisi and other decorative tin hearts and birds adorning the walled-in space of Casa Bendita. Non-smoking property inside and outside.

Beautiful furnishings throughout the home, as well as comfortable rocking chairs on the front and back portals of the home invite guests to relax and enjoy all the surrounds of charming Santa Fe, while just a few steps away from the famous Canyon Road Historic Arts District, offering treasured art galleries and restaurants, in this magical, historic and revered east side setting.

Luxuriate with FRETTE Italian bath towels and a slipper tub for herbal soaks after a day of Santa Fe shopping and sightseeing.  Wishing you sweet dreams under Casa Bendita's elegant, crisp percale linens along with the coziest of comforters, and monogrammed robes from Portugal. The guest bedroom with queen platform bed and full bath immediately outside the bedroom door is just another luxurious, private setting. Both bedrooms have wall-mounted televisions that offer streaming as well as cable, as does the wall mounted television in the living room, with its sophisticated Sonos sound system.

The Casa is fully AIR-CONDITIONED with the beautiful coved Viga ceilings, complementing hand-troweled diamond plaster walls. There is wood flooring, a chef's kitchen with open concept design, and a master bathroom that is an absolute 'wow'.  Designer Navajo-inspired woven wool rugs adorn throughout, ceiling fans in bedrooms (in addition to air conditioning), and a European heating system.  The kitchen offers a stainless Viking French Door refrigerator, Jennair gas stove/oven, Bosch dishwasher, and Breville microwave. There is generous counter cooking space, and all the Breville, Cuisinart, Keurig, and Iron Clad small appliances and cookware you need to complete whatever project you're cooking or baking.  Counter seating for 4.

Those who are fortunate to have been guests at Casa Bendita have fallen in love with this most special property.  They have delighted in calling it "Home" during their Santa Fe stay, whether it be for a couple of weeks or a couple of months or longer. Guests now lovingly call their most favorite Casa Bendita .... "Casa B"!!!

Casa Bendita is ideally situated near some of Santa Fe's most renowned restaurants, including the acclaimed Geronimo and The Compound, just a short 5-7 minute walk.

Covered parking for 2-car tandem carport (Large vehicles MAY NOT fit in driveway due to new gate installation) and approximately 1265 square feet. Non-smoking property inside and outside.

Taking care of Family business in Santa Fe

This lovely home was a perfect location for my sister and I to visit our elderly father going into hospice. Casa Bendita had everything we needed for an extremely comfortable stay. Moreover, it allowed us to cook great meals with the chef appointed kitchen but was also close enough to walk to many of Santa Fe’s great restaurants. Donna was the perfect point contact for us and the owner even visited us with some special locally made chocolates. Thank you very much!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review. We’re honored that Casa Bendita could provide a comfortable and peaceful place for you and your sister during such an important time with your father. It means a great deal to know the home, kitchen, and location helped make your stay a bit easier and allowed you to enjoy time together. I’ll be sure to share your kind words with the owner—they will be very touched. Wishing you and your family comfort, and we would be glad to welcome you back to Santa Fe anytime.

Great kitchen

Beautifully appointed kitchen, Great appliances. Do be aware the dishwasher door does fall open quickly. Large tv, but only streaming . No live local tv. Excellent beds/ sheets. Good laundry facilities. Very unusual layout We very much enjoyed our stay. Nice very interesting art/ sculptures. A little tricky coming in at night with suitcases. Walkway uneven, but we got used to it. Bottom line, extremely nicely done quirky little place

Top notch!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Wow! What a great home! Casa Bendita is as pictured, shining clean with a beautifully decorated interior and wonderful outdoor space. The house is quiet, comfortable, and equipped with everything you need for your stay. Towels and bed linens: excellent. Dishes, cutlery and equipment in the kitchen: thoughtfully chosen with an eye toward aesthetics as well as functionality. Location: perfect for us. A safe and quiet neighborhood within a few minutes drive of downtown. We most appreciated: the responsiveness and good communication with SFVR from start to finish; sitting on the back patio with our morning coffee or in the evening with a glass of wine; the proximity to Canyon Road; being able to walk to and from the best restaurant we visited in Santa Fe. (Geronimo, highly recommended!) We would happily stay here again, and will recommend Casa Bendita to family and friends coming to visit Santa Fe. Five stars!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: One of our best vacation rental experiences. Not only were the amenities and condition of the property perfect, but every possible need of guests was seen to: coffee, paper products, bottled water, etc. Location is also great. It is walking distance to the Canyon Road galleries and restaurants. A special treat are the beautiful courtyard gardens in the front and back of the property, with lots of comfortable seating in both, and a fire pit in back. Please see the photos provided - they are accurate. I highly recommend this rental.

Casa Bendita: A Gorgeous Property

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Although the photos online reveal a most beautiful property, they do not do justice to how wonderful it really is. First of all, the outdoor space is priceless, both front yard and back yard. The location is superb for Santa Fe; an easy 10 minute walk through the historic and serene Eastside gets you to the center of Santa Fe, a routine my wife and I did nearly every day of our month long stay. Furthermore, just one block gets you to the art galleries and restaurants on Canyon Road.The interior has been totally updated. The kitchen area is spacious and very functional for an extended stay. The only drawback for this property is that it's short on closet space.We loved this property and our month long stay in Santa Fe!

Proud Cultures

Santa Fe and surrounding 100 miles is interesting and beautiful- in so many ways: Cultures- honoring the past, present while looking to the future. Architecture, landscapes, cuisine are remarkable. Museums, National Parks and local sites of interest. Artistic community of various mediums represented. Initiatives to care deeply about cultures and the environmental issues of today.

Hit the jackpot here. I almost don’t want to write the review so the word doesn’t get out. But this property deserves all kinds of praises. Top dollar touches, Nambe, appliances, sheets, towels. The courtyard, fire pit, the perfect quiet but close to everything location. 100% perfect. Can’t wait to return.
