Great casa, great location

Casa Perla was very comfortable and perfect for us as a couple. The location is great as the plaza and many restaurants are a short walk or drive. We also enjoyed the restaurants nearby- Radish and Rye, Palacio Cafe, and La Boca., and the galleries of Canyon Road are close by. The Aspen Vista trail is a must during fall color season. Highly recommend Casa Perla while you explore Santa Fe.

Wonderful Place, Wonderful Time

I just spent a terrific week at Casa Perla. A group of my college classmates meet each summer in Santa Fe for opera, hiking and (too much) eating. This year, I stayed at Casa Perla, which is perfectly located within easy walking distance of both Canyon Road and the Plaza. Caroline is a thoughtful and gracious host, highly knowledgeable about new restaurants, galleries and the other great places Santa Fe has to offer. Casa Perla is remarkably quiet despite its central location, with very high end amenities and a beautiful, spacious patio. We had a great time. I can’t wait to return.

The patio opens up the house for a cool glass of wine, wonderful dining, and a delightful workspace if you must! The best location for a walkabout in the historic district or to shopping and restaurants. You can't go wrong.

It was a joy having this couple come to celebrate a birthday. It was all a matter of knowing how they wanted to enjoy their stay in Santa Fe, listening to their comments and questions and being able to translate that to the perfect house. That is just one of the important services of Aqui Santa Fe.

Nice stay

Fireplace doesnt draw right is only down side, u have to crack the door and it was 30 out. Location is easily walkable to downtown and has off street parking large enough for a van. Was very nice stay.

We are glad our guests enjoyed their stay despite the quirks sometimes found in old Santa Fe homes. The traditional kiva fireplaces pose a challenge sometimes and the note at the fireplace explains this. That said, I am always happy to assist in any way I can. Just give me a call. I know most of the tricks.

Perfectly Appointed Retreat

Casa Perla is beautifully appointed and up to the standards of those who appreciate luxury linens and a Wolf range. We had everything we needed for a restful stay. And the private patio is the perfect spot to enjoy the high desert air and sun shine. Bonus points for off street parking and an easy walk to the Plaza. We will be back!

Casa Perla is PERFECTO!

Casa Perla quickly felt like home to us and our two pups during the Christmas holiday. Everything you need is available and ready for you when you arrive and our property host was outstanding. We had a lovely gift basket full of goodies when we arrived and we thoroughly enjoyed the close proximity to amazing restaurants and shopping, all in walking distance to this amazing casita. Leaving was hard but we will be back again.

Cozy Santa Fe Retreat

My husband and I enjoyed a lovely autumn stay at Casa Perla. It was everything described and more! We found it well-appointed, cozy, and within walking distance to most of the heart of Santa Fe where we spent our time. Caroline also provided a helpful binder full of recommendations for dining, shopping, attractions, and everything else one could think of. We loved every minute and look forward to returning soon!

Casa Perla- perfectly adorned casita

My husband and I booked Casa Perla for a weekend getaway! We have been to Santa Fe numerous times and this was our favorite place to stay! The location was perfect and a quick walk to both Canyon Road and the Plaza. Parking was right out front and incredibly convenient. Furnishings were comfortable and we got great use of the Kiva. We will definitely be staying here again! Thank you, Caroline!

This is a beautifully appointed property. Amenities are top notch and the decor sophisticated. On a practical level, there is dedicated parking and an easy walk to the Plaza. On a personal level, the homeowner was generous and communicative. We felt well cared for. The lovely private patio is a cherry on top

Fantastic Location

This is by far the most fabulous place to stay to see historic Santa Fe. 1.5 mile walk to plaza, canyon road and historic Cathedral Basilica of St Francis. So much to do and to see. This place was very well stocked with a very comfortable bed, soft linens and towels. Wonderful kitchen. We will return!

Quaint casita walking distance to Plaza

This casita has all the modern amenities to make a stay in Santa Fe highly comfortable, yet has all the charm of a quaint and comfortable adobe casita. The proximity is close enough to walk to the Plaza, yet just far enough away to be peaceful. A thoughtful book of restaurants to enjoy, sights to see, maps, calendars of events and activities is on the premises which helped acquaint us with items of interest. I would highly recommend this property for a comfy stay in Santa Fe.

The first sentence describes exactly what we tried to design in the renovation of this casita. We spared nothing as we wanted top of the line appliances, plenty of storage in the kitchen, a lovely bath with the exquisite granite as a focus of color. Now it is up to our guests to enjoy. The "Silent Concierge" is a part of every AQUI home to guide you through myriad restaurants, shopping, things to do and day trips. Our aim is to provide you with all the information at your fingertips so you can enjoy every minute of your stay in the land of enchantment.
