Both King Bedrooms and the Living Area have Flat Screen TV's (Basic Cable and a few extras) as well as Excellent High Speed WiFi. (Bring your codes to watch any special channels of your own.)
Located on a quiet tree lined residential street in South Capitol, this area is one of the oldest and most charming neighborhoods in Santa Fe. High ceilings with exposed Vigas, a light infused kitchen and living area with views to both front and back landscaped private outdoor patios. A Kiva Fireplace with Battery Operated Candles indoors and a Wood Burning Chiminea (wood provided) for those cooler evenings on the Back Patio. Patio Tables and additional Seating are on both patios.
The Highest speed internet available is included, for those working/keeping in touch during their stay. All access codes are displayed in the condo.
Bella Casa is in the Old Trails Condominium Complex which was built in 1983 on the site of a former estate. The condo is located less than a mile from the center of the Santa Fe Plaza, the Railyard, and Canyon Road. These destinations form a "Circle on the Map" for fabulous walking or driving adventures. We are so close to Downtown that the Saint Francis Cathedral’s bells can be heard on the patios!
If you are traveling with a larger group, I have a few neighbors on the same street who are also Hosts, and coordinating housing is possible when booking in advance.
Enjoy the downtown Plaza located in the center of Santa Fe, Galleries, Artist Studios, Museums, Loretto Chapel, the Opera, Music Festivals, Canyon Road, Meow Wolf, Farmers Markets, and Art Shows along with Excellent Restaurants. A short drive away you will find Wineries, Spas, Golfing, Skiing, Fly-fishing, Hiking, and Cycling!
The Sky Railway departs from downtown at The Railyard and offers trips for Star-Gazing, Music, Wine adventures and More! Truly a Unique Experience!
Day trips are easily accomplished throughout Northern New Mexico including Taos, Red River, Los Alamos, multiple Indian Reservations, as well as many Casinos. Some of my local favorites are the Cooking Classes available at Santa Fe School of Cooking as well as Art Classes of all kinds (even Glass Blowing!) at several local venues.
The Albuquerque Airport is less than an hour away by car with the recently expanded Santa Fe Airport south of the condo only 15-20 minutes away. Both have Rental Car opportunities on sight.
The Two King bedroom & bathroom spaces are separated with one up 9 steps from the main living area and one down 8 steps, which proves to be especially nice for guests privacy. Both of the bedrooms have large closets with plenty of hangers and luggage racks for your convenience.
No matter what brings you to New Mexico, I believe you will truly enjoy your time at Bella Casa! This will be a place to call home while you are away!
Come experience the City Different, we know you will want to return!

About the host

Hosted by Diane and Phil Apprill

Host profile image
My husband and I both grew up in New Mexico - my husband in Los Alamos, and myself in Albuquerque. Meeting at UNM in 1972 was the beginning of a fabulous journey for us. We moved around the country but always wanted to be back in New Mexico. Splitting the difference between our families, in 1987 we ended up with the most amazing condo just outside of the craziness of downtown Santa Fe. Over the years we were blessed with a beautiful daughter who loves being in Santa Fe as well! The condo remains our very favorite spot, and we have worked hard to make it inviting, comfortable and functional for our guests. We began years ago just occasionally renting to friends and family, and have expanded to include others. We have had the best experiences with travelers, and invite you to become one of our cherished guests. We strive to accommodate the needs of each group, so let us know what you are looking for in a vacation spot, and we will be completely honest with you about our home. It is important to us that you have a great trip and everything works perfectly for you. We have great associates in Santa Fe should anything be needed, so rest assured you will be well taken care of by the best. Happy Travels!

Why they chose this property

When we finally began looking for a place in Santa Fe, we knew we wanted something close to the Plaza with all of the restaurants, galleries and museums. We looked forever it seemed, then one day we happened upon a condo for sale in the South Capitol area. Tree lined residential streets, quiet, with the most sought after elementary in town. Turns out, the condos were designed and built by friends of my husbands in the mid 1980's. Phil is an architect by trade, and upon this discovery, we knew this was the place. At the time, it wasn't very well kept, and we strove through the years to be sure it is always in pristine condition with traditional Santa Fe Style furnishings and art. Lots of love and care has gone into the unique furnishings, the acquisition of art, and continuous maintenance.

What makes this property unique

Let me start with what to expect when you arrive at Bella Casa. We have 2 dedicated off street parking spaces, which make entry with all of your bags very easy to accomplish no matter the weather...just steps from the front patio door. Both our front and back patios are complete with seating, greenery and beautiful shade trees as well as being surrounded by tall adobe walls, so they are completely private. After accessing keys you will enter through the gate, onto the front patio. This is a great spot for a favorite beverage and relaxing. It is viewed from the living room and lends fabulous light and ambiance to the condo. The back patio has a grill, easy access to dry firewood, a patio table as well as additional seating and a Chiminea. It can be viewed from the kitchen and dining area. If you are ever lucky enough to be at Bella Casa in May, you will see the magnificent Lilac bush in bloom by the kitchen window. Arch Bishop Lamy gifted this plant to his close friend, my husband's Grandfather, who was the Editor of the New Mexican for many years. It was transplanted from their home in Santa Fe and remains in our garden.

The two bedrooms are completely separate. Upstairs is a King bed, with great light and private tub/shower full bath. Plenty of storage, as well a spacious closet. Brick floors throughout, vaulted ceilings with vigas, and a great view of the back patio and beyond. In the winter months when the leaves have fallen, you can see the top of the Capitol building (also known as the Round House) from the window, and the mountains surrounding Santa Fe. Downstairs is an identical sized bedroom with a King Bed/Bath. The window overlooks the back patio. Vigas, brick floors, and a large closet complete this room. Flat screen TV's are in both bedrooms as well as the Living Area.
