About this property

CASA FLORA Quiet & Cozy Downtown Plaza Apartment

Casa Flora is a complete little two room apartment just off Taos Plaza and close to everything Taos offers.
Enter through a brick courtyard lined with summer blooming flowers and outdoor seating area for an evening glass of wine or a morning cup of coffee.
Casa Flora has a living room/kitchen which is comfortable and inviting. The kitchen is well equipped for at home dining and can seat four. The living room sofa is a new queen sofa bed with gel foam mattress for two additional guests or children. Additional $25 per person per night which may be left at departure. The room is heated with a gas log stove and the skylight offers wonderful Taos light.
The bedroom features a queen bed with premium bedding, good reading lights, cozy robes, and charming gas log stove with a decorative tile surround. Only operate gas log stoves from wall thermostats. NEVER turn off main gas line.
The bath has a tiled shower and plenty of towels and bath supplies. Leave your hair dryer at home since I provide one.
Casa Flora is located in an adobe building built in the 1880's and has wooden floors, hand hewn beamed viga ceilings and many multi paned operable windows. 14' thick adobe walls assure winter warmth and summer coolness. All windows are screened with perfect privacy and security. There is a ceiling fan in the kitchen and another in the bedroom. I also a provide 2 swamp coolers in case you are staying during our (luckily short) summer heat spells.
Casa Flora is furnished with antiques, original Taos art from some of our exceptional artists and my sense of whimsy throughout.
As with all of my properties I am dog friendly. I provide dog sheets for bed and furniture. Please use. I charge $10 per dog per night which may be left at departure.
If this apartment is booked for your days please look at Vrbo 422849 or Vrbo 598600. Very similar and on the same street. Vrbo 598600 is an adjoining apartment and can be rented together with Casa Flora for larger groups or families. Vrbo 422849 is just upstairs in the same building.

This spot is soooo cute and cozy! The thick adobe walls guarantee you a very quiet stay and the decor feels really genuine and is very fun and homey. The location is outstanding, an easy walk to Kit Carson, and an even easier walk to fun spots like The Alley Cantina!

Great spot, walking distance to sights

Casa Flor was very cozy and a quiet getaway tucked in the courtyard. Even with the bustle of the 4th of holiday and fireworks, it was a quiet spot. We were able to walk to many sights, restaraunts etc. in town easily. Great spot for our getaway.

Great location. Beautiful decor.

This little place is right across the street from the plaza—the perfect location for a Taos getaway. The flowered entrance is stunning, and the old adobe building was beautifully renovated. The decor is quintessential Taos.

Taos Getaway

My wife and I came in to town for a long weekend and had the pleasure of staying at the Casa Flora. The accommodations were excellent and the location relative to the plaza could not be beat. I would highly recommend this property for anyone visiting Taos.

Love the location, private, easy in easy out. Great decor and comfortable. We were able to relax with wine in the evening, a little dancing on the kitchen floor and then made breakfast in the morning before leaving. large kitchen area with refrigerator to store the food we brought and all needed kitchen items.

It's lovely, cozy, and local to downtown

It was just what one would want for a short stay. Nicely decorated, well heated, working stove and referigerator, hot water, adequate light and outlets. A lovely little place to stay. the only drawback is that the bedroom was separated from the main area by a blanket. Since my son and I keep different hours this made it a little difficult to get to sleep but ear plugs did the trick.

Charming, Spacious & Great Location

We had a great stay at Casa Flora. I wasn’t aware how large it was. The kitchen was well-equipped. The decor was whimsical. The location couldn’t have been better: we walked to the plaza & surrounding restaurants. The manager, Melissa, was extremely accommodating of my inexperience in reserving a VRBO (thanks!). I would definitely stay here again.

A Taos Haven

Casa Flora is a great place to stay near the town’s central plaza. Cozy with an eclectic decor and a warm vibe, the two room ground floor apartment’s wooden floors and adobe walls surrounded its guest in charm. Melissa is quick to assist and looks forward to helping with every need. She also has a wide array of other ‘homes away from home’ to choose from in this central Taos location.

Casa Flora, Better Than Home

Where do we start, we use home rentals while traveling and found Casa Flora to be a real gem. Very comfortable residence with all one finds at home. It's location to the plaza and surrounding points of interest could not have been more convenient. Melissa is quite possibly the greatest gem this property has to offer. Her warmth as well as her knowledge of all things Taos made this an exceptional trip. We've been to Taos before, but because of Melissa, we were able to see it thru new eyes. We'll definitely be back...to visit our new friend.

Very small

The apartment was clean and the location is good. The lighting is not good, WiFi did not work, there is no closet for clothes and communication with Melissa wasn’t the best. I sent an email upon our arrival, which was a Monday, and still had not heard back when we left Thursday.

This unit is just a block from the main square. It was clean and cozy. It is elaborately decorated with Taos style antiques. The kitchen and bathroom have everything you need. The unit is rather dark during the day . At night, there are a lot of lamps and overhead lights but it is very dim for reading. There is a public parking lot directly across the street. It charges by the hour during the day but is free after 6pm until 10AM. There is parking close by a church that is 5 per day. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

About the host

Hosted by Melissa /Taos mgr.

Host profile image
I moved here from Marin County California in 2005. I wanted a simpler life in a small town and have found my niche in Taos. I now own 11 vacation rental properties in Taos. Everything from one bedroom apartments and casitas to two and three bedrooms. Most are an easy walk or on the Plaza. All are special and decorated in a very 'Melissiana' style Many of my guests comment that they are what they always thought Taos should be...

Why they chose this property

Some women collect shoes, some collect shoes. I seem to collect houses. I love to furnish, decorate, equip and manage these spaces as vacation rentals. I consider myself 'The Vacation Rental Queen of Taos' I had finished my last project--two homes right downtown on a property that had been in foreclosure for two years. Then I bought a downtown compound with four homes. The Inspection Report was 49 pages long. All of my homes have been on recent Taos Home & Garden Tours- Quite a compliment to my style... It's just so much fun!

What makes this property unique

Casa Flora is quiet and private. There is room for a couple to stretch out, enjoy, cook at home, but outside the front door is everything downtown Taos with shops, galleries, museums and a dozen restaurants within walking distance. There is even free parking right across the street. The town is not ticketing at the meters currently.
