Beautiful, comfortable, peaceful

A gorgeous property. The house is so unique, comfortable and beautiful, it is really a treat to stay there. We loved the views! The yard is so lovely and peaceful with the stream gurgling through the trees. The hot tub was delightful. The kitchen and dinning area were wonderful for meals. We had a wonderful time and would love to return.

Great spot for being close to the mountain and Taos!

Overall, the location of this property cant be beat for people looking to explore the mountain and the town. Gary and Isabel were amazing throughout the trip. There were some unexpected issues with the house that popped up during our stay and they were prompt to get them resolved and were very communicative throughout the whole process. The house is advertised to sleep 14 but with 11 adults we were very tight. Would definitely recommend the house as long as you are okay with it being a little outdated. Outside of that, Premier Properties as a whole is a 10 out of 10 so if its not this house, I would highly recommend finding one that they manage.

Love Los Altos but not this home

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I have stayed in Los Altos for 20 years. This year we wanted a home for 10 people. Casa Bella Compound is large but the furnishings, bedding and kitchen are outdated and well worn. The house is not an open concept conducive for engaging entertaining. The kitchen is closed off from the living area and is not equipped as a gourmet kitchen. Pots and pans are old. It is unfortunate that more consideration was not given to taking advantage of the beautiful mountain view instead there are limited windows and blocked views. The Master bedroom set up is very strange with 2 separate full bathrooms and a separate massage table room. Most rooms have old thick curtains that are drooping and nonfunctional with the cords attached. There is old worn and spotty carpet and area rugs throughout. The heating is wall units not the true radiant floor heating. The heater was nonfunctional in the large master bath but a space heater was provided. This is not a true 4 bedroom 4 bath main house. The casita which is attached to the garage, is more of a garage apartment as opposed to a cute free standing casita It is in the same condition as the main house with old and worn furnishing. The property manager/caretaker, Kristi, was very responsive and professional. The property was clean, but clean does not outweigh the outdated and aged appearance of the furnishing and fixtures and flooring. Another disappointment was the gas fireplace. We enjoy a true kiva when in Taos. The gas logs worked fine but do not have the ambiance we enjoy. Owners can do better to assure the status of Los Altos and should work and invest to keep Los Altos home rentals competitive with the new construction and updated rentals popping up in and around Taos.

Casa Bella Review

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Casa Bella overall is a nice home in a beautiful area in Northern New Mexico. Our family overall had a great time visiting Taos Farmers Market, Taos Pueblo & Taos Ski Mountain. Casa Bella seems to be a little neglected in overall cleanliness & upkeep. Cleanliness issue noted upon arrival was the condition (not cleaned for our visit), accuracy (pool code) & out-of-date (Old pamphlets) "blue Book". That side table, the dining table & kitchen counters & dishes had food debris/dirt(?). Not enough silver wear. Dead and alive bugs were found in 2 of the carpeted bedrooms. Front door alignment, water leaking in bedroom might be cause. LR couches are old & stained. There were downed & partially downed trees in back yard area. The main house hot tub is older, no net to clean top debris. On the bright side, the air conditioner cools the house very well, the beds were clean comfortable & there were plenty of blankets, towels & pillows. High chair was a plus!! For 2-3 nights, it generally worked!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Large home in one of the best areas. This home is perfect for large families. The main home has 4 bedrooms plus sleeper sofas. If you add the adorable casita you can accommodate more. The main living areas and kitchen are great. Home is clean but needs a refresh on bedding, curtains and old stained bedroom carpeting. Views are amazing. The host at this property is amazing .

Lovely house! Great location.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: We really enjoyed staying at Casa Bella. There were 9 of us and two were very young children. The youngest loved the babbling acacia that ran right beside the house and the big hammock that was hanging right outside the back door. We spent most of our time on the deck - cooking, eating, visiting, watching the 6 year old and the 4 year old dip their toes in the spring. We also enjoyed the swimming pool at Los Altos. Everything worked well except for the water pressure which was very low. The house was clean and well equipped. Beds were comfortable and there were plenty of bathrooms. There was some confusion when we arrived. We had rented the house and the casita but were not able to gain entry to the casita until late in the afternoon (early evening) because the key was not left for us but Premiere worked to get that resolved. This is the third time that we have stayed at this property. We always use Premiere Properties when traveling to Taos!!

Nice Location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is beautiful along with the grounds and location was perfect. The home could have been better kept. The second hot tub near the casita was unusable, the trees overgrown and cover was caked with dirt. The other hot tub was fantastic but a little low on water. The floorboards in both the main house and casita were quite dirty. The condition of the casita overall was very dirty, the mats didn’t even look like they had been washed. The couch had stains as well, and my guests complained of the bedding smelling of mildew.

Hi Taryn- Thanks you for your review. We always appreciate responsible reviews from our guests with the interest that we can offer a better experience to our future guests. I have spoken with the caretaker of this property and she is supersized at your findings. She personally prepared everything at the home for your stay. She also mentioned that during your stay she had not received any call in this regard. Had she received any communication she would have done her best to resolve these issues. Casa Bella is highly regarded as one the premium vacation rentals homes in Taos and has many reviews to validate that fact. We are sorry that your experience was less than perfect and only wish we had known about these issues during you stay so we could have been able to verify and rectified them immediately. - Premiere Properties Vacation Rentals.

Casa Bella Review

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a few issues with many burned out light bulbs in fixtures. Seemed like the house was a little musty and dusty. A spring cleaning would be good. A few shower heads were clogged and need attention. Over all we had a fabulous stay and beautiful location, minutes from Taos.

Dear M.T, Thank you for taking the time to let us know of your experience at Casa Bella Compound. I whole heartedly agree! There is no excuse for missing light bulbs and it is the most frequently heard complaints across the country. (We vacation rental folks maintain a "network" of correspondence. Please know that your review has finally reached my boiling point and I am about to levy a fine on the Caretaker who garners a poor review because of missing light bulbs! I sincerely thank you. The suggestion for Spring Cleaning was scheduled for the 2nd week of May and your arrival was during the first week. And yes, Taos has hard water and twice a year shower heads need to be soaked in vinegar in early May and early Novenber.

Casa Bella and Julianne are GREAT!

Rating Details: The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Excellent----and it's all because of Julianne, the caretaker/mgr of Casa Bella Coumpound. She was in constant contact with me for the past two years of leasing this house. The house is wonderful but she makes it great! She keeps the house in wonderful shape and makes sure you have anything you need. She even had flowers, a card and candy waiting for us!! I would recommend this home to anyone who is looking for a large home with everything they could possibly need.

Bella casa

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The home was perfect for 10 people. The house was beautiful. The kitchen was well equipped and fun for the cooks. The teenagers loved the privacy of the casita and their own hot tub. The deck, yard and creek were fabulous and the bbq good. Our dog especially loved walking in the creek and watching the prarie dogs. On the. Negative side a few light bulbs were out, one of the bedroom doors would not lock, one of the shower heads in the master did not function, the gas stove was not cleaned thoroughly and the jacuzzis were dirty. The highlight was the Millicent Rogers museum, the weaving store in arroyo seco and Bella's restaurant in Taos. In spite of the negatives I would recommend the home to a friend as the home was a major plus

Reviewer Comments: Casa Bella Compound was the perfect place for all three of our family to have plenty of privacy and come together for our meals and fun memorable times. The convenience of getting the kids to ski school is at the top of our list. In less than 15 minutes we could be on the mountain. Arroyo Secco is a few minutes away and the kids enjoyed the ice cream shop. We will come back for sure!
