Overview
Casa Flora Apartment Convenient To Everything
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 double sofa bed for two additional guests or children. 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.
The full bath has a tiled shower and plenty of towels and bath supplies. Leave your hair dryer at home.
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.
Casa Flora is furnished with antiques, original Taos art from some of our exceptional artists and my sense of whimsy throughout.

About Melissa /Taos mgr.
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 have a shop (right in front of Casa Flora) called Red Cat Melissiana with lingerie, gifts and a flower shop (hence Casa Flora...) I serve on a number of Board of Directors and still find time to landscape much of downtown Taos. I love sharing information about this wonderful town with my many guests.
I actually own a total of six vacation rentals in Taos. Everything from two little downtown apartments to two and three bedroom homes. 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...
Melissa /Taos mgr. purchased this apartment in 2009
Why Melissa /Taos mgr. chose New Mexico
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. Now it will be on the Home & Garden Tour this summer! Quite a compliment to my style...I needed a new project and decided to turn the back two rooms of my shop into another rental. It's just so much fun!
What makes this apartment 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 overnight parking right across the street.

A Taos Treasure!
We were delighted with our stay at the charming Casa Flora August 10th-13th. It was charming, cozy, comfortable, and could not have had a more convenient location. Even though it was exceptionally hot and muggy by Taos standards, the swamp cooler allowed us a cool, comfortable sleep each night. The unit was well appointed and could not have been more appealing in its décor. I also thought it very reasonably priced and would confidently recommend this rental to any of my friends. Thanks for sharing it with us!
Perfect Location Perfect Ambiance
We knew CASA FLORA was close to the Plaza, but didn't realize it was just a block from everything! And despite being downtown, it had viable parking just across the street.
We loved the thought that was put into the furnishings and décor. We are so glad we chose to stay here rather than a hotel/resort in the area. It was the perfect way to immerse ourselves into the great Southwest vibe Taos offers.
Awesome!
Cute little place a block away from the plaza. It had everything we needed and Melissa is a great host! I needed an iron, I called her and she told me right where it was! We'll stay here again!
Loved the quaintness, decorations and old Taos style. Thank you for a very enjoyable retreat!
Melissa has provided a beautiful getaway in the center of Taos with great funky decorations, a quiet location, easy walk to all of downtown and making us feel at home. Thank you for a most enjoyable stay at Casa Flora!
Cozy with Authentic Taos Style
This is where you want to stay if you're looking for the atmosphere of old Taos. This is as close to the plaza as you can get, but quiet and private as well. Small but workable kitchen and everything you need to cook or just snack. The kitchen sink is a little small for dishwashing but we managed. I highly recommend this for a 2-3 people who want an authentic Taos experience.
A great place to stay in Taos just a few steps from the Plaza.
Casa Flora exceeded my expectations. If we visit Taos in the future, I am certain we will stay there or in one of the other properties managed by Melissa.
