Very well equipped and we loved the kiva fireplace too! Lots of space & comfortable bed. Location was PERFECT for so many walks to and around Old Town. Close to a park. Wish we’d be around for the garden in patio areas! A GEM -we loved experiencing a casita- and our conversations with host who lived in our Minneapolis neighborhood for years!!!!

Lovely place to stay

The property was clean and had everything I needed. Rob was very helpful and Agatha the Labrador was lovely and friendly. Location was perfect if you want to visit the Old Town Plaza. It was also close to a bus line if you want to use them. Recommend Church Street Cafe and Little Anita’s to eat. Noisy Water Winery had lovely wine and nice food.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at La Perla. The cottage was perfect for 2 - super clean and well stocked. We used the washer/dryer and appreciated the available supplies. The water bottles in the fridge were very much appreciated too. Rob and Aggie were excellent hosts. Don't miss the breakfast tacos at Central Grill!

Checks every box for a five star casita in Old Town. Great location, well appointed, beautiful and private courtyard, comfortable bed, and an awesome host (Rob). The thermostat controlled fireplace was a very nice touch. Will definitely stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Arlene Cervantes

Host profile image
The Rispoli family are the proud owners of La Perla in Old Town. Having traveled a great deal , they know how important the little things can be and take delight in providing a "home away from home" for our visitors from around the world. Rob spent decades providing mortgage services to families throughout the U.S. These days you're most likely to find him working or hanging out in the courtyard he lovingly cares for. As only the third owners in one hundred years, we are committed stewards to this special historic property for all to enjoy...The Rispoli Family

Why they chose this property

The Rispoli family moved a great deal and while Tempe, Arizona was our base we lived in Palo Alto, CA, Minneapolis, Durango, CO, Greenville, SC AND Albuquerque. As Tempe and the Phoenix area grew, we decided it was the right time to relocate to a smaller city and a less stressful lifestyle. One day, while on a business trip to Albuquerque, Rob noticed a for sale sign being pounded into the ground in front of a just-renovated Old Town property. He stopped, greeted the owner, went inside, called Phyllis and the rest as they say is history! We love our property and want you to feel as comfortable and relaxed as we do everyday when we greet the day. Come stay with us and enjoy the very best of our town in old town...!

What makes this property unique

You can park your car and walk from La Perla to the Old Town Plaza, 3 museums District, and the Sawmill Marketplace. It's only a 2-3 minute walk (really) to Tiguex Park, or the Old Town Plaza with its 200 year-old church, gazebo, restaurants and shopping. You'll find amazing SW and Native American jewelry. Caution: If the prices and too good to be true, that's a tipoff that it's probably not authentic!

Our guest book lists favorite New Mexican restaurants, local cafes, and fine dining. The Sawmill Marketplace is a very cool food hall with 20+ vendors and lots of outdoor dining in the warmer months.

The Summer months offer live music venues around the Old Town neighborhood. We are one mile from the Bio-Park's Aquarium and Botanical Gardens. Only an hour's drive to Santa Fe, you can also hop on the 'Railrunner' in downtown and enjoy a leisurely trip at a reasonable price.
