Long to get-away, really get-away to a place of peace, quiet and tranquility? Visit Bella Vista Casita. Experience 360 degree views from this hill-top casita part of the host's 10 acres of rolling sage brush, pinon and juniper. Be wowed by the dark skies of Taos as you sit in the hot tub located next door in the host's walled garden or from the casita's private patio. Both great for viewing the milky way.

Open living in a very private, custom, studio casita with high tongue and groove aspen wood deiling, thick plaster walls, saltillo Mexican tile floors with in-floor heat, and tumbled travertine kitchenette (no stove) and travertine bathroom.
