About this property

La Vida Buena | Unique Retreat, Heart of Santa Fe!

Which is more beautiful, the luxe furnishings and decor of this South Capitol area home, or its huge, shaded garden with pinon pines and al fresco dining? You might just have to come see for yourself!
La Vida Buena is right in the heart of Santa Fe, in a quiet, leafy neighborhood just a mile from the Plaza. The house is New Pueblo-style, with wood-burning kiva fireplaces, handsome viga ceilings, and all the little touches that make a home unique. Best of all, it is set in a large lot with a lovely garden, several patio spaces, and plenty of greenery for you to enjoy!
Step inside and admire the southwestern colors and handsome style of La Vida Buena. The living room is dominated by a bank of windows with beautiful modern stained glass, turning the sunlight bright colors as it falls into the room. A handsome leather couch and banks of pillows on built-in seating invite your group to relax around the fireplace or watch the large flat-screen mounted on one wall. Everything is neat, spotless, and utterly charming. This is northern New Mexico living at its finest!
Adjacent to the living room are the kitchen and dining areas, painted in bright colors and immaculately appointed. You will love the stainless-steel appliances and well-stocked cupboards in the kitchen, which is fit for the finest chef. No matter what you yearn to make -- from a simple snack to a family feast -- you will find what you need here. All the time-saving countertop appliances are here too, to get you up and moving in the morning: coffeemaker, toaster, and more. Just add groceries!
The dining room is a spacious and beautiful area, with a table that seats 4 and a second wood-burning kiva fireplace for warmth and atmosphere. This room also doubles as a game center, so your group can divide up between those who want to watch a movie in the living room and those engrossed in cards. You will love how roomy La Vida Buena is, with plenty of private areas so that each member of your party c

Authentic Feeling
This home was decorated in Mexican decor. It felt like you were going back in time. A very cute Pueblo close to Old Town within walking distance if you’re an avid walker. One bathroom was quite small but had a great shower and one bedroom lacked space for suitcases but we just put them in another room. We enjoyed our stay there and some of the quirks.

Beautiful stay in Santa Fe
The house was all we hoped for for an authentic Santa Fe adventure. Close enough to the plaza and lots of good restaurants to walk so we did not have to hassle with parking .

Amazing
This is a beautiful property to stay at. Peaceful and quite.The backyard is amazing. Very private. It was nice to sit out in with my morning coffee. Kitchen is well stocked. Decor was top quality. This is a place I would recommend and go back to. Tip: arrive while it is still daylight. The driveway is hard to see in the dark.

Loved the rusticness and everything in the house. Only serious issue we all saw were the bugs in the tv room near the fireplace, in the bedroom and bath. Maybe it is time for a fall spraying! The oout side was weedy but not offensive.The master bath tub/ shower was a bit hard for two of us over 80 to climb into. Overall the place was wonderful and we would stay t there again! Our guests also thought the place was awesome!!!

Charm, Charm, Charm and AC!
Four of us spent three days in Santa Fe and walked everywhere. Great shops, restaurants, museums, galleries, and neighborhoods. Lovely patio for reading or napping…except for the neighbors cat.
