The setting is splendid, immersed in nature, isolated on a hilltop outside Santa Fe.More than a hotel it feels like a private home open to a few guests who have the privilege of sharing the grounds and relaxing with a glass of wine over a good book in the living room in the evening.Since part of the access road is unpaved a 4WD is adviseable.

This is a 10-unit hotel built in hacienda style about a half-hour from Santa Fe. The setting is absolutely gorgeous -- on a bluff with distant views of mountains all around. The last 5 miles to get there are dirt road, which adds to the feeling of remoteness. The service was superb, all provided by Carey, who served the excellent and interesting food, made up the room, and otherwise went above and beyond to respond to our requests. The room was not up to the expectations we had based on the $1K/day price, however -- mid-priced amenities, linens, towels, and furnishings, and wi-fi that didn't work in the room. The sole reason we didn't rate this 5 stars is that the price is too high for what we got.
