Weddings, Reunions, and Celebrations:
Escondido can serve as an adjunct in flexibly accommodating larger groups. For instance, Casa Galeria is an adjacent property with access just around the corner (Listing #186903--2 BR/1 bath). Then located 1 block away, in the same quiet, historic neighborhood, is the affiliated 3-adobe-home Otero-by-the-Plaza Compound (Listing #126419). These three vacation rentals are characterized by spacious gathering spaces, quiet privacy, and delightful colors with international art and artifacts throughout. The full array of eight neighborhood homes can accommodate up to 42 guests. As such, it is a flexible and gracious launching pad for groups with varied interests to disperse at will, easily regroup, share good times, and create lasting memories. A favorite for weddings, family reunions, and other celebratory occasions!
Welcome:
When you arrive at a Colorful Santa Fe home, we are there to personally greet you and orient you--and answer any questions you may have. In addition, we supply each of our homes with a welcome binder which includes maps of Santa Fe and the environs and some ideas of things to do and places to go. A very favorite with our guests is our extensive section of restaurant menus -- arranged by closeness of proximity (those to walk or drive to) and by special interests such as Take Out, Healthy Eating, Favorites with Kids, and Less Expensive Fare. When we say 'Welcome Home,' we mean it!
