Casa Benavides Bed & Breakfast

Taos


Spreading through five garden-set buildings a block east of the Plaza, this romantic B&B abounds in fireplaces, patios and balconies. Furniture is mostly antique and handmade, and shares space with artful treasures. A couple of rooms are on the small and dark side, but most are big and bright – check the website. Breakfasts are full and made from scratch.
