The owner, Paco, is welcoming and friendly! We came in late and he let us check in so late! We appreciated it so much! The place is adorable! Walking distance to everything! We missed the breakfasts as they are only on the weekends and we were there during the week! We highly recommend this place!! Best time!

My wife and I had a terrific stay at La Dona Luz. It is like staying in a New Mexico museum and Paco (owner) was there to greet us and take us on a tour. We were in the Yellow Bird room, which is actually two super-colorful rooms. The inn provides a hot breakfast on weekends, which was nice. You can’t beat the location—right at the main intersection of Taos, so easy walk to everything. We loved our stay.

The rooms are very nice, with lots of original art and curios. The owner of the property is great and very helpful. The outside of the property looks less inviting, and doesnt do the hidden gem inside, justice. We would stay here again.

The property is identified as a "Bed and Breakfast", but breakfast was only served on weekends. That was very disappointing. Surely a "self-service" of simple breakfast items (fruit, coffee, yogurt, cold cereal, bagels, etc.) could have been made available in the common kitchen, with minimal difficulty to the management.

This is one truly unique Inn. Amazing hospitality to start with …with Paco…the Innskeeper (and what a host he is!). Then you see his life’s work in the artistry, craftsmanship and art of this lovely Inn. We stayed in the La Madonna suite which featured a deck with chairs, front living room and huge bedroom with Keva fireplace. Fantastic art work adorns the walls and highlights the exquisitely crafted furniture throughout. Gorgeous custom tiled shower in the bath as well as a skylight. It’s hard to describe this property and serve it the full justice it deserves. A very special place. Perfectly located within short walk to the square. You will not be disappointed staying here. It has the true spirit of Taos.

Classic Taos experience - and more so. Third story room with a, balcony and views of the Sangres. Large sitting area, entry with coffee maker, refrigerator and cost closet. Wonderful red Mexican tile flooring and Talaverra surround shower. The bedroom had large windows and a comfy bed! And the entire suite was spotless. The breakfast bu Chef Mark was made to order with wonderful green chili. Paco is a Taos treasure and host extraordinar bar none If you're looking for a home base to walk to the town plaza or the finer galleries and restaurants in town - you found it! Parking is safe and property owned. The entire experience is full of joy, and truly a work of art (literally!) so go and savor life as it should be...
