Casa Gallina is the best B&B I've ever stayed in. The room was lovely; it was warm and comfortable, and Richard had attended to every possible detail, even greeting us with wine and hors d'oeuvres. Richard was fantastic as well, making sure that we had everything we needed and offering great advice on the best hikes, restaurants, galleries, etc. As... more

So much has already been said about Richard Spera and his Casa Gallina, that I have to take a different way of viewing it. Let me tell you what it is NOT. If you are expecting marble bathrooms, a concierge, daily maid service and snob appeal, this Inn is not for you. There is no pool and there are no... more

Richard is a wonderful host. A beautiful selection of cheese, dried fruits and baked goods greeted me. I had fresh eggs every morning from the hens pictured on the Casa Gallina site. His dinning recommendations were excellent. The accommodations are large, beautifully furnished and provide absolute privacy. The solitude at night is amazing and Taos is 5 minutes away. I... more

What can I say? My wife and I stayed with Richard from the 10th to the 17th. We could not have been more pleased with everything. Richard is a great host and a wonderful person. We enjoyed all of his homemade treats for us (Scones!) and enjoyed his company at his breakfast table. We consumed more fresh eggs in a... more

The level of comfort experienced here is second only to being in your own home. The structures are very beautifully appointed. Richard is an incredible innkeeper. The location is close enough to the village of Taos to allow for easy access to restaurants. Make sure to inquire about the posibility of recieving a massage. Richard is also an incredible masseur.... more

Upon arrival he knew all of our names and had prepared a little wine and cheese reception for my father who was turning 80 during the trip. He... more

Casa Gallina is an exceptional find. If you're looking for a weekend getaway or a couple of weeks holiday, look no further. This beautiful compound is situated on a dirt road not far from Taos plaza. From the moment you arrive, Richard will treat you like family, show you around, and make sure you're comfy. The casita is beautifully appointed... more

There are so many reviews telling you how wonderful this place is I am not sure what I can add, but I will try and highlight a few things we thought were special. As you can see from everyone's photos, the place is gorgeous and about as relaxing as possible. As a foodie, I especially enjoyed using the fresh eggs... more

It looks like Richard doesn't need anymore fabulous comments... but Casa Gallina is fabulous! We added on one more night b/c we just couldn't get enough. We were so relaxed here that we took a nap every day....... while listening to the birds chirp and the chickens do their little thing outside. We had our 1 1/2 yr old toddler... more
