or hot air ballooning, all are just minutes away from the privacy
of your bed and breakfast room at Alma.
In winter the world famous Taos Ski Valley along with many other
exciting downhill and beautiful cross-country ski areas await you.
Best bumper sticker of 2003--"Taos, a four letter word for
Steep."
Wildlife abounds on our four acres. The nearness of the wild is thrilling and comforting at the same time. Just imagine watching the moon rise over Taos Mountain while listening to the coyotes sing. It's magical.

"We loved this B&B. The rooms are so beautiful, the innkeepers so friendly, and the atmosphere so relaxed. It is the only place I'd stay on a visit to Taos. A great find!"
"We found the Alma Del Monte to be a wonderful B&B located just a few miles outside of Taos Plaza. Quiet with beautiful views of Taos Mountain, this was exactly what we wanted. Proprietors Phyllis and Jan were exceptional hosts. Breakfasts were spectacular. And we loved the mellow (cocktail) hour in the evenings. Just a top notch place! We would will definitely like to return."
"Alma del Monte is in a heavenly setting with fabulous views of the landscape. The Innkeepers are friendly, very attentive and provide guests with information about events taking place in Taos, as well as nearby sites of interest. The three course breakfasts are superb!!! The rooms are spacious. The outdoor hot tub allows for stargazing at midnight! You will leave refreshed, relaxed and longing to return. There is no better bed and breakfast anywhere!"
"We liked Alma del Monte so much in March, 2005 we decided to return this summer. And boy are we glad we did! Not only did we return, but we brought my 79 year old mother-in-law to share in the perfection. We were in B&B heaven for 5 nights..."

"A hard place to leave, even for skiing.”

“This exquisite hacienda with five guest rooms is surrounded by spectacular panoramic views. Guests can relax in the antique-filled living room, luxuriate in a private whirlpool, snuggle into down comforters or swing in courtyard hammocks. Rooms are furnished in a stunning combination of antique and Southwest style, each with its own kiva fireplace. If you have an ability to appreciate unsurpassed pampering and attention to every detail of your stay, this could be the place for you."
"When Jan Waye and his wife, Phyllis, took over this Bed and Breakfast last November, the first thing they did was transform the décor from English country to cowboy chic—think red antique lamps and hand-carved rocking horses. Guests breakfast on zucchini frittatas or “celebration” French toast while gazing at 360 degree views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains."
"We just returned from two days and two nights at the Alma del Monte. We also stayed in town for two nights at another B&B. The Alma was the winner, hands down, and in our opinion, it is the place to stay in the Taos area. Breathtaking views, brilliant sunsets, beautiful rooms, gourmet breakfasts, and wonderful hosts make for a five-star experience."
