Good to know

Casa Del Arte is a serene compound surrounded by nature, designed for those who want to disconnect from the modern world and reconnect with what truly matters.

Our home was featured in Vogue magazine (June 2022), highlighting its artistic flair and stunning design.

Absolutely gorgeous property. Our group of 7 enjoyed spending a weekend here and everyone had lots of room to spread out. I stayed in the casita space and it was very quiet and cozy. It was windy and chilly while we were there so we loved the hot tub and heated salt water pool. We made fires every night in the outdoor fireplace in the pool bar. The beach is a few minutes walk away. The host recommended a chef (Jorge de La Rosa) who came and cooked us a great dinner at the casa one night bc we didn’t want to leave the house. My photographer friend took lots of cool photos of us there because every single space is super vibey. Only thing to note is some of the rooms lack blinds/curtains and the art studio room doesn’t have a ton of privacy if folks are walking around, but it wasn’t a problem for our group. I was sad to leave!

Beautiful house and location. Everything a group needs to really enjoy Todos Santos. Perfect spot to watch the sunset, room to spread out and pretty pool and fire pit to enjoy on property!

Casa del Arte is the ideal house in Todos for a group trip. The buildings and grounds have the best energy - so peaceful and sacred. We really enjoyed our 3 nights here. Armando (the house manager) and Chris were always extremely quick responders. Would give 6 stars if I could.

A really beautiful, special property a few minutes outside of main Todos Santos. Stayed here with a small group of friends and we loved exploring the many places to relax and hang: record room, pool and hot tub, fire pit. Would stay here again next time I found myself in Todos!

Absolutely stunning, could not have asked for a more beautiful backdrop to my 40th birthday celebration. Everything was luxurious and comfortable, Armando was easy to communicate with and he went above and beyond to make us comfortable. I fell in love with Todos Santos and won’t hesitate to book this magical place again.

Pictures do not do justice! Home is much larger in person and updated with all amenities ( except washer/ dryer) Tons of natural light ( bring eye masks if sensitive for sleeping) and the design detail is stunning. So much thoughtfulness put into the design and all appliances ( including pool/ spa) very easy to use. Armando ( house manager) was always readily available, so kind and very helpful which gave us such a memorable trip. We cant wait to return!

I’m speechless! Casa del Arte was the perfect place to celebrate my birthday. Everyone in our group is an artist/creator and we felt so inspired by the architecture, interior design, and layout of the property. It’s stunning and exactly as described plus more! There are tons of bathrooms so we call could comfortably get ready and never had to wait to shower (huge plus). The kitchen is stocked so if you love to cook, it’ll be easy! There are also tons of table settings to add to the vibes ✨ It’s a short drive to town and to Cerritos for swimmable waters & surfing 🏄🏼‍♂️ Only down fall were the mosquitoes 🦟 not sure if this is a usual issue or a result of the recent hurricane. We were eaten alive!! Thankfully we found citronella incense to burn outside every door from sunset through the night. We also bought citronella candles to burn inside the doorway. That created a barrier and kept bugs out perfectly! Hosts were responsive, kind, & helpful! There’s no doubt i’ll be back! 🩵

Absolutely stunning home and fantastic overall experience. Casa Del Arte is its own private resort that exceeds expectations and is somehow even more beautiful than the photos!!! Chris and the property manager are highly attentive, helpful, kind, and accommodating. We had the best time and truly cannot wait to return. Could not recommend this more!

Pictures are amazing, yes, but can't capture just how amazing this place is. The compound and everything within it is beautifully designed, impeccably furnished, well thought out and a true pleasure to experience. The beds, linens, cookware and appliances are all top notch. We wanted to pack up everything and take it home with us. The pool was fantastic. Always clean and a great respite from the heat of August in the Baja. Due to the temps, we had no need for the hot tub or fire pit, but they look like they would be great too. We had a few small hiccups with internet and air conditioning when we first arrived, but Chris (owner) and Armando (local liaison) were both fantastic with getting issues resolved quickly. Can't say enough about how accommodating and helpful Armando is. He lives just a few minutes away and was there in a moments notice to help us with anything at all. If you can afford this place, stop looking and book it. You won't regret it.

Beautiful artists home, kids friendly. Best part about the house are the aesthetics. Everything was chosen for its design which we enjoyed. Great pool and hot tub area. There is a neighbor next door but still very private. Good location in Todos Santos… not far from the beach, close to the town! Enjoy all the great farm to table food and the road less traveled :)

Find us

A rental car is highly recommended when visiting Todos Santos. You can walk and jog easily from Casa Del Arte. Getting into town requires a drive. Driving in the Baja is part of the fun, dusty roads, no stop signs, take a step back to enjoy the beautiful rugged landscape! Taxis are not very reliable. Parking at the house is easy and we have space for a number of vehicles.
