466-4000 About 20 miles southeast of Santa Fe, Galisteo was once a Spanish Colonial outpost built on the ruins of an ancient Indian pueblo. Today, it's home to artists, writers, healers and a native community that retains a strong sense of its Indian and Spanish traditions. Breakfasts are imaginative, with a main dish that could be chile frittata one morning or breakfast burritos the next, along with such standards as home-baked breads, fruit salad, yogurt, smoothies and freshly brewed coffee and tea. For additional charges, guests can also enjoy massages, horseback riding, picnic lunches and, of course, the inn's famous dinners. 471-7026 Heart Seed is both an inn and a spa located 25 miles south of Santa Fe on the scenic Turquoise Trail.
