Hacienda del Desierto, Tucson Arizona

Make Tucson and Hacienda del Desierto the hub of your activities for Southern Arizona. Enjoy the flavor of an old Spanish hacienda in a peaceful, secluded desert setting on 16 acres with mountain views attractive to nature lovers and romantics located near Saguaro National Park East, just minutes from restaurants and shopping, but a world away from the pressures of everyday life. This adobe home is built around a Spanish style courtyard with fountain and flowers. Hike, bird watch, pamper yourselves under the stars in one of our spas, or relax with a good book on one of our patios or porches in a garden environment. Four spacious luxury accommodations each have, private baths, private entrances, and ornate antique heating stoves for cool evening ambiance. Three have kitchenettes. Call ahead to arrange a luxurious massage.

Each accommodation is distinctively decorated, incorporating modern conveniences and comforts with antiques, Mexican folk art, and paintings.
As a result of guest feedback, the Hacienda won the 2004 Book of Lists Arrington B & B Journal award for “Best Interior Design & Décor”. There is a two-bedroom casita, two 2-room suites, and a spacious bedroom. Visit our website to see pictures and descriptions of each accommodation.

Birders, largely due to our many feeders and garden plants, have identified twenty-nine different types of birds at the Hacienda. Javalina, our wild peccaries, also visit daily. A new nature trail has just been developed for
those guests who are not avid hikers but who want to experience a desert walk. Guests are provided a booklet which identifies many of the native
Sonoran Desert plants found on the property.

Other recognition we have received:

“One of Best 23 B & B’s in Arizona” Phoenix Magazine 2003. Book of Lists winner “Inn with most Privacy”, "Best Decor", "Best Wildlife Viewing" from Arrington B & B Journal.
